Blue Ribbon Sushi

This is a restaurant that I've been coming to for years and have seen this menu change multiple times. But the quality of food, customer service, and overall experience is top-tier, from stepping down those stairs, right down to the last delicious bite!My usual order is Ebi Shumai or Pork Shumani as an appetizer and Unagi Roll as an entree. And with a group of friends, I order the Blue Ribbon Special, which offers an array of sushi, sashimi, and rolls.In my most recent dining experience, I ordered a Maki - Special Rolls, specifically Blue Ribbon. As for my main course, I tried a Ribeye Steak, which is paired with two different types of mushrooms and sauce, along with a bowl of rice. You may be wondering, "Why did I order a ribeye steak in a restaurant specializing in sushi?"And I would respond by saying, "Try it for yourself and immerse in the tasteful art of how they intricately cut the ribeye with the right amount of sauce and mushrooms complimenting the ribeye in one dish"My favorite spot to sit is at the bar since I love watching the preparation of the sushi, sashimi, and rolls. But anywhere you sit is ideal, and it is quite spacious since there are tables further in the back for a more private dining experience.I appreciate that the volume and atmosphere are calm, with light conversations throughout the restaurant This location is slightly tucked away since you have to walk down a few steps of stairs to enter, but it is beautifully decorated and set up to truly immerse yourself in your dining experience

Overall: We went here on a Friday night. We didn't have a reservation, but put our name in and had about a 45 minute wait. We went to a nearby place for a drink until we got a text for our table. After the wait, we were seated at the sushi bar. The sushi was good but unspectacular. I thought the maki rolls were much better than the nigiri. It's a good option if you want sushi and don't have a reservation somewhere, but I think there are other places I would try before going back.Food: 3Drinks: 3Service: 3Value: 2Atmosphere: 4Food: We ordered the crispy rice with spicy tuna as an appetizer, the sushi deluxe sampler (10 pieces plus 1 roll), and an extra spicy tuna roll. The crispy rice was very good, with savory rice that had a nice texture and was topped with a dollop of tuna. The sushi platter was somewhat disappointing, none of the individual pieces stood out. The spicy tuna roll was good but very small.Drinks: We ordered a bottle of sake. It came warm and was pretty tasty. There were some other options as well but they were definitely focused on classic Japanese drinks.Service: Service was fine. They were reasonably quick, but refused our request for a knife to cut on the of the apps in half. Not terrible, but would have been easy to accommodate.Value: The crispy rice was $27, the sushi deluxe was $46, and the spicy tuna roll was $14. The maki roll seemed consistent with what I've seen other places, but the crispy rice and sushi deluxe seemed particularly pricy for what they are. This has been billed as a decent value place as far as sushi goes, but I was disappointed in how little we got for how much we spent. I went home hungry and had to eat again.Atmosphere: We were seated at the sushi bar. It was cool to watch the sushi chefs in action.

If wild caught is your thing, this place has so many options. The servers are knowledgable on which fish is wild caught and which is farm raised. Recommendations: miso - comes with miso paste on the side, so you can make it as strong as you want. Nasu Dengaku - miso glazed eggplant - deep umami flavorCrispy rice - WOW! Very crispy rice in a box formation with spicy tuna, avocado, peppers, and eel sauce. GET THIS! So much flavor

Excellent quality sushi for the price. Big pieces of fish with not too much rice in the nigiri or rolls. The service here is fast and friendly and we greatly enjoyed our Sushi Deluxe lunches. The ambiance here is cozy with live edge wooden tables. No wasabi on the nigiri like you'll find in more traditional places so be sure to ask if you want that or add your own like we did. The rice was the perfect warm temperature. The rolls we upgraded our deluxe sushi set to were also delicious. Highly recommended for good quality sushi.

This place is a staple in the fresh (if not pricey) sushi arena. Great wood and stone interior. Long narrow w booths on sides and sushi bar up front. Service excellent always. They're attentive give you what you ask for and are very helpful. Sushi super fresh. Have both creative dishes and staple rolls boxes and pieces. We had sushi 7+1, cauliflower tempura and sushi konoo. And they comped a special of sliced yellow tail that was absolutely exquisite. Everything was excellent. This is a must if you're in village and also late night spot.

Been there several times and loved the experience especially when seated outside. Would recommend this restaurant for authentic Japanese cuisine

We were able to get a last minute reservation for 4 and were sat at a big table with others sitting at it as well. The food was delicious. From our apps to our sushi, we were very happy girls

Made reservations here to try some of the sushi! We came at 12:45pm on Sunday and got seated immediately. The place was cozy and quaint, but a little stuffy. I cracked open the window near us and we got comfortable.I ordered the hondo set, 2 bluefin tuna belly pieces, crispy tuna rice and a few others. The hondo set was really filling and you get a generous amount of food for the price ($38). The staff were also very friendly and it was pretty fresh fish, even if it's a chain.

Really good sushi!! The place itslef is very cute, and it was so busy for lunch on a weekday.I got a sushi combo and my friend ordered things a la carte.I really enjoyed what I ate, my only comment is that it's pretty pricey.

We so happened to stumbleupon blue ribbon sushi one night, and this has been our go-to sushi place since. The sushi here is very fresh and has the melt-in-your-mouth feeling. It was honestly my first time trying higher quality end sushi and truthfully, a life changing experience. The ambiance of the restaurant along with the high quality pieces of sushi really changed my life hahaAlthough Blue Ribbon Sushi is a chain, it is one of the best sushi places I've tried on the east coast. The servers are attentive and guests are warmly welcomed upon entering, which makes the whole experience a lot better If you do go here, I'd recommend getting the sushi & sashimi combination platter ($56 USD) to try all the different fish they offer
