Profile

This may be the best raw fish in town—and the sake selection is tremendous. Blue Ribbon Sushi strives to be the Japanese mirror image of its Blue Ribbon brethren (brothers Bruce and Eric Bromberg also own Blue Ribbon, Blue Ribbon Bakery, Blue Ribbon Market, Blue Ribbon Sushi Brooklyn and Brooklyn Blue Ribbon), with frequent success, though it lacks some of the single-minded focus of its predecessors. A tough table, you should definitely expect a significant wait at the door any time after 7 p.m. — Steven A. Shaw

Extra

Bruce Bromberg (who also owns Blue Ribbon and Blue Ribbon Bakery with his brother Eric) trained with Michelin three-star chef Pierre Gagnaire in France.

Listen, the long line says enough about this resturant! IT IS A GREAT RESTUARANT!! Most of the people who gave bad reviews don't know anything about fine Japanese dining. they are the ones that goes for the "california rolls" and "large portions" Blue Ribbon Sushi is an excellent Japanese resturant. I moved out of the neigborhood 10 years ago and I miss it and go back there every chance i get. it is as authentic as you can get. This place do not need these diners that doesn't know how to appreciate, or get into a personal brawl and takes it out on the resturant. shame on you! I have taken all my out of town friends and family here...despite the wait, they all loved it and it is worth it.

Last night I took a friend who was visiting from out of town to Blue Ribbon Sushi based on the great reviews I had read and some personal rec's from friends. My first impression was surprise at how tiny and minimalistic the place was, but the atmosphere was cozy and the lighting nice and dark, so it was fine. Now I have no problem spending money at a restaurant, and I knew that this would not be a cheap meal. My complaint isn't necessarily about the prices, rather the insanely small pieces of fish that they were charging that much for! I ordered the sushi platter- 7 pieces of nigri sushi and a roll for $23. The tuna roll was one of the smallest I have ever received anywhere- I could hardly even see the fish. The nigri sushi pieces were equally small and disappointing. While the taste was good and the quality was nice, in my opinion you can get a better atmosphere and more for your money at other sushi restaurants in the area.
