Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya
7 expert reviews
“Silky smooth chicken liver mousse is enriched with butter, cream, sake and miso—and served with sweet toasted challah from Blue Ribbon Bakery.”
– Time Out
"“First-class” fish in “creative and classic” combos makes for “dazzling” sushi at these Japanese “go-tos” by the brothers Bromberg." Full review
"The hearty menu offers nigiri such as Kindai akamai, along with plenty of cooked tastes, like braised strips of tender tripe in tamari butter; sesame-glazed pork meatball kushi-yaki."
Critic's Pick
"The menu of high-caliber sushi and a lengthy list of kitchen dishes brings together elements from more than one other Blue Ribbon concept, and it mostly succeeds."
"The room reeks of hotel restaurant, but they’ve done a good job at minimizing the hoteliness and making the restaurant feel warm and friendly. " Full review

Our advice is to order a lot and make sure to cover all the important stuff – fried chicken, fried rice, skewers, chicken liver mousse and – wait for it – cold vegetables.

"It helps to be eating with an entourage. The cluttered menu spans four pages and a sheet of specials. General rule: the smaller the dish, the better." Full review
