Old standard. Decor not the draw. Quality fresh sushi and sake. Simple menu enhances the fresh food and ingredients.

After reading amazing reviews we looked it up. As other reviews says, it is hard to find. No sign, and it is downstairs. But it is in 119 Sullivan Street. A bit disappointed by the very simple interior. And here simple also means a bit cheap. The menu is amazing. Huge selection signals quality. And it is. Pricey sushis but... More

Blue Ribbon is small and does not take reservations, so unless you go fairly early for dinner, you might have a long wait. But once you get that table, either through early arrival or patient waiting, you will be grateful that you are there. The decor is very much that of a Buddhist refectory (eating room), with rough-hewn wood beams... More

The place is a little difficult to find. It has no signs outside; you can identify it by a Banzai three next to the door of an old building with a narrow wooden entrance. As you get in a hostess who will take you through another door where you will find the dinning area will welcome you. She will announce... More

I'm in New York once a year or so and this restaurant is a must. It's a great little place that serves excellent Japanese cuisine. The Sushi is outstanding and the variety of rolls or not only unique but extremely nice. It's about half way down Sullivan Street in a house like building. There is no sign as such so... More

You don;t often encounter a sushi restaurant like this. It is not easy to find as it seems hidden away in a basement. However, once you find it you will find a true Japanese gem. A menu listing pacific ocean seafood on one side and atlantic ocean on the other. Let me put it this way: Where else can you... More

We went here as it seemed to have good reviews and was close to where we were staying. There is no sign outside so you need to know where it should be or you would miss it. There was a little bit of a wait to get a table. There was a good selection of rolls, sashimi and sushi. I... More

I had dinner at Blue Ribbon Sushi alone. They don't take reservations and have a long wait, so it helped with the wait that I was by myself. The place is small, it has a very nice and cozy atmosphere (see pictures). The spicy rolls are awesome. You should definitely taste them if you haven't. There is a very good... More

This is ( as of now) the best meal we've had in NY - even my non fish eating wife agreed. The sushi is really good. We ate at Nobu Park Lane 2 weeks ago, which is generally considered to be by far the best Nobu, and the sushi here at Blue Ribbon is in my opinion even better. The... More
