    I've been to both the SoHo and LES locations and their sushi and maki are consistently good. It's a great place to yap with friends. We started our dinner a bit early at 6:15 and it was nice to have the dining room to ourselves. I wish the cocktails were a teeny bit stronger though!

    Blue Ribbon is our go-to restaurant for the milestones of our family and they are always wonderful. The sushi chefs at the bar are absolutely fantastic, professional and a delight to watch at work. The service is kind, attentive to detail and always looking to help. AND THE FOOD IS TRULY MARVELOUS. Overall, our favorite spot for all things important. They always treat us so very well, we always come back! Thank you, BR staff and servers!

    I never even knew there was a Blue Ribbon Sushi on the LES. Blue Ribbon sushi is never a disappointment. Food is always excellent.

    The staff are friendly, but simply put the quality of the food is not nearly at the level of even a mediocre sushi restaurant.
