Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya

A very classy Japanese restaurant with the dining area located on the second floor. We were seating right by the entrance which provided a nice view of the lanterns that lighted up the stairs coming up. We had a sushi and sashimi combo and sashimi deluxe. Not overly heavy and it was a nice way to eat some healthy food to end the night without breaking the bank.

Went for casual dinner, sashimi and sushi were average for the price but still good. The highlights of the night would be the bone marrow fried rice, savory with rich flavors. Enter the restaurant from the hotel next door to the second floor. The bar is also on the same floor with the awesome honest bartender.

Blue Ribbon Sushi certainly lives up to its name! Their sushi is absolutely top-notch, striking the perfect balance between fresh, high-quality ingredients and expert preparation. If you're a sushi aficionado, this is definitely a spot you'll want to check out. It's a delight for the taste buds! I always sit at the bar. The conversation, bartender and Yankee games are a great backdrop to the menu.

We lucked out moving right across the street from the Izakaya. We’ve lived across the street from the Soho location for years and it’s our favorite. The LES location did not disappoint!!! This location has even more options that are no longer on the other menu. Veggie tempura is a fave. As are the ebi shumai, the grilled avocado (a new fave!) and crispy rice. Full bar and ample space for large groups. Service was lovely and sitting at the sushi bar is always entertaining. Casual or can be a place to dress up. It’s dimly lit and decorated amazingly!

Seen a lot of negative reviews but as a person whose been to a lot of sushi joints I really don't understand it. The service was great, sushi was reasonable for the price and I felt the food was better then most spots in NY overall. Didn't love the atmosphere tho dining by the bar but a good time overall.
