decent, but theres better
in a party of 5 we sat in a very nice booth they called the best seat in the house...it was pretty cool it was unique and a good spot...the atmoshere is nice, it is a little tight, but its romantic and pretty classy. the service was good, he was very helpful and accomodating to what we wanted and how we wanted it...paid attention to detail. the sushi though was a little disappointing....some at our table thought it was awful, i gave it more credit...could have been fresher...a bit pricey overall for what we got and its quality

not worth the $$$$$$
i used to have a special attachment to this place since it's the place my fiance and i had our first date, but our return here was a huge disappointment. the prices keep going up and the portions seem to be smaller. the fish is still fresh but it's just not worth it anymore. we ended up having to get burgers afterward b/c our $120 of blue ribbon was just not filling...

Just like in Tokyo
My daughter took me to Blue Ribbon Sushi for a late lunch, around 3:00, when I was visting her in Manhattan. I had visited the Orient many times in the past and I must say that this place took me back there. Very authentic. The sushi was fresh and very tasty. The wine was a great and went exceedingly well with what we ordered. The waiter was helpful and the service was great without being pushy and hovering. I can't wait to go back to this place when I am in NY in May.

Hit or Miss
I've been here a couple of times. On some instances, the sushi melted in my mouth. But at other times it was very bland and forgettable. Since the prices here are pretty high, I find it frustrating to pay so much money to get mediocrity. The salad here might be the best salad in NYC, and is definitely worth getting. The service is quick and the waiters are attentive. I think the dining area is a little tight and awkwardly arranged. Overall, if the sushi here is good, then dining here is a very pleasant experience.

Best Sushi ever
Had a fabulous dinner here on Saturday 29 March. Cannot tell you exactly what we had, but everything was so yummy, the fish just melted in our mouths, I fear that after this dining experience, I am spoilt forever and "ordinary" sushi will not taste the same again... Yes, it is expensive and for my taste it was quite loud for such a small place and the waitress seemed kind of absent-minded (twice she forgot to bring things we ordered), but I all this cannot hide the fact that this place blows your sushi-mind!

Good Sushi...subpar waitress!
We recieved a warm welcome by the hosts. The dining room is very small, I'm a claustophobe. Our waitress was one of the worst I've experienced yet. I ordered Pinot Noir...she says: I'm sorry, we're all out of Pinot Blanc...I'm like "I ordered Pinot Noir"! She says: I'm sorry, we're all out of that too. I ordered steamed ebi shumai....u guessed it..not available, the steamer broke. She gave all these answers without an inch of sympathy for a hungry, late nite (it was 1:45 am) eater :-( I ordered the spicy lobster roll (YUMMY) and the spicy tuna roll w/ tempura flakes (DELISH). My hubby ordered the teriyaki rib eye, he said it was really good. I guess my prefered wine being out of stock, and the steamer being out of order, wasn't the waitress' fault...but she could've came by and checked on us atleast "one" time (that was all her fault!) You need great service to accompany a great meal...its only right.

$21 for a roll?! seriously?!
i had very high hopes for this place, but when it came down to it, the i've had way better sushi. period. i had a $19 roll (not memorable whatsoever) and a "special" roll that wasn't even on the menu, suggested by my very handsome waiter. even that was sub-par. so incredibly dissappointed. our bill came up to $140 for a bad meal, one small glass of sake, one glass of plum wine, and a 16oz bottle of kirin (which was probably the best part of the meal). actually, no, the pickled ginger was really very very tasty.
