Blue Ribbon Sushi

Blue Ribbon Sushi Restaurant Review:

It's definitely hip and crowded and, like its partner, Blue Ribbon, down the block, the original Blue Ribbon Sushi caters to a late-night crowd. After a seemingly interminable wait for a table (even after midnight) diners are rewarded by sampling from the huge menu that features expertly prepared versions of sushi and sashimi. Fun, though purists may object, are the wonderfully creative sushi rolls and pieces made with vegetables, whole live lobster, filet mignon or lamb, all impeccably prepared. Highlights include spicy blue crab roll, fresh eel sushi and buttery otoro. For dessert, don't miss the chocolate cake with green tea ice cream. The wine list isn't much, but pick from a dozen or so well-chosen sakés that are served traditionally in wooden boxes.
