Blue Ribbon Sushi Grill Financial District

Blue Ribbon is the best sushi in NYC. Always a winner.

This is a great place. We arrived at a quiet time on New Year's day and the place filled up while we ate a wonderful meal of excellent sushi and sashimi with wine and green tea. The servers were attentive and helpful with suggestions about which specials might appeal based on our other preferences--which proved quite accurate. We had a great time!

Their menu is consistently strong beyond just sushi. Scallops, steak, salads, broccoli and shrimp tempura all flavorful and well made. Sushi rice is outstanding, seasoned well.

Ideal spot for a quick lunch while shopping. The sushi is delicious and wonderfully fresh!

I made a reservation here based on the excellent reviews, but I was left disappointed. While the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant, everything else fell short. Both the sushi and sashimi lacked flavor and didn't compare in freshness to our favorite sushi spots. Overall, the meal was not worth the price we paid.
