    It was a perfect dinner. Had a belated birthday party with my best friend and Omakase was great as always. I loved the omakase menu during the winter time but the new seasonal menu was even better. The mood and atmosphere there is also great, super cozy yet jazzy vibe, (not many seats but I like it that way) which is rare for a sushi place, and the chef was super cool too. Will definitely come back!

    We've had many meals at Blue Ribbon Sushi at Columbus Circle. This was our first at Blue Ribbon Sushi & Sake and we loved it! We sat at the bar and had omakase and sake. SO GOOD! The 13 courses included many varieties of fresh fish each prepared in a creative, delicious way. We left feeling very satisfied. We also loved the smallish and intimate space. Sushi chef and rest of the staff were super nice and engaging. We'll definitely go back!

    I had spent a week reading reviews ahead of time and was a little skeptical because of how fantastic they all were. But after having gone, all of them are true. The food was exceptional and service was top notch. Pricier than other omakases you could get but it’s worth paying for the quality. Highly recommend sitting at the counter. Food was delicious.

    Great prep, some interesting sets, nice intimate ambiance and excellent service. Music worth a bit of discussion.
