Blue Ribbon Sushi

Sushi restaurant ★4.0 (281)·$50–100

119 Sullivan St, New York, NY 10012, USA

4.0
I recently visited Blue Ribbon Sushi in New York, and while I've had some amazing experiences at Japanese restaurants in the city, this one felt more like a fast-food spot. It’s a place where you can quickly grab a bite, as the service is incredibly fast and the some food probably is already pre-prepared. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel any special charm in the atmosphere, service, or flavors—everything felt rather average.The menu is quite extensive, and I was recommended to try the sushi and sashimi platter for $58. I also ordered a beer, bringing my total bill to $76.21 for one person. While it's convenient for a quick meal, I expected more in terms of taste and overall dining experience. - Alina
