"Exquisite Sushi restaurant. Their food was top notch. We loved all the sushi dishes, their seafood soup, salad and rolls. But their best dish was the Bone Marrow. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended"

"We just had one of those rare dining experiences that makes you want to write a review on the spot. Blue Ribbon inside the Six Columbus Hotel is nothing short of phenomenal. Every dish we tried was a standout, starting with their legendary fried chicken appetizer. Juicy, crunchy, and with just the right kick of spice, it set the tone for the rest of the meal. We moved on to the wagyu gyoza, which was rich and savory, and the oxtail fried rice that was simply unforgettable. Add in the ginger-glazed ribs, a perfectly shared wagyu steak platter, and a lineup of fresh sushi that made my son’s evening, and you have a feast worth savoring. Drinks were just as stellar. The lychee martinis were a hit, the yuzu margarita was a revelation, and even the ginger sour mocktails delivered big on flavor. The ambiance and service, thanks in part to our fantastic server Air, and Andrew on her team made the evening truly memorable. In short, this was easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Manhattan. Blue Ribbon is a must-visit, and we’ll definitely be back."

"My 9 year old son and I first came here 2 years ago from the Philly area, and we loved it so much we made a trip back to NYC just to eat here again. The staff is all friendly and attentive. The menu isn’t huge, but I’m ok with that because it means they do a better job with fewer items. The sushi is all top notch, very fresh ingredients and super tasty."

"Excellent experience and high quality sushi. We ordered the baked clam appetizer which was fantastic! My husband and I both enjoyed the sushi (10) platters and tuna rolls we selected as well. Some of our favorite sushi were the mackerel, salmon, sea bream and fatty tuna. The service is fantastic and relaxing ambiance was refreshing in the bustling city."

"At Blue Ribbon Sushi Restaurant, classic Japanese dishes are served à la carte, either at the sushi bar or in the authentic tatami rooms, which offer a great deal of privacy. The quality and flavor were outstanding, and the freshness of the fish convinced me again and again—so much so that we ended up dining there every evening. Unfortunately, this quality also comes at a price. At around $80 per person, it is not cheap, but the excellent service and the exceptional food fully justify the cost."

"Really enjoyed having dinner at this restaurant. We had some very tasty starters, including the mackerel which came as sashimi first, and then returned to the table after frying the dish bones..... nice and crispy! This was followed by delightful brown rice, prepped and flavoured with bone marrow. And then the sushi.... wow.... super fresh and so delicate! My favourites were the scallop sashimi and the salmon Nigeria with truffle!"

"Sushi and delux nice. Good quality sashimi. Oxtail ramen hit the spot for cold weather. Dessert also good to share. Service attentive. Decor inside hotel somewhat dark. And booth seats in middle bit wobbly to lean back, but overall consistent ambiance."
