Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya

Dope spot for some authentic sushi. Izakaya has a great ambiance. This team is very friendly and accommodating from start to finish. Blue ribbon friend chicken was amazing, so crispy and well seasoned. The sushi was well prepared and there are a ton of combo options so that you are able to try a little of everything.

A very classy Japanese restaurant with the dining area located on the second floor. We were seating right by the entrance which provided a nice view of the lanterns that lighted up the stairs coming up. We had a sushi and sashimi combo and sashimi deluxe. Not overly heavy and it was a nice way to eat some healthy food to end the night without breaking the bank.

had a reservation here for 9 on a friday. the restaurant had a nice chill vibe it’s a good option if you are looking for something with decent sushi and a slower pace than omakase. wide variety of fish with lots of nigiri specials which i love. the maine uni was delicious and i had never had uni from maine before. what really blew me away was the green tea crème brûlée. it was technically one of the best crème brûlées i have had. the custard was incredible creamy and the top was perfectly caramelized. it was also a large portion

We lucked out moving right across the street from the Izakaya. We’ve lived across the street from the Soho location for years and it’s our favorite. The LES location did not disappoint!!! This location has even more options that are no longer on the other menu. Veggie tempura is a fave. As are the ebi shumai, the grilled avocado (a new fave!) and crispy rice. Full bar and ample space for large groups. Service was lovely and sitting at the sushi bar is always entertaining. Casual or can be a place to dress up. It’s dimly lit and decorated amazingly!

Try the pork or shrimp dumplings, with sushi and sashimi, of course.

Western wine selections and price were reasonable. Sake list was great but the prices were NYC+
