Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill - Columbus Circle

We had a fantastic meal. All dishes were delicious, they manage to make a simple green salad exquisite with a dressing that is fantastic. The nigiri melts in your mouth, the quality of the fish is incredible. The atmosphere is cool but welcoming and accommodating to families too. I would highly recommend this place.

My dinner group and I had such a great time at this place. It was a last-minute decision to go and we didn’t even look at the place before we went inside but it looks nice from the outside and once we got in it we saw that there was a large dining area but also cozy how is sitting with booths available. Which I thought was really interesting. The food was phenomenal and overall it was such a great find and a surprising one at that. I’m sure other people might’ve known about this place that we were so hungry after coming back from the Met and it was open late and that was the reason why we went in but it definitely made for a highlight of the evening. So great such a good cocktails and drinks as well. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Honestly I picked this restaurant so fast when I searched up best sushi near me not even thinking it’ll be that great. My boyfriend and I had the best date night. I recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a relaxed ambiance and great sushi ! Staff is amazing and observant. We enjoyed everything!! This place is a hidden gem!🙌🏾👌🏾

Nice location near Columbus circle. Excellent albeit expensive lunch. This place has an excellent menu of sushi and many cooked
Asian eats. The oxtail friend rice and the fried chicken are the signature dishes. Great staff se well.

great diverse menu (for non-sushi lovers), excellent service. Covid vaccine checks were consistent!

Crispy rice - one of the best I’ve had! Fish was very very fresh and the rice was perfectly crispy
Sake tartar (salmon tartar) - excellent - fish was fresh
Edamame - traditional , same as you’d get at a normal sushi spot
Lamb chops - perfectly cooked, well flavored. It sat atop of sweet potato mashed which I enjoyed!
Tiger shrimp tempura - good size shrimp, good breading, perfectly fried
Blue ribbon chicken wings - super yummy. If you don’t get this as an entree, worth getting an app size
Wild Mushroom Roast - very good, flavorful. Mushrooms aren’t my fav but they were a hit with the rest of the table!
Oxtail Miso - very very good, flavorful broth. Didn’t get a chance to try the oxtail ramen, but suspect it’s delicious
