blue ribbon sushi

has anyone been? any recommendations? this may be my one visit so hoping to choose wisely.

Delicious! Sit at the sushi bar and get what the chef recommends. I think they have an omakase, which may end up giving you sticker shock, but they also have a chef's special that has a price tag attached to it so you know ahead of time how much it will cost.

Be adventurous.

Absolutely worth it!

Blue Ribbon is one of the best in Brooklyn, for sure...!

YUM! And as sushi prices go, pretty darn reasonable.

Enjoy!

Its really good. Sometimes a bit of a wait though if you are just in the neighborhood popping in.

On the pricier end - I love Sasabune. Not cheap but definitely an experience you will remember. As New2Hood recommends - make sure to sit at the sushi bar!

Blue Ribbon sushi is a cut above and I doubt that anyone who responds will debate that point. For what it is the sushi is fairly priced. A little off topic (or a little next door) last night we celbrated my grandson's 3rd birthday at the Blue Ribbon. We were seated by 5;45 and there were very few diners at that hour. An hour later the place began to fill up. A Monday night is just the perfect time to try either of the restaurants. No bows and arrows should be aimed at me because I dare take a kid in to a top notch PS eatery. This kid knows how to behave in public. but it is not a place for kids later in the evening even on a weeknight IMO.

We had a simple meal.. Hamburgers, skirt steak, an artichoke appetizer and the kid menu offered a Paella with chicken. The poor kid had to fight us off as we asked if we could taste his food.

The service was just so special...not intrusive but attentive.

Whether you are in for Sushi or the more diverse menu next door Blue Ribbon is just terrific.

BR Sushi is really, really good and maintains the whole quality ethic of the Blue Ribbon Empire (mostly in Manhattan) - but, IMHO, the best sushi in the vicinity is Taro Sushi @ 446 Dean St (between 5th Ave & Flatbush Ave) and without question the best value.

If you're on 485 Dean you must know the place.

Atmosphere is A+

veets, I'm with you. BR is the perfect place for an early civilized dinner with well-behaved kids. The restaurant is receptive to it and has the space. And, the raw bar folks couldn't be nicer introducing the kids to the ocean creatures up front.

I think it's great for sushi lovers who want to focus on the fish itself, and not for someone who is going to order a couple of rolls. I've never thought the rolls are any better than average. The sashimi, though, is very, very good.

That is a well taken point. Once you mix all that stuff up in a roll those finer distinctions can go away.. at least for me. Recent years I have been avoiding the carbs and more drawn to order sashimi and yeah there is nothing but the fish and the level of quality at Blue Ribbon is very high.
