Frank Bruni finally gets to Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill, and he agrees with me that it is one fine restaurant. He didn't find the sushi as impressive as I did. His quote: "In terms of pure quality Blue...

Don't Look Now, But There are Sexy Fish on 58th Street For those of us “Upper West Siders” who are long time Blue Ribbon fans, the thought of the new Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill was too good to be true. Now that Bruce and Eric Bromberg’s terrific sushi spot is open, the bottom line is clear… quality Upper West dining comes with a price. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that New York restaurants come with a price tag, but unfortunately this spot has a price that will prohibit a weekly visit. That said, everything the Bromberg brothers set out to do in this store works. It is hip, fun, sexy and mostly delicious. In NY, and...

No matter what culinary genre they're tapping into, Bruce & Eric Bromberg (Blue Ribbon restaurants) seem to have a knack for drawing crowds and maintaining a devoted clientele. At Blue Ribbon Brasserie, the two manage to turn out just as first-rate a steak tartare as they do a comforting Matzoh ball soup. While many often falter and overreach when mixing cuisines, the Bromberg Bros. have built a lucrative empire off the formula. At Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill, they've integrated their two Sullivan Street concepts at 6 Columbus Hotel, just a few steps from the Time Warner Center. Though...

My brother and I supped at the Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill, the latest Blue Ribbon outpost, tucked into Six Columbus, a boutique hotel on West 58th Street. I expected a scene-driven, noisy restaurant that would make the two...

I have been to Blue Ribbon Sushi countless times over the years but we went the other night and ordered the Omikase from the chef which is a first. Always interesting to see what each chef serves you at each...

Raining on the Raw Fish Parade/ Blue Ribbon Sushi Brooklyn
I'm bound to disappoint nearly everyone with this review. I have nothing to say about the sushi. It was above average, but I have a sushi theory that will rain on the raw fish parade. I think sushi as a whole has declined rapidly in quality since it's popularization. I have fond memories of the first few years of my experience with sushi. While in college, my brother discovered an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant in Rosslyn, Va. Appetizer Plus, was a college students dream. Cheap ($12.95 for lunch) and delicious. Located in the Washington area and an all-you-can-eat establishment, today I would NEVER venture. I wouldn't patronize out of a realistic fear of gastrointestinal repurcussions. But I ate there, and by today's standards, many other "shady sushi bars" and always was more than pleased. Now, I find myself constantly disappointed and masticating too aggressively. And hence my theory...I believe that when sushi was a novelty, sushi chefs got the best fish, most tender, least fatty, because it was available. Now, that the demand is so high, even the best(Blue Ribbon Sushi Brooklyn, Nobu), have to rub elbows with the plebian sushi chefs and as a whole everyone gets lower quality sushi. I'm sorry, honestly I am. I just haven't had a satisfying sushi dinner in years.

Every time I go to Blue Ribbon Sushi, I’m always surprised at how low the sushi prices are. For Japanese sushi (listen up, Tomoe fans!) the choices are always fresh and of high quality.

I had not been to Blue Ribbon Sushi in about a year or so. The last time I went, I did not have such a great experience. It was a really warm summer day and nothing really sat right with me. But, I returned twice this past week.
