| - The last day of Restaurant Week Las Vegas, we decided to visit Blue Ribbon Sushi, somewhere we've never been. From the moment we walked in till the end of the meal, everything was very pleasant. Everyone was smiling and seemed like they really enjoyed being there. The ambience was lively and all the guests seemed like they were all having a good time. Definitely a hip place for date night or a group event.
We ordered from the Restaurant Week menu and sure there was sushi, miso soup as part of the first course but there was short ribs AND fried chicken. Say what?!?! Fried chicken at a sushi joint? YUP! Do it, it was awesome! You'd think ordering fried chicken at a sushi joint is like picking up sushi at a gas station, but that is so far from it. The chicken was awesome. The Asian inspired seasoning accompanied by the honey wasabi something or another sauce made it an awesome interpretation of fried chicken. A definite MUST HAVE. DO IT!
We opted for the add on: king crab leg truffled fried rice. We loved it. Now a days, truffle is the 'in' thing but this dish was beautiful made. The truffle was not over powering and the king crab was quite generous. Everything was mixed table side, which made for a wonderful presentation and kept us salivating.
Our dinner ended with our last course: dessert. The portions during Restaurant Week was perfect. We were already full but when two beautifully presented desserts laid right in front you, you have no choice but to try it, just a bite. The ginger bread pudding was delightful and the chocolate dessert most definitely satisfied our sweet tooth.
The service was very nice. Everyone we came across was engaging and did something to contribute to a very pleasant and wonderful experience. Thank You Blue Ribbon Sushi, we'll be back for another date night!
