| - I had a wonderful experience at Blue Ribbon! I came with my friend and I had recently been to their NYC location which was a bit underwhelming. I didn't have high expectations but I was blown away!
I got the yuzu hi to drink and it was just tart and fruity enough without being overwhelming. It was delicious and I may have had a few. For dinner, we chose the omakase which was $100. Well, it's actually quite affordable because it is a ton of food! We ordered a bit more after eating the omakase but for most couples, just that would have been enough.
I requested no uni because I do not care for it. We got a nice mix of fish, from otoro to yellowtail, amberjack, fish roe, jellyfish. Basically a bit of everything. It was supremely fresh and the presentation was outstanding. We got more sashimi afterwards, some salmon, crab, scallop. That was also delicious.
The server was very helpful and he wasn't trying to oversell us which was appreciated because I was going to order more food right off the bat. I cannot speak for the rolls but the sashimi and nigiri is some of the best I've had. Blue Ribbon is far superior to Nobu, imo and much more affordable.
