Blue Ribbon Sushi and Grill, originated from NYC, the borthers Bruce and Eric Bromberg each attended Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, graduating with the highest honors, and how far they have accomplished.
I was skeptical to come here because a few friends in the food and wine business told me that this place will be pricey and the food is not any better than other sushi joints in town such as Yellowtail, Nobu, Social House, or RA Sushi. I tried it anyway.
Spacious place, I called at 10:30 PM to see if they can get me in for 1, after my long business dinner, I didn't eat much because of negotiation. I was craving for some serious sushi rush.
I arrived, the hostess was graciously took good care of me, sat me down in the back sushi bar.
- Blue Ribbon Daiginjo Sake - $80 bottle - was delicious.
- Orion beer, Okinawa I love $17 ouch!
- Yasei kino mushroom miso soup with miso paste on the side $8
- Kanpachi Usuzuki $29 - a must order!
- Hirame Usuzukuri is quite nice - thinly sliced $25
- Seki Aji Sushi $9 - sushi serves 1 peace
- Hokkaido Scallop - $29
- Kindai otoro special $15 - sushi serves 1 peace
- Kindai otoro special $17 - sushi serves 1 peace - quality of Otoro is extremely fresh.
- Madai, Uni, Caviar $11 - sushi serves 1 peace - this was DELICIOUS combo!
- Wagyu tongue was fattening good $21
I got to chat up with the sushi chefs, got to see their knife skill, was quite nice. At 11:30 PM, I was satisfied with my sushi crave. Service was good and sushi was fresh and delicious,
My friends were right, this dinner for 1 was pushing me over $350 after tax and tip, and I already had some light dinner earlier. If I was hungry, I can see my eating habit would push me over $400 by myself. Again, I don't expect the average person will order the food and the drink like my choices, but still it surely a pricey place. Think for what I would pay normally for a 2 Michelin Star food in Vegas. The choice is yours.
