Blue Ribbon Sushi

Editorial Review

Nocturnal, superb, high-impact zen dining inside subterranean, minimal space. Tongue fatty tuna and spider rolls in a sakeholic daze. Ideal spot to take your high-maintenance, Fendi-rocking, half-Japanese, half-indigenous South American girlfriendo. Combination of topnotch food and no-reservations policy makes for long waits. Empire now extends to Brooklyn, though original still can’t be beat. Late nights are prime, nothing tastes better at 1am than a lobster caviar roll.
