I don’t know why this is place is not packed . The food is excellent & the service is very attentive & nice & the price point is so reasonable compared to comparable places . The decor is the one thing I can think of . It’s kind of like a generic hotel restaurant so it definitely does not give a “ cool fun” vibe . It’s otherwise great !

Always delicious at Blue Ribbon Sushi. I think above all else I’m blown away by the hospitality. When you get a chance to visit, try the Ka cocktail (if you can handle slight spice in a marg), the CRISPY TUNA RICE, and the spicy crab roll - DIVINE!

The food was great but took so long for us to get it and they weren’t exactly busy. Had to ask our waitress several times about it and it seemed like she had forgotten to put the order in the first time.
