Impeccable service. Tasty sushi. Particularly enjoyed the Kanpachi. Sake was exactly right too. For two gals catching up it was perfect.
I decided on the Omakase. Head Chef Tetsu Yagi steered me well. The culinary journey was outstanding.
Intimate restaurant. Celebrated my son's birthday with delicious omakase and delicious sake recommended by the server. Highly recommended.
A great experience. Great staff, great on omakase chef, really cool vibe in a small setting.
We were lucky enough to sit at the counter with Chef Karma behind it and have returned as often as possible since! The omakase is excellent—delicious, inventive, enlightening—we've loved everything we've had the opportunity to enjoy. The service is attentive, relaxed, and fun. The space is really delightful as it is so intimate and cozy, but still feels special. We've come to think of it as “our” spot and can't wait to come back. Thank you Chef Karma, Lady, and everyone who has a hand in what you're creating.
The sushi is really fresh and beautifully prepared. Every bite was a delight. Highly recommend

What it is: Intimate dinning -- the restaurant seats about 12. The food is legit. Our waitress, was very well informed about the food and made excellent suggestions. There are few places that provide an intimate setting + excellent food and service. I plan to come back.
I have been to other Blue Ribbon locations over the many years but this was the first time at this Sushi and Sake format. The place is tiny - 10 seats at the counter and two 2-tops. But the ambience is comfortable, quiet and attractive. The service was friendly and excellent. The one waiter and the three sushi masters were all welcoming and helpful. The sushi and sashimi quality were the usual Blue Ribbon top of the line. The sushi platter had more interesting variety than the sashimi platter, although both were excellent, so if you order that way you should ask what exactly is included. The prices are not out of line for high quality sushi. I will definitely return and probably try the omakase option.
Had an amazing omakase experience! The staff is so friendly and nice and the service was exceptional
Japanese hospitality at its best. With only 12 seating areas this beautiful restaurant can make you feel welcomed and extremely well taken care of. We were lucky to have chef Tetsu Yagi back from Kyoto and ready to impress us with a beautiful feast. Definitely dive into the Omakase experience and trust your culinary journey to chef Yagi. Thank you for a wonderful night and amazing food experience and memorable food bites.

My wife and I did the omakase at Blue Ribbon Sushi & Sake and had a wonderful experience. Everyone there was super attentive and personable, and the food was amazing. Will definitely be going back in the future for special occasions.
The reputation seemed too good to be true until I discovered it was justified. The restaurant team impressed us completely. Great cuisine and professional waiters left us completely satisfied. I was genuinely surprised by how good this spot is. I feel intense devotion to this spot.
