The food was delicious. The cauliflower tempura was delicious and the sushi was fresh. Our server was very nice and attentive. It was not too loud where you cannot have a conversation. I would definitely come back here again.

Incredibly amazing high quality service, food, drinks, and atmosphere. I'd suggest turning down slightly the music but even the choice of music playing was fabulous. Thank you for the overall amazing experience.

Love the Crispy Rice and Shrimp Tempura. Prime Zabutan steak was not as good as the last time we were there. Sushi was delish. Drinks very good. Server was too pushy trying to get our bill higher and higher, then no where to be found when she knew we were not going to order more. Also the "Main Entree" choices very limited to 2 steaks, 1 salmon and 1 chicken choice.

An AMAZING experience. Sat at the sushi bar and watched the preparation. Some of the best sushi I’ve had. Service was exceptional. Pricey but really well worth it. The crispy rice was the best! Can’t wait to go back.

The experience in Blue ribbon sushi was amazing. The food quality was superb, everything was fresh. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you are transported to a restaurant in Tokyo! The sashimi was delicious and the chocolate cake amazing as well! I will definitely be going back.

Blue Ribbon is a hip, lively and high quality sushi restaurant. From the minute you walk in the door, the hosts and servers are welcoming and attentive. The sushi and other offerings are excellent. I am a long time patron of Blue Ribbon in NYC near Columbus Circle and am so glad there is a Boston location.

I was informed that $25 parking will be validated but didn’t happen. Way too loud inside and dinner for 3 (9 nigiris and a few rolls and a glass of wine) was $300. Not coming back again.

It was a bit pricey but you can tell from the quality of the food, the products aren't cheap frozen foods. We didn't know who our server was as we had three different people try to help, which seems nice, but really confuses the who normal service experience. Staff were nice but value for what your receive isn't the best, especially considering it's right by the ocean.

Restaurant has good ambiance. Quality of ingredients was high. Sushi preparation was fantastic. Grilled foods were under salted. Food came out as it was made without consideration for the course or whether someone was still eating. Mains were not timed and some people finished their meal while others were still waiting for theirs. Wait staff was very polite but the waiter we started with left mid-meal and our new waiter didn't take over without my intervention. Sushi was expensive ($8-$15 per piece). Cocktails were tasty and strong. Would go back if I was alone, but not with a group.

Tasty af. Mad gas pack food would totally go here if u want some good fresh fish. Rice and seaweed are normal everything is super good tho. Get the crispy rice and chicken wings. The sushi sashimi platter is also fire if you wanna try a lot of different things. The filet was also gaaaaas. The A5 isn’t worth it tho. Id recommend other places for their A5 over blue ribbon. Still a great spot tho.

When my fiancé asked, “what do you want to do for dinner tonight?” I knew that making plans to Blue Ribbon Sushi was the right move all along. Flynn is extraordinary and truly went above our expectations in service and menu recommendations. You knocked it out of the park, Flynn and we’ll be coming back!

Blue Ribbon Sushi is normally excellent, but on a busy Friday night - totally different. They just don’t have enough staff. The kitchen could not keep up. Our orders were delayed and some items never came. Our waitress tried her best, but she had an impossible task. We’ll avoid Blue Ribbon on Friday and Saturday nights.
