Blue Ribbon Sushi & Sake

Blue Ribbon Sushi & Sake is the newest member of the Blue ribbon Sushi family. Guided by the team at the original Blue Ribbon Sushi which opened on Sullivan Street in 1995, Blue Ribbon Sushi now comes to Downing Street with its exuberance for Japanese culinary tradition and compassionate approach to life. 

Blue Ribbon Sushi & Sake is an intimate 12 seat sushi restaurant in the West Village by the founders, team and chefs of Blue Ribbon Sushi.

Deeply rooted in Japanese tradition and the purity of the ingredient, the cuisine at Blue Ribbon Sushi & Sake is perfectly suited to the intimate chef to patron experience. Whether seated at the sushi bar or a cozy booth, an exquisite Japanese sushi and sake experience awaits.

Our approach is not fussy but rather delicious and playful.

Blue Ribbon Sushi & Sake was conceived and built by the team at Blue RIbbon Sushi 119 Sullivan Street as an extension for their love for Toshi Ueki and Japanese culture and cuisine and nearly every detail was executed by the people that loved him most.
