Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill

Definitely wouldn’t wanna eat here again. The sushi was not good at all. And break the bank will eating bad sushi.
Do yourself a favor eat at the other restaurants or drive off the strip!

Order a Asian pear salad and they tried to pawn of mushrooms as Asian pears. Sushi was cut poorly and the overall taste was very gross. Very unhappy that I wasted a dinner on this place with so many good food choices in Las Vegas. No Bueno!

I did not enjoy my sushi dinner here. Their sushi was poorly cut. The toro was not fresh and when i asked for a salmon belly cut i received a regular mid bod cut. We spent about $ 1,000.00 on dinner here between 4 people. And for that amount you’d think we really enjoyed our meal…
I will say that their steak is delicious and perhaps this is better off a steak restaurant.

Another five star experience here. Food is ahh-​mazing. Sashimi is fresh and I give it an A for presentation. Pork Shumai is incredible. I ordered the Maki sushi number 2 with the yellowtail and tuna. Dessert. .don’t bother with anything other than the Ginger Bread pudding. It’s the best thing on the menu. Can I just live and eat here every day?

I had the best sushi I ever had in my life here. We got the chef’s platter (sorry, I forget the proper Japanese name) and what came out was a masterpiece. See pic below. The service was really good too, very attentive and respectful.

Blue Ribbon is more of a Hollywood, «American-​style» kind of sushi place but turned out to be a fantastic meal. Total damage before alcohol, tax, and tip was about $ 220/​person. Yes, that’s going overboard and there’s no need to spend that much here. They do have some nice finds here, including A5 Wagyu (for nigiri) and various kinds of snapper. We ordered just about every fish on the menu and I got to try about 90% of the nigiri menu.
Good selection of sake across a variety of price points. The weakness though is that the server wasn’t too helpful (or informed) about the sake choices. «Do you want dry or sweet?» was more or less the only criteria she offered.
Atmosphere: very «Cosmopolitan» as in sexy with subdued lighting (may have to bust out that smartphone of yours to use as a flight light).
Servers and bussers here are very visible and helpful, which is usually a welcome surprise on the Strip.
I couldn’t find a single complaint about the nigiri. Every piece, from the shira ebi (white baby shrimp) to the uni (sea urchin) to the various kinds of rock fish, were all very tasty and satisfying.

Fried chicken in a Japanese restaurant!?! I’d heard the rumors back in New York, but my travels to Las Vegas found me delirious with the sweet, juicy fried chicken between my lips! I started out with a negari of abacore and octopus, which were above par, and then the Japanese yardbird arrived. A hard crust batter encased the most delish chicken ever. Most, with an undisclosed flavor I can’t even describe. So overcome, I hosted the sushi crew to enjoy a round of Japanese beer!
So good, I ordered some to go.

We were craving sushi and decided to stop in for an early dinner the other night. This was my second time here and the food is just as good as it was the first time. For some reason, I can never have dinner at a Japanese restaurant without ordering a Lychee martini. (Fun fact j/​k) Anyway, on to the food…
We started off with the sushi omakase. It was buttery and melted in your mouth with how fresh it was. We also ordered the miso cod, shumai, ebi shumai, California king crab roll, and of course the famous fried chicken. I know… Fried chicken at a sushi place? But seriously, hands down it is the best fried chicken ever. Prices are a little on the high end since everything is ala carte, but the food is worth it. Service was exceptional and I know I’ll be back.
Try it out! You won’t be disappointed.

In form of haiku.
Overpriced sushi.
It was less mmm and more meh.
My waiter was hot.

We LOVED this gem! The selection of sushi and dishes make my mouth water as I type.
The service: wow guys 5 stars all the way! From the sever to the sushi chef’s it was on point!
Food: we ate so much! We couldn’t help but to keep ordering food, and they never failed to deliver exceptional taste.
I wish I could go back, but when in Vegas I will definitely visit you.
Thank you for an amazing dinner.

Bromberg Bros. aka Blue Ribbon Restaurants,
The Bromberg brothers, Bruce and Eric opened the original Blue Ribbon in 1992 and had a goal to create American Comfort food blended with their French expertise. Today, Blue Ribbon has 11 restaurants including Sushi, baked goods and tapas. These Brothers have always specialized in comfort food but now have ventured out with Japanese Sushi where they partnered up with sushi expert Toshi Ueki, to create a menu of some very high quality sushi and other authentic Japanese dishes.
Located in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. The décor has modern accents, The dining room is dimly lit and features private booths creating a warm and intimate ambiance.
We started with some cocktails, a Green Tea Martini and Lagavulin 16 Scotch Whiskey. The Green Tea Martini was strong but had that green tea after taste. It was quite good. My Lagavulin Scotch was very strong and tasted like cloves which i wasn’t a huge fun of but it was my first time trying that Whiskey.
We looked over the menu and because of the high quality sushi that is flown in daily from the Atlanta & Pacific Oceans the prices are very high. The sushi is sold by the piece which was disappointing because mostly Sushi Restaurant sell them by 2 pieces. We decided to start out off with (*Sushi Deluxe 10 Pieces & 1 Roll) [$ 46.00] which seem the most bang for our buck. The Deluxe Sushi was Omakase which means Chef’s Choice. I don’t recall which sushi we were given but everything was very fresh. The way you can tell if the fish is fresh is by the texture. If it’s silky smooth in your mouth and has a distinct flavor its really fresh. We ending up ordering another Sushi Deluxe because the flavors were so outstanding and delicious.
There was another item on the menu that caught my eye which was Waygu Sushi which was the best rare beef i have ever eaten. I wanted to order more but it was very expensive.
The service was outstanding. I forget our servers name but he is Filipino. He was very professional and explain the menu and helped us get them most value without breaking the bank. We thoroughly enjoy the service, atmosphere and delicious Sushi Diner. I would recommend this place to someone who really has an appreciation for high quality sushi.
Thanks for reading.

The sushi here was great but quite expensive compared to what you get at other high level sushi restaurants. I ordered the spicy tuna crispy rice without the black caviar because I hate caviar (yes i know) and was still charged $ 36 which to me is crazy because in other restaurants it would be no more than $ 20 for that dish. So I dont rave to much about restaurants that are strict on substitutions, should be able to eat it the way I like it. The service was good and fast and we were seated quickly. I dont mind spending a lot on sushi but next time I want to spend that amount I’d rather go to Nobu.

Hands down the worst restaurant experience and food I have ever had. Two of us of our party of 14 showed up 10 minutes early after making reservations, the place was empty. We sat at the tables in the bar area and ordered drinks. While talking we were interrupted by the hostess who rudely told us those tables were reserved and we had to move. I mentioned we were waiting on the rest of the party which was arriving in 5 minutes, as well as pointed out that all the tables at the bar were empty and we would only be a minute. Immediately her voice changed and with some major attitude told us, «fine you can sit here». The reviews on this place aren’t good for many reasons the people are rude and the food is not just bad, it’s horrible.
First of all hire and train people who aren’t arrogant and rude. The food was horrible. We ordered a huge selection and everyone at the table was extremely disspointed. Food was tasteless and the overpriced wings were burned and oily. It’s like fast food fusion in a bad mall only with a few extra zeros added to the bill, the only difference is even fast food is better than this place. I wish we could leave this place negative stars because with the exception of our waiter who was friendly and polite this place was a total joke. A total shame.

I’ve been to Cosmopolitan Hotel few times and honestly did not plan to try Blue ribbon because it seems to cater to more Americanized crowd. My friend wanted to try here and I was amazed how good and fresh the sushi selection it has to offer.
I generally won’t order sushi rolls, because the sauces usually mask the taste of the not-​so fresh fish. However, this place is legit! We had two rolls and it wasn’t drenched in sauce, but very well– balance with rice and fresh fish. The rolls were at least $ 20 each, but very enjoyable.
Chef’s selection — Hokkaido style handroll with UNI, TORO, IKURA wrapped in shiso leaf. OMG this $ 21 handroll is the best ever! I enjoyed every bite of it!
Wagyu nigiri and hamachi nigiri were very fresh and delicious. The wagyu was seared and melted in my mouth. Price tag per piece is at least $ 10, but i enjoyed every bite of it.
Oxtail fried rice was served in a hot claypot. It was tasty and meaty, but i think it’s a bit oily. I dont recommend ordering if there’s only 2 people. The portion is quite generous.
I would like to come back for more of chef’s selection and I heard they open quite late at night!

I have been to this place at least 10 times and only order the fried chicken ! Yes fried chicken at a sushi place. Best fried chicken on earth with honey wasabi dipping sauce.
8 time out of ten if you go early you can be seated right away or with short wait.
Food and drinks are spectacular. Most nights service is good but you can tell most staff cater towards the «higher end «patron vs. the regular joe (such as myself).

This restaurant really has it going!
Not only is it situated in the Cosmopolitan Hotel but, it’s created a unique entrance that really makes it stand out from the other restaurants surrounding it. With a variety of seating arrangements it has a dim, classy feel to it but, everyone is super down to earth and they were playing Salsa music when we arrived! Sushi restaurant playing salsa music that was a first for me.
Talk about over the top hospitality. They must have rotating floor managers aside from your waiter. We were asked by three different people if we needed anything, like nothing I’ve ever seen! Hospitality reached another level.
Let’s talk about the food (prices were not bad, but on the expensive side) they definitely had dishes that were «different». We wanted to try some of those and did. The Duck was amazing! Honestly, everything tasted great. There were no complaints on that end at all. You can see that the food was fresh and prepped right in front of you.
Definitely a nice romantic dinner in the cosmopolitan this is the place to be.

Overpriced and somewhat of a ripoff for what you’re actually getting, but the service is excellent and they accommodated our group of 13 (for my friend’s bachelorette party) well. And they even brought out a birthday pastry and lit candle for the bachelorette (also the birthday girl) at the end of our meal.
We were staying at the Cosmopolitan hotel during the weekend of the pool fire there and we got a $ 600 voucher between our 3 rooms, so we used the voucher to cover our meal here. It did cover our meal but we weren’t told until the next day when we were checking out that our voucher would not cover our tip, as we were led to believe. No one at the restaurant told us otherwise. That was a bit deceptive.
The food itself was so-​so. It was overpriced, came in very small portions, and was not the most fresh (considering how much it cost). I’ve had better sushi elsewhere that hasn’t been that overpriced. Maybe if I visited on date night with my fiancé it would make more sense because we could order a sushi boat and be full. But split 13 ways, that meal did not make sense. I shared my order with 2 other people — we ordered the Braised Short Rib (tasty and melted in your mouth but definitely too small of a portion), the Tuna Tataki (definitely the highlight for me, but again too small a portion), and the Salmon appetizer (not the most fresh I’ve tasted). Those 3 things came out to $ 90 and were hardly filling!
I would likely skip Blue Ribbon in the future. I’m willing to dish out a pretty penny for good food, but only if I’m going to get my money’s worth. I didn’t feel like we did at Blue Ribbon.

This was our first time getting
Sushi in Vegas and we chose Blue Ribbon due to their convenient location as we were staying in The Cosmopolitan. Long story short, we will definitely be back! This place is absolutely amazing. Following suit with the upscale modern atmosphere of The Cosmopolitan, Blue Ribbon Sushi offers an awesome atmosphere that makes you want to stay for a while, have some drinks, and hang out. But then the food, wow. We went with the sushi and sashimi platter and it was absolutely amazing. The freshest fish, expertly prepared with awesome presentation. We also tried several
Individual rolls, I highly recommend the yellowtail, tuna, salmon roll, it is a perfect combo of all of the favorites.
Blue Ribbon is a must try restaurant, from service and selection, to atmosphere and quality, this place hits the mark. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

By far one of the best sit down meals I’ve had in a while. This place is definitely ranked in my top 5 restaurants.
It’s a chefs dining experience being able to eat here. We didn’t penny pinch our selections at all. The wagyu beef with shiitaki mushrooms and truffle infused salt was to die for. Everything on their menu looks delicious and I wish I could have ordered at least every time twice. If you’re in Las Vegas and you want to eat at a great Sushi restaurant this is your place hands down.

I want to start on the good notes,
Service here is 5 stars hands down. Waited on by the loveliest of ladies and greeted by the sushi chefs coming in and out was a pleasure. Everyone was friendly and attentive to our needs. There’s vegas hospitality for you at it’s best.
Décor and ambiance: 4 stars. Dimly lit this place is perfect for a romantic dinner. The bar also looked like fun, on a Tuesday it was surprising to see this place filled. Made my expectations set higher then it should have been.
Here’s were everything comes full circle and hopefully reflects my 3 star review.
Food: 2 – 3 stars. Again the pricing here is as if your eating at a 5 star restaurant based of it name etc. The price in this case does not reflect on the food. Don’t get me wrong the quality of the sushi was clearly great but at the same time the blandness of the dishes with the price made this an instant dislike… the rainbow roll was fresh but again a dish that could easily be forgotten, same with the miso soup– totally bland!
The recommendations on dishes were saddening. If the people that work here can’t suggest a good dish then that’s a sign it’s a reflection on the food. The suggested tuna appetizer was Boring with a capital B! The special «fried chicken» was totally tasteless and the chicken wasn’t great quality either we were super disappointed.
The food really comes down to being 2 stars in my books, shows that a fancy name and high price tab will fool you into thinking this food is good. Wanted to be thoughtful of the service which is why I’d even bump it up to 3 stars.
