The Take

Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill delivers excellent raw fish when you order straight sashimi or nigiri. Everything else on the menu pushes tempura and fried chicken that rely on cheap seed oils and Americanized flair from chain sprawl.

The Verdict

Stick to the raw fish and the place earns its keep. Chain additions turn it into the usual tempura bait-and-switch.

Order the sashimi/nigiri platter with soy and wasabi, request ginger-orange olive oil sauce on the side.

Common Questions

Is Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill healthy?

No. Sashimi and nigiri deliver clean protein but tempura rolls and fried chicken load up seed oils and fried extras.

What should you avoid at Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill?

Skip all tempura rolls, ebi tempura, and the fried chicken. Those items default to seed oils and chain-style frying.

Does Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill list olive oil sauces?

Yes on select menus. Request the ginger-orange olive oil sauce on the side to pair with sashimi or nigiri.
