Every time I go to Blue Ribbon Sushi, I’m always surprised at how low the sushi prices are. For Japanese sushi (listen up, Tomoe fans!) the choices are always fresh and of high quality.

Their uni, fluke, yellowtail and toro, whether sushi or sashimi, are consistently buttery. The ankimono, monkfish liver, is also a favorite of mine. I like their tatakis and I alternately order from tuna belly to salmon to yellowtail tartare when I visit.
