    since us girls love jap cusine and stayed at the Cosmo, naturally we had to try this place. It's right outside of Marquee on the top floor so if that's where you are headed... we ordered a bunch of rolls, wagyu beef with a lovely presentation...sadly, it had no taste =[ the beef stew fried rice was great though. sashimi is ordered in singular slices. Our cocktails were strong enough but not over bearing. our bill came out to $70 per person times four. it's not bad considering it's Vegas/Japan food and on a Saturday night. Oh yah, the place is very savvy/contemporary and dark.

    First and foremost the atmosphere here is welcoming, the little chant they have when you enter the main dining room is a very nice touch to the clean very well done dining room. Service was amazing, they really accommodate to food allergies and preferences. The food mainly the sushi (i had nigiri, sashimi and a maki roll) were fresh and very good. For the sashimi it was pretty good not much to say however, the nigiri was different. The fish was warm due to the very very good rice, not an optimal temperature but very close. The tuna had a nice flavor and kinda melted in your mouth, salmon had a fresh taste and provided a small sensation i cant quite describe but it was nice to have. I had fluke and yellowtail as well as 2 more fish i cannot recall but they were great as well. The soy sauce was aged with a strong smooth taste even though its low sodium. Overall a great restaurant to eat at, however, watch for any neighbors that may disrupt you or make you lose your appetite.

    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.

    I love sushi and sashimi and really wanted to like Blue Ribbon but it just wasn't up to snuff. The sashimi didn't taste fresh and the sushi was lacking in flavor. We got two chef's choice platters with the best sushi and sashimi they had and it was just OK. Where they hit it out of the park was with their bone marrow, wagyu beef with truffled salt and shiitake mushrooms and fried chicken; all were excellent. The next time I'm in Vegas I will specifically go back for them. Based on the positive reviews of other users and the good reputation Blue Ribbon restaurants have around the country, though, I'll try their sushi and sashimi again. It's possible that I just got them on a bad day.

    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.

    Right when you go in, greeted by a loud "aShouy!" (Not really sure what that means) I tried many sushi places in Vegas and I think this one is definitely up there. My go to's are the niji and dragon rolls. For miso soup, they give you miso paste for you to insert. Pretty legit. Surprisingly they also have great fried chicken. Nom Nom Nom

    Mehhh. I feel like this place is extremely overpriced for what it is. A girl friend and I decided to try this place out. It's located on the third floor of the Cosmo and we sat at the sushi bar. The men behind the sushi bar were slightly awkward. I give them efforts to try to entertain us and be social with us, but they'd interrupt our conversation at times. :/ COSMOPOLITAN PLATTER: This was the Chef's daily sushi and sashimi for one. There was uni in it and everything was fresh. Presentation was also very nicely done. My friend and I decided to share it because we weren't entirely hungry. Even if I was eating the dish by myself I would totally still be hungry. And it costs $85. Overall, this restaurant seems descent. To me, I just think you're better off going elsewhere where you pay less and still get the same quality.

    I was craving for something really filling like rice, so I ordered the unfried rice (which the waitress recommended the vegetables fried rice for more flavor). My friend had ordered the oxtail fried rice and although I'm not a fan of oxtail, I had a spoonful and it was pretty flavorful! My vegetable fried rice was flavorful as well and had strips of fried egg on top. I had asked a waiter for some hot sauce and he was kind enough to bring me both sriracha and the hot sauce that is given to those who order the oxtail fried rice. The hot sauces definitely made the fried rice taste a lot better. I think for what I ordered $25 was definitely too pricey. But I guess you definitely pay for the ambiance and the fact that you are in Vegas. The decor was definitely nice and the establishment was very clean as well. I would come back to this restaurant, but I think I definitely need to order a sushi item instead!

  • Rod K.

    The Blue Ribbon seemed like the perfect choice for Shannon's birthday dinner place because I could get my sushi fix while the menu had several other Japanese & American options. The food and the service was just mediocre. When a restaurant is that beautiful and located in the Cosmopolitan, you kind of expect a great experience. It was just underwhelming. Shannon barely touched his food, but he would never send anything back. He mentioned that he didn't like it, but the server didn't seem to care. My sushi was super small and I hate that. (check out the pics) I ordered Mackerel and what came clearly wasn't Mackerel. When I gently mentioned it to the server, he wanted to argue about it. You think he'd just offer me something else. For the record, Shannon wasn't as critical as I was on the Blue Ribbon.

    My boyfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here last night. Service was great, love the ambience and the food was delicious! Recommend the pork shumai, sushi of course and pork ribs. We ended dinner with green tea ice cream. Thank you for making our date night a great one!

    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. Decor 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.

    Sat at the bar, enjoyed oxtail fried rice, o-toro and salmon sushi. That oxtail fried rice was the truth, beautiful umami flavor, that alone was worth a second visit. Chris and Raul are excellent and attentive bartenders- they have their work cut out for them and they don't disappoint. These guys are basically doing the work of 4 guys on a slow night. Unreal. Thanks to all who made this an experience worth coming back for

    Decided to come here randomly. Mostly because we all love sushi and we happen to be staying at the Cosmopolitan hotel. The service was simply AMAZING. The sushi chef for the evening were great! I seriously can't even put to words how impressed I was coming here. yelp.com/biz_photos/blue… And of course, you always need some sake when eating sushi ;) yelp.com/biz_photos/blue… The Grub. [[ OMAKASE SASHIMI ]] yelp.com/biz_photos/blue… [[ OMAKASE NIGIRI ]] yelp.com/biz_photos/blue… I highly highly recommend this restaurant if you like sushi and you are in the area.

    It was 1:30am and we had a comp to use before leaving at 9:00am. What better way to spend your last night in Vegas than splurging on Sushi and Saki?!? We decided to check out Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill since they were open late and sushi and saki seemed appropriate for a fancy snack and buzz before bed. We ordered the tempura rock shrimp appetizer ($19), spider roll ($20), braised short rib ($28) and bottle of cold Rock Saki ($45). I don't know why I've never been to a sushi place in Vegas but I'm glad we went and really enjoyed most everything we selected. The tempura rock shrimp was delicious. I loved that the outside was lightly breaded and crispy and the shrimp were crunchy. I'm not a fan of wasabi but I actually found myself dipping my shrimp in the wasabi mayo bite after. There were probably about 13-15 bite sized shrimp. The spider roll came in 6 pieces with wasabi and ginger. The roll was okay and kind of small but presentation was nice. To me it didn't have much flavor. There should have been more too it. The braised short rib was the highlight of the night. It was tender, flavorful and paired well with a grilled onion and smooth creamy celery root purée with teriyaki truffle that looked like mashed potato. At the beginning of dinner my husband said he wasn't that hungry but he devoured the majority or the dish within minutes! Lastly the saki was a nice addition to out meal. I've never really sipped saki with my sushi (Its always been about saki bombs, lol). The Rock Saki was smooth, sweet and easy to drink. I've become a fan and look forward to enjoying it with many more meals in the future, especially if we visit Blue Ribbon again. Blue Ribbon Sushi and Grill is small and has a dimmed light, intimate ambiance. Our server did a great job accommodating us. He was friendly, made good recommendations, checked on us often and kept our saki cups full. Overall we had a great late night experience. Next time were staying at Cosmo we'll be back.

    Wow, I can't believe the low ratings! From what I've read, most of the lower ratings are due to the prices. I mean... Isn't that kind of expected in Vegas? Nothing is cheap in Vegas, except maybe a low end hooker. Not that I would know. I digress. Anyway, I don't use this word often, but... This place was amazing. Fresh, unique drinks; a huge assortment of fresh sashimi, and rolls made with fancy ingredients. We honestly couldn't decide what to get, so we ultimately decided on a sashimi/roll platter, upon recommendation of the waiter. Man, it did NOT disappoint! Every cut of fish was so fresh and flavorful, each piece just melted in your mouth. You could tell that you were eating high quality cuts of fish. I think it's safe to say that we are sushi connoisseurs... And with that said, this place rated far and beyond what we have previously considered to be "the best we've ever had". I feel like this is definitely a hidden gem, considering out of all the places we tried to go eat on Valentine's Day, this place got us in without a wait time. This is a definite staple next time we're in Vegas. So, after you slurp down your $12 novelty margarita from a slushy machine, please complain about how expensive exceptional quality sushi is. It's true what they say, you get what you pay for.

    First we tried a plate of amberjack, big eye tuna, and seared ahi. Then a plate of grilled octopus. I learned the octopus is special from Chile. Both plates beautiful and taste fantastic. I used to hate octopus, no more! Having tried the wings at the Los Angeles Blue Ribbon I knew what to expect. Excellent! If your not a fish lover you have to try it. The 8 wings for about $20 will fill you up if your on a budget and make a believer out of you. We also tried a $14 chef special that consisted of smoe small pork ribs with some type of glaze that was to die for on top of a slaw that was over the top. We had tonic water and lime wich matched our meal perfectly. Not sure what brand they use but it taste better than other places for some reason. I have been reading about the bread pudding so we had to try it with a cup of coffee. Made fresh to order with olive bread and a scoop of I think green tea ice cream. The coffee is really good and the dessert was every bit as good as yelpers said. The Mrs and I almost went to fisticuffs over the last bite. I saw at least four sushi chefs at two sushi stations and at 3 hostesses. We met the head chef Fernando while visiting Los Angeles who came to help with the opening. Highly skilled and the plating is nothing short of art work for the hot dishes and sushi alike. The service is impeccable and you can tell they hire the right people here to make your visit an expierence you wont forget. The ambiance and design is most impressive, a bit dark although my eyes adjusted fine after sitting for a while. The architect who designed this place should be featured in a magazine. Our waitress Allison teamed with a manager named Greg both served us and others pitched in. The service is fantastic. Both have worked in New York at Blue Rigbon and have been with the resturant at least five years. After our meal I promised I would write a great review. Well deserved. As a small business owner I noticed something special about the Blue Ribbon Sushi organizational management I think other establishments can learn from. If I owned or managegaed a resturant, I would make several visits, observe, ask a lot of questions and take notes. Fabulous expierence!

    They have the most beautiful combination between Arts and Freshness of the Sashimi. The place is romantic, service is world class, sake is great, what can you expect more?

  • Nicole S.

    I have to say this place was solid. It was actually so good that we went 2 nights In a row. The sushi was extremely fresh, the pork fried rice was delicious and almost melted in your mouth, the salad was very refreshing with a great flavored dressing, and the fried chicken (wings) were really good as well. Service was impeccable. I would definitely recommend this place and will be going to the one in LA now.

  • Deejay A.

    $18.50 for a piece of sashimi (O-toro) should be a crime. The quality was at bottom half of all toro's I've eaten in my career. Service was snooty the stuck up waittress refused to ask kitchen for a special request for O-yako-don which they've done for me before.

  • Myann T.

    Blue ribbons style is very traditional. Which is what I love. I'm not always a big fan of fusion food. I love their ambiance but sometimes it's dark to take pictures lol. I always get their toshi's choice and their oxtail fried rice !! They're customer service is phenomenal ! And every worker is there for you, not just your server. The times I've been there, I had Bobby, Vercon, Greg, Rodel, Adam, and crystal serve or help me out on my orders. The hostesses I've encountered Symone, Ronnie, and Anna are very informative and nice :) I definitely recommend this place. It may get hefty on the wallet but well worth it :)

  • C K.

    This place has very good, fresh sushi that is comparable to the best place in Los Angeles and the marvel is that they're serving it in the middle of a desert! Just for that, they should get 5 stars. This is my second time here and I will admit, the second time I wasn't as impressed as my first but it was still great overall. We had the omakase, half oxtail fried rice, beef tongue, and some sashimi and rolls. The fish was freaking fresh and just awesome as was the tongue! It's pricy but really worth it. Spend your money in Vegas on this food instead of in the casino! I'm looking forward to the one they're opening in Los Angeles and will always want to go to this place whenever in Vegas.

    This restaurant is located on the 3rd Fl of the Cosmo in the Eastside Tower. There's "patio" seating where you can watch people walk by but it's still inside the casino. Lighting is very dim inside so fairly intimate. Our Order: Cosmopolitan Platter: ($85) Chef's Daily Sushi & Sashimi for 1 Toshi's Choice: ($100) Omakase Oxtail Fried Rice: ($28.50) Daikon, Shiitake & Bone Marrow We were seated in the back so we were able to watch the chefs prepare the dishes. Plate after plate was gorgeous! Presentation for our dishes were amazing as well. Everything was very fresh. The oxtail meat in the fried rice was so tender. The fried rice was very much a comfort food and I highly recommend it. We had to rush since we had to catch the Cirque du Soleil Show "O" within the hour so didn't get to enjoy the ambiance much. We let the waitress know when we sat down so she promptly got our orders down and the food to us a the timely manner. We made it just in time! Would definitely come back again.

  • Antonia R.

    As I read other yelp reviews, I begin to think...I'm sure we didn't order the right things. This place was a huge disappointment and robbed us of our time and money. We stumbled upon this place because they were the only nice restaurant still open late at the Cosmopolitan, where we were staying. We sat inside a very dark dining room where I could barely make out my boyfriend's face. The music was blaring and I couldn't talk to my date, besides yelling - It wasn't intimate. The menu is expansive and rather tedious to look through. We decided on a few sushi rolls and nigiri. I always start with a miso soup ($7) for a small bowl and you have to mix in your own miso paste. I mixed all of my miso paste into the hot water... But It didn't blend in well and took me a while. When it was finally blended - it was not warm anymore. So I was pretty much sipping on room temperature miso. To top it off, it was bland. It's appalling how much they charge for sushi rolls that come out in 4 or 6 small pieces. I recall the "dragon eel, avocado, radish sprouts" - it's just your typical caterpillar roll - nothing extravagant. The eel was your standard eel and not even with a thicker piece of meat, paper thin avocado, and radish sprouts. Crazy simple and no frills. It came out in 6 small pieces and was $21.75. It wasn't memorable and I only remember that there was a lot of radish sprout flavor. We also ordered the "Ebi tempura fried shrimp, radish sprouts, avocado" - just like your typical crunchy roll. Nothing about this was fancy or special. All I recall was tasting radish sprouts and rice. $14.75 and it came out in 4 pieces. $5.50 for 1 piece if sake (salmon nigiri). We had to order 2 of them and spent over $10 for 2 small pieces of nigiri. The salmon was cut thinner than the average sushi restaurant. It was fresh and buttery but there wasn't anything special about it and not worth the price that they charge. We spent well over $90 for bits of food here and there and lots of radish sprouts and we left unsatisfied and hungry.

    Overpriced and overrated. Service was good but the food was standard. It cost 3 times what a regular sushi place would cost.

  • Emma C.

    I have uploaded some of the menu. The food here is extremely delicious and tasty. So far we have had the Fried octopus, need marrow, and oxtail fried rice. The food compliments each other without any over powering flavors. Super yummy. The sauces are lip smacking. Definitely a great choice. It's pricey but well worth it. The only down side is It's a bit too dark in here. I wish that the light was a bit brighter. Other than that, everything was perfect. Anson, out waiter, was very patient and took good care of our table full of hyper girls. Very fast service (however we made reservations and arrived right at opening). Great service

  • mary ann f.

    Sushi is my favorite and this spot did not disappoint! The house special oxtail fried rice with marrow is delicious and they offer a half-order was great since it was just 2 of us. Also we enjoyed the sashimi platter, including salmon, halibut, tuna, hamachi, eel, shrimp, eel and silverfish. The best part of the dinner was making friends with the couple sitting next to us, we exchanged business cards and chatted for awhile, it's so exciting to meet new peeps and explore the positive energy that flows between. Great nite!!

    I was reading restaurant reviews, planning where to eat on our next trip to Vegas, when I remembered our meal with friends at Blue Ribbon. It's been too long to recall the specific dishes, but certainly one of the BEST meals of my life. On the list of places to return. I'll update my review then.

  • Cathy C.

    The first time I went here, I only had drinks at the bar. Their drinks (Ume Mimosa and Nashi Martini) are really good and the bartender was awesome. I've been coming back here ever since. Sure, it can be pretty pricey for what you get but if you're with good people, it's all worth it. The presentation is always nice and the service is great. Great ambiance. The fish is always great. The last time I was here, we go 2 bottles of cold sake. Very smooth and tasted like fruit. We got wakame (seaweed salad with sesame), duck potstickers, fried whole fish and an assortment of sashimi and rolls. The fried fish was the highlight for me. You can eat the whole thing including the bones - so crispy and delicious! It came with a soy + rice wine vinegar dipping sauce. Some of the rolls were so good, we ordered 3 rounds of the same ones: Sake Ikura, Kyuri Special. What was disappointing though were the "spicy" rolls like the "spicy" lobster roll and the "spicy" tuna roll - they were not spicy at all.

    Multiple visits. Blue Ribbon is one of my go to places for sushi on the strip. Never had a hard time getting 1-2 seats at the sushi bar without a reservation. The waiters and sushi chefs are friendly. Food - Omakase consists of sushi, sashimi and a dragon roll. The quality isn't as great as the top spots like Yasuda (NY) but it's still very good and very filling -- you won't leave hungry. - Lobster and Scallop sashimi are top notch. Price: - Omakase/Toshi's Choice = $100 + tax/tip - Ise Ebi/Lobster Sashimi = $140 + tax/tip - Scallops = $18.50

    The grilled octopus chef special appetizer knocked my socks off. Truly fabulous! I had no idea the Omakase was going to be so huge or I wouldn't have started with the app! The Omakase they brought out to me absolutely swept me away. The presentation was unbelievable including the freshly filleted snapper portion. I would come back here in a heartbeat. Truly a top notch sushi restaurant!

    The place was half empty when we walked in and we had a reservation for 9:00. We showed up at 8:58 and they told us it would be a 10-15 minute wait. We were fine with that, even though there was at least 16 open tables, and we grabbed a drink at the bar. 45 minutes later, we were still waiting at the bar for our table, and I counted 19 tables open... Sushi was pretty good, but I have had waaaay better, especially in Vegas. I have been to Blue Ribbon in NY and it is definitely ran more professionally and it has way better sushi. Don't waste you money... or time.

    Must try: 1. Fried chicken (they won many awards for this dish) 2. Oxtail fried rice (topped with egg white and inside the egg there is a surprise... Bone marrow! Say whaaaaat!?!?! Delicious!) I have never tried raw scallop before so my husband insisted that I try once he saw the live scallop at the sushi bar. The chef presented the sliced scallop still in its shell along with green onion and mussels. I love sitting at the sushi bar because I had the chance to watch all the beautiful dishes being carefully and skillfully crafted. This is not just good food. This is art. I love this place!

  • Preston C.

    We had an awesome time eating here! We didn't have a reservation but they took us as a walk in and we sat in the back, I always feel like you get the best experience sitting at the sushi bar. All of the workers are so nice and our server was very polite and knowledgable of the menu. The sushi chefs were so nice and made convo with us throughout dinner which I thought was neat. As for our meals, I got water with cucumber to start off because I was feeling a little dehydrated :) I tried one of their rolls which I hadn't had before and I was kinda skeptical about it. It was like Kyuki or something like that, it is amazing. I also had a bowl of miso soup and it was really cool because the soup comes clear with the tofu and seaweed... And you get to mix in your own miso which turns it a tan color :) My dinner date got a Kieren beer and a seaweed salad and omg the seaweed salad was amazing! The dressing that was used was delicious and the seaweed was nice with a great texture. For his course, he got the Mahi Mahi on a bed of rice and it too, was scrumptious! This was probably my favorite/yummiest dining experience in Vegas. The layout of the restaurant is so cool, I couldn't stop talking about it but our server, the sushi chefs, and the food all made my experience 5 stars I will return and I can not wait

    Very fresh and tasty sushi. This was our second time and it did not disappointed. Octopus was very fresh.we started with the Edamme and fried chicken (which is a house specialty) Our rolls were amazing , Spicy crab roll, spicy lobster roll , tako sumiso and dynamite. the Tuna was very fresh. We enjoyed our wait staff and the ambiance. We sat on the outside terrace and enjoyed people watching as it was almost midnight and everyone was on there way to the clubs and coming out of shows.

    Wow i don't get all the bad reviews. I came with 2 friends and had the most amazing meal ever. We just stopped by on the quicks and glad we did. I would say this place is kinda pricey, but i can't complain. I simply had 2 tiger rolls and breaded chicken wings. OMG sooo GOOD! The wings were marinated perfectly and also the sauce that came with it was very good. We had an awesome server (Joey) and we were well taken care of. We simply sat at the bar and watched the chefs do their work. Although, if i were to come next time, i would simply sit at a table. I kind of like my privacy when talking and that you won't have when the chefs are 3ft away from you. Price for tiger roll i believe was $24 and for the wings $20. So would i come back? Hell Yes!

    Wilted, soggy house salad. Tiny sushi pieces over balls of sushi rice that breaks apart. Sloppy presentation. This is no better than a strip mall sushi joint. Prices are laughable. There are many more satisfying options around the area.

    I really loved this restaurant. The atmosphere is very romantic and the food is great. I actually really liked the miso soup too. The lobster roll is also great.

    If i could give 0 stars i would. Do not eat here. I'm staying at the mgm & went to blue ribbon for dinner last night. Started to feel unusually full during half the light meal of salmon row salmon sushi & had a tuna roll as well. I can usually down 3 times the amount i ordered so i didnt overdo it by any means. Went for a walk after dinner feeling totally bloated. Went to bed a couple hours later and woke up puking my guts out. I never get sick like this EVER. We narrowed it down to tuna probably being the culprit since i was the only order at our table. Saw my dinner in reverse & felt way better. Food poisoning at its finest. In addition this place is a rip off. The small amount i ordered was $60. Rediculous. Eat here at your own risk. Never going back.

    This place seems to get a wide range of reviews and my advice would be to sit at the sushi bar for the best food and service. If you are staying at the Cosmopolitan, this is a great place to grab some good Sushi and Sake as then head out for the night. A little pricey for sure, but you are in Vegas.

    Whilst I had a craving for Japanese, based on Yelp reviews, I really tossed up going here. In the end I figured what could it hurt. I'm glad I did, and even went back 2 nights later! Each time I sat at the sushi bar (first time front, second out back) and the service was great - gotta love seeing your food prepared in from of you and then the sushi chefs handing you your dish immediately! Night 1 - Started with Tuna Tataki - perfect amount of garlic and the tuna itself was delicious and fresh. Next had a piece of yellowtail & tuna sushi. The yellowtail was delish so I ordered a second one. Night 2 - Salmon tartare - perfectly fresh, smooth & fatty lightly minced salmon, with a perfect amount of soy sauce to go with the quail egg Combined Yellowtail/Tuna/Salmon maki inside out roll - possibly the best maki roll I've ever eaten! The only downside again is the price - especially for the sashimi / sushi (hence the 4 not 5 stars) Fun Fact - for non Americans - what is listed on menus as sushi is what is generally called Nigiri in at least Japan / Australia (piece of fish / meat / vegetable on top of a piece of rice)

    It's probably weird that I come to Vegas and eat sushi every night (especially since there is great sushi in Boston). Hey--if my clients are paying for it, I WILL EAT ALL THE SUSHI. I went to Blue Ribbon in a group of 10. 4 of us shared the massive Blue Ribbon sushi sampler, while the rest ordered non-sushi entrees. We were hungry hippos, and after polishing off the sampler the 4 of us ordered 4-5 additional rolls. Our favorite items were the fatty salmon sashimi, the eel & avocado roll, and there was a tuna soaked in some sort of ginger mixture that was delicious. We also shared two bottles of the Malbec, which was great. Overall, I had a great experience at Blue Ribbon and would return next time I come to Vegas!

  • Janet L.

    Not sure why management is dressed in casual shirts and jeans. It really brought down the whole feel for the restaurant, but I digress. The food! Our server left us pretty early on and one of the managers helped us out. Except he was terrible at explaining everything, so we just ended up nodding and not even knowing what we ordered (probably the omakase). The presentation barely fit on the table, and while the sashimi was good, we agreed that the second plate of rolls and other sushis were probably better. Nothing is too memorable other than being quite full. I recognize that this place is expensive (every other review talks about how pricey it is), but this is coming from someone who didn't even pay for my meal (shout out to my wonderful friends!), it probably isn't worth how little or much you pay here, I wouldn't come back. Also, dangit, I forgot to try the wings. So if you're stuck at Blue Ribbon right now, reading reviews for what to get, that's what you're supposed to get. I remembered reading about it but forgot, then someone asked us if we got it when we told him where we had eaten. Oh well.

    Walked into the Cosmopolitan Resort/Casino with a huge smile on my face, finally a chic, classy feel that I was extremely excited about.... That was until we decided to try out this "wannabe" 5 star restaurant called Blue Ribbon Sushi... With the weather scorching at a high 107 degrees, the obvious choice for personal attire would be to wear Shorts and not a suit and tie. Well we approached the "friendly" hostess and were greeted with a "Beachwear is not allowed in our restaurant"... Instead of questioning why I saw staff wearing T-shirts and Jeans and why there were other customers wearing nasty ass Hoochie Shorts, and tank tops, we decided to take our money elsewhere, walked our "6 figure low class asses" right next door to the Bellagio and dined at Yellowtail Sushi where we ate the best Sashimi in my lifetime! FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE THE LASTING IMPRESSION! I will never walk into the Cosmopolitan again!

    I was generally unimpressed with this place. The atmosphere, although dark and serene, was not on par with a Vegas strip restaurant. I didn't care for the deep chairs. It made it very hard to have a conversation and we kept finding ourselves leaning over the table to hear each other over the loud music and background noise. The service was terrible. It took me 15 minutes to get a water. Another 15 mins to get my cocktail, which was horrible (cucumber-hi) and lacked flavor. I don't know if they were running short on menus, but they kept trying to take them away from us. We had to tell our waitress repeatedly to please leave the menus.

  • Jennie N.

    I think people must come here drunk and think the food is good. I had high hopes (based on Google reviews, my Yelp app wasn't loading) that this spot would have good food. My plate was $36 and I could've made much better food at home for 1/3 of the cost. If you like bland, one dimensional food, this spot is for you. If you're a foodie, go elsewhere.

  • Anne C.

    I've been to the blue ribbon in NYC and I think the nyc one is better - fish is more fresh athough the oxtail fried rice is still fabulous in both locations! omakase for $100pp is a great deal, but it's more quantity over quality. service was great and to sit at the bar was a lot of fun. Overall,it was a decent experience and a solid place to eat when you're staying at the cosmo!

  • Dani S.

    Overpriced, snob appeal establishment on the strip. Yes, it's inside the cosmopolitan so we expected high prices. But after 7 orders of sushi and rice dishes, we were still not full. The bill came out to be over $200 not including tips. The quality of the fish was probably an 8 out of 10. The fried chicken that everyone raves about is a whopping $26, holy cow! It was good, but it certainly aint $26 good! The sweet shrimp was $20 each, wallet cleaner, and it tasted the same as the ones at Yama Sushi which charges $20 for an entire meal AYCE. Service was attentive, to be expected. The bathrooms are clean, also to be expected. Unless you enjoy the snob appeal and pay big bucks for mediocre food, then don't come here!

    I fell in love with the oxtail bone marrow fried rice when I visited the NYC location. You can only imagine the smile on my face when they told me they served it here in Vegas, as well! Score! We started the evening with a bottle of nigori, that drink gets me buzzing from the get go and at 19% alcohol on the Genshu Sake I knew I was in for a treat! Our first dish was one of the restaurant's signature dishes kanpachi Yuzu which was delicate with a soft supple texture but with a nice acidic finish from the yuzu. Great start! King crab truffle fried rice - dare I say I found a new favorite?!? I think I died and went to fried rice heaven!! The truffle added just the right amount of fragrant aroma to this drool worthy dish to make my mouth water and the moist and flaky king crab took it up to whole new level! AMAZEBALLS!!! Oxtail bone marrow fried rice with egg - as deliciously magnificent as I remembered! Rich, flavorful and marvelous!!!! Bone marrow - Rich, smooth with deep flavors enhanced by the accompanying sauce! You really don't need the accompanying bread but the contrast in textures are inviting! Fried chicken - served nice & hot! Perfectly crisp on the outside and beautifully juicy on the inside! Finger lickin gooooood! We were running late for a show so the thoughtful staff had us sign sealed and delivered before we could even say "check please!" Overall, great food, courteous staff and cool hip ambiance! The prices are a bit high but what do expect? IMO, this a great place to dine if you're into Japanese cuisine/Asian fusion. Happy Eats!

    I highly recommend the blue ribbon platter. You'll get to try all of their soft and mouthwatering sashimi cuts. I was here for a business outing and we had a fantastic time due to a combination of their great service plus food quality. The service is top notch and did I forget to mention how fresh tasting their quality and selection of sashimi is here. Also the oxtail rice is a pretty cool side to try. For a sublime sushi experience in Vegas, this place doesn't disappoint one bit.

  • Bryant H.

    Not sure why this place only gets a three and a half star review...but I personally think it's one of the best sushi places on the strip. Went in with the family before catching a show and everything from the food to the service was outstanding. Wife and I ordered the omakase sushi and sashimi only, while we ordered the kiddos udon. Below are some notable dishes worth ordering if you are giving this place a try: - udon was delicious (thin noodle)...places that serve udon in a stone/clay pot is doing it right - seaweed...best side order of seaweed (had a variety of 3 types of seaweed)...super fresh...awesome dressing to go with - prawn and giant clam sashimi excellent quality - bread pudding dessert w/ ginger ice cream...best I ever had! Also wanted to give kudos to our server...thank you!

    The ahi tuna Krispy rice was to die for and if you like krispy fried chicken I would recommend that dish too! I did try the himachi and I would say that the fish wasn't very flavorful and it tasted very bland.

  • Jennifer Y.

    My first time dining at this restaurant and I was very happy with the service and the food. The waiter was very enthusiastic and helpful. The oxtail fried rice was amazing. So flavorful and delicious. A but over priced but what so you expect?!!! It's Vegas!! The hamachi roll was not very impressive and was very small at $17. The clam in butter sauce was also pretty tasty. They have a good selection of cocktails and I must say I'm not a big drinker but the drinks tasted so refreshing and yummy it made me want to order another one. Definitely will be coming back to try their other dishes.

    Came into Blue Ribbon Sushi with a group of 8 on a Saturday night. With no reservation I was pleasantly surprised how accommodating the staff was. They pulled together a table for us pretty quickly even tho the restaurant was pretty packed. Service was great and very attentive. They made some pretty good recommendations on menu items as well. Here are my thoughts on a few of the things we ordered: Hummingbird Cocktail- Cava and too much St Germaine made this bubbly cocktail much too sweet Pork Dumplings - good but nothing special Shrimp Tempura - just like popcorn shrimp from Long John Silvers, not worth ordering Miso Soup- they brought out fresh miso to add to the broth which was super interesting and something I've never had before, who knew miso was its own thing? I thought that was just the kind of soup that it was. Hotate Spicy Scallop Role- absolutely my favorite item and so happy I ordered this Green tea martini- refreshingly delicious Chicken Fried Rice- so delicious!! And very original in the way it was prepared and presented Live Scallop- weird and kind of boring actually Various other rolls that were all pretty good too Pricing on their menu items is pretty high so be prepared to drop a lot of dough when you go in here. Luckily we came in for a business dinner so I didn't have to worry about breaking my own bank. I definitely recommend this spot if you love sushi and want a great experience! Will definitely be back during my next Vegas trip!

  • Ron R.

    I don't know when was the last time prior to this one that I felt robbed at a restaurant. This place is very well built for ambiance. The tables, and interior is very cool looking. The food is excellent (as excellent as your local good sushi place in your home town). However in your home down, the rolls and sushi are about three times less expensive. For example: Spicy Tuna roll in my hometown best sushi place is about 7$ for 8 pieces. Blue Ribbon? 18$ for 6 pieces. That theme goes across the whole menu and while I understand its the Vegas markup....the markup has to come with some flair. You need to give me something my sushi house back home doesn't offer and a nice ambiance is not enough. I highly discourage this place as there are cheaper and equally good places around the strip.

  • Thuan N.

    Went to Blue Ribbon at the cosmopolitan for valentines weekend. The service was great but the food was not up to par. I've eaten at Blue Ribbon in Brooklyn, New York for a work event and it was much better there. My boyfriend and I ordered two specialty items to share: The king crab fried rice: had barely any hint of truffles as shown in the posted pictures. There were large chunks of shiitake mushrooms which were unappetizing. Basically way over priced and over hyped for this dish The Blue Ribbon lobster sushi maki roll: the lobster was hard, cold, and chewy. The emphasis was that there was caviar on the roll, but it did not make the dish any better. I usually like to order signature dishes for what the restaurant is known for and I don't mind paying high prices for great food, but this was definitely a flop. I don't recommend these two dishes here.

  • Karen C.

    I had dinner here recently with some colleagues. It was absolute delicious. It is much more than a sushi restaurant. They had a lot of great appetizers and grilled entrees, besides sushi and sashimi. They have two counters of sushi chefs in the middle of each room of the restaurant. You can actually sit at the counter or at regular tables. We choose a regular table. Our waiter was very attentive and offered suggestions when we had questions. Since I am doing a no carb diet, I am not eating rice. I ended up having a wonderful grilled scallop dish. It normally comes with rice but they put a really tasty veggie mix with it instead. Really good. My colleagues had a mix of different sushi and sashimi. Everyone seemed to like their dishes. We did start with the black cod in miso appetizer. It was yummy. I definitely will be back here. It was tasty and we had good service.

  • Sean B.

    Awesome sushi, our server was tops, the drinks were tasty and the room was cool. We ordered the $100 per person sushi sashimi chefs sampler, some edamame and green tea martinis. We had those little Mochi balls for dessert and it was such a good idea and nice sweet cap to the mild perfection of the sashimi. I liked every bit of sushi placed before me, except for the Blue Ribbon Roll, it had some kind of leaf it, I just googled it, called a shiso leaf, it kind of ruined the role for me. It tasted like a mint leaf or basil and just didn't fit for me. After we removed the leaves the role was a little better, but still the lowest ranking item we ingested. The dragon roll was pure hot fire, like Dylan from Da Band. 4 stars, go here, eat here and enjoy! Thanks Blue Ribbon! Done

    Hello, shrimps. Nice to look you dead (literally) in the eye. Be forewarned: if you're planning on ordering shrimp, you may want to ask them to take their eyes or entire heads off first. This restaurant actually came recommended to me; but don't expect me to recommend it to you. I suppose you shouldn't look for really great sushi on the strip, right? You'd assume there wouldn't be an appealing, non-buffet dinner option? WRONG. Blue Ribbon has so much potential but at some point or another drops the ball like New York on New Year's Eve. Not only was I disappointed with the overall atmosphere of the restaurant, the food was portioned small and didn't have much flavor to it, including the table's soy sauce which was extremely salty. Even the fried rice was a large disappointment. What's odd to me, however, is that the sushi bar seemed to be rollin' out the rolls at every turn with ornate and decorate garnishes with delicious looking delights. Yet, we could never find out where they'd disappear to? Should've just gone with the Vegas instinct; when in doubt, buffet it is.

  • Sandra K.

    Bad service at places like this is unacceptable. We sat at the sushi bar and none of the sushi chefs never even recognized us for whole 2 hrs we were there. After paying 500 some dollars for sashimi plates and lobster sashimi (it supposed to be their specialty), all we got was a bad stomachache. We will not go back.

  • Zach M.

    Absolutely amazing experience. The decor utilizes a lot of unique and intriguing woodwork, which gives it a feel unlike anything else. Our server was phenomenal, full of useful suggestions and not pushy at all. Sometimes in nicer restaurants you can feel pushed to get the most expensive item on the menu, but not this time. The pan-fried duck gyoza were TO DIE FOR. Absolutely astounding. I've had a lot of edamame in my day, but theirs was amazing. We ordered the chef's choice platter and the Honoo platter and they were a great choice. The chef's platter was visually stunning, and a great deal if you want to sample some different shashimi and nigiri. Not somewhere I would go every time I'm craving sushi, but I will definitely keep this one in mind for a nice night out in the future.

  • Mari B.

    Don't do it. After a long day of work , I thought I would quick order some sushi from the cosmo's sushi restaurant .. I obviously Yelp things but I didn't even check this place out bc I honestly assumed it must be good if it's in the Cosmo. Wrong. Ordered edamame, tuna tartare & an order of maki Dragon roll (eel, avocado and sprouts). Tuna was an appetizer but it was honestly about 4 bites (I assumed since it was so pricey it was going to be a large portion) sushi was not good at all. The eel was dry and kinda smelly, just overall wasn't a fresh, good sushi roll. Edamame was great but how can you mess up steamed beans I was bummed. Just annoyed that I spent $60 on those 3 items.. Which I would've been ok with had it been delicious . I'm aware sushi isn't cheap nor is Vegas but it wasn't even worth $20 to be honest

    Call it 3.5 stars. I was staying in the Cosmo and, having dined at Blue Ribbon in NY, thought this would be a tasty and convenient choice. It was certainly convenient and was overall a pretty decent meal, though, to me, not worthy of 4 stars. THE GOOD -Our server was very pleasant -The decor was modern and sleek, yet very comfortable. Try to sit at one of the banquets if you can. -The house salad (with avocado and ginger dressing) was really good and was perhaps the largest appetizer salad I've ever been served in a sushi joint. -Sushi (I had the 7 piece sushi and tuna roll combo) was good, but not great. -The ginger bread pudding was stellar; probably the best thing we ate. THE NOT SO GOOD -The Woodford Reserve on the rocks I ordered was a minuscule pour. I expected more for $16 -Sushi was good, but not great. For these prices, even in Vegas, the Sushi should be super fresh and really tasty. -My meal cost $88. Looking back on what I ordered, it was just not a good value. I don't regret dining at Blue Ribbon, but with so many great food options in Vegas, I would probably not return.

    Warning Hard core fresh sushi! Don't expect all American sushi. I don't eat sushi only your puny Cali roll and shrimp tempura roll. I go to sushi Restaurants for my hubby he loves it. Staff was awesome! He loved it. I read the yelp and would of appreciated a review telling me it was hard core sushi place.

  • Andrea W.

    Came here for dinner, food was good. Food was real good. The wagyu was on point, sushi was great. Fish felt fresh. The sake choices were a bit over whelming but I had a good amount of it. Everything tasted find, and the menu choices were excellent. I would have given this a 5 star if it wasn't for the asshole of a waiter we had. I'm assuming it's because we decided to dress pretty down but he was acting like we couldn't afford shit at this place. A young couple dressed very casually, doesn't deserve the same treatment the table next to us was given apparently. Half way through the meal he had to go on break and then we got an amazing waiter, very helpful and attended to our needs. But that first guy left a pretty sour taste in my mouth for this place. I might try it again, solely for the food. Not the shitty attitudes.

  • Andrea V.

    I have to say the only great thing about this place is that it stays open until 2am. At around midnight my friends and I worked up quite an appetite. We went to every restaurant in the Cosmopolitan and everyone was closed. We were very surprised, isn't this Vegas?! So I give Blue Ribbon props for being the only place open in the hotel. However, the food was very pricey. Then again, it is Vegas and it is to be expected. I ordered the spicy tuna roll which was just average. It was very small and priced at $14. I had a severe allergic reaction to it which was not fun. I have never had that happen to me before when I have eaten sushi in the past. I want to say they may have perhaps mixed it on counters that were exposed to shellfish? I'm not really sure, but it was unfortunate. I also had the skewered meatballs which were tasted average. These were a bit more cheaper ($9) and came with quite a decent portion size. I would only recommend coming here if you need food this late at night!

    What a fabulous dining experience!!! Between the 7 of us ... we ordered many many things on the menu. I'll list below just so I can recreate the experience for myself. But first ... my favorites. For sure above all the - Una Kyu ... - Eel wrapped in Cucumber .. then - The honey Wasabi sauce for the fried chicken (oh the chicken is one of the things they are known for) - Yasi Hama (baked clams with miso butter) And now for the rest of what we ordered as a group - Edamame (cuz why not) - Ebi Shumai (shrimp dumplings) - Hijiki (seaweed with sesame) - Kaiso Moriawase (seaweed salad with sumiso sause) - Asian Broccoli - Salt and Pepper Shrimp - Miso Soup For self I ordered the Sushi Deluxe Platter with a spicy tuna roll. And others mostly ordered sushi and shashimi ... All the fish tasted so fresh and so clean! AH MAY ZING!!! Oh! And the joy ... they opened a chicken spot in NYC ... going home soon!

    I did omakase here with my family and it was mediocre. It definitely was not worth the $500 bill. NYC Blue Ribbon is much better than this place. Also, everyone had a mild stomach ache after and the next day. All 4 of us.

    This place is awesome, have to say. The Sushi mixed platter we had was so insanely good, it cannot be missed when in Vegas or at the Cosmopolitan. I came with 2 others, it was $200 for the platter so pricey but for this level and the amount served it would easily have fed 4 to 6 then its good value. We were seated at the Sushi bar, watching expert chefs at their craft and boy were they. the fix was super fresh, the white fish was still moving when filleted. A Great atmosphere all around here, the service was super quick and we were heading for a show so that made a difference but we never felt like we were being rushed. This place was full of great customers, always famous at the Cosmo. Gorgeous girls and guys, lots of tiny waists and big boobs, that equally matched the big shoes and tiny skirts! ... and that was the guys! No I'm kidding LMFAO! I will never go to Vegas again without eating here at least once!

    Loved it. Great fish, wonderful service. After a horrible experience at american fish at the aria, blue ribbon was just so right. No reservation? They had three choices, granted it was early in the night but thank you for being warm and welcoming. The wait staff was knowledgable and very attentative. For the fish-knock out. Honestly my tongue was tired from the flavor workout. Fresh, super well cut. Rolls were mad tasty. Beers were a perfect pairing, saki was just right. The sashimi was just plain divine. I know where I will be coming back to next time. Loved it.

    I had dinner here tonight for my sisters 23rd birthday. We were looking for a restaurant/bar atmosphere and love sushi, and blue ribbon turned out to be perfect!! It is dark and a little loud, but nothing overwhelming... in fact, it was perfect- you can still hear each other, but the people next to you can't hear you. Definitely contributed to the great atmosphere. It is a little bit pricy which made me nervous, many sushi places in Vegas are over-priced with tiny portions and aren't worth the money. We ordered the 18 piece sashimi deluxe platter for $56.00. It was so worth it, the sashimi was so fresh and had amazingly distinct taste. Melted in our mouths! We also had edamame and roasted shishito peppers, in addition to a bottle of sake and a cocktail. The drinks were very good and reasonably priced. I will definitely be back for that sashimi! The service was FANTASTIC! Our concierge was very considerate when making the reservation, and communicated to the restaurant that it was a birthday. They brought out complimentary desert which was nice. Our waitress was very attentive and touched the table the perfect amount. We were there a while and her shift ended half way through our meal, and she introduced us to our server who was taking over, Mark, and he was great. Definitely recommend this, especially if youre looking for a nice place to eat before going to marquee!

    4 $ Signs but also 5 STARS! If you like Sushi, have been to several other sushi restaurants and often look to step it up, Blue Ribbon will help you get there! We more at Blue Ribbon than a one night stay at the Cosmopolitan. We kicked it off with a yellowtail jalapeño appetizer - exquisite. Next, headed on to the Cosmopolitan platter for $85 which included higher end cuts of sushi & sashimi and it was amazing. Presentation was fantastic and the cuts were amazing. It wasn't enough to satisfy our hunger however - there is a platter that is twice the price on the menu that serves 4 people - I'd recommend it. If you're just there for sushi you can't go wrong. We ordered a surf & turf platter next. 9 oz filet & a 1.25 lb lobster - served with tempura onion, sautéed bok choy and warmed miso butter for the lobster - this was pure heaven. Stupid delicious. I mean really, OMG. It was amazing. Can't say enough here and the filet was done just right. We also ordered a tiger roll topped with habanero sauce to give it a little kick. Amazing. Jason was our waiter, he was excellent. This was so far our best meal in Vegas and worth every penny!

    The atmosphere was really cool. The bartender was friendly and there are TVs on the walls which gives you a bit of a sports bar kind of vibe. The food was awesome and the drinks were strong. The bathroom setup could be a little better and that's the only reason I'm giving it a 4 star rating. Overall a great experience dining there ;). I would sure go back given the chance.

    Hand's down one of the freshest and tastiest Sushi and Sashimi we have had in a while. We were a party of 4 dining very late for a friend birthday and the staff was very nice and happy to accommodate us. We ordered the sushi platter and a few extra salmon sashimi pieces and washed it all down with some champagne. A little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for :) I recommend this place if you are not super hungry and want to try some high quality sushi without breaking the bank! We will definitely be back

    Bad Chu-toro. No apology from management. It's one of more expensive selection. Obviously not in high demand. Someone should have checked the freshness Won't return again for pot luck. Signed - My upset stomach

    The sushi served at Blue Ribbon is much closer to "authentic" than your average local sushi house. None of the rolls had creamcheese or the other typical American additions to the Japanese favorite. The fish was all fresh and the appetizers flavorful. The downside of the restaurant was the price. Sashimi/sushi pieces are $8-20 per, whereas they're generally half that price for twice the quantity anywhere else. If you like sashimi, including some very tasty Wagyu sashimi, then you should try it out. Just don't expect this to be the best sushi place you'll ever eat at.

    Okay....so if you've followed my gastro-journal for any length of time, you can attest to the fact that I tend to focus on the brighter side of food, keeping negative reviews short and delicate. Yet, when a restaurant puts out food with prices that warrant a 5th yelp dollar sign, let's just say I am tougher to please....

    I ordered the isaki (white grunt), yellowtail sashimi, house salad, hot green tea along with a vegetable roll, tuna sashimi and two other fish sashimi but I can't remember now. I thoroughly enjoyed my isaki sashimi and house salad along with the crunchy and pickled vegetable roll. The green tea wasn't anything spectacular and neither was the yellowtail. Everything was fresh but nothing that made me go, "wow, this stuff is freaking good!" However, I might go back and try more items later. As a side note, this would be a great place for couples to go on a date. The decor is nice and cozy with dim lighting. I really like their comfy chairs and big couches.

    A few months ago I visited there sushi bar spontaneously and I was incredibly pleased. For those of you that enjoy California rolls, tempura and baked rolls this is not your restaurant. Only true sushi lovers can really appreciate what they are doing here. For starters how many places have fresh miso on the side of there miso soup you may think its there to add as you please but if you stop and taste the freshness of the miso you would realize that it's not only a bowl of soup but a chance to taste what miso should really taste like. From toro to there uni I was extremely impressed. And for those less daring I would recommend there yellowtail belly served as sashimi with jalapeño and ponzu sauce. I went alone and spent 200 dollars but I do not regret a penny of it

    Blue Ribbon was one of our choices for dinner on Restaurant Week. My friend and I were excited for our dinner there! Here is a rundown of some of the items we tried and what we thought of them. *Lobster bisque - Decent, with big chunks of lobster, not hot enough and not as flavorful as I expected. *Spicy tuna - Very good! My favorite spicy tuna roll to date. It's more flavorful than others I've had, so I will be back for more of this. *California roll - Pretty good, but not my favorite. *Sparkling blueberry sake - So good!! Very sweet, but that's how I like my sake. *White ale - Pretty good and I don't even like beer. *Fried chicken - Very tender and juicy. Pleasantly surprised by this dish. I intended on having only seafood, but this was highly recommended. *Herb crusted halibut with fingerling potatoes - Pretty good, but not quite as delicious as the chicken. *Bread pudding - Best ever! I mean it. I thoroughly enjoyed this dessert. I liked it so much, that I forgot what my friend ordered for dessert. All I know is that I didn't want to share my bread pudding! I can't wait to go back and try more of their food.

  • Aleaha R.

    Overall good but pricey. I took my team here for a nice dinner. I will say, I expected better service. I asked the server to help with quantity for the group and she really was not helpful nor made suggestions... I figured it out on my own. We got the largest sushi boat which everyone loved, had good variety. We got the steamed lobster and hat went quick. Fried chicken was good, had a little spice... The honey sauce is what made it. The pork potstickers were really good too. I had the wagyu steak and have to say was little disappointed especially for $200. It just didn't have a lot of flavor of course it was tender. I have had other wagyu steaks and this just was not my favorite. Overall a good experience just not sure if the food matches the price.

  • Afnan A.

    Overpriced. I usually love seaweed salad every time I order it, but not at this restaurant. The seaweed was awful and the tofu was overwhelming. I had the vegetarian sushi, which was nothing special. Good cold sake. Buy the bottle, it's cheaper.

  • Shaun I.

    Great Group Spot, but Not what we expected. We were staying at the Cosmopolitan and went here with 10 people, was quiet but we went for an early dinner. Made a reservation and still sat down late, slow service, menu variety was okay, for what you get its is overpriced. Food quality was good, but not a sushi lovers destination. However, the fried Chicken was Awesome! This was the best dish and redeemed this place, a little. Soy Sauce is Very Poutant, forgot our edaname, bought it out at the very end with the bill. Overall, it was very average! there are better sushi places in Vegas

  • Daniel L.

    Service and atmosphere was just Ok, but the fried chicken was amazing. Yes, there is fried chicken at a sushi joint. If you go there you have to try it. The portion could have been a little bigger or could have included a side. The server did not recommend one.

    Super weird when a Jersey Shore-esq guy wearing True Religion jeans is walking around filling everyone's water glasses. Green Tea Martini is absolutely amazing, sushi wasn't fantastic. 3 stars because it was awkward. Would not return.

  • Jill D.

    I like!! My girls and I ordered a variety of rolls. All tasted great. I ordered the fresh scallop. Unfortunately they were out of the item. I found bone marrow my favorite!! Huge serving and very rich. We were not able to finish the marrow between the three of us. The restaurant was pricey but the food is good and it is a nice place to take friends before a night out.

  • Ada H.

    Very salty on everything we ordered and the sashimi was not the quality I had expected. Could have something better at naked fish for 20% of the bill. Sashimi was sliced very uneven and simply not too fresh. Maybe my expectation was too high looking at their price. The sake here is extremely expensive as well. Will never come back again.

  • Karen S.

    Expected much, much more from this place. The atmosphere was fine, but the service and food left so much to be desired. Ordered miso soup, the chicken "un-fried" rice, and several rolls. All were boring and bland. The waitress recommended the Dragon roll, so we ordered it. A different roll came to the table - and she said "oh, sorry, the buttons are next to each other on the machine when I put in the order. Do you want to just go ahead and eat that one?" Never got the Dragon, and would recommend any other Asian restaurant in Vegas over this one :)

    We went for a quick bite before a show. We sat at the sushi bar, as is our preference. The food was okay. We had fun chatting with the sushi chefs. Service was acceptable. Not sure that I would return as there was no aspect of the experience that was remarkable.

  • H. L.

    So yummy with their 2 year old soy sauce from Osaka! But what is up with the price! ;( decided to bring my lovely mom here after watching our show "O" from bellagio since we were already staying at cosmo anyway. We ordered 4 different rolls. The rolls only had 4 pieces per roll... and cost about $20 or more per roll! I mean I would understand the high prices if they gave us like 3 more pieces. Who am I kidding! It would still be insane :( I can't really complain though since my mom enjoyed the meal. The bill came out to be about $100 not including tip for the measly 16 pieces of sushi rolls that were the size of quarters!... my suggestion is to go somewhere else! Its vegas! There are always better sushi with better prices :(

    Place is getting 5 stars simply on that the Oxtail Fried Rice with Bone Marrow is to die for! Fried chicken is decent and sushi is fresh as well. Definitely will be back when back in Vegas.

  • Kendall P.

    I thought the service was great (the reason for 3 star rating). However was shocked about how wasteful this place was about water. EVERY single sink at the sushi bar had water running while no one was using it. They could use that money they save to pay their employees more or charge less for the sushi.

  • Nichole N.

    I had a couple hours to kill before catching my flight out of Vegas and remembered I saw this place did happy hour a while back online. I went down to the concierge who informed me he didn't think they still offered happy hour but I could go up and check. Sure enough happy hour was a go! You can only order the cheap food at the bar bar- not the sushi bar. It's really a steal! I have 3 kinds of sushi and a water and left feeling full, happy, fancy and only spending about 20 bucks. The bartender was friendly enough and the sushi was fresh and tasty. The happy hour is a great deal!

    Horribly disappointed...we never mind paying for good food if the service is also good. Paying $58 for crab fried rice is fine especially for dinner in Vegas but then we would expect quick and attentive service. Too much of gap in time between getting various courses and even had to wait 30 minutes to get check then 30 min more to get credit card back to sign and leave. $5 a person to have a birthday cake cut and all that for good food but not fantastic. Would not recommend this place much better going to a restaurant like Roy's for good service and food at a cheaper cost.

    I guess instead of doing a review of the past year - 2013, I choose to review a restaurant I visited inside The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas. Like among my firsts this year, a visit to Honolulu, no visit to San Francisco or Chicago (usually visit one or the other. Restaurants in Las Vegas with any sort of quality often comes with a price tag and Blue Ribbon Sushi and Grill is no different. When your dinner companion is a pescatarian, choices are limited. Blue Ribbon is a better than average sushi restaurant, we had ordered the standard miso and something new, Chinese broccoli lobster bisque. The miso was good but the bisque was delicious and not too rich. We also ordered ebi rolls, shrimp tempura rolls and I also got the Pork rind appetizer with shoshito peppers and poached cherry tomatoes. All our rolls were created simply but the rice and fillings tasted wonderfully. Pork rinds are an acquired taste which I have and the combo of the warm cherry tomatoes and shoshito peppers made this a new revelation. After this full meal, we were too full to even attempt dessert. Truly a wonderful place to try and be forewarned that the prices are a bit higher than your neighborhood sushi joint. So with this review, my Yelp challenge for 100 reviews is completed!

    I went to this restaurants after light meal with my colleagues and business partners. This restaurant is located in The Cosmopolitan. We found King Crab Fried rice that was $58!! We finally decided to order this super expensive fried rice. We convinced from deep in our hearts. It tasted truffle and sophisticated. I really wanted to order again.

    The last day of Restaurant Week Las Vegas, we decided to visit Blue Ribbon Sushi, somewhere we've never been. From the moment we walked in till the end of the meal, everything was very pleasant. Everyone was smiling and seemed like they really enjoyed being there. The ambience was lively and all the guests seemed like they were all having a good time. Definitely a hip place for date night or a group event. We ordered from the Restaurant Week menu and sure there was sushi, miso soup as part of the first course but there was short ribs AND fried chicken. Say what?!?! Fried chicken at a sushi joint? YUP! Do it, it was awesome! You'd think ordering fried chicken at a sushi joint is like picking up sushi at a gas station, but that is so far from it. The chicken was awesome. The Asian inspired seasoning accompanied by the honey wasabi something or another sauce made it an awesome interpretation of fried chicken. A definite MUST HAVE. DO IT! We opted for the add on: king crab leg truffled fried rice. We loved it. Now a days, truffle is the 'in' thing but this dish was beautiful made. The truffle was not over powering and the king crab was quite generous. Everything was mixed table side, which made for a wonderful presentation and kept us salivating. Our dinner ended with our last course: dessert. The portions during Restaurant Week was perfect. We were already full but when two beautifully presented desserts laid right in front you, you have no choice but to try it, just a bite. The ginger bread pudding was delightful and the chocolate dessert most definitely satisfied our sweet tooth. The service was very nice. Everyone we came across was engaging and did something to contribute to a very pleasant and wonderful experience. Thank You Blue Ribbon Sushi, we'll be back for another date night!

    Our server was very attentive - so customer service was great. The person delivering our drinks was very casually dressed and didn't appear to work there - it was almost like a stranger delivered our drinks. Not good. As for the sushi - well it was good, but nothing special. It almost tasted Americanized. I had a New Yorker tell me it is great sushi and that it's saying alot because New Yorkers are serious about their sushi...but seriously? I'm not so sure about that. I think sushi in the So Bay is way better. Wings were over salted but you could eat one piece and still very much enjoy it. Environment is fun and it's a great nite out with friends.

    The awkward moment I'm still Duke after two check ins. And it's been at least over two months since I've held the title. Someone take it away please. This is a review for Restaurant Week (2012). Out of the five RW venues I've ate at this was the most disappointing. The lobster bisque was good, it tasted fresh and had lobster in it. This was something special they pulled out for RW, it's not normally served on the menu or otherwise as a special. The spicy tuna roll was plain jane. Mine looked like it was made by an inexperienced adult sushi-maker with one of those how to make a sushi roll kit you find at bookstores. My chutoro wasn't oily like in some other restaurants. I liked my hamachi though. There were multiple choices for our main entree but out of the five people I came here with, we ALL ordered the famous fried chicken! BAH! Sure it was cooked and prepared correctly, moist and not dry, seasoned with extra seasoning scattered around the plate, complimented with a nice sweet sauce but was this it? A single piece, and it tasted like it was cooked in almost overly used oil. The dessert was delicious, I had the gingerbread pudding. During the meal we had someone from Restaurant Week stop by our booth to say hi and thanked us. Wish I got his name and what his position was but the totality of everything having to do with RW, this was not a bad showing for $30 and they were one of the higher donation donors out there. I ordered some regular menu items as well which was impressive, I'll update the review with another visit on the regular menu items. The Samurai Barley Ale was gooooooood. But I do hope they continue to participate in Restaurant Week..

    Holy moly! The Super special Sushi platter, (the sushi boat) was AMAZING! Plus it was huge. More than enough to feed 4 people! Had all types of goods on there. Lots of sashimi, a few hand rolls, and nigiri. Some of my faves were the o-toro and the lobsters shiso caviar roll. Yummm! Next time I visit Vegas I'll be sure to give Blue Ribbon sushi another visit :D Whole Boat: yelp.com/biz_photos/blue… Up close: yelp.com/biz_photos/blue… yelp.com/biz_photos/blue…

    MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE TO GET SUSHI!!! Yes I'm yelling, its that good. every time I go I have loved EVERYTHING on the menu, they are very accommodating and i don't even know where to start. I wish vegas didn't have a ton of restaurants cause otherwise i would have every single meal here!!

    Dined here over labor day weekend and I had a great experience. We sat down after 1:00 am and we were placed at the front sushi bar. We were treated very well by all of the staff including the three sushi chefs that helped us make choices First THE ATMOSPHERE was great. Not stuffy not pretentious. Sat with another couple that happened to be from Canada visiting and we drank sake with them taking turns buying bottles and we also partied with the sushi guys. They had campyo maki which shows that this place is not some bogus sushi place that has no idea what that is. My wife had a steak with some kind of sauce that was really good. All in all it's a place where you can let it all hang out and eat a good meal and have fun. Strong selection.

    I liked it. But was it worth $$$? Maybe its better to try it again to know for sure... I am no sushi connoisseur however Ive had my share of fresh and no so fresh fish in my day...This place was our pick on a Sunday night due to everything else closing early. From the moment we walked in service was really, really good! I wish I could say the same about the fish. that was my main disappointment with this venue was that all the sushi smelled super fishy....9_9 But it was a Sunday and it seemed like they were super duper busy...so I will give them the benefit of the doubt that it was an OFF night for them an give them another try next time I am in town... ta-ta

    The omakase, like Holly C had mentioned in her review, is indeed insane. We ordered 3 $100 omakase and watched teh sushi chefs prepared it while we sat at the sushi bar. The experience alone is something that can't be quantify in dollars, especially if you are a foodie and enjoy seeing food prepared artistically, as well as enjoying the delicious edible works of art. The starting price for omakase here is $100, and can go up from there. Seeing the results of the $300 omakse platter as we were exiting the restaurant, kind of reminds me of the feeling of watching the Food Network Challenges (I would love to be one of the tasting judges if they ever do an extreme sushi challenge). And in my opinion is an interesting and extravagant way of splitting a meal with friends or impressing potential clients. After the meal, you will definitely have something to talk about. The sushi here is good. Granted all the fish is trucked or flown in to the restaurant, just like for any other sushi restaurants in Las Vegas. But thus far the volume of customers that seemed to be served every time I walk past Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill (BRSBG) is pretty high, so the inventory of fish must be pretty fresh. The rolls here are good too, even though you will be paying a premium for it. The sushi chefs here are not too talkative. But we also didn't buy them sakes or beers, so that might have been a contributing factor. But they are skillful bunch and what they served up reminds me of the sushi I used to eat when I was much younger (presentation is still very much an important component of the food served). Our servers were good. As the food was served, they identify them so you don't have to guess what they are (especially since we really have no idea what is going to be served with the omakase order). Desserts is probably the only uninteresting part of the meal, as the selection was uninteresting and expensive (I'd rather walk to Bellagio or Aria and get some Jean Philippe Patisserie pastries or dessert crepes, and still pay less). I posted the pictures I took from the dinner, so if you want to get an idea of what you might expect from ordering the $100 omakase, please check them out. Decor: 4/5 Very nicely decorated. Price: 3/5 Expensive, but you do get what you pay for. Can't really compare the price to AYCE sushi restaurants. Food: 4/5 Very good. The uni and the amaebi are both very fresh (the shrimp was still swimming moments before it was plucked from the tank, prepped and served. Service: 4/5 Fine dining style of service. Parking: 3/5 Cosmopolitan is getting busier every time I go,so finding a good parking space seems to be harder and harder. But there is always the valet option. Location: 5/5 Right on the Strip. Perfect for tourists and locals having a fabulous night out on the Strip. Overall, a solid 4 stars from me.

    As a local, I have been to many sushi restaurants in the city. Some very expensive and some more reasonable. My advice is to skip this place and go to Sushi Kaya in Chinatown or go to Sushi Samba at the Palazzo. Went here with a friend to catch up and get some appetizers and drinks. The shumai (3 tiny pieces) was awful and it was ridiculously over-priced. The lychee martinis tasted like v8 juice and tasted nothing like lychee. The bill was close to $80 just for maybe 2 appetizers and two martinis. Will never come back here. To top it off, the bartenders were annoying and wouldn't leave us alone. Eat elsewhere! A buffet would have been a much better option had I known the prices were insane.

    Killer food!!! Love this place. I have cravings every other day for their chicken. If they has a drive through it would be open 24/7 The bone marrow is ridiculously delicious and so is the oxtail fried rice with the hot sauce. When they have the Shrimp special get it!! It's worth it!!! best times every at this restaurant

    Went on recommendation based on NYC location. We sat at the sushi bar which I always find interesting. All items were new as the menu tries to be unique. Tool awhile to place our order as we wanted to choose wisely. The waiter seemed more impatient than wanting to help. Nobody was disrespectful, but nobody went out of their way. Some of the choices were excellent: Kyuri Special was truly special. The tuna was amazing. Rest were good but not great and the price dictated that it be GREAT. We had in total 2 pieces of sushi, 5 rolls and 2 beers and a bill with tip of $135. Not sure if the best spend.

    What a great restaurant. Everything we tried was amazing. The atmosphere is great but not for those who like a quite dine. Our server was polite, attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We tried their famous fried chicken wings which were so good. They are a little spicy, but the overall flavor is amazing. I did try both dipping sauces, but I did not think they needed them. For dinner I got the Mahi Mahi which was very tasty and the rice was really good. My wife had the tiger shrimp roll and it was just what she wanted. The price points are little high, but the ambiance, the Hotel (Cosmopolitan), and the food make it worth it. We highly recommend and we will absolutely be back.

  • Charlie R.

    Great place. Service was great. Waiter was helpful. We had a tiger roll for starters. One of the best rolls I have had. We had the bone marrow app. Never had bone marrow before, so I have nothing to compare it to. It was OK. My wife had the fried chicken. Best fried chicken ever! I had the king crab truffle fried rice. Very pricey. It was good, but really just tasted like a mushroom risotto. The crab and truffles didn't fit in but bumped the price to $58. Should have ordered another awesome roll instead. We will be back!!

    LVRW2012: Restaurant Week, if for anything other than charity, is lightly considered an opportunity for people to experience a restaurant they wouldn't normally enjoy in their everyday life--usually for the first time. Diners often need an "excuse" to eat out and spend money frivolously; I am one of those diners. Because eating at a fine dining restaurant a few times a week, just because, is a ton of empty calories and quite time consuming. At first glance, Blue Ribbon's prix-fixed restaurant week menu stands out as "a good one." You have the choice of two apps for your first course, a taste of sushi, three entrees of which only one looks good, and a dessert. But that excitement is let down soon after the third course. The bisque was exceptional with large chunks of sweet, tender meat. The heat warmed the cloud of wasabi crème on the surface; when combined with the soup, it really complimented the lobster flavor. Upon further investigation, I found this is not on the regular menu. Generally, I'm against non-menu items on LVRW menus, but I was satisfied by this course. The spicy tuna roll was by the book. No disappointment, no intrigue. And as a pleasant surprise it was served alongside a piece of chutoro and hamachi. I'm not fond of amberjack but the tuna was pretty good. The pork cheek and trout entrees are not on the regular menu and everyone swoons over the "Blue Ribbon Style" fried chicken. At $26, this luxury fried chicken had the potential to be great. Its coated lightly with matzo meal and flour, then seasoned with a spice mix of togarashi, paprika, cayenne, and sea salt. Whatever unique, stand-out flavor I was searching for was overtaken by a vat of old oil. It was served with a dipping sauce made with--supposedly 'real'--wasabi and honey specially-imported from Mexico. Now that I would pour on just about anything but it just can't make-up for that stale oil taste. The chocolate bruno is rich, dense, and extremely chocolate-laden and was supposed to be served alongside a green tea ice cream. They were out of green tea and substituted chocolate ice cream without letting us know first. Just what I wanted, more chocolate. I sampled a bit of the gingerbread pudding. The clear winner of the two. Am I impressed? No. Would I go back? Yes, but only to settle the rumors that their oxtail fried rice is really the magnificent creature they say it is. After the fried chicken fail, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't worth the $30.

    Do I recommend Blue Ribbon Sushi? Sure - if you enjoy soggy sushi, unpleasantly rancid "fresh" fish, a lackluster atmosphere, and poor service from the beginning to end of your meal! For a swanky-looking restaurant in my favorite hotel in Vegas, I was utterly surprised and disappointed in the food I was served. This is by far one of the worst sushi restaurants I've ever been to.

  • Sean Z.

    I had a chance to try this well anticipated restaurant during the opening. The restaurant has an excellent atmosphere and great music. Seatings were very comfortable and laid back. But as a sushi bar, I didn't like the rolls that much; as they were filled with way too much rice. Nonetheless, the sashimi dishes were fresh. I've heard fried chicken is their speciality but unfortunately it was all sold out that night. Overall, I probably won't return again unless we have a group dinner for reunion or something.

  • Briana S.

    Wow, really surprised by the Yelp reviews here! After coming into town with my college pals for a birthday celebration, we decided to head here for dinner as two of my pals knew this place from NYC. It also fit the bill as two of them wanted steak, and two of us wanted sushi. Before you go any further, this is not your corner sushi restaurant. It's spendy, and it's great. Know that going in, and you won't be surprised. There are less expensive sushi restaurants--this is NOT one of them. Our server was Jason and he was fantastic. He checked in with us regularly, gave us his opinion when asked, but also offered up customer feedback (i.e. he might not be crazy about a dish personally, but shared with other customers thought). He also sent over the waiter who is a wine aficionado when we had a question about wines, making sure we had the best information. We were even allowed to sample the wines before making a final selection. T and I were in the sushi set, and we were thrilled with our meal. The fish is exceptionally fresh, and among the best I've ever had. Everything we had was good. The dishes we tried were: 1) Ebi Shumai (shared by all)... don't forget to dip in the ponzu, with a dash of hot mustard on the side 2) Edamame (shared by all): standard sushi bar fare, topped with chunky kosher salt Sushi menu: 1) KANI SUNOMONO (blue crab sunomono)--blue crap wrapped in cucumber with a vinegar sauce. Blue crab was amazing, but the flavor of the vinegar was lighter than I expected (compared to other sunomono). 2) SPICY TUNA & TEMPURA FLAKES-- The tempura flakes mixed into the spicy tuna was an unexpected and welcome twist on a sushi bar favorite. Tobiko is also mixed in. 3) UNA KYU (eel wrapped in cucumber)--never seen this presentation before, but it was a great contrast between the heated, tender, sweet eel, and the cool cucumber 4) Custom--the sushi chef prepared a spicy salmon roll in the same manner as the spicy tuna & tempura flake roll. This was the winner of the evening. 5) We also had a cooked fish dish, but I couldn't find it on the online menu to tell you more (sorry!) Yellowtail, I think? Our friends shared the 20 oz bone in rib eye, which was HUGE. T and I aren't red-meat eaters, so I can't give a personal commentary. But they ate every bite, and it was a good sharable dish for two women. The steak came with tempura onion rings, which were completely ridiculously awesome. That was shared by all. It was a generous side that wasn't finished by our table of four. It also came with a side of bok choi, which was good (not as ridiculous). They brought our birthday girl an amazing brownie topped with ice cream. The brownie had chocolate chips in it, and was fantastic. We ordered the mochi and shared that among the four of us. They even cut each piece of the four flavors into four so we could all try all flavors. Add in two bottles of wine and our total came to $330 (before tip). As I said, this place isn't inexpensive, and it's not your everyday restaurant. But for a great special occasion, this restaurant hit the mark on all levels, from service, to quality of food, to taste. I would definitely come again.

    WORST SUSHI OF MY LIFE SO FAR!! I seriously thought I was eating canned tuna wrapped in seaweed and rice. Not even presentation, just rolls on a piece of board. Payed 100 bucks for 8 tiny pieces of sushi. Miso soup was 7 bucks. I rather eat top roman than to go there again. Whoever gives more than 2 stars to this place has never had good sushi.

    Besides the location of the place, it's not somewhere I would personally go too. Overpriced and service is ok. But I will say this, the unfried fried rice is pretty good. Otherwise, it's really overpriced and the portion are small. It's over-rated due to the location...in a new hotel. Buffet sushi is just as equal...sorry hate to disappoint everyone about it!

    My gf and I had an amazing experience at Blue Ribbon. We eat a lot of sushi and I say this topped Nobu, Sushi Samba, Roku, and Koi. Sit at the bar and do the omakase. They have a great selection of fresh seafood and the sushi chefs are really friendly and will converse and explain every piece of sushi. They do an amazing job at plating here as well... we had the most beautiful plate of sushi which was surrounded by flowers and a filleted fish. We enjoyed everything except the Blue Ribbon Roll... overrated at $30/roll.

    A sushi bar with a DJ? I'm not 100 percent sure how I feel about that. After shopping, my co-worker and I were needing some healthy fare and a drink. The restaurant doesn't have that many tables, and looks as though it fills up quickly. We made our way to the bar and ordered a couple of rolls and a cucumber salad. The fish was very fresh, and the rolls were tasty. The bar had three japanese beers on tap, and plenty more in the bottle. While we ate an escort was laughing it up with the guy sitting next to us, so that was extremely entertaining and only added to the vegas-style atmosphere.

    The chicken and the honey wasabi sauce is like crack. Love going here for the fried chicken. It is a bit pricey so if you are going the chicken, go after 10pm for the late night specials. Took my girl there and she enjoyed the oxtail fried rice, which isn't bad but is very pricey compared to what you can get else where. Overall it's a nice environment to bring your date to and start your night. Sushi quality didn't equal the price but hey I just went for the chicken wings. Service was good. Be prepared to spend big if you like to eat a lot.

    I was still quite hungry after leaving Jaleo, so I stopped by here next door since I was still in the mood for sushi. The prices for the rolls here are a bit steep, but the quality and presentation is actually quite good. Though, if you had to tell me that box sushi was just rectangular maki, I probably wouldn't have cared. The service and the atmosphere were pretty decent, as is to follow the modernism of the Cosmo.

    cool spot, had the munchi's after marquee and ran into this place... =P We sat at the sushi bar... Only order some spicy something roll which was GOOD, 6-pieces of yummyness. very nice place, decor is great(pretty much thats the theme of everything in the cosmopolitan 'the decor is great!' haha). if you sit at the sushi bar on a fri or sat. at 1sh am... there will be a party outside and really looks like MTV Real World is happening rite behind you... with people playing pool, lounging, drinking, and eating pizzas all while music fills the air... YUM w/ FUN

    I am a regular at the Midtown NY Blue Ribbon and this is not in the same league, at least for sushi. The freshness and cut of the fish at the BR LV are what you'd expect from a low-priced NY sushi joint. Not terrible, but nothing like the sky-high prices would indicate. The tuna wasn't cut properly and none of the fish tasted truly fresh. The chef slathered lemons all over my sashimi to cover up the so-so fish; truly fresh fish doesn't need this ruse, and the NY Blue Ribbons use it sparingly. The service was not bad, not great, and the drinks were cloyingly sweet and stingily poured. And the price was a little higher than NY. Is this just how Vegas is?

    This spot is tucked away in the corner of the top level of the Cosmopolitan's restaurant row. Glad we found it. It was pretty packed for a Tuesday night, but we were happy to sit at the bar. I'd make a reservation if you have more than a couple people, though. Bartenders were casual and attentive. They did charge $17 a bottle for Orion beer (ouch) but with Asahi on tap, I had a decent fall-back. We started off with the edamame. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Then, in a sushi joint, I decide to order fried chicken (I don't even go to KFC), but figured it had to be good, or at least interesting, to be sitting on their menu. And you know, Vegas. Best decision of the night, bar none. It's actually the 9 piece Bucket O' Wings, i.e. Fried Chicken "Blue Ribbon Style" with Shichimi Pepper & Wasabi Honey dipping sauces. I highly recommend it if you're not in the mood to fill up on sushi. Crispy, but still moist, the flavor of the chicken, alone, is fantastic. Add the sauces? Amazing. My wife tried the Pan Seared Scallops, w/ Hearts of Palm w/ Myoga Salad & Brown Butter Ponzu. Scallops cooked perfectly. This was a light, flavorful counter to my comfort meal, so we traded dishes often. She then offered to trade one scallop straight up for two pieces of my chicken. I think she likely got the better end of the deal, but I didn't complain. The ponzu was all mine at that point too. Very tasty. It's definitely worth checking out. Prices are a little up there, but the atmosphere is casual and the food worth the trip.

    Sushi at the O-K Corral. Spaghetti western, maybe? None of it made sense until the food started coming and then I was hooked. Imaginative, delicious sushi in a hip, almost rustic room with a DJ. My head was spinning - in a good way.

    20 years dinning at sushi restaurants and this place makes the list as the most destructive. I cater sushi, been making it for 20 years, buy fish from all over the world. Blue Ribbon is an establishment whose sole agenda is to con you into spending $200+ for a basic meal. It's Vegas, likely your pumped up on adrenaline or alcohol and you do not notice a serving of $8 salmon is ONE PIECE. Normally it is two pieces. $16 for an average serving of farm raised salmon is a crime. Most I have seen it, wild, primo, is $8. I can buy super premium salmon from New Zealand for $20/lb, that is 16 $8 servings at Blue Ribbon !!! For better fish !!!!! What I have expressed so far is just the beginning of YOUR bad experience here. The Sake appeared to be watered down with added sugar. I make my own Sake, I understand the product. And a GLASS of Sake is a SHOT GLASS for $15. This is also a crime against the customer. In addition what I ordered was not delivered. The chef serves the profit, NOT YOU, and when confronted BS's you into shutting up. Except in my case I understand Japanese food. This place should be avoided at all cost. You will wake up in the morning upset and feeling used - because you WERE USED. I have never been taken advantage of more then this scam house. My experience in Vegas was damaged.

    We are frequent visitors of Vegas and like to try new places, well what a disappointment this was, the place when you walk in looks very nice, ambience is great, definitely looks like a high end place, until you see that all servers are wearing plaid shirts, jeans, shorts, etc... Basically they have no dress code which was a total shocker. We sat down, looked at the menu, ordered a few different things , 1 was the tartar, which came with a raw quail egg and it was blahhhhh... I had to return it, mind u there was a new person coming up each time, so we didn't know who exactly we were looking for when we needed something, the sushi definitely was not impressive and we left disappointed and hungry, and paid over $200, for a price like that I expect much more. Definitely will not return there again!

    My best friend swears by this place and kept telling me it was one of her favorites from New York and they built one in Vegas. So when we were in Vegas for a weekend, we decided to try this place out. Honestly, I don't know what the hype is all about. I have to say that their hot dishes are amazing and their beef tongue and yellowtail collar dishes were the best of the night. But their maki rolls were TERRIBLE! The size of the rolls were small and they were not good at all. I don't understand why they have to charge an arm and a leg for terrible sushi. We also ordered their Sake Tataki (Salmon Tartare with a Quail Egg) which was average. The dish was super small and nothing that special. It's served with aged soy sauce that you mix with wasabi and scallions and honestly, there really was no taste to it. If you want to go there for the hype and to check it out, I would only recommend to go for just the hot dishes like the beef dishes and the bone marrow (which was amazing). But other than that, I would not go for the sushi. We didn't try their sashimi so I can't say anything about that but either way, I think I got food poisoning here too because my stomach did not feel well that night after eating dinner at this place. I normally like to eat at upscale restaurants and I'm used to having small dishes served at an expensive price but this place was definitely not worth it in my opinion. I would probably skip it. There are plenty of other upscale nice restaurants in Vegas with better food for the same price. Why pay so much for crappy food with small micro sized portions?

    Sad to say I have to only give this 3-stars. I've heard great things about this place and was excited after seeing it on Top Chef Masters this past season. I went sushi-only with a colleague. 3 rolls and 2 sashimi apps. What was good - spicy scallop roll and tuni sashimi app (w. garlic chips) What was disappointing - hamachi sashimi app (I've had better many other places, the ponzu/jalapeno wasn't well balanced) expensive rolls for only 6 pieces!! lack of creativity or interesting roll pairings disappointing service - awkward service, I asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail and he offered no suggestions I was in the middle of marathon training and knowing I would have to eat at least double what we had already eaten, we ended up leaving and going to china poblano for more food (see my review there!) For the price this place definitely isn't worth it. At these prices I would expect to get blown away.

    Awesome, very fast and friendly service, very good menu and the fish was very fresh. Went after show on Saturday night of Labor Day weekend.

    Love coming here whenever I am in town. The fish is extremely fresh and the edamame is some of the best I have ever had. The only reason I give it three stars is because it is quite pricey, I have never left paying less than $100 for two people.

    Was there over the weekend. Finally tried the sushi here. We were a young crowd of 4. First, didn't get good service. Second, sushi was not as good compared to its price. Average sushi we ordered was $28 to $33 rolls. Lets just say out of 8 rolls we ordered only the dragon roll was decent. Won't be going in for sushi again. Rather pay $80-$100 for great stake.

    Was in town for a business conference. Decided to eat at Blue Ribbon before going to see Jersey Boys. Ordered the Filet of beef with Japanese sweet potato. The beef (grass fed) was perfectly cooked had amazing flavor, potatoes were delicious as well. Wife had short ribs with celery root puree, also delicious and very tender. Desert was a perfect cap on the dinner. Bread pudding with carmel sauce and ginger ice cream. One of the best bread puddings I have had.

    I thought this would make a great place when my friends staying at Vdara wanted to do sushi. But when we sat down and were handed menus...they were asking where the pencil and checklist were. Realizing these guys were not sushi connoisseurs whatsover we almost bailed and went to Sushi Mon. The ambiance was great though and the cocktails convinced us to stay. Glad we did. I am so anti getting edamame at restaurants it's not even funny. Why would you pay $4+ for a little bowl when you can buy a whole bag for less and eat it at home? But that's the first thing my buddy orders...go knock yourself out man..for $8! I had a couple of them and it was ridiculous. If I'm paying that much for edamame..it should be at least served cold like in real Japanese restaurants and not straight out of a boiling pot. Give me a break. AYCE places whatever...I always assume it'll be served hot but $8 in a place like this?!? Its just the principal itself goddamit!! Anyways...the quality of fish was outstanding. The maguro served had that really deep red color I sometimes dream about. I savored every single piece of sushi and sashimi I had. I was also eyeballing some really cool items I plan on ordering in the future with sushi snobs like the lobster sashimi. I will certainly be doing the omakase next time I'm here.

  • Lin L.

    I am a fan of the ambiance, the food is good but in comparison to their price I was expecting better. and their portion was way too small, it does fill me up because I don't eat much anyways. but you are use to big portion meals, Hunny u better expect at least $150 per person without the drinks. but the presentation of the food was great.. its almost too freakin cute all I'm thinking is really? this is my tiger roll? a lil tiny 6 piece sushi, even my wasabi & ginger was bigger than that -_- ... But i did have a new discovery, thanks to this place I discovered my new fav. drink. "benzai bunny sparking sake white peach flavor" mmm mmm mmm!!!!! i can down few bottles of that ... the ambience is trendy says on yelp, but honestly it was more casual... I've seen ppl dressed up in t-shirt, jeans, and jersey's... theres a TV right behind and above my head playing basketball games.. I see my friend being distracted by the game couple times smh lol....

    Dropped by Blue Ribbon late night (10:30ish) to grab a quick bite with my friend that had just arrived in town straight off the plane with an appetite. They were able to accomidate us right away and seat us at the sushi bar. Everything seemed fresh, they had some fun and unique rolls on their menu we tried a few of those and the sushi chefs were kind enought to make us up a few "special" things not on their menu. Good service and good food, I would definately reccomend to a friend or fellow Yelp'ers. FYI located inside the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino

  • Clint B.

    Make no mistake, this place is pricey. Unless you're a serious baller (like the Green Bay Packer players we saw rolling out of here) you're going to feel the hurt when paying your bill. With that little detail out of the way, Blue Ribbon is worth checking out. The place has a modern Japanese feel and is divided up into three areas. When you first enter there's a small sushi bar to the right. Past that is a spacious lounge and bar area. Beyond that is the main dining area with a larger, U-shaped sushi bar. The tables in the main dining area are rather intimate, with many booths lining the walls and tables that are separated by thin wood dividers. So, if you're looking for a place where you can have some personal space and are more than 6 inches away from the nearest diner, then this is the place for you. Service was spotty. Our server was nice enough, he just didn't seem to know what was on the menu and couldn't recommend anything. Luckily, one of the managers came by to suggest a few items. Although he was casually dressed in jeans and a polo shirt so when he first came up to chat I thought it was just some random dude wanting to talk about the menu. Here's what we ended up ordering: Tuna sashimi. 2 pieces. Pricey, but deliciously fatty and silky smooth. Possibly some of the best tuna sashimi I've had in the city. Kanpachi - Amberjack with yuzu pepper. The order came with eight slices of fish with the yuzu sauce poured tableside. Smoked pork belly kushi yaki with pickled onions and baby watercress. Two decent cuts of pork with a nice amount of fat that added to the richness of the flavor. Negimaki - broiled beef with scallions and enoki mushrooms. It was a cute looking dish with eight slices of beef wrapped around the scallions and mushrooms. It was a good, savory dish with a hint of sweetness from its sauce, but probably not something I would order again. Miso marinated black cod. Two sizable pieces of fish per order. You usually can't go wrong with miso black cod, but I've had better. The piece that I had had a slight fishy taste and smell. Crab and truffle fried rice. The menu says it's $55 per order. That's ridiculous for any type of fried rice, but since everyone seems to rave about Blue Ribbon's fried rice we gave it a try. The manager said we could get a half order. Perfect! There were plenty of chunks of crab and mushrooms and slices of truffle. Definitely the best fried rice I've had, just don't tell my mom that (sorry mom, your fried rice has been bumped down to number two).

    Planning for which restaurants to check out for our Vegas trip led to the BF showing me several menus to choose from. I have to say they had me at the $55 fried rice with blue crab and truffle topped with an egg that you mixed. This was so heavy that we had to pass on dessert, but it was well worth it. Other dishes we had: -Enoki & hamachi maki roll --had to try it being a huge fan of hamachi, which is my favorite sashimi, and who doesn't like mushrooms. I knew I had to order something small so that I could make room for the delicious $55 fried rice. -Sushi deluxe provides 10 pieces of nigiri pieces along with a roll of your choice, of course, we picked Spicy tuna --Spicy tuna had a nice heat to it. Again, Vegas is always booming with new restaurants, but this is one of those places that I would visit again and try other dishes --even possibly a different type of fried rice.

  • Cynthia C.

    BR does not even deserve an honorable mention. But of course I must spill the beans. First of all, the ambiance does not have the feeling of a high end Japanese restaurant and yes, I want my servers to be Japanese. Yes I know Vegas is a desert, but c'mon $15 for a slice of chutoro AND it's cut wrong?!?! More lowlights: The maki had undercooked, underseasoned rice & the nori was chewy. Ugh. Aji was lackluster and had no flavor. Salad was over dressed. The desserts were montrosities and not appetizing. Espresso was bitter. The few highlights: Super fragrant and earthy Crab truffle fried rice and Chef let us substitute with brown rice. Really good miso cod, perfectly buttery. Fresh hamachi in the tartare, but no dimension or texture to the flavors. Our bottle of Demon Slayer was excellent as usual, but certainly did not save this meal. So not worth the $450 pricetag.

    I ventured on the path I said I would never venture back down again...Chef's Choice. The presentation was incredible, the sushi phenomenal, all around fantastic experience. I'm so glad I opted to allow the chef to prepare, we ate fish we would have never ordered on our own. Champagne was great, sushi to die for, and dessert and red wine topped the night off at 5*****s. Service was amazing, and I loved the casual atmosphere!

    The omakase here is just crazy. I highly recommend it. I came here with Tony T. and at first I was a little confused about how this whole omakase thing was going to work. I'm used to just getting individual plates, like a tasting menu. But here they make a huge platter of sashimi. We got them to split the platter three ways between us, which was good. Otherwise it would have been interesting to navigate the platter at the sushi bar. If you look at the pictures, the platter is pretty intricate and doesn't look entirely stable. The sashimi platter comes with Aji and the actual fish bones and head that the Aji sashimi was made from. Once you are done, they take that back and fry it and serve it to you. It was pretty good. I've had better at other restaurants. It usually works better when the fish is smaller. This fish was pretty big. After that, they bring out one huge platter of nigiri, which I wasn't expecting. One or two pieces for each diner. And it includes toro, which is the best toro I've ever had. The shrimp nigiri was really fresh - you can see the shrimp behind the counter alive and kicking it. The wasabi is pretty fresh, but not as fresh as Bar Masa. Still, pretty good. With three people at the sushi bar, you have to push the platter around so everyone can reach everything. The cocktails were pretty good. I had an Off the Road, which is a tequila cocktail. My husband had the White Oak, which he enjoyed as well. And this is the only place on the west coast that has Hitachino beer on tap. It's a nice IPA style beer. A little expensive at $15 a pint, but still pretty good. The dessert list was a little lacking (and expensive) so we ended up going to Holsteins for shakes. Service was good and the omakase is impressive, visually and taste wise. I'll give it 4 stars because it's a little expensive at $100 a person and, according to the menu, they could charge more if they give you something really special on a whim. I think you can still get omakase at Sen of Japan for $85/person. But definitely something to try at least once. Tony has better pictures than I do, so hopefully he will post them. Some of the platters other people got in the restaurant who were doing omakase for 6 were pretty insane and he got pics of that.

    Another great late night bite. Excellent service and selection are worth the heavier premuim price points of this centrally located sushi favorite. We have not had a single bad experience at Blue Ribbon. he bar staff in particular are attentive and personable and the entire restaraunt staff is on the ball throughout your entire experience. Their extended hours make this a favorite of ours and many others in "the know."

    I don't eat seafood, so a sushi restaurant isn't usually my type of place. I was with a group on this trip, so my food choices were over ruled by 5 others. I entered into Blue Ribbon scared and concerned. Scared because I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into and concerned that I would leave hungry. I am happy to report however that not only were my worries unfounded but I actually really liked this restaurant too. Like I said, I don't eat fish... I mean none. As a group we ordered appetizers, I only was able to try one non-seafood item, the meatballs, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good they were. As my table ordered many sushi plates to share, I ordered my entrée. I chose the filet with mashed sweet potatoes, this was one of the best filets I have ever had. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium per my request, seasoned well, and the sauce that was served on the steak was very tasty as too. The sweet potatoes were creamy and delicious. The server at our table was very attentive. We never had to wait for our waters be refilled or for new drink orders to be taken. He also provided great insight into the menu and helped the table decide what we might like. He really knew the menu well and was very helpful. I highly recommend Blue Ribbon for both the food and service. Who knew a non-seafood eater would love a sushi restaurant so much. I'm looking forward to going back again anytime.

    The best fried chicken anywhere!!! It's found under the Fryer and Tempura section of the menu and is referred to as "Blue Ribbon style". Although the restaurant serves predominantly sushi, on my last 2 visits to Vegas, I made sure I dropped by for this unique dish. You get 3 large pieces of chicken that have the most amazing (non-greasy) crispy and tasty coating. Once you bite through the skin, you're met with an explosion of tender white juicy meat. You can dip the chicken in the Wasabi and honey sauce (it comes with) but I find the chicken stands very well on its own. Well, it doesn't literally stand on its own but you know what I mean. The Cosmopolitan is worth a visit just for this treat alone. Oh yes, the service is friendly and prompt, and, I love watching the sushi "maker" guys while I wait (and salivate) for my fried chicken!!! A half bottle of red wine and fried chicken. That's sinful, isn't it?

    Delicious. We were uncertain as to what we wanted to order so we asked our waiter what to get. He ended up just bringing us some delicious entrees. We had a lot of the spicy tuna dishes and the warm dishes, of course I can't remember what they were now, but SO delicious!!!! Everything they brought us was extremely fresh and had a lot of flavor. They brought us some kind of tuna sashimi with a bit of a carpaccio tasting thing, so good. Every single thing we had was fantastic. Go here, you won't be disappointed. Great ambiance with great service. :)

    The menu is vast and somewhat confusing. After a mushy roll, we opted for 18-piece sashimi and it was very good. Prices are high, not sure about others in LV. We asked for lounge seating but moved quickly to the bar for better atmosphere. Great beats on the audio. Chefs were friendly and took our nosy gaijin questions.

    Saying the sushi here is overpriced is an understatement. Especially in a town that has plenty of great local sushi places. Service was a tad overbearing. Asked the waiter to give us something different, he brought us california rolls with real crab. Meh.

    I was in Vegas for work and we went here because we were all craving sushi and also staying in the Cosmopolitan. We ordered the rock shrimp the assorted pickled veggies. The rock shrimp was awesome but the pickled veggies were a little too salty for my taste. Since it was Vegas we decided to order the Blue Ribbon Special Platter. It came to us on a long wooden platter and it was beautifully arranged. I have no idea what was on it, but everything was simply amazing. I do remember the Dragon Roll however, since we had another order of those. That roll was the single best sushi roll I have ever had. It was really fresh and delicious. Save some money and then go to this place. It is worth it!!

    Come here often and never let down by anything. Staff is very friendly. Service is good. Food is top quality and expensive but what would you expect being that it's inside the Cosmopolitan? They produce their very own soy sauce so think about that when you taste it. It definitely isn't the stuff you find at the market. Oxtail rice dish, freshest uni, chicken wings, bone marrow, bread pudding, oyster shooters, and assortment of sashimi are my favorites. Make sure to get reservations in early because they are typically booked solid.

    Fried chicken was piping hot and had a great crust. Did not love the dipping sauces though. Bone marrow appetizer was mediocre and despite the size of the bone, the amount and flavor of marrow was not impressive. The toasts they came with also left something to be desired. The sushi platter that we had - which was enormous, and if I had to guess, had around 50-60 pieces of sushi, sashimi, and rolls, was very fresh and tasty. Uzu cocktails were enjoyed by all. Service was standard and helpful. Prices were standard a la Vegas. The interior was not as Vegas-style ritzy as I had hoped, but cozy, dark, and intimate.

    first off, i absolutely HATE giving bad reviews but i feel, in this case, that i need to warn away future diners... the hubby and i ate here when we stayed at the cosmopolitan in early january. we ordered the omakase and spent the entire following day on the porcelain throne. $300 down the toilet....literally. 'nuff said.

    Great place. I love sushi and am a a complete snob when it comes to the cuisine. Blue Ribbon was a memorable experience from pre-dinner drinks through some apps at the table, some sake, and omakase. If you are in a group and OK spending money on good sushi, the omakase is a good way to go, ordering every single item a la carte takes a while to figure out what you want. With Omakase, the chef does all of the work. Service was fantastic. They offered to split our omakase into two deliveries so we could enjoy a little bit of a longer meal and also not have to have our table crowded. The Cosmopolitan hotel is incredible and this is a great place to spend an evening.

    Place was very convenient for us since we were staying in Cosmopolitan, but that's about the only good thing I can say about this place. The service was decent, but not what I would expect from a high end restaurant at all. We had the Sushi platter (about 10 piece i think), Sashimi platter (around 10 piece) , Beef Fried rice, and fried oysters. About $200 with couple of beers. The quality and freshness of the fish was on par with my local places (san ramon, ca) at about a fifth of the price. I had some good fish in San Francisco in a similar price range, and this place does not hold candle to it at all. Perhaps I didn't drink enough to dull my taste buds...

    Read a few spotty reviews and was prepared for a let down. NO WAY, the sushi was great! Fried chicken with honey wasabi awesome! Service stellar! Sat at the bar and asked the bartender to put together dinner for me and wave after wave of tasty plates washed over me. Two drinks, 4 plates, and $95 later I was beyond happy with my Blue Ribbon experience. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the Cosmo or near by.

    This place is sooooo good. I'm an avid sushi eater and once the waiter placed that tuna sashimi in front of my friend and I we were literally drooling. Everything was delicious and service was awesome. The sushi chefs are such dorks and really entertaining. But take into consideration I ate here in my party clothes at like 2 a.m after stepping out of Marquee to get a bite, but I would definitely come back again for a nice dinner. It's a bit pricey, but for the quality it's well worth it. It was so fresh it's like they just caught it 5 minutes before and then served it to me.

    One of my favorite restaurants on the strips well when I win from gambling ;) pricey but you are at the Cosmo so that's a given. Laid back and chill atmosphere, awesome staff and friendly chefs. Must try - bone marrow, bone marrow fried rice, wagyu beef pieces and the sashimi! They are also known for their chicken, won awards in NY. Many people do not know that this is their 3rd location and the only one outside NY. If you are daring enough they have an extensive selection of sake!

    Have you ever heard really great things about someone's older sibling yet, when you meet the younger sibling you realize the apple fell a little far from the tree? Ok maybe I am channeling a prior bad blind date here but, thats the best comparison I can give. Vegas has a wave of sister venues from all over the world and the real trick is how getting them to stack up to the original and yet still retain an identity of their own. The Cosmopolitan hotel has a few of these places and most are trying to find their identity. I hit the place up on a weeknight and the place was busy with a dark but, warm environment, loud music (just a tad to loud actually I had to yell to chat with my dinner companion) and a casually dressed staff. Table wait time was about 15 minutes so I decided to hit the bar. The menu had an impressive selection and the bartenders were on top of their game. The one comment I have is that the drinks seemed a little weak. This is also where things got a little odd as when I checked the time (25 mins.) I had to walk up to the reception podium to check on my table time they said it was ready. I closed out my tab and the bartender commented "Oh yeah its been ready for a while". Seems like a really odd thing to not communicate! Looking over the menu their is a fun variety of higher end food options and my server made a variety of suggestions. The menu was definitely on the higher end of the price spectrum. I mean wasabi friend chicken shouldn't approach the $40 mark. But the variety of things I sampled (Toro, Wagyu Beef Fried Rice, and the Spicy Crab Roll) all tasted fine. But, I guess thats my point they weren't great. At this price point and with this pedigree it should be kinda awesome. Not to mention when I asked for the cocktail menu halfway through the meal to try something else it was never delivered. Frankly I decided to cut my losses and head somewhere else. I cant say I would really recommend this place to anyone off hand. I mean maybe if you were on a company expense account and needed to show off at the cosmo it would do. If I return here again I will head straight for the sushi bar and see if my experience changes. I have heard nothing but, great things about this venue's sibling in NY maybe I should just stick to the original.

    What a disappointment. As Priscilla (hiiiii Priscilla!! ) said below. It was my 21st birthday and I wanted to have dinner here with some close friends and family. Not only are the portions extremely small but when you ask a waiter/waitress about what an item is on the menu, it may not be what they described it to be. The service was horrible! The nerve of one of the waitresses to ask ME, THE BIRTHDAY GIRL if I'd like the cake now or later. First off, I didn't even know my sister went out of her way to get a cake for me and they ruin the surprise by not asking who the birthday girl is to make sure not to ask her (me). In fact, I think later on during the night, they still didn't know! They were about the put down the cake in front of my sister instead of me! The environment may be the only thing that is great about this place. You can't really complain about the price because well.. its Vegas! I would NOT recommend coming here unless its a small party and you don't really mind crappy service. Our group of 14 had to wait a good 40 minutes for the food to arrive, only to be looking at a half empty plate that cost $50. Overall: Food: B (The salmon was fresh everything else was meh) Service: F Environment: A Would I ever come back? NO!

    I'm not someone who blows a lot of dough on these overpriced restaurants in the strip hotels, but this time, it was a paid meal for a business meeting with only 3 people, so I jumped at the opportunity to try this place out as the Cosmo's restaurants seem to maintain high quality although overpriced as expected. I would usually sit at the counter and talk to the chef, but my party was 3 and they were already seated at the table, so I went with the flow. When I first read about the blue ribbon restaurants originating in NYC opened by a couple of jewish restauranteurs...I wasn't so sure about this place. Besides, no authentic sushi chef would ever name their sushi restaurant "blue ribbon". However, my worries were whisked away as soon as I opened the menu filled with mostly old school sushi and appetizers. Yeah, there were a few fru-fru rolls and wagyu just so that non-sushi eating americans can still enjoy the meal, but the menu was appealing and mouthwatering for the most part. When going to a sushi restaurant, it's always best to go with "omakase". I talked to the waiter who really couldn't tell me that much about the omakase, so I asked who the Japanese sushi chefs were, and 3 out of the 4 chefs at the tsukeba were Japanese (a good sign), and the waiter led me to the head sushi chef. So I asked what his recommendations were today, which were botan-ebi, uni, aji, and sakuradai...very good, and when I asked him if those would be included in the omakase and he confirmed, so I went with the $100 omakase. He seemed a bit surprised that I spoke to him in Japanese as I was in a group with 2 caucasians, but it's always good to talk to the chef in Japanese to: 1) make sure that the chef is Japanese and 2) to let them know that you are Japanese because really... you can't screw around with Japanese customers who know their stuff. We started out with some Kumamoto oysters on the half shell with ponzu....excellent (not part of omakase), and then we got a HUGE plate of sashimi consisting of: uni, ikura,, scallops, sakura-dai, aji, hirame, seared salmon, blue fin tuna, isaki, hamachi, and botan-ebi (I may have missed a couple). This was pretty impressively presented on a plate that must have been about 2 feet long. It was an omakase order for 2 people. The waiter actually asked us if we wanted two identical plates or one big plate with more varieties and I was glad that we went with the latter. It was truly a HUGE spread and every sashimi was impressively fresh and delicious. I was especially surprised that they had a quite a bit of white fish, which is more of an acquired taste as you are tasting more of the amino acid/protein rather than fat. I feel that talking to the chef beforehand had something to do with that, as most Americans would not know what they were eating and probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much. Then we had a large sushi plate with blue fin tuna, kanpachi, salmon, giant clam, king crab legs, spicy crab roll and some other fancy roll. Overall, excellent sushi/sashimi with a quality that surpassed my expectations. I would have preferred to have had a few more nigiri's instead of those Americanized rolls, but I would say that it was an excellent meal overall As for pricing...$100+tax+tip seems a bit on the expensive side. Would I go back on my own dime? Hmmm.....that's hard to say, but I'd rather spend $100 on what I ate today than $100 on an overpriced steak restaurant on every other big casino on the strip. If there is a next time, I would sit at the counter and have my nigiri made one at a time while talking with the chef. That's how sushi should be eaten.

    december 2011 We've stopped by this restaurant attracted by the classy look. We were expecting a high price and from this point of view we were not let down. However, with the experience of sushi from Japan and being a frequent sushi eater in california, the quality was absolutely NOT matching the price. First of all, sashimi does not come in thin slices. Second, 8-15$ for ONE piece, where everyone else in the world serves TWO pieces of sashimi per order, is definitely making fun of customers. Third: you want to pretend (yes pretend) to be an upper class japanese restaurant with high prices and yet you serve thin slices of farmed salmon for 8.5$? Farmed salmon? seriously? You can easily find much better places, quality wise and pricewise. Honestly I will not suggest any of my friends to go there. This place in my opinion is pretentiously overrated and robbing customers.

    It's fresh, but I don't see anything spectacular or anything to write home about and it's super duper pricey! Their nigiri is priced per piece!!! I've had way better and at a much lower cost. The servers sound knowledgeable, but then she does not have experience in eating sushi as much as I do and her recommendations were just so-so. I dont think I will venture back here. Sushi Samba at Palazzo was much better.

    REALLY recommend this place for a sushi night in Vegas! If you are into rolls, funky dishes, go to others like Nobu. But if you are into simply EXCELLENT quality fish, go directly to Blue Ribbon! We tried it on a whim (on a Sunday to boot - shame, shame) and yet it was still thoroughly impressive. Not as expensive as the Omakase I've had at most places of this ilk in LA, and yet shockingly higher-quality fish than nearly all of said LA joints! The chef even had to work around an allergy of mine, and did so brilliantly. Knowledgable, friendly staff. Excellent sake selections. Overall, both my bf and I were thoroughly impressed. We will visit again and again, without a doubt.

    I ate here a year or two ago and totally forgot to write a review until I went to Vegas recently and saw this place again. From what I remembered, it was pretty expensive (just like any Vegas restaurant would be) and was just okay. If it was great, then I would have remembered. We ordered standard rolls (spicy tuna, spicy lobster roll), sashimi, miso soups, etc. Service was friendly and fast

    So sad to only give this place 3 stars. But please note - we only came here for dessert. My boyfriend and I LOVE both Blue Ribbon Sushi and Blue Ribbon Restaurant in NYC. I've been going to both places there for years and every time I go home to visit it's a must-do on my list. I am beyond obsessed with the green tea creme brulee. It is by far my favorite dessert of all time and no other dessert has ever come close. Unfortunately, when we went to Blue Ribbon in Las Vegas I was so disappointed! The creme brulee was horrible. The sugar on top was way too thick and crunchy and the actual custard below was curdling because it had been overcooked. It didn't have that smooth creamy texture to it like it always does at the NY location. I was so bummed. In all honesty, I was looking forward my little bowl of heaven in the city of sin :( I really hope this was a one-time thing, but if not I guess I'll have to wait till I go back home each time. Booooooo.

    I think I split the Omakase platter here with at least one person. It was really good, but was it worth the price tag? I don't know. Maybe I'm spoiled living in San Francisco, being able to get good sushi for significantly lower prices. I liked the atmosphere in this place, much nicer than Jaleo, where we went the following night.

    This was the first place my wife and I went to on our honeymoon, as we are both big sushi/japanese cuisine fans. We were staying at the Cosmo, and we wanted to start out on a high note for what was to be a week of incredible eating. Blue Ribbon ended up being the low point of all of our meals. Yes, we got a free dessert for being on our honeymoon (a nice touch, but a common one as we learned throughout the week), but aside from a couple real highlights (the live scallop served in it's shell, the uni wrapped in snapper and topped with shisho & caviar), everything else didn't really wow us and at a place like this, it should have. It wasn't bad or anything, but it definitely wasn't worth the $320 we dropped (we have no issue with dropping $$$$ on sushi when it's worth it). Good quality, but not jaw-dropping, and definitely not on the level of other restaurants at the Cosmo (I'm looking at you, Scarpetta). We were considering going all out for the omakase there, but the server really didn't try to sell us on it at all. "Oh, you know, it comes with tuna, salmon... toro, that kind of stuff." Really? That's the best way you can describe the expensive omakase to me? No highlighting of special fish, unique choices, anything like that? Thanks, but no thanks. Luckily all of our other experiences at the Cosmo only went up from here. Next time we're in Vegas, we'll make sure to venture out to Raku, which apparently is *the* spot for locals when it comes to Japanese food.

    Overpriced sushi and appetizers, most rolls you could get at another restaurant for a third of the priceas here and it would be just as good. The wait staff was a bit OCD about keeping our table neat and orderly. They came by half a dozen times to straighten plates, pick up straw and chopsticks wrappers, wipe drippies off the table, and etc.They were nice though. Lychee martini was good tho!

  • Corwin M.

    Strange as it may seem, I went to Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar and Grill and had only a couple of pieces of sushi. Instead of ordering things I could get elsewhere I asked our server what he enjoyed. He suggested the Oxtail Fried Rice and the Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken. Interesting... I ordered what he suggested and it was awesome. The fried chicken came with a wasabi honey sauce served on the side. Really quite an interesting take on fusion cuisine. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes fried chicken as something new that has a really good chance of catching on. The fried rice was something totally different altogether. On top of the fried rice was what could only be described as a thin egg omelet pouch filled with liquid bone marrow goodness. As instructed I broke open the pouch and mixed it together with the fried rice and it was absolutely awesome! While this is in NO WAY healthy it was really really TASTY. The sushi was priced a bit high and I guess is what I expected from a sushi place on the strip. They did have an interesting offering...a spicy lobster roll. I ordered it and it was pretty good but probably not what people expect for a small roll that costs more than 10 bucks. I'll definitely be back to try different things. I found the service to be attentive and helpful and would easily recommend it to anyone visiting the Cosmopolitan or Las Vegas in general. If I could, I'd give the Oxtail Fried Rice a five star rating all by itself!

    I was really torn between 4 and 5 stars. I would say 4.5 would be perfect. Not the best I have ever had, but certainly one of the better sushi restaurants in Las Vegas. I will definitely return. Food and service will all wonderful.
