Best of Brooklyn: Sushi
We’ve been craving sushi for days, but we’re thinking about straying from our go-to spots. Can anybody weigh in on the best sushi restaurant in Brooklyn? The succulent pieces depicted above come from the open kitchen of Blue Ribbon Sushi (278 5th Avenue between 1st Street and Garfield Place in Park Slope), which is definitely…

The succulent pieces depicted above come from the open kitchen of Blue Ribbon Sushi (278 5th Avenue between 1st Street and Garfield Place in Park Slope), which is definitely a candidate. For fun, inventive rolls and a relaxed atmosphere, we also love Cube 63 (234 Court Street at Baltic in Cobble Hill). Cube’s volacano roll (crab and shrimp in a spicy sauce) always has us coming back for more, and they occasionally infuse their drinking water with cucumbers and limes — a perfectly refreshing complement.

I have to say that Ki Sushi is the best. Osaka on Court is good, but Ki is I am pretty sure the most amazing sushi that I have ever had. This includes all the west coast sushi, which usually trumps the east coast. Taro is also good for freshness and price, but there specialty roll are not that great, especially their dragon roll.
Ki Sushi is very fresh, has original rolls (I strongly recommend the Spicy Girl roll), a GREAT lunch special, atmosphere is perfect, and the prices are amazing.
Yum.
Im dreading the day when people find out that Sakura is one of the best Sushi joints in all of NYC. It’s going to be packed
Another vote for Sushi D. I think it’s the best in Ft. Greene. I love that the rice is always still warm, even when I order delivery.
The chirashi at Geido on Flatbush is outstanding and cheap. Great take-out.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Osaka on Court street. It’s superb. their red river roll is amazing.
Nouvelle on 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge has been great every time I’ve been there. Their specials are always delicious.
I second the recommendation for Restaurant Gen on Washington Ave in Prospect Heights. It’s terrific, especially the short ribs and pork belly appetizers. Super-creative and fresh rolls and sushi. And not only Japanese-run, but Japanese Rasta-run.
I also like Geido on Flatbush.
I like Miso in dumbo. Really fresh and nice staff. Taro is great too.
I personally love Nana on 5th ave in park slope and order from there almost twise a week. Their dragon roll is my favorite of all time. They have a ton of other good things on the menu (orange chicken to die for) and great drinks. But definitely not a traditional sushi place.
