Where's your Favorite Sushi Place?

Taro. Beats Blue Ribbon by Godzilla rolls..

I haven't ate at a sushi restaurant in Park Slope that I have not liked. They're all good and creative. I tend to prefer the sushi places on 5th Avenue opposed to 7th Avenue. However the lunch specials at Hanabi on 7th Avenue near Garfield are good. Kiku on 5th Avenue is good. Really can't think of a bad sushi joint. I got the wrong thing at Oshima once because of a language problem (waitress did not speak much English), but I still eat there.

Blue Ribbon is expensive but they have a lot of interesting and different fish selection that you can't find elseware. Used to go to Geido all the time when I live in North slope. Great prices, good jazz music, good sushi.

if you want a blue ribbon experience for half the price, definitely go to oshima.

i think in some ways, it is better than blue ribbon. the sushi is extremely fresh, the brand new renovated space is very sleek and the outdoor patio is perfect.

as someone who has tried many the best sushi places in manhattan...bond street, nobu, nobu57, neo, etc, i think oshima is right up there in quality of food.

Once I picked up a sashimi platter from the fish market on 7th Avenue between 1st and 5th Streeets -- the nice looking, narrow store with Asian products in the front and fresh fish in the back. There, I paid $15.00 for a sashimi platter of three different not so large cuts of fish and there was a limited selection and no side dishes were included.

Another day, I get a supper $10.00 sashimi lunch special at Hanabi that was crazy large and tasty. It included at least 3 if not 4 of my favorite fiish, dumplings (they let me pick), bowl of rice, salad, and soup. It was AWESOME.

We ate at Oshima last week based on recommendations on this board. We found it barely edible.

Kinara. Plus they have a very nice garden in the summer.

Oshima is definitely one of the best. If you don't mind if your sushi place has crappy decor, try Giedo on flatbush. For the higher end variety, Blue Ribbon Sushi still reigns IMO.

Now that is down on my list..Sakura.. seems expensive, uncomfortable seating, often empty and the sushi was not al that interesting or fresh.

After so much hype about Oshima, I finally tried it the first time. I am sorry to report that I found it inadequate. My favorite place in the hood (besides the obvious Blue Ribbon Sushi) is J Pan on 5th, and Kiku on 7th.

Taro. And then Blue Ribbon for a fancier meal. Taro for a regular old meal out.

The usual suspects mentioned here are all good, in my opinion. I do think that, other than Blue Ribbon, JPan does tend to give you a bit of a fancier experience, both food and atmosphere-wise.

My choice for most underrated would be Picasso Asian Fusions. Never sat there to eat, but they've been my #1 pickup and delivery option for sushi. Never had anything that wasn't impressive from there. Worth at least a couple of shots.
