About

Blue Ribbon Sushi & Steak, opening October 2023 at Penn 1 in midtown Manhattan, is a new concept from the Blue Ribbon Team combining traditional Japanese cuisine with a modern day steakhouse. Blue Ribbon Sushi & Steak is located at the bustling Penn 1 Building, across 33rd Street from Madison Square Garden and atop Penn Station.  The restaurant is accessible from 33rd street and from the lobby of Penn 1, and accommodates 140 guests at various seating areas - a sushi counter, a cocktail bar, the central dining room, and an outdoor patio.

The Blue Ribbon family of restaurants was lovingly created by brothers and chefs, Bruce and Eric Bromberg.  They have been guiding forces in the culinary world for over 30 years. Family trips to the South of France fostered the Brothers' appreciation for French cuisine, which blossomed in their studies at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.  Together they seamlessly melded their culinary expertise with their passion for service excellence to create the original Blue Ribbon in 1992.

Soon thereafter, in 1995, the Brothers met sushi master, Toshi Ueki and his team, at a New York City restaurant one evening.  That began a beautiful collaboration that now includes Blue Ribbon Sushi restaurants in NYC, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami.Blue Ribbon Restaurants are annually recognized for excellence by many leading culinary institutions and publications including Zagat Survey, the James Beard Foundation, the Michelin Guide, Wine Spectator, Gourmet, and CitySearch.

Reality TV shows often depict chefs as cruel, heartless tyrants, willing to make their staff cry in pursuit of the perfect bite. But it doesn't have to be this way. Just ask Bruce Bromberg (Anth'88). For the last three decades, he's led a team of extraordinarily loyal staffers at Blue Ribbon Restaurants, the growing restaurant group he co-founded with his older brother Eric Bromberg in 1992...
