Blue Ocean Robata & Sushi Bar

I got the lady in red. Delicious. Also started with the edamame. Server was super nice but didn’t know a lot about vegan food (I asked if the miso soup was vegan and he was unsure). Still really happy with my meal and satisfied, and it was delicious.

Blue Ocean is my new favorite sushi spot in North County! We went for a happy hour on my birthday and were blown away by the quality and quantity of each of their dishes.

The tomago nigiri was A+ perfectly seasoned and the wakame is soooo tasty. The rest of the nigiri was perfect and as expected for top notch fish. The rice was also perfectly seasoned.

The crispy shrimp was plump and perfectly covered in a sweet and savory sauce.

We tried two skewers - the pork with pineapple and the steak. Both were superb. I think I liked the pork one a little better because the pineapple was a perfect foil for the juicy pork.

The birthday chocolate cake with a savory caramel and crispy amaranth was sublime. Not too sweet with lots of complexity.

This isn’t our first time nor will it be the last time. If you want truly exceptional sushi and skewers. This is the place to go. Don’t sleep on the soup as well - it’s rich, dotted with tiny mushrooms, and very satisfying.

There is plenty of parking in the lot or nearby.

They also have drink specials weekly - I highly recommend the whiskey Wednesday!

Parking: Lots of parking in the lot at the resturant or across the street.

Great spot in the village. Usually a wait, but good service. My lunch go to is the summer roll wrapped in cucumber and a miso soup. Cute and casual to meet up with friends.

I ordered one of the same rolls last week and it was a completely different portion size (8 good size piece)and what came in the roll was completely different… 6 thin pieces in 1 roll? Last time there was a sauce for this roll this time no sauce. Price was the same but the size was really small.

Hands down the BEST, freshest, most flavorful food I’ve had in a very long time. Additionally, the environment is extremely pleasant and lively, but also not too loud. We ordered the Kaboconut Soup, filet + pineapple robata, Amberjack Carpaccio, and Marine Boy roll. As well as the Pina Verde (WOW) and the cucumber Saketini. We will 1000% be back every time we’re in town because I would love to try more items on their delicious and diverse menu! Lastly, thank you Meimei for being an awesome server!
