Met a friend for lunch by his house and told me to lets go for sushi to this place. Walked in and was greeted we sat down and first thing that i noticed was on the tables were real chopsticks i liked that once the food came out and tasted it was 100% great taste and fresh definitely will come back here great staff fast service and very clean thank u.
There was no dining at the place at all. Only take out or delivery. The food was pretty good. Dosen't seem much of a difference from any other sushi place. The rice was a little hard...may needed more water when cooking or that is what it is normally? Too bad there was no dining I would've love to try more dishes. I only have them 4 stars solely on what I gotten to eat. Still I wouldn't mind going back to this place the food was fresh.
Coming from NJ and meeting a friend from Brooklyn, I chose this place, based on menu options and reviews. It did not disappoint. Very warm staff and delicious food, with beautiful presentation. I highly recommend the Chilean sea bass. I'll be back!
Went to Ocean for a pre-Christmas Eve Seven Fishes dinner over the weekend, It was absolutely fabulous! Both the sushi and sashimi were superbly fresh and presented beautifully. Service was efficient and pleasant, despite having a full house and plenty of takeout orders being prepared and going out the door. We hadn't been to Ocean in a very, very long time but the owner and waitstaff still remembered us and greeted us warmly. Definitely worth the trip from the north end of the island, and definitely be back. Many thanks to the team at Ocean for another delicious and memorable night!
Aside from lunch specials, Ocean can get pretty pricey. That being said, their sushi is always worth it. I’ve never been disappointed; fish is always fresh, and deliveries are fairly quick. This is the best place for sushi on the south shore.
Always great. My local go-to Sushi place. The fish is fresh and tasty. Big menu of varied Japanese and other Asian options ie Pad Thai. Perfect for lunch, dinner or take-out!
Best sushi on Staten Island! The employees are really amazing. They make everyone feel welcome and they remember all the returning customers. My husband and I come here regularly, and every dish we have tried is incredible. Even simple appetizers like the miso soup and edamame are top-notch. The fish is always fresh and high quality. Always a great experience here!
