OCEAN SUSHI, Melrose

I am saddened to write this update. It's been about a year or so since we were last here and I couldn't believe how disappointed I was with this visit. First off it is obvious they are struggling. No more wait staff, no more liquor...license, cheap plates, paper plates.....packaged wasabi!!?? Not the great restaurant it once used to be. Worst of all was the sushi! I noticed the difference right away. The presentation was terrible on a plastic plate. Our maki rolls came out too fast and made me suspicious. The one I had tasted like it had been sitting around for a couple hours. Mushy rice and chewy seaweed and nothing tasted fresh. The spicy seafood salad was mushy too! The prices had really gone up! We had seaweed salad, seafood salad and 4 maki rolls. $90+!! What a total disappointment. This place was the best sushi restaurant for me for a couple years. At this rate, I don't think they will be open for very long. *sigh*More

SO GOOD!

Absolutely love the food here! Wasn’t expecting much but proven wrong! Went during lunch today and got the udon with two sides with a roll of sushi. Good portion for the price- the fish was fresh! :) enjoyed everything!

OMG the best

It’s the best sushi place around. The fish tastes fresh. It’s like they just got it! Quality and tons of selection. The price is good too. It’s our place to go for sushi. The host is the best, very very friendly. The atmosphere is nice...it’s small and cozy. They also do take out and deliver. Parking is a little tricky.More

consistently good!

Ocean is our go-to place for sushi, usually as a family outing. We've been multiple times over the past 3-4 years. Host is very friendly. Nice atmosphere and decor. Service can be a bit spotty at times. Like it better for eat-in than for takeout....Prices are reasonable. Always very fresh.More

Good sushi spot

Came here for lunch on the weekend. Tons of options for maki rolls as well as standard non-sushi choices like noodles, tempura, etc. I got the Godzilla Roll, it was very good. Prices are reasonable and service is quick.
