    Part of the bar area!
    Zoe C.

    The vibes are absolutely there, and the drinks here are insanely good. Unfortunately the sushi isn't anything special in my opinion, and dishes have been extremely inconsistent (looks/tastes different week to week, i've tried this place like 4 times) I've gotten their shrimp tempura (delish), spicy salmon (okay but inconsistent), hello kitty roll, and many many gyoza. Their servers seem a bit green but have always been kind :)

    Spicy pork ramen
    Erica S.

    My friends and I came to eat dinner a couple days ago and this sushi restaurant was pretty good. I got a hot sake which was not bad. And then the spicy pork ramen with an egg was good - I liked the meat, egg, and broth but the noodles were thinner than I like them and a good amount of them were stuck together. I give the atmosphere a 10/10 since the inside was pretty spacious with a good amount of tables. They allowed tap to pay but when paying on the device, the server was looking right at the device even when choosing tip option. We paid higher tips than we normally would since he was looking. I would maybe come here again since the location is great. However, I give 3 stars since it was not anything amazing or terrible.

    Spicy Miso Ramen, Takoyaki, Chashudon
    J C.

    I decided to check out Blue Ocean for dinner, upon arrival it was pretty quiet and I was swiftly greeted and seated by friendly staff. The atmosphere leans heavy into Japanese pop culture oriented decor including retro anime and kaiju themes with a little bit of a cozy izakaya energy, and the menu leans heavily into the same Japanese inspiration and is complimented by a whiskey and drink bar. I ordered the goons and takoyaki as appetizers, the goons were well fried, layered, and crispy with a filling that was nicely seasoned to separate it self from the general crab rangoons you'll find across the STL area, the takoyaki were soft and chewy however the flavor was a little overpowered by the oil it was fried in. For entrees I ordered the spicy miso ramen with onsen egg, Godzilla roll, and chashu don, the spicy miso ramen broth was well seasoned and had a good body however it was not spicy, the pork and onsen egg were well cooked and melted in the mouth, the Godzilla roll was a unique blend of creamy, chewy and crunchy delights, and the chashu don was pleasant and the pork was melt in your mouth good the same as the spicy miso ramen's pork. If you're looking for a fun Japanese themed outing and dishes, you'll very well find Blue Ocean fits the bill.

    Hands down a favorite sushi spot of mine in stl. Sushi is solid, drinks are diverse and the goons tie it all together.

    The sushi here was okay, nothing too special but fine for midwest sushi. The crab rangoons had a really good amount of filling and would have appreciated a little bit more of a crunch! Our biggest complaint was the service. We walked in and waited for a while before realizing that there was a sign up sheet to be called. It would've been nice if the waiters made us aware of this as it was clear there was no separate host. We returned after we got a call saying it was our turn to be seated but then were standing for another 10 minutes before being approached by a waitress. At this point we asked to sit at the bar, hoping that we would get better service at the bar. This turned out to be true and we enjoyed our conversations with the bartender! We loved the atmosphere of this spot and it's a good spot for a casual date night in the loop. Lots of stickers around and loved the big Totoro mural on the wall :) Not sure that we'd return which is disappointing.

    If you're looking for a variety of Asian cuisine then Blue Ocean is for you! They've got an array for different sushi rolls, nigiri & sashimi. There's even a page that GF & DF which is super nice for people's dietary needs! Not only do they have sushi rolls but they've got ramen too. I had the Spicy Beef Ramen & it was soooo good! I would definitely recommend trying it if you haven't! I've been looking for a good ramen place, not pho. The vibe is super cool, I love how dark it is in there for a late night dinner, they've also got fun graffiti type painting on the walls with fun art & what not. Our waitress was helpful & patient with us. She was great. I definitely recommend Blue Ocean in the Delmar Loop!

    Spicy Beef and Fried Spicy Tuna/ Spicy Salmon rolls were so good i ate here with my dad

    Very good I ate here with my dad i enjoyed it a lot it was his first time trying sushi and ramen

    Shrimp Tempura
    Al W.

    Goons and gyoza were excellent! Both were crunchy and savory with great seasoning. Veggie roll was crunchy and fresh, pickle radish was a nice touch. Shrimp tempura roll was simple but tasty, a little on the smaller size. Crunchy Cali was interesting with the crunch, adds a little sweetness to a normal Cali roll. Caterpillar was a favorite, sweet and savory. Mango tango roll had a slight mango flavor. La Flama roll had good spice but not over bearing. Rainbow roll was simple and good. Overall, sushi was fresh and fairly priced. Service was good, quick seating on a Tuesday night, food took some time but we ordered a lot! Restaurant was clean and nice decor.

    Tempura and soft crab shell rolls
    Timira M.

    I was excited to try this place but after finishing my meal it was okay. The rice was a bit gummy and to me, it might have not been freshly made. Overall, it was okay and got me full. I walked in and asked a man at the bar if I could place a take-out order and he sent a waitress over right away. Ordering the food was fine and I told the waitress I was going to sit in the foyer. She didn't put my number in the machine to text me when the pickup order was ready nor did she let me know it was ready. After waiting a while I peeked back in and my order was sitting on the table. To me, that isn't being attentive to customers. The inside seems like a chill spot to eat so perhaps maybe I will try to dine in next time to give them another chance.

    Beef lo mein
    Felita M.

    Really enjoyed our visit on a dreary Friday afternoon. Not many customers at all. We both ordered beef lo mein that was steamy hot, delicious and a large portion. And we each ordered a mix drink. Mine tasted a lot like a Moscow mule. I didn't care for two things --prices not listed on the menu being the main one. And for a no skilled chopstick patron, no fork or knives were provided. Otherwise, it's a nice restaurant and would be great for a date night.

    Himbo drink
    Jaz M.

    I did the street parking fairly close around the corner. Once I entered I was greeted immediately and sat at the bar. I got a Himbo drink that was really good. It was more on the tart side but matched well with my tastebuds. I then ordered the skinny fries and mango tango roll. The fires were ok. They were served with a spicy mayo and when I asked for ketchup l, they said they didn't serve any. They were really greasy too. The skinniness of them had them take on more oil. I'm not sure if they are drained properly. The roll on the other hand was better. It was aesthetically pleasing and had good flavor. If you're in the area it is worth a try.

I tried the Pretty in Pink cocktail, which was well-balanced and enjoyable, though the pour felt a bit light for a martini. Normally one martini gives me a slight buzz, but that wasn't the case here. We started with the onion rings as an appetizer. The portion size was generous, and they were tasty overall, though they had a tangy seasoning dusted on top that seemed a little odd at first. Surprisingly, it still worked. I ordered the Good Burger, and it was honestly one of the most flavorful smash burgers I've ever had. I was genuinely impressed. I got the sauce on the side since it also came with the onion rings, and unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of it -- it was a bit runny and lacked flavor. My friend ordered the vegan burger and absolutely loved it. The inside of the restaurant was cute and had a great atmosphere, though there was an unusual smell indoors, so I was very thankful we were able to grab one of the outdoor tables.
