    It's been a long time coming that we find a place with the best Chirashi bowl in Pinellas County! We dined late and the servers were still very accommodating! We started off with the grilled Octopus- very delicious! Then moved on to some rolls, Scallop Roll, Sexy Rolland Chirashi bowls. We had to wrap it up since they were almost closing and we feel bad. We will be back to try others on the menu.

    Incredibly fresh sushi plus a variety of other delicious menu items. Atmosphere is great balance between casual and refined, bar area and comfortable area. Perfect for happy hour, take out or nice sit down dinner.

    I have always loved this sushi place. The sushi is delicious. They have so many different specialty rolls and classic rolls as well. The staff is very nice and friendly. The sushi never takes too long to make. Sometimes when I place an order, it is ready in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. They expanded the inside of the restaurant, so there is more seating. It is very nice.

    This Sushi place was unusual for us. We ordered the chicken satay to start with, and I would never order that it again. The chicken was so overcooked and dry, it was almost inedible. It looked good though. Then when looking at the menu, I honestly couldn't find a Sushi roll and neither could Ben that we wanted so we both went with getting a make your own Sushi Burrito. Normally finding a roll is not an issue, especially for Ben. I did like the different options that you can pick and choose from when creating your own roll from sauces, veggies, proteins, wrap type, etc and we both order completely different types. I was very pleased with mine and since it is a burrito, it was too big for me to finish and I was going to take the rest home. BUT, still getting use to having to ensure your mask is on prior to getting up from your seat, I got distracted and left it on the table. :( So, we may not be back for traditional Sushi, but I am pretty sure we will be back for a Sushi Burrito.

    Yummy, beautiful sushi! Quick, friendly service. Ordered to-go. Everything was boxed up with care and made it safe back home, even with my husband's driving ;)

    dirty box plate.... nothing on it but this thing....

    What in the HECK has happened to this place???!! Haven't been here in a while....but seriously!! Came after work cause I needed sushi.... it was a loooong day. Upon entering, the place smelled like..... a mens' toilet. I don't know why...so wrong!!! Second bad sign...cheap chop sticks....the kind you have to rub together so you don't get splinters in your lips....haven't seen them in years...and cheap, creepy non paper napkin. The menu is carefully crafted in an 8 point helvetica narrow....so bring not only your glasses, but a magnifying glass. There's a black tray in front of me... that has deep edges....and no purpose. Nothing fits on it...not the wooden sushi plate...and the small dirty white dish you get to eat on, so I try to put my wooden sushi plate on the bar's edge... but it's too small...so eventually...it'll fall onto the large bar....if you ordered enough sushi. But it's stone! My octopus salad is cool and delicious. My "whatever roll".....was served with NOTHING ....on a dirty bamboo board....and each piece fell apart as I tried to remain ladylike eating sushi splashing into my soy sauce dish in front of me. Lastly, I ordered clam sashimi. Whoa.... no one here knows what surf clam sashimi is... it came out warm...and slightly scored. Both sides in tact...impossible to chew through...and warm. It's been nuked! Just plain awful. I don't know who bought this place.... but it's not for actual sushi aficionados. Service was very good! Sorry to the servers. And to finish this insult to Asian food, country music in the background. AWFUL!!!

    Took the wife here in order to fuck up the eel. I love eel. Eel is so good. She got the miso and some chicken roll that I made fun of her for. She liked it but I personally do not support chicken sushi.

    The best sushi in Florida. Hands down! Veggie options are amazing too! Don't miss out on the Ramen, Yakisoba, and Hibachi. Fried ice cream is the best dessert on the menu. Thank you to the staff and chefs for making our time here amazing. We have come twice a week (maybe more) for the past month and it's 5 stars every time.

    The spread at Ocean Blue never disappoints!

    What a beautiful and delicious experience we had at Ocean Hai. It's a level of elegance we wanted…read more The overall look from the entrance, the food, and the gorgeous patio is a must add to your list when in Clearwater! It was crazy hot so we couldn't sit on the patio but at sunset it was still a stunning view. Kalby was an absolute pleasure to be serviced by. She was attentive and used her talents to help recommend entrees from the menu. Our starter was the bulgogi skewers which were perfectly balanced with sweet and Korean spice. The edamame was our least favorite dish. I did discuss this with kalby and the manager. The idea was there but poor execution. The gochujang sea salt...the gochujang just wasn't there and once you ate that top layer all you got was oily edamame, so much oil...you wouldn't need chapstick for the rest of the day. Then wins though came from the cocktails. Ours were delicious and my old fashion was spot on. Also in the win was the sunset sushi, beautiful and fantastic, along with Korean crispy chicken. The peanut sauce was the perfect balance to that meal. Now...what we also loved that should be permanently on the menu was the mochi. We had 4 of them and they were wonderful! Everyone should be able to experience these. But ocean hai on your list as a must try place for sure.

We had the nicest table right on the patio overlooking the beach and it was fantastic. Our server was pleasant when she was around, but it seemed like she went missing for long periods of time and always right when we seemed to need something. Service was generally slow and the restaurant wasn't super busy when we were there. Food was mediocre at best. We started with the bulgogi beef skewers and the ahi tuna apps. The skewers were sort of dry and chewy...and I don't know that they tasted like bolgogi. The tuna tartar app tasted heavily of lime and nothing else and the cuts on the tuna were pretty messy and made it a bit difficult to eat. The grouper entree was okay, but the piece of fish I got looked like a baseball in that it was thick and sort of round? It made it just kind of tough and overcooked on the outside and a little undercooked on the inside. The chicken fried rice was good, but nothing to write home about.

Our party included a rambunctious three-year-old and three other children; the youngest was 1 year old and the oldest was 89. We took the advice of the staff and pre-ordered the bruschetta appetizer to tide us over until entrees arrived. Waitstaff was fabulous!! Jonas saw and tended to every need, in addition to making each diner (including the children) feel like royalty. His patient professionalism subtly taught how things go in white-tablecloth restaurants. Some ordered sushi (and ate every scrap), some ordered the filet or the New York Strip, some ordered other specials (pistachio-crusted hogfish, grilled Red Snapper (SO GOOD!!), cedar plank salmon, Island Way-prepared snapper ~ all pronounced delicious! Children ordered grilled chicken and buttered noodles and ate every smidge. Food was served hot and promptly. We had backup games prepared but we really only had to bring out Round 1 of those! Kudos to Island Way and Jonas for our spectacular meal!! Notes: Children's menus were a hit, but we had to grab crayons from the car. Take some crayons if you have kiddies. Valet parking is complementary; tips are appreciated. We could have skipped the bruschetta. It was okay, but not spectacular. Still, it did help some of our young adults handle the wait for the main courses. We'll be back next year ~ and we'll ask for Jonas! (Our party had two servers, and the other server was also great, but I didn't catch his name.)
