Ocean Sushi is hands down the best sushi I have ever had. I've been ordering from them for over 10 years, and the quality has always been outstanding. The fish is incredibly fresh, the flavors are amazing, and every order is prepared with care. What makes this place even more special is the owner. He is always attentive, kind, and genuinely cares about his customers. It's rare to find a restaurant that maintains such high standards year after year. If you're looking for exceptional sushi and wonderful service, Ocean Sushi is the place to go. Highly recommended! read more

Fresh big fat pieces of sushi & sashimi. My friend brought two giant traysfrom them and we all loved it.

This is our favorite local sushi place in the Malden/Melrose area. The chef is super nice and he is always accommodating for extra sauces or utensils. We typically order online and do pick up and it's quick and easy. The sushi is fresh and the value is awesome. They also have lunch specials. THIS PLACE IS TAKE OUT ONLY. read more

Amazing service and food. The owner had a family emergency and despite that he made a huge order for a party and made it delicious!

I've been to Ocean Sushi a few times for mainly take out and dine-in once before. They are only currently take out. I recently got take-out and ordered the Kamikaze, Double Spicy Tuna and top 3 rolls (shrimp tempura maki, spicy tuna maki, salmon avocado maki). Sushi is always high quality and I've never had a issue with them. When I came to pick up my order, the worker was friendly and fast. They offer great lunch specials too. read more

"So many rolls, so little time". We ordered these three items for takeout since we wanted to do a chill takeout night. Honestly, this was a little bit on the pricey end but it had great reviews so we wanted to give it a try. My fiancè really liked both sushi items, I loved the sushi burrito more. At a whopping $24, I was initially disappointed with the size but when I bit into it OMG it was sooo fresh and tasty. It had the thinnest layer of rice but a huge load of different fish, salmon, tuna, whitefish, yellowtail. $24 soo well spent! The siu mai miso soup was unique and very tasty as well, and they didn't skim on the sui mai. It was really good, but again a little on the pricey side but will come back. read more

Ocean Sushi is our favorite sushi place in the Malden/Melrose area. Since the pandemic, the restaurant has been to-go only, so it's best to call and place your order before you arrive so that it's ready for you. We love the lunch specials, which you can get most days of the week, and come with a good amount of food at a reasonable price (ex. maki and sides like miso soup, salad, egg roll, sweet potato tempura). The poke bowls are pricier, but great quality with a good amount and mix of fresh fish and ingredients. I really enjoy the poke sunset with salmon, tuna, mango, and avocado over rice with spicy mayo mmmm. Pine Banks Park is just across the street from the complex that Ocean Sushi is in, so on a nice day you can take your meal over there and enjoy it by the pond. It may not be an ocean... but it'll do. read more

I was nearby and got some carryout. The restaurant is still carryout only as of August 2021. Our order included a sashimi combo platter with tempura yams and miso soup and a spicy tuna roll. Some of the sashimi pieces should never have made it out the door. The texture, odor, and color indicated some of the sashimi was not fresh... not only was it not fresh, we questioned the safety of the sashimi and opt to not eat certain pieces. It's been a really long time since I've seen sashimi at this low of a quality anywhere.... to the point where safety becomes a topic instead of flavors and ambience of the restaurant. I picked this spot based largely on the high yelp reviews. Reviewing the popular dishes as I write this review makes me realize that most of them are cooked dishes or rolls. There is off street parking read more

I ordered take out from here recently. We got the lunch maki special for $18. It comes with your choice of 3 makis, along with two appetizers (choice of miso soup, salad, vegetable tempura, or spring roll, and other options for a surcharge). The miso soup was quite bland. The salad, was also mediocre. I felt like the dressing was under seasoned and watery, unlike your usually gingery thicker dressing. The spring roll was a fried vegetable roll essentially. Between both of us we got the spicy tuna, unagi/avo, spicy salmon, yellowtail, shrimp tempura which was decent but not the freshest I've had. We also got the hot summer roll which we were both not fans of. It tasted like fishy salmon from a can wrapped in a maki roll. I would definitely not recommend it. Overall, decent sushi, good value, but wouldn't come here for a "good" sushi meal. read more

Best sushi around, and amazing customer service! Always very friendly and the orders are ready quickly. Be sure to also get the miso soup.

The Sushi was great at Ocean Sushi and the restaurant had great seating for any size party. With extremely good service.

It's official - I have found my new go-to for sushi in the area. We came upon Ocean Sushi on Yelp (thanks, guys!), and were not disappointed. They have a HUGE menu with more sushi options than I have seen in a long time (and some other options as well if you aren't into sushi). There is even an entire section of the menu dedicated to vegetable sushi. We ordered way more food than two people should consume in one sitting (judge me.), and every bit of it was awesome. I highly recommend the yam and avocado roll and the veggie gyoza - delicious. We are looking forward to coming back again soon! read more

Cute little self serve sushi restaurant! Upon entering we were instructed by signs to grab a menu, seat yourself and order at the register whenever ready. All the utensils and drinks are self serve. The host (who I'm assuming is the owner) was very nice as he would offer his assistance whenever we had a question. The layout of the restaurant is simple with 5-6 booths lining the walls. A quiet and mellow atmosphere with a lot of customers in and out (a lot of take out orders). Once ordered the food came in less than 10 minutes. Rolls ordered: - 3 maki lunch combo (tuna/mango+Salmon/avo+ red snapper/avo)+ Crab ragoon - Double spicy tuna maki - Scorpion Maki Pros: - Very hefty pieces of maki (they stuff a lot of fish in the rolls) - The salmon and tuna were very fresh - The mango was very fresh - Crab ragoon was crispy and creamy - Special rolls come with 10 pieces and regular rolls come in 8 pieces. Cons: - Not a fan of the red snapper (was on they chewier and fishier side) - The double spicy tuna maki was a bit too much spicy tuna (expected as it IS double) but when eaten the flavors did not mix well together. Verdict: - Nice little place to satisfy your sushi craving. The price is a little on the higher side (just by a couple of dollars per roll/combo) but the fish did seem very fresh. I would definitely come again! read more

FYI - to go only!!! Do not let the photos of inside deceive you like they did me lol. Food is great, but you can't eat there. :)

After 3 years of not going here and wanting to try it once more, I have to say the quality is still repulsive. The sushi rice is wet and smelly, the sushi is old and also smelly, even the vegan options smell! Does this restaurant understand they're servicing seafood? Is it temperature controlled? I can't believe they have the nerve to charge this much for food that is one bite away from the emergency room. read more

I'm not sure how you do it....this is hands down my new favorite place. It's all I can do not to eat here daily. I normally order delivery- while it's a little spendy....they deliver quickly. The sushi here is simply the best I've had in Boston. The quality of the fish is amazing. I've been eating the bowl (million dollar poke ) that consists of several types of sushi grade fish over rice with sauce and seasonings. It is easily one of the best goodies I've had here. If you are close worth ordering take out or eating in. The sushi does not disappoint and the staff is professional and lovely. read more

This place has excellent fresh sushi for the whole family and is super fast for easy pickup.

Just tried Ocean Sushi for the first time and was very pleased. They have an awesome, huge menu to choose from. The sushi was delicious and fresh. I also got a miso soup which was great, and the crab rangoons and scallion pancakes were really delicious as well. Our waitress and everyone else working were fantastic. My one qualm is that they had a lot more on their online menu than they had in the restaurant. I was especially looking forward to trying a sushirito. I guess it's only a take out option. I'd still return though! read more

Great food and an excellent lunch deal! They only offer takeout, but their customer service is still excellent!

Best sushi in the Boston area, hands down! Always fresh, great selection and huge pieces! And the owner, Mr. Li, is a great guy and cares for every customer. Highly recommend everything, but the spicy yellowtail and spicy tuna hand rolls are the bomb! read more

Read as 3.5 stars. Review based on takeout. Ordered 4 types of rolls, scallion pancake and crab rangoons. Overall the quantity of rolls per order is more than your standard order. Everything we ordered was average, can't say anything was great or exceptional that you would not find at any other sushi restaurant. read more

This is probably my favorite sushi place I've ever been to. I usually order takeout or delivery. Everyone is always super friendly. The fish is always fresh and the salmon practically melts in your mouth. I love their lunch specials. I religiously get 3 maki with 2 sides combo. It's to die for! For dinner I usually get the spicy maki combo and the Phoenix maki. Their monster makis are giant (10 pc) and SO GOOD. The only downside is they close randomly to go on vacations which is understandable. I just miss the sushi a lot when they do LOL but it makes it that much better when they're back. read more

Still just as good as my first review. It's a little different inside now - no more dine in with waiters/waitresses, but I don't really care. The food quality is still the same - delicious and fresh.

Ocean Sushi is our favorite sushi place around. Nothing compares! They were in our regular rotation, but we moved a little further away last year, which makes it a little less convenient to get to. But the sushi is so good we still try to order from here periodically. It's just worth it! Everything we've ordered has been delightful. The sushi tastes fresh and the portions are generous. One of my favorites though is the Mushroom Tempura Maki The owner is also very friendly and kind. read more

For your efforts Ocean sushi, I grant you an elusive but well deserved 5 stars! Up to this point, my experience with Boston area sushi has been pretty disappointing. Not to say there isn't good, fresh sushi, as there is plenty to go around. But the word ordinary comes to mind. What's been missing is creativity. No fear, Ocean Sushi is here, swooping in to save the day. Aside from the extensive menu of appetizers, sushi, sashimi, and maki(both cooked and uncooked), they are whipping up awesome items like volcano maki, dynamite Maki, and chicken tempura. Chicken, mango, eel, baked salmon, boiled shrimp. My head is spinning from all the possibilities. My recommendation? Start with the spring rolls (perfectly crispy yet light), then try the volcano Maki(just trust me). The best part? It's in my backyard! (Or a 5 minute walk from oak grove station). No need to go to Chinatown or Allston. They better get used to seeing this pretty face, as this will probably become a regular occurrence read more

I've been craving sushi for a long time and have honestly been a little worried about ordering during the pandemic because I wasn't sure how frequently restaurants were getting fresh fish. I finally caved and ordered this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. I think I've found my new go to sushi spot that's affordable and has good quality. I ordered for takeout via phone and my order was ready when I went to pick it up. I highly recommend taking advantage of their lunch specials (from 11-3) if you are able to. You get a lot of food for your money that way. The staff who handed me my order was friendly and I was in and out of the restaurant in less than 5 minutes. They have a table set up in the entrance to keep distancing since they are not doing dine in; a staff member will ask for your name and number to confirm your order. The facility is clean and employees are masked up. My order: Lunch special (3 maki rolls of choice and 2 sides): I got shrimp tempura maki, CA maki, and eel avocado maki. Each roll is 8 pieces. Lunch special sushi sashimi combo (2 pc chef choice sushi, 3 pc chef choice sashimi, 8 pc spicy tuna maki, and 2 sides)- $17; the sashimi pieces were thick and tasted fresh. Miso soup (side) Yam tempura (side) Wonton strip chips (side) Super Dragon Roll Spider Roll For under $70 I was able to get a lot of food (they also have a hot food menu and offer sushi burritos and poke bowls)! The quality here is really good for the price and everything tasted really fresh. The lunch specials are definitely the way to go to get the most bang for your buck. The packaging was well done and I'm surprised they were able to pack my entire order into a single brown bag. Overall well-priced, good quality sushi. I would definitely order from here again. read more
