Freshest, best tasting sushi in upstate NY for an affordable price. This is a must stop for any sushi fan.

We ordered take out through their website for on our way through Oneida. There was street parking available while I ran inside to pickup the order. There were a few tables inside and a couple folks enjoying their meals. We ordered sushi and all enjoyed it! Thanks so much read more

We absolutely love this place as well as the people who work here! They are VERY nice & very accommodating. I have to comment on the one review that said that the "ambiance" was that of a breakfast diner. Ha Ha Ha Ha That might just be because it used to be a diner! =) "murphy's" & then "choo choo charlie's" They try to be all passive aggressive with their review & say that it is 'basic' fare, & that people don't know what they are talking about that it is the 'best' in Oneida. Obviously they are NOT from Oneida. Oneida has like two other sushi restaurants. Avocado does not have a flavour, unless you count 'bland' as a flavour. & if you don't want avocado in your roll, ask for them not to put it in! I know, I know, that's just crazy! Personally I think this business has done quite well for opening during the middle of the "pandemic". The tempura is possibly the best in the area! & be sure to check out the specials behind the counter. I think they also have some on the sandwich board as well. & for those folks who don't like nori, they also have soy paper for the rolls. read more

My husband and I go here every week and it consistently impresses! The sushi is always so fresh, cold, delicious and beautifully plated. The service is always friendly, quick, and pleasant. Great people and price are very reasonable. Our favorite restaurant in the world. read more

Hibachi scallops were VERY disappointing compared to the Fuji Hibachi restaurant in Glendale Plaza. Ambiance was dingy.

Hands down the best sushi in Central New York. All ingredients have been fresh and high quality every time. Everyone who works here is incredibly kind- they once even helped us jump our car! Their rolls are delightful. The rice is seasoned perfectly. The fish is fresh and delicious. I especially recommend the salmon belly and the yellowtail! Sometimes they get in fresh uni, which is a delight. Try it on top of a sea scallop! They are very flexible with substitutions or leaving out rice. Their plating is beautiful and masterful. While I was there today, some guy came in, claiming he was given a roll with bad, old food in it. The staff apologized and offered to remake it for free. He refused. He demanded cash, and they asked for a receipt. Then he claimed someone else got it, so he didn't have a receipt, but wanted his money back right then and there. It's a pretty common scam, honestly. I've NEVER had a single piece of bad food here. Not once. I think offering to replace it or to refund with a receipt is personally reasonable, so if this guy rolls up blasting them, take it with a huge rock of salt. Anyway, Ocean Sushi of Oneida is honestly the only sushi place in want to go to in central New York. It is vastly superior to any other place I have tried. read more

Stopped by here on a Saturday night with a few friends and had a great experience! The staff was super nice and attentive throughout our entire meal. All of the sushi came out super quick, too! I ordered the Naruto roll, which was very delicious and fresh. I also got the edamame, which was well salted. All of my friend's rolls came out great and the fried rice was also very tasty. Definitely come here if you're looking for good sushi in central NY with quick service! I also found the prices very reasonable. read more

Ocean sushi - Naruto roll and edamame - Salad Near Me - oneida, New York

Been here several times. The sushi is basic fare. Everything with avocado, not that I dislike avocado, but it always overpowers everything else in the roll. I wrote a Google review suggesting some fruit based rolls and more variety of non avocado rolls. Regardless anyone who thinks this is the 'best' sushi around has a very bland palette. The service is fine, the ambience is that of a breakfast diner. The bathroom is creepy. That said the quality of everything was acceptable. If you like the basic sushi fare you will find this place fine. But nothing is breaking the mold here. read more

Very gracious wait staff. Bento lunch box was fresh and flavorful. Very quiet, easy to get a table read more

Best sushi in Central New York hands down. If you are wanting great sushi (with great presentation), great hibachi and gyoza you need to try ocean. It's a 35 minute trip for me and very worth it. read more

Amazing food amazing staff really good quality sushi. Don't let the outside appearance fool you.

This place was great! I've been to a lot of sushi places and they had some of the best presentation on their plates for garnish and the sushi was outstanding. The Kamikaze roll especially! read more

Pretty darn good for a small place in Oneida NY. I ordered the Tempura roll and California roll, both spicy options. Very fresh and made to order! It really was good. I'll be back for sure! read more

It may not look like much from the outside, but inside you'll find a hidden gem! This place more than exceeded our expectations and we savored every bite! I can't say a bad thing about this place, everything was wonderful. (special shoutout to the "Rock N Roll" and "Yummy Roll") read more

Very wonderful customer service, and incredibly helpful when I asked for questions. I was hopeful based on photos and other reviews that the sushi would be amazing. Tried different rolls, some appetizers and a hibachi meal, and all left something to be desired in terms of quality, use of stale tempura, and lack of flavoring. read more

I'm a college student nearby and this place is such a gem!! The food is so, so amazing and has great quality sushi that is so hard to come by in Upstate New York. On top of that the staff that runs the place is absolutely amazing and super friendly, and they really make the place what it is. So happy to give them my money every time I visit. Forever a fan of Ocean Sushi and so sad to be graduating next semester! Please go support them!! read more

Outstanding! In town for business, came here for dinner. Got the Oneida roll and the spicy tuna, and both were absolutely delicious. Wish I had more time to try more items. Definitely coming back here next time. Service was great, super friendly. Small restaurant, older building and older furniture -- rustic, nothing fancy, just how I like it. read more

Ocean sushi - Oneida roll and spicy tuna at Ocean Sushi. - Salad Near Me - oneida, New York

The relatively inexpensive, the food is fresh and they put a lot of effort to make their special rolls aesthetic. Worth the trip.

I stopped in for lunch and had the sushi and sashimi lunch combo. It came with miso soup that I did not care for but everything else was delicious! Definitely worth the short drive off the Thruway is passing by and craving fresh sushi read more

Tried Ocean for the first time. I got the shumai and a salmon teriyaki poke bowl. I had heard good things but had my doubts, good Japanese food, in Oneida? I was wrong to doubt them. The shumai were good, the poke bowl even better! The chef's sauces that came with it made the dish. Salmon was cooked perfectly, seaweed was fresh with no fishy taste. I can't wait to go back and try actual sushi or sashimi! read more

We recently moved to Oneida from Las Vegas and found this gem very near our place!!! Staff was very nice and food was awesome! Please try this place out! read more

Very kind wait staff, private dining area, clean, relaxing atmosphere. Food was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We had appetizers, sushi and our son had hibachi chicken.

One of the best sushi I've ever had. The owners were friendly, and their little daughter was incredibly sweet. Highly recommend!

Never disappointed! Their mango is so good... every time. Tried the smoked salmon sushi too, so delicious!

Excellent service and food. We will be back! The sweet potato sushi is bomb! Bento lunches were reasonably priced and plentiful.

It is a quaint little place on Main Street in Oneida. The sushi I ordered was amazing, I get the spicy tuna it , so if you are in the area and you want sushi , go to ocean sushi, they are very friendly and prompt wether eating in or out this is the place to be.3 read more

tl;dr- surprisingly good sushi for the area I was in the area visiting and when someone suggested that I get sushi from a place in Oneida I laughed out loud. Oneida? You can't be serious. I had to eat crow for that one; Ocean Sushi offers a respectable sushi menu especially considering the area. For me, nigiri tells me everything I need to know about a sushi restaurant. How the rice is prepared and how the fish is cut and shaped with the rice are key indicators of a quality preparation. The rice was actual sushi rice that had been prepared quite well. The fish was as fresh as possible and shaped properly with the rice. I also noticed excellent attention to detail in the maki preparation. The service was very prompt and polite. Overall a great find and I will return when I'm in the area again. read more

I decided to try this little sushi place in my hometown, and I am SO HAPPY I did!!! Typically when I want good, fresh sushi I have to drive to either Syracuse or Utica. NOT ANYMORE! I was so surprised to find such well made sushi in Oneida. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They have more than just sushi which is always nice. The pork dumplings and crab rangoon were delicious. Miso soup was yummy. Sushi was amazing and all the fish tasted fresh. Presentation was beautiful. Prices were unbelievably low. I LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

We came here for sushi from reviews and we were not disappointed. Started with a delicious flavorful miso soup with tender tofu pieces. Sushi and Sashimi was spectacular and fresh. The food was so good we came back for lunch the next day. Also getting sushi and sashimi but I decided to try the shrimp hibachi. The shrimp was fresh and plentiful, perfectly cooked vegetables and the rice was fluffy and great tasting. We are visiting from out of town but the next trip back we will eat here again! You will enjoy! read more

Oneida now has two amazing sushi places. This location is historic for Oneida. So many great places in this spot. This sushi establishment lives up to the legacy. The staff is very friendly and the food was amazing. I had an avocado salad, a tiger roll and the ocean roll. Everything was delicious. read more

Place doesn't look like much from the outside. The godzilla room was great, the crab Rangoon was really good. Little bit of yum yum sauce and the hibachi was fantastic as well. Ignore the ascetic food is really good read more

First of all I have eaten from every place in Oneida that sells sushi. This place is quick and absolutely delicious. Every time I've picked up an order the staff has been friendly and helpful. Will continue to order and enjoy. Thank you! read more

Quaint little Japanese restaurant that had fantastic & fresh food. Prices were very reasonable. We were the only dine-in patrons during lunch time, but they had lots of carry-out business. Masks not required for patrons, but employees wore masks. Located in downtown Oneida in what I was told was part of the old drugstore. read more

Nice place for sushi and hibachis steak. Their menu has a nice selection of sushi and Japanese dinner entrees. Service is nice and friendly.

The food is very good, fresh and they have great vegetarian options. Friendly and prompt service. I hope they are here permanently!!

Very much enjoy this place. Only a few seats to dine in, but the take out has been quick every time I've been there. Delicious sushi of the quality you'd expect at a sushi restaurant read more

Very creative and tasteful. We travel full time and appreciate good sushi, which has made Ocean Sushi a hit on our travels. We will definitely come back when we drive through Oneida again (meaning we will schedule a visit in Oneida just to return to Ocean Sushi). read more
