I took a party of 5 to this restaurant, the first sushi chef we had was a bit rude. I asked him for 5 orders of salmon nigir and he said "give me a minute." But in a tone that made you want to not talk. He made sushi farily quick, but he over filled the rolls with ingredients. I asked more a mountain long roll, the sushi roll was very all. As soon as i got half way of my roll I bit into one piece and I almost gagged and threw up. I dont know if he accidently added an extra ingridient by accident. A gooey ball bursted in my mouth, i dont know if it was a gian fish egg or what? But I had to swallow it; I did not want to barf over the table. Everyone else was creeped out by him. After an hour he left and we received a new chef. His name was Tony. Everyone liked Tone. He talked with us, he laughed and he even made my girlfriend a special roll! I ordered 2 orders of muscle without mayo. Wow! is all I can really say about those muscles. He added extra ingredients to them and made them outstanding! W all tipped Tony personally. Just him and we all tipped him very very high! I cant give a higher rating due to the fact that I almost barghed my sushi and how creepy the first chef was. read more

Oceano is the best sushi place I ever went to !! The service is wonderful. Hannah, our waitress, was really helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. This place is a must try. And to have the best experience, ask for Hannah ! read more

We stayed at the Peppermill and ate here for a birthday. The food was delicious. Staff was friendly

Juan is a great bartender. Fast and friendly service. I am just writing more bc yelp wont post it. :) but try happy hour for oysters.

One of the top sushi restaurants in Reno. Price is just right with the 20% local discount. Recommend Salmon Nigiri, Rainbow hand roll, and the mussels. Crab melt sandwich and fish and chips are tasty as well. Would give it 5 stars if the service was better. Sushi chefs are top notch, but waiters/waitresses rarely check in on you. Need a refill? Good luck with that. Better off getting a water as the busboy will keep you topped up. read more

I just wanted to write and tell you my previous experience at Oceanos. First off the food was delightful (when it actually came out) but our service was horrible!!! Me and 3 friends came to your restaurant on Saturday night and were sat so far in the back it wasn't even decorated or anything it was right next to the kitchen and there were plenty of open seating in the dining area, we were very offended we were placed so far in the back where no one else was sitting. Then our server came and took our order and we got all you can eat sushi, we ordered our appetizers on the spot and after 15 min she hadn't come back with the appetizer or our drinks!! I asked her again for the appetizer and she said she was going to go get it now, then she came back with the drinks and no appetizer again. I put in my sushi order as did my friends and we asked about the appetizer once more. She said she would check on it and then left. 20 min later she had never came back!! I had to get up and go find a manager who apologized and went and got our appetizer. We asked if we could sit in the dining room because obviously there was no server assigned to our area, she assured us there was (although I don't understand the horrible service if we were her only customer). Then the manager left we had to ask our server 2 more times for our sushi order and finally it came out, my friends were already done with their food by the time I was able to order my second roll, and she did not once refill our drinks. Oceano's is not a cheap place and I was extremely angry with the level of service and the display of this restaurant when I came in to have a nice meal. read more

My experience at Oceano yesterday was almost amazing but I'll get into that in a second. I sat at the bar with my family while Zach served us all you can eat sushi and Jen was our server. Everything was awesome, best sushi in town and Jen was so pleasant to have as a server. My only complaint would be for another server who felt the need to come and take a glass of wine out of my hands as I was being served and rudely ask if I had been carded. This woman was not my server and had nothing to with my glass of wine. After giving her my ID she wasn't even able to read it and had to give it to ANOTHER server to look at it and tell if I was old enough, then she rudely put my glass back down and said here you go! And walked away. Now as a fellow server I know that I look young and from her perspective I probably didn't look old enough to drink but I AM! And if you have to question whether or not I'm old enough to drink you should first, go ask the server who took my order if I was carded and then 2nd politely ask if you may see my ID really quickly and that would have been perfectly suffice as I understand that I look young. But taking the glass from my hand and freaking out on me was just uncalled for. I don't know this servers name but she had blonde curly hair in a pretty up do and seemed kinda foreign, and a bit older. Aside from that me and my family had an amazing experience and will definitely be back to dine soon. read more

Our Seared Scallops with Couscous were drowned in Capers and GreeK Olives and it was so salty that it ruined the dish. When the waiter was notified...the Maitre D showed up at our table and asked if there was a problem with the food. I told her about the overly salted food and she just smiled and was very patronizing. She was to joke with staff alot and actually was not affective. The food sucked. read more

the decor was so interesting that we had to give this place a try. We went for all you can eat sushi. There are all kinds of neon sea life floating above the restaurant. it reminds me of being in some kind of sci fi movie or the spaceship chicken little get caught in. Besides the wonderful decor, there wasn't much to impress in this restaurant. The foods weren't too bad. i thought it was alright. if you love sushi, you might be disappointed. most of the foods were packed with rice fillers and very little sushi. I find the sushi interesting in taste. Because you get to order it from the all you can eat menu, things come V E R Y S-L-O-W-L-Y. I was hungry so the wait was pretty annoying. Service was very slow like 10+ minutes per order. The place is very dark so you can't really see what you are eating. Good luck should a cockroach is lurking in the foods. The biggest disappointment was the stuff I ordered never came. They kept on bringing us foods that we didn't order. How can a person make so many mistakes? I was starting to wonder if they were simply trying to get rid of certain "left over" sushi. I ended up leaving the restaurant because the wait for too long just for 2 pieces of sushi. Good luck finding anything if you accidentally leave your stuff behind. We lost our belonging here and they didn't even allow us to go back to search our seats. Good luck finding any lost articles even through the lost and found. I had a horrible experience here. Waiter didn't care, too slow, wrong sushi, lost our stuff. never again. read more

Great atmosphere!! Great food! Even better service! The sushi is phenomenal, perfect spot for our anniversary celebration !

I am here with my family to get some sushi and have waited over 2 hours for my orders. I don't know if they go to the ocean to catch fresh fish but waiting this long for some rolls is ridiculous. They can ban me from this place for writing a bad review but frankly I don't mind. read more

Came here to celebrate our 3 year anniversary and the experience was amazing! Megan is such a great server and appreciated and enjoyed her suggestions. read more

That was not Chilean Sea Bass! I don't know what I just ate, but it was dense, not flakey, bland, not buttery. I should have gone with the sushi, as the reviews sounded better for that. The free margarita with Yelp check in definitely helped things. read more

The entire team at the front counter was unfriendly. The look they gave their customers made people feel "poor"!! We planned to go for all-you-can eat, and you can tell they only wanted to sit those who go for alacarte. Will never patronize this place!!! read more

In my opinion this is best sushi place in town. If you are an all you can cram in your face person please go somewhere else. You are not the type of customer they are looking for. Order ala carte and you will be better off. They make a great burger too and have a fully cooked seafood menu as well. The pricing is in line too. read more

We ate here last night and we were very disappointed. I had high hopes for it but will not be returning. We waited 25 minutes to be sat which wasn't terrible considering it was a Saturday. However, they weren't that busy. There were several booths available but instead of seating the booths they seemed to squish everyone in at the tables in the center. It took the waiter a good ten minutes just to get our drink orders. We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and it was very good. Tender, fresh, and the breading was crispy. The calamari was the only good food we had. Our entrees took an hour to come, which like I said they were not very busy. My order was wrong, the gave me the wrong side dish. My plate had clearly been sitting under the heater for quite some time, the tarter sauce was crusted over and my food was dried out, over cooked, and rubbery. I ordered the crab stuffed prawns, they were inedible. The waiter corrected the wrong side dish but I only took one bite of the mashed potatoes because there was something stringy in that bite. My husband ordered the fried combination platter, he was not impressed. His had also been sitting, some of the pieces were hot and some were cold, it was just not up to par. We spoke to the manager who was very nice. She comped our meal and asked us if we wanted anything else off the menu, we declined as our appetites were ruined at that point. She also offered us dessert on the house and when we declined she offered us dessert to take home which we also declined but was a nice offer. Pros: the calamari and the way the manager handled our complaint Cons: everything else. read more

I haven't read any reviews, and to be honest I'm a little food drunk so you'll want to read this. When we checked into Peppermill last night I was really craving sushi, but the $27 per person for the buffet seemed too much (we haven't won big yet). Come to today and I'm still craving sushi, and the lunch buffet is only $20 a person. Doable, especially if you're into seafood. Well here we are, and after 6 rolls I cannot believe the service and quality. It's not very busy, and everyone we've talked to is so nice and friendly. Our server Hannah is the best thing. I wasn't sure if the Yelp check-in drink special was good, and she not only took it but recommended the tasty mango Mai tai. It's sweet, but light and refreshing; no cheap mango taste that's too sugary. She really was great and took great care of us. Alfonso was our sushi guy at the bar, and was professional and friendly. I was getting full but loved the taste of the first role I had (Crystal) so he made me an Upside Down Shrimp (A+) and after that handed me another plate of sushi with some of my favorite flavors. I asked him what it was and he said he was just testing stuff out. If we lived in Reno, this would be our date night spot every week. Angel (I'm not sure if he was a manager of hostess) was also super friendly and chatted about football with us. I mean, the people are amazing, the food is fresh and SOO tasty. The lunch buffet is definitely worth trying. read more

Sushi is great. Lynn is even better. I'd come just for her. I'll be back for both the food and her service.

Oceano promotes itself as mostly a sushi restaurant, but also has other seafood and non-seafood selections. We don't eat sushi, but the other options seemed promising, so we gave it a try. We didn't have reservations on a Saturday night but they got us seated within 20 minutes, and the other Peppermill restaurants were saying 45 minutes at least. The decor seems as though it should be really cool with all of the colored glass and ocean-themed design, but it felt more like a cafeteria/buffet than a restaurant with so many tables and a very open floor design. Our waitress was wonderful. Very sweet, helpful, and professional. We ordered the fried calamari appetizer and it was very good. Lots of flavor to the batter. The weird thing was that they also bring you a basket of crusty sourdough bread slices with butter. This seemed really out of place in a sushi restaurant. My husband had a steak and I had the crab-stuffed prawns. His steak was cooked to his specifications but was a bit fatty. The crab cake mixture surrounding my prawns was oversalted and tasted like cafeteria food, as did the mixed vegetables (plain steamed broccoli and cauliflower). read more

My wife and I had dinner here tonight. Jeremy waited on us and was great. Alex and Wen made all of our sushi and it was awesome. David the manager helped keep our experience great on a very busy night. We will be back!!! read more

This was my first experience with sushi. I am a seafood lover but have never felt the need to try sushi, until this trip. Several of the people we are at the resort with RAVED about the sushi and since they were frequent sushi eaters, we thought we should try. Since my husband and I both own our own businesses and mine is a restaurant, I sometimes hate to eat out. I can find a flaw without even looking. I am critical of waiters (usually only in my head lol), and EXTREMELY critical of the cleanliness of a restaurant. I was BLOWN AWAY by the ENTIRE staff and the food! We sat in a booth that gave us a complete view of the ladies making the sushi. I was not happy about this at first since I was sure I would witness something that would gross me out lol. I was surprised when nothing did. I also hate eating out since I have Celiac and cannot eat wheat. This has made it almost impossible for me to eat Chinese food so I was very worried I would get to eat nothing off the menu as it is the sauces that are the problem. The second I informed my waiter (the part of the meal I hate as some are either less than helpful or just plain rude), he started to share what items he loves that he KNEW I could eat. The relief I felt was overwhelming. I was recommended several (the names escape me, I was just so thrilled I could eat them!) and my husband and I told him we would try them all. It was thrilling to have such a knowledgeable, pleasant, helpful and caring waiter. THANK YOU Micheal (I THINK his name tag said he was from California). Our water never got low thanks to the young man that kept making sure it was full. He was so swift I hardly noticed him doing it. The TASTE WAS AWESOME!!! We were SO impressed with EVERYTHING(this included the bartender at the front of the restaurant, who served us while we waited for our table) and had so much fun that we asked to speak to the Manager Tim. He was very pleased to hear what we had to say and extremely pleasant to talk to . I would include this as a must go if you visit Reno. The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was fun. read more

My girlfriend and I love this restaurant. Everything's always fresh and prompt. The staff is excellent! Shout out to our sweet waitress Hannah!!! read more

Very great place for all you can eat sushi. Hannah was my waiter and she is awesome. And remember to check in on yelp to get a free drink. Thank you Oceano! See you later! read more

My first impression of Oceano was that it looks like what would happen if I dropped acid while scuba diving. Eclectic is an understatement when it comes to this place and I was weirded out by the jellyfish lamps, the sea creature props, and the neon lights with mirrors that the Peppermill is infamous for but got used to it when I sat down. The food was okay but nothing special, just stick to the New England Clam Chowder if you are ordering soup. I also ordered their Shrimp Scampi, which was okay but again, not the best scampi in the world. I felt that my food was too expensive, because the seafood was overrated and not the best quality, considering that it's Nevada and it's nowhere near a sea, so that can only mean one thing...the seafood is IMPORTED! It's frozen and shipped to landlocked states like Nevada because they aren't blessed with a shore like California, so don't expect the seafood to be the best in quality. It's still a good place to visit and trip out on the decor while eating okay food and the waiting staff are friendly which I find important in every restaurant. read more

Well we had $15 off so we decided to try it. The sushi is okay not great, first time I've had deep fried sushi and it was pretty good. Tried the Happy and it was a little on the spicy side which I was expecting also tried the Mountain and it was disappointing, I didn't even order it but after two pieces realized it wasn;t what I ordered the waitress brought me the wrong thing... My husband got the all you can eat sushi and loved the scallops but in conparison to Sushi Pier (our regular) it was more presentation than taste. The clam chowder was good! I got the lunch special with chowder, salad and sour dough bread. Never got the sour dough but the salad was interesting! Shrimp, beets, egg, soggy croutons and a mix between spinach and lettuce, I was impressed. Honestly, I would never go back and pay full price but if they send us another coupon... maybe. Even with the local 20% off I might do a small lunch but never order the all to eat sushi, it is inferior to most sushi places. The atmosphere is nice and our waitress was attentive. Overall a solid 2 stars, nothing more, nothing less! read more

I have been to the Oceano with my family many times, and have finally gotten around to writing a review. This past time that I went was particularly wonderful! The three of us sat at the bar, and our chef was Alejandro. He took special care in making our orders to our liking, and had a great sense of humor. I plan to ask for him the next time we visit. The waitstaff were all very attentive, and the sushi was exceptional. I love visiting different restaurants in Reno to scope out their rolls, but I always find myself coming back to the Oceano. My only complaint is that the interior decor used to be more fun... read more

Really Peppermill? I expected SO much better from you, the service was slow, the restaurant wasn't busy, and the food was expensive and very mediocre. Started with some yellowtail sashimi, which wasn't too fresh, almost redolent of a canned tuna flavor. My companion had a crabcake appetizer, which was merely OK. I was excited to see monkfish on the menu, pretty rare to see out here, it was so charred and overcooked - 4 small pieces on a grilled leek, burnt black, for $26. I showed the manager Jennifer? my obviously overcooked fish jerky which she took off the bill, but you could tell it ticked her off. I WISH I HAD THOUGHT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT. Not to mention, she had to show it to 2 different people in the restaurant and took her time doing so, I got to the point of just wanting to pay for the crap so I could leave. Usually, when I have a bad experience at a restarant I want to like, I'll give them another shot. Not this place, though...forget it. Way too expensive and honestly, ijji is better with their sushi, and that's saying something, cause that place makes me leery. read more

Beautiful setting, love the ambience, and the food was delicious and their all you can eat sushi is a great deal and with great sushi

i loved the whole ocean theme... but after waiting a half an hour to sit was a hungrey... we order sushi as an appativer, which was supper good but took 45 mintues to get to us :( .. then when our food came 30 minutes later.. my cioppino sucked!!! my sister had oyster in a half shell... disgusting!!!!! and i mean u cant fuck up fish n chips... the whole thing i liked was my 12 $ valcano drink which i got to keep the cup. service was ok read more

Restaurant is LOUD and I don't mean volume.. I felt like I was at Disneyland, sensory overload. I had the tuna tower and a roll and both were decent. BF had the halibut..... NASTY. Service was attentive. I also ordered a mojito.. it was missing the mint leaves - how do you have a mojito without mint? It was noticed by the server and taken back.. appreciated it but 2nd round wasn't much better. Dinner for 2 was about $65... over-priced if you ask me. Would maybe go back for lunch but not for a quiet dinner for two. read more

the food is kind of tasteless, the size of the stuff is big. only d oysters were good... I hate it. for that kind of price i wouldn't go again!! read more

the choices for all you can eat sushi at lunch time are excellent. service is ok.

oysters didn't Taste fresh. sushi fake crab. this is our 3rd time, and i think i'll pass next time around. i'm sure there are more hidden tasty treasures in reno. read more

Wow, if you need any reason to go to Reno (other than the craps tables, ha), now you have one...Oceano. My folks go up to the Peppermill often so they earned some free stays there. I was able to take one of the comps while my daughter and I took a brief road trip to the mountains. We stayed one night at the resort and walked by the Oceano earlier in the day. Later we had quite an appetite so decided to go and have some sushi. We looked at the menu and saw that we could pay a fixed price (think it was around 35 dollars per person) for all we can eat at the sushi bar. We sat and just let the sushi chef create different rolls for us. They were delicious. I have always stayed away fromvsushi buffets or all you can eat, but the sushi at Oceano was fresh, tasty, and our chef was more than happy to recommend new dishes for us. Waiters were very attentive and always checked on us to see if we wanted any side orders or anything else to drink. We had a great meal and enjoyed the food. Have to say, Oceano has now made Reno a destination for us...if anything, just the sushi bar. So yummy. read more

In Reno for cribbage tournament and staying at the Peppermill Casino. Went to Oceano. Not only is the food fabulous but our waitress Meghan was amazing we came back just to see her again! When your in Reno and want great seafood and even better service eat at Oceano and ask for Meghan from Big Sky Country!!! read more

Awesome all u can eat sushi! Best place to eat for lunch. Ambiance is excellent and servers are very well trained professionals. The sushi is priced on the upper limits, but still within reason for the excellent quality food rhey serve. read more

Love the oysters here. Sushi are always fresh. Service is good. Just prepare to wait for long time if you don't make reservation in advance.

Food was delicious! I had the Chilean seabass $34 and a cup of lobster bisque for $6. Portion was definitely fair considering the prices. They weren't stingy with the fish. It had a crunchy breadcrumb exterior with a moist buttery flakey interior. Even the cauliflower was seasoned well to perfection. The lobster bisque had chunks of lobster in it & i damn near licked the bowl clean. I'll definitely be back. I wish i had known about the king crab legs prior to ordering though. I saw them bringing it to another table and one order had 4 large legs for $44, next time. Overall a great experience, food was delicious. My friend ordered the crab stuffed prawns wrapped in bacon with a mushroom chardonnay risotto which was delicious as well read more

The food the price and the service are hard to knock. Not top end sushi you'll find in LA or SF but for the budget minded sushi roll eater this place is hard to beat. I like the Yoshi Roll and the Oceano roll. Try the upside down shrimp as well. Anyone who complains about his place is looking for a Roll Royce for the price of a VW. Drinks and dessert are included so come there hungry. read more

Waited almost 2 hours to get in as I saw many other couples and groups go in, they may have made a reservation but it did seem like they walked right in as they did not ask for a name o anything like that besides the number of ppl in their group. Also the food was undercooked i understand that some ppl like it that way but they can at least ask how you want your fish or whatever food you get. Depending on where your sitting but there is scenes on big screens switching every second which does hurt my eyes if I'm not directly staring at it. read more
