Pretty busy for a small sushi place off a main road in Oradell. My husband and I are new patrons and yelped this place craving sushi. There's parking across the street and also limited street parking.
The restaurant was very cozy with minimal seating. I would say the place seats 30-40 if you utilize the bar. Coming here on a Saturday at a busy dinner time, my husband and I opted to sit at the bar.
Service: unfortunately wasn't the best I've encountered. We sat down for a good 10 minutes before anyone came and asked us for our drinks. Understandably, there was only two waitresses, but it shouldn't have taken that long just to ask for our drink orders. Anyways, after closing our menus and chatting, someone finally came and asked us for our drinks. The second waitress came and took our food order which we didn't have to wait too long for. A few cons with sitting at the bar; the waitresses lean over you to pick up sushi orders, dirty trays are placed at the end of the bar, and take out is being packed up at the other end of the bar. Our water/tea was never refilled and our check was given to us even before asking if we wanted anything else, which we did (the tempura ice cream) and before we were ready to leave.
Food: I've had my share of sushi and this place definitely is at the top of my list. My husband ordered the chicken katsu which was probably one of the better ones I've had. The chicken is cooked right and the dish provides more than enough to share between two people. I ordered the Godzilla roll which consisted of avocados, salmon, and rice, wrapped in a tempura shell instead of the rice. It's covered in a sweet and spicy sauce which was a little over done for my personal taste, but nonetheless, the sushi was delicious. My husband HAD to get the green tea tempura ice cream, which wasn't great at all. The green tea ice cream was hard and chunky, which made me think the ice cream was getting old. Needless to say, I've had better tempura ice cream.
I do recommend this place if you're looking for good sushi in the area. I don't suggest sitting at the bar because of all the cons I've mentioned and I wouldn't come at a busy time on a Friday/Saturday. Ultimately, I would probably just order take out from this place and eat the sushi at the comfort of my own home.
I took one star away from this place because of the service. Like I said, I would come here after peak dinner hours or most likely order take out.
I have come here a few times. Recently, I came for lunch and got the salmon sashimi over rice bowl. It came with miso soup, which was delicious. The salmon sashimi was very good and fresh. The sushi rice was pretty good. Afterwards, we had the strawberry and green tea mochi ice cream, which was delicious. Service was friendly and prompt.
Parking can be found on the street or across the street in the little municipal lot.
Pretty darn good, would definitely return again.
We were running errands in the neighborhood and were craving some sushi. Ocean hit the spot! The lunch boxes are moderately priced, and give you a good amount of food. The sushi was fresh and tasty. And their fresh green iced tea was refreshing and yummy.
I don't spend a ton of time in Oradell, but if I want sushi and happen to be in the area, Ill be back.
Japanese restaurant with run by by a nice Korean family. The menu had some Korean cuisine in it like "hwe dup bap"( sashimi bibimbap), bulgogi platter. My husband wanted to try a different Japanese restaurant and we found this place in yelp.
We went there for a early dinner, 2 tables were occupied. BYOB is always plus for us who love to bring our own wine. We ordered soft shell crab Kara age. We loved it! It was soft but had a crispy texture with full of crab flavor. Ordered some rolls for main course. They were all well-made and delicious. My favorite was thunder roll which was special for the night. Service was great but I only saw one server. It could get hectic at busy evening I thought.
It was great option for us to try different Japanese restaurant. They didn't have bento box or manager special which can taste little bit of simple stuff. They are not authentic Japanese. But if you like decent rolls, this place could be one of the option.
Parking at street or municipal parking.
I live in River Edge and just found out about this restaurant approximately six months ago. Typically I would go to Fuki sushi for good, local inexpensive sushi… Until now. I have not been back to Fuki since I discovered this restaurant. It Is an excellent price to quality ratio.
By far the best quality raw fish in Bergen County. Since moving back from California I have been in search for a Japanese restaurant whose sushi quality was on par with the fresh fish of CA. Finally found a gem here. The fish is always fresh and tasty. The hot dishes are excellent and their restaurant special appetizer is a nice touch. The restaurant atmosphere is really nice and relaxing especially after a long day at work. If taking the train to and from NY make sure to stop here and try the Ocean Roll!
Ocean Sushi is a great local sushi spot. I always walk out of here completely stuffed. The atmosphere is pretty nice. They actually put a cloth hanging up to separate some of the tables so it feels a bit more intimate. The service is always outstanding; they are very attentive. I have tried many sushi rolls here including the Dragon Roll (one of my favorites- I love the warm eel inside mixed with cold avocado on top), Riverside Roll, Sexy Roll (the name is hilarious but it's soo good! I always get this one), What's going on roll and, of course, the Oh My God Roll- the entire roll is tempura and it's outstanding!! I also always get Miso Soup and Seaweed Salad. The seaweed salad could be bigger- they do the famous trick where they put romaine lettuce under the salad -__- but it's still very tasty and not too oily. I've been here at least 10 times so I guess I'm considered a regular here. It's a great place that worth a try! you will love it. Oh, and it's BYOB!
It's always nice going back home and catching up with friends. I was able to do that here and enjoy some pretty good sushi too. Ocean Sushi is a BYOB and is just as empty as I remember it. I guess it has more of a take out clientele. The space is very open, nice and clean. Im a little surprised it doesnt have a little more traffic but then again its Oradell so God forbid there be thriving restaurant businesses in town. Parking was annoying I suppose just because it's winter time and if you arent lucky enough to secure a spot right in front and avoid being run over by the a- holes flying down Oradell Ave then you have to park on the side street or commuter parking lots. Beyond that though the service and food were very good. Our waitress was very sweet and not over attentive. We started off with edamame and gyoza. She also brought us out complimentary tempura pancakes which were delicious. We ordered a few specialty rolls to split; Oradell Roll, Oh My God Roll, Ocean & Sexy Roll. All were very fresh and tasty. Definitely a good spot & would come back.
