Maryland Fried Rice is delicious! We were already full from the fantastic miso soup, shumai, seaweed salad, and Chef's choice sushi, but when we saw a neighboring table served fried rice and the server then explained to us their speciality of Maryland fried rice with the added remark, "hard to believe you've been here several times before and have not tried this dish. Once you do, you will order it every time!" She is right! Thank you for another wonderful meal! read more

The lemon roll is the best!!!! Highly recommend this place!! Lemon Roll Great happy hour! read more

Their food is so fresh! It's very important to eat Sushi and sashimi. And I am a fan of sashimi. Their size, cut and cut area are correct ! Which is soooo important for me. Highly recommend. And their restaurant is busy, they are staffed. Just busy read more

OC Wasabi - Absolutely best sashimi around the area. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

I came here Sunday and didn't realize they had a 30% sale Sundays, which is neat. We ordered the gyoza, california roll, chicken kotsu, and chicken teriyaki. The sushi was great, but everything else was just sub-par. The chicken teriyaki was really dry and the vegetables were flavorless. Which is really surprising for a Japanese restaurant-- at least the ones I've been to in the past-- since most times you'd expect to have some kind of flavor. Then the kotsu tasted ok, but it tasted just like fried chicken, the sauce provided was similar to steak sauce as well. The vegetables included in our orders weren't even sliced. They were just huge cut pieces. 1 carrot, 1 cucumber, 1 asparagus, and 2 things of broccoli. The gyoza was fried as well, and the insides were a little undercooked. House salad was a mess, the ginger dressing was interesting and the texture was clumpy. The miso soup was good however, which was nice. In terms of atmosphere, the interior design was nice, interesting choice of color and decor. HOWEVER, there were so many FLIES!! Which is a major red flag for cleanliness of the kitchen! Definitely will not come back again and I don't recommend anyone who enjoys authentic Japanese cuisine to dine here either. It felt like an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Someone needs to get Gordon Ramsey out here ASAP!!!! Also, country music is something you wouldn't normally expect from a Japanese restaurant read more

This experience was disappointing. The gentleman at the bar was very nice, the young woman at the hostess stand was kind as well, but who I assume is the manager was quite grumpy. Upon entering, she stepped in front of the hostess stand and simply looked at us rudely. Food was alright, tables were sticky, ambiance was very noisy as cars in this area tend to accelerate aggressively, letting their exhaust drown out any and all conversations at the table. All the servers were kind and attentive, and the place looks appealing. Also, manager seemed rattled when we said we had no reservation (we're from out of town). She made a huge deal about how we'll only be able to sit outside unless we wait until 6:30pm. Seated at 5:41pm, almost 7pm and one single family went in just to also be seated outside...the many open tables inside is perplexing. More people have left than have entered, so now I'm confused. read more

Based on the reviews we decided to stop by for dinner. Didn't make a reservation but we got to sit outside which was nice. We ordered the miso soup which was delicious. We also ordered sushi rolls - two basic ones - cucumber and spicy tuna . And we ordered two specialty rolls - the Lemon roll and the Baked Phatty Jay. The Lemon was very refreshing. The Phatty was like eating comfort food. I truly don't know which one I liked better. Glad we stopped here for dinner. We will definitely be back. read more

Was craving some sushi while in Ocean City and decided to check this place. The restaurant was very confusing because they had about 2-3 doors. The first door we passed said they opened at 4 pm. We got there around 3:45 pm so decided to walk further down the street to explore. On the way back, we encountered a different door that said they opened beginning at noon. While sitting inside the restaurant, we saw many patrons trying to open a locked door. It would be helpful they had signs on the locked door directing them to the correct door. We ordered a couple of drinks: huckleberry lemonade and the stoned mule. Both were delicious but they were consistent in the amount of alcohol they put in them. My friend tried my stoned mule and liked it so ordered one for herself. Mine was just right but hers just tasted like straight liquor and was really strong. We ordered the G-Money roll, Dragon roll, spicy salmon, shrimp tempura and yellowtail. All of them were fresh and delicious. The only complaint is that the specialty rolls were significantly smaller than I'm used to - which was disappointing. read more

Sorry but this was the worst sushi. The menu doesnt even state the sushi has wasabi sauce in it. And even when it didnt, the fish didnt taste fresh and dropped about $120 for couple rolls and couple appetizers. Not worth it. Only thing decent was the tempura. No one can really mess up tempura though i hope..so ill give it a 2 instead of 1. read more

Service and staff on point, friendly and good. Sushi. No bueno, rice is mushy and bland they don't even add wasabi to the nigiri like tradition. Maybe catering to their clienteles taste buds. The raw fish was also not cleanly cut so maybe not actual trained sushi chef but just restaurant chefs or something. So far haven't had much luck finding good sushi in these beach towns. I always assume wrongly they'd be good bc of the ocean and all lol. Having said all that could just be the chef on duty at the time bc they do have good reviews overall. But it was a Friday night I'd hope their best chef would be working. read more

Disappointing out come dinner Sorry to say the sushi here isn't up to par far from it poor quantity sushi , we had some baby octopuses that grossly prepared the standard rolls were made totally different & less of read more

Came here for date night and had a very good experience, we usually order to go but tonight we ate on the front patio. We called ahead just to make sure they allow pets because we had our little chihuahua and our friends had their lab puppy. After being turned away from an old favorite right down the street that no longer allows pets, we were a little bummed, but the lady on the phone sounded happy to tell us they don't mind pets and the outdoor bench seat is dog friendly. We got a California roll, a cucumber roll and a few other things off the sushi menu as well as a serving of shrimp fried rice to share. Ended the night off with their fried ice cream (which i highly recommend). All around we had a great night. Food wasn't too pricey and we finally got to eat at the place we always get take away from, great atmosphere and the friendliest staff imaginable. We will definitely be returning. read more

I thought the sushi was decent, friendly staff. Extra star for being open year round.

There's a lot to like about OC Wasabi. The sushi is fresh and prepared well. There's quite a few options and the staff are friendly and engaging. I ordered the Ocean's Sushi Delux which had 10 pieces of nagiri sushi and they were nice enough to sub-out the California roll for salmon roll, which I greatly prefer. My wife had the dynamite roll and fried rice and genuinely enjoyed both. My two critiques: prices are about 40% higher than what we pay back home in Baltimore. I understand things are expensive here, but a 50% mark up is very steep. Second, the miso soup was terrible and We could not eat it. They actually forgot to pack it in our to-go order and I had to walk back to get it, so it was disappointing that it was not edible. It was entirely too salty, as if someone dropped a whole shaker of salt in it. Apart from these two things it was a fun experience. Edit: I Lowered my rating because the owner contacted me with an obnoxious invitation to return while implying my critiques were wrong. Super unprofessional. read more

I placed a order for take out and everything was delicious and ready the time they said. There salmon sashimi is very fresh and tasty.

Everything was amazing! Great experience for a Californian who knows great sushi. Service was quick and the food delicious, we will def go back! read more

I really wanted to like OC Wasabi. The wait staff seemed upbeat, the food looked good, the decor was different than any other sushi place. However, the service and the quality of food was horrid. We sat down and waited 10 mins before anyone asked us what we wanted to drink. Our waiter/waitress did I not take our order for another 20 mins. We were hungry so we stayed, wish we did not. The food came and the sushi was not cold, the fish was cut so tiny, and the rolls we small. You get 6 pieces and some you get 8. The pieces are cut so small. This has to be the single worst $ I have spent and I will not be going back. Here is how small the rolls are, mind you this is a ichiban roll. We also ordered spicy tuna, but what they gave me was a small slice of tuna with a splash of spicy Mayo. read more

OC Wasabi - Roll with my fingertip for size comparison. Such a small roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

This place is fantastic! Living in north central PA I have limited sushi options (to say the least) but having lived in Hawaii and Florida I can say this place is legit! Very laid back atmosphere. Excellent service, from the host station to the server to the bussers. The have a couple of the low table seating options and so many menu options I'm thinking of coming back once or a few times this week! Everything was delicious, I starters w miso soup then had the carpaccio with I HIGHLY recommend and a few of the specialty rolls. I also ordered the Asian pear sake - nice carafe portion for The price, and everything start to finish was perfection! Will definitely come here every time I crave sushi in OCMD read more

Chip is the best. Hands down. Knows everything. Buy a "sushi tendencies" tshirt from him. Fab.

Where to start... we were recommended by a waiter from Rope Walk to goto OC Wasabi and he was right! Waitress (Taylor?) was bubbly and sweet. She was very attentive and fast with drinks. Next, miso soup was on point. Of course, the star was the sushi. It was all fresh and delicious. All of the ingredients were super fragrant. Had a couple of specialty rolls and then some standard sushi. All of it was fantastic. I left full, but wanting more. I would definitely return to this great sushi spot. Also, their bartender Chip makes some really great merch and I bought a cool shirt from him. read more

Food was very good, service was also great. We went for a birthday and they made that great. I would record and I would go back.

They were highly recommended by my hotel on how good the food was. I got there and the reception was nice! Went to the bar and the Bartender was soooooo engaged in a conversation with a Woman. Once she acknowledged me it was kinda awkward. I hate to play the racist card even though I was the only African American there, she seemed a little stand-offish..... BLOWS ME as I'm starting to believe Ocean City is NOT for us, they tolerate us for our $$$$! I asked for 1 drink and got something different! The tuna roll was not fresh to me either. In addition, you could have checked on me like you did others! Probably won't be back! Smh! read more

Please be careful before you tip. The suggested tips either before or after tax don't match the subtotal/total no matter how you calculate it. What are the tip suggestions for $32 before tax and $34.24 after tax? Please do the math for me cuz I'm drunk! 18% = $6.34 20% = $7.04 25% = $8.81 [my speculation] Whoops!, I got charged $35.24 without informing that they want to get away with 3% extra from the credit card processing fee!

I always get takeout sushi here. It's usually too packed to sit inside, but online ordering only takes about 15 minutes to be prepared. The inside though, does look really neat. Its dim and some tables even allow you to kneel/sit on a pillow. read more

My kiddo (14 years old) was craving sushi so we ordered to go. She got the shrimp tempura roll and gyoza and I got an OC roll. She said her items were good, and even tried my roll. It was tasty. Walking into the restaurant for pick up, they had a cute little table area up by the front window that I'd love to visit on another visit to OCMD. Prices were a tad high, so reason I took one star off. I'd probably visit again and write a follow up review. read more

We have been coming here for years. When my sister-in-law used to live in Ocean City, this was her favorite sushi restaurant and she soon convinced us that it is the best in the area. The fish is always high-quality and well prepared. The rolls vary from more simple selections to dramatic and unique flavor combinations. They have a selection of warm entrées and appetizers as well that never disappoint. The miso soup is not the best I've ever had, but certainly better than the usual miso you get at most sushi restaurants on the East Coast. The love boat is a bit oddly proportioned. For two people it is rather too much food. Interestingly the king boat, designed for four people, is perfectly proportioned. The house salad is amazing... Not because it includes any particularly outstanding selection of vegetables, but rather because the house ginger dressing is exquisite. Not too tangy, but certainly not bland. Overall I would highly recommend you go to OC wasabi during your trip to OC. read more

I'm so beyond grateful that this restaurant exists. It's so close to the beachfront, which makes it a perfect pick for when you're craving some fresh sushi by the beach. The outdoor seating is absolutely stunning... I couldn't stop staring at the decor because there was so much to take in! Though this restaurant is less casual, they were kind enough to make exceptions to the "no shirt, no service" policy you see so often at nice restaurants by the beach. The ambience of the porch (outdoor) seating was much more casual than the indoor seating, and I definitely preferred it. It was very refreshing being here! The sushi was great, and my friends got entree platters that were absolutely huge! I would've liked to see a bit more variety in the menu, specifically in their selection of meats and seafoods, but the dishes that were offered definitely did not disappoint! read more

Delicious food and wonderful service. Loved the Maryland fried rice and Ocean City sushi roll. Very low key ambiance.

This place is always a staple when we come to ocean city. We all eat sushi so we get the giant boat as an appetizer. My mom and sisters order off the menu as well, usually a teriyaki shrimp or chicken and some kind of tempura. We will be back! read more

walked in to the bar area on a Friday night and was told every seat was reserved ... but we could sit in the dining room, plenty available seating there!

This was probably our favorite meal in Ocean City! They had a great selection of creative sushi roles that were awesome tasty and fresh. Their teriyaki salmon was pretty good.
