Holy moly! This is some of the best sushi I've ever had. Every ingredient is SO fresh.Got the tuna mayo maki with yellow tail and avocado on top.. and they were nice enough to put spicy mayo on the side! Definitely coming back for more. read more

Always fresh sushi, good size pieces and some of the best customer service I have come across anywhere. Any time I get asked to recommend a good sushi restaurant, I don't hesitate to say "Ocean in Melrose"! What a great local business to support during these times. read more

Great service and accommodation to food allergies! Thank you for doing that and we will definitely return. read more

Ocean Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

Came here Saturday night for the first time based on reviews . Pretty easy to find , in a complex by a set of apartments /condos . Staff was extremely friendly when we picked up our food . When we got home sushi was good ! Nicely priced as well . Miso soup was just okay . Will be back again read more

Good sushi for a great price! I typically order my sushi for take out and it's usually ready in under 15 minutes. The sashimi portions are great and the lunch combos are pleasantly filling. read more

Awesome sushi! The person that took my order was really nice and patient. The sushi was fresh and delicious!

Great sushi! Very clean and the staff is welcoming. It's reasonably priced, with a casual setting. Overall a lovely lunch spot.

I'm really picky with sushi...it's not that easy to make it right! First ordered from Ocean Sushi, but not the last. It was the best I've tired and not just around the area! Super fresh and delicious. Thank you!!!! read more

They've improved! Service was fast and friendly. Our server was very careful in handling my request that the sushi be made gluten-free (without tempura flake) and she checked with the chef before placing the order. The food was very fresh and flavorful. Sadly the maki (rolls) were still a little skimpy on the fish, but they made up for it with their lunch special price. I would have been disappointed if I had received rolls with so little fish for dinner (at dinner prices), but for a good cheap lunch, this was just fine. (I hope they make their dinner rolls bigger, with more fish! If I go back for dinner, I'll update my review.) read more

Our favorite sushi place. Some of the best customer service I've ever experienced and their Unagi Maki is to die for. They are great at making dietary accommodations and very conscious of allergies and other needs read more

I went for lunch and got the sashimi lunch special. The sashimi pieces are huge and very filling. The miso soup was...let's just say I couldn't pass two sips. As for the salad..I don't think you can go wrong with that. Overall, I probably wouldn't comeback without a really good coupon. I'll try something else read more

See all

I've gone back in here a couple times. I so want to love this place since it's so close to my house & I LOVE Japanese food. Plus the staff here are always extremely friendly. Wonderful people who work here. Their house salad is really good, very good portion for a fair price. They normally will have a daily special on a sushi roll. That is a good deal, I recommend trying those. I've tried the Shumai Appitizer - wasn't impressed, the appitizer is $5.95, they give you 6 peices...they are tiny & NOT worth $1 each!!! I've tried the Crab Rangoon Appitizer - again wasn't impressed, the appitizer is $7.95, they give you 8 peices...they're bland, they taste of cream cheese and onion, I didn't taste any crab in them...wouldn't order them again. I've tried a handful of the Maki rolls & they are good, but only worth the price when they are the special of the day. I just can't justify paying those prices for Japanese food. Best Japanese food in MA has to be Maki Maki in Woburn... 1 set price... all you can eat. You leave with your stomach full... & not with an empty wallet. read more

Everything was DRY!!! I couldn't even eat it. The rice is good. The miso soup was alright. But the salmon was insanely dry. It was raw too. I would recommend not going here. read more

My new favorite sushi spot! I'm obsessed with their Naruto rolls. Everything is amazing :)

This is one of my go to sushi lately. I loved that they offered variety of raw sushi, cooked sushi and vegetarian. They also have other entrees such as teriyaki, udon noodles, and curry. The quality of the sushi are excellent. They are fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants variety. read more

Excellent sushi, service is good when they are slow. Dropped the check and didn't ask if we wanted another glass of wine or anything. Food is fresh. I'll definitely be back. read more

Pleasant environment and great prices! I love their list of Asian beers and cold sake. Best options I have even seen for vegetarian/vegan makis! I will certainly be back. read more

I came here with my with a party of 15 and left a bit disappointed. I must say, the place is beautiful and nicely decorated, but it is definitely not fit for large parties. I warn everyone that it is very very small. For apps, we got 2 seaweed salads, fried oysters, and more. We ordered 4 different rolls, the sashimi combo and the largest boat. For entrees, we ordered some udon noodles and fried rice. Oh goodness, let me tell you that the wait took forever. We waited almost 2 hours for everything to come out and everything came put at weird times. The seaweed salad came out cold and still had ice on it! The same goes to the sashimi that came on our boats. I was extremely disappointed. I understand that they are supposed to be frozen, but the fish and seaweed should have been already defrosted... not to mention the tempura in our sushi rolls were stale. I was extremely disappointed. .. I assume our party was too big for them to supply so I really don't recommend large parties or your food will be used with frozen or stale items. Service overall was really good, but food was disappointing. read more

Awesome fresh sushi and great interior for dining in. Not priced too expensive but accurately for high quality fish. 10/10 would recommend

This is my favorite sushi place that I've found in this area so far. The fried rice is phenomenal.

This has to be one of the best sushi if not the best sushi I have ever had. The Snow mountain is amazing and the wait staff is super nice. Loved everything about this place. Only down fall is the wait for your food after you order is very long. Wish they would have more sushi chefs working on the order. That's my only hesitation about going again having to wait so long. read more

I was at work, my coworkers were ordering sushi from this place for lunch. We order a pick up! Salmon avocado maki was delicious! Shrimp tempura maki my first time trying it, i loved! California maki i had before was very good! Mango California maki i could taste the mango was so fresh! Red lion sushiritto very nice made! And tempura spicy seafood maki with extra wassabi on the side! Every thing was fresh and good! Friendly employee!!! I recommend was a great sushi for lunch!!! read more

Two years later and this restaurant is still amazing. I called ahead to see if they could seat 8 people and when we got there the restaurant was packed (of course!). We checked in and they had a table waiting for us - so awesome. It was my first time for my family... everyone loved it even my two sisters who are (let's be honest) sushi snobs LOL. What I loved best was they were very accommodating to the kids and also my Mom, who has as low-sodium diet. They were able to make her a very special and oh so delicious scallop fried rice. I've never seen her finish a meal so fast! Thank you again Ocean Sushi for an amazing family dinner - can't want to come back! read more

I'm writing as I'm waiting for my food. I am appalled by the horrible service--It's been 45 minutes! The table next to us sat down after us, ordered before us and is already finished and I still don't have one thing on my table. There is one server for 10 tables. Unacceptable. Finally, my food has arrived! It's delicious but I don't know if it can make up for the extremely poor service I received tonight. I had high hopes for you, Ocean Sushi. I'll guess I'll see you never. read more

First time at ocean sushi tonight and we were very impressed. It's small, and there was a large party who took up most of the two person tables. The host, Lee, told us the wait could possibly be 1 hour which seemed about right. We opted for the last 2 seats at the sushi bar. Water was brought right away with the menus. The place is super clean and the ambiance is cool and quiet despite the close proximity of the tables. Our waitress was attentive but not pushy and our appetizers were brought right away along with some "on the house" edamame! The free app was a nice touch because the waitress was honest and said our sushi would take a while to be prepared. When the sushi finally arrived it was fantastic. Fresh and they definitely do not skimp on the portions. Prices are very reasonable, id say a bit less expensive than the local competition. So...to sum it up i will definitely return and I recommend this place. Not only was the food delicious, but the cleanliness and great service put it way over the top for me read more

Ocean Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

I have ordered from Ocean Sushi at least once a month (more so in the winter when I'm not traveling) and I have to say, this place is five stars. It's hard to find trustworthy delivery sushi-any sushi lover knows this- but as someone who is very picky the only "bad" experience I've had here is when they forgot to add a roll to my order, so they CAME BACK AND DELIVERED IT FOR FREE! It was delicious as always, and they always remember my name :D I love it here!! They're my go-to place for nights I don't feel like cooking or just plain want to have great sushi and wine without leaving my sofa. read more

Nice small place, but nothing spetacular. Sushi was ok, and sashimi as well. The fride calamari was not well done. I had a much higher expectation reading all the reviews here.. read more

If you don't look closely, you could be driving right past a gem of a restaurant. Co-worker and I found this place on Yelp and decided to stop by for lunch. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a very friendly staff that greets you when you walk in. We opted for their lunch specials and we were so surprised on the quality of their food. Super fresh, high quality cuts of fish. Food came out fairly quickly and the waiter kept our water cups filled. Overall, our experience at Ocean Sushi was super. Would absolutely recommend, and would come back if I'm ever in the area! read more

This place is inexpensive for fresh sushi. Really good spot for a quick lunch...many different lunch combination specials with sushi and apps. 1 star off because the service isn't great. It closes in between lunch and dinner for a bit so be sure to be aware of the hours. read more

Gold Mine!!! From out of town, here for vacation and found this gem of a place. Quaint with only 9 tables and a sushi bar. Fantastic sushi at the right price too!! HUGE rolls (maki) and awesome everything else! Unfortunately, this is our last evening in town or we'd be back! Wicked good! read more

My boyfriend and I get delivery from Ocean Sushi fairly often. The service is always super friendly the food is always fresh and delicious. Some of our favorites are the Godzilla Maki, California Maki, Spicy Tuna, Green Mile, and the miso soup. Try them out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Sushi is amazing every time. Ocean Sushi is extremely generous with the raw fish and never overload the rolls with too much rice. Our sushi has always been fresh and the staff always friendly. read more

I had a hard time believing this place could really justify such good reviews. To my pleasant surprise it does - everything is right about it. The staff is super nice, the quality of the fish is great and the sushi portions are huge. Oh! And everything is organic form the ride to the soy sauce. Really happy with their selection of rolls too. This will now be our go-sushi place. read more

It was ok sushi maybe I came a l little late around 9 pm servers are already cleaning everything even if O don't finish the dish. Sushi was big but i was expecting better than buffet sushi it is just bigger than buffet sushi read more

I crave sushi all the time and this is one of my favorite places to order from. It's super cheap for sushi. The best time to order is during lunch 11am-3pm. Their lunch deal is unbeatable. I also tried their DIY poke bowl the other day and it was really good! Super filling and worth it. I've never actually eaten inside the restaurant, but whenever I pick up, I am greeted nicely. Highly recommend this place! read more

A great place for sushi. The fish and seafood were fresh and the service was great (they were very attentive)!

Phenomenal! My husband and I have been hunting for a new favorite sushi place in Greater Boston since Osushi near Back Bay closed a couple of years ago, and we finally found it! The ambience is pleasant, and the sushi is high quality. Portion sizes are generous, and prices are reasonable, plus unlike downtown it's easy to find parking. We went on a Sunday night (it was fairly quiet) and received excellent service. We each ordered combos complete with miso and salad. Our only complaint is that all the food came out at once - we would have preferred to start with the soup and salad. We'll certainly be coming back. read more

Free delivery! No minimum! Amazing lunch specials! I've only been here twice but the staff is amazing, prompt and super friendly. Sushi is a good price, they only complaints was that I wasn't a fan of their mackerel (it wasn't the worst, it wasn't the best), but other than that I love this place. I'm so glad its within walking distance! hahah read more
