sushi was great, fun drink menu, and the service was phenomenal. our waiter was fun and had a good sunny disposition. highly recommend.

My fist time at Ocean Wave was about a month ago. The ambiance was decent and the waitress was really nice. I can't remember the name of the sushi we had but they were so big. However, they tasted good. It makes more sense to give more bite/regular sized sushi than huge ones that won't fit in a person's mouth. The egg rolls were good too. Today, I ordered the spicy shrimp roll, shrimp fried rice, and coconut soup to go. No chopsticks or soy sauce in the bag. The sushi was huge, just like I remember it but good. The coconut soup was my favorite. read more

Best sushi for the price. Also, the cocktail menu is one of the most extensive I've ever seen outside of a cocktail bar. And I'm a big fan of the booth seating. read more

Ocean Wave - Wasabi Fizz - Sushi Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

My gosh, this place exceeded my expectations. The food is phenomenal, and the service was spot on. My wife and I had the cheese rolls and dim sum for appetizers, and they were flavorful. For entrees, we had the chicken Pad Thai and got this chili hot sauce on the side, which took the dish to the next level. I had the sushi sampler, and the sashimi was fresh and cut to perfection. All in all, I will be back. read more

I was skeptical about all of the Japanese and Thai fusion places I keep seeing all over Atlanta, but I decided to try one and I was pleasantly surprised by Ocean Wave by Harry and Sons! I decided to try the sushi even though I figured it would be subpar compared to the thai food because let's be real... sushi at a non-sushi place is usually questionable. I was really craving sushi though and the rolls were pretty decent! The portions were appropriate, I was satisfied, and the fish was fresh. I wouldn't say this is the best sushi I've ever had, but I haven't had a lot of great sushi places in Atlanta yet so I'd say this is the best so far. I think the biggest downside was that the food took quite a while to come and it also took some effort to flag down the waitress to give us our checks. Overall the whole experience took a little longer than I had expected, plus the parking was a challenge and we needed to walk quite a few blocks to get here. read more

Good service and quality, interesting but not over-the-top rolls. This was our go-to special occasion place when we lived in the area.

We just had a phenomenal lunch experience at Ocean Wave. We were in the area after visiting Atlanta Botanical Gardens, and decided to visit here with all of the great reviews. You have to pay $3 to park in the parking lot right across the street, and then jus to cross the street. COVID-19 wise, this restaurant has a lot of great precautions. All employees wore masks, tables are spread out, and masks are required for customers until seated at your table. Our server, Mamiew, was very kind. He was super speedy, and the overall wait times and service were quick. He was very attentive, and was very good about giving lots of drink refills. The food was to die for. For our appetizer, we had the Egg Rolls. It came with three egg rolls. They were very good for the three of us to share. They were very tasty, and so was the sauce that came with it. All lunch specials came with a complimentary Miso Soup or Coconut Soup. I had the Miso Soup. It was very good and had tofu in it. I added a lot of soy sauce to add flavor, as it was kind of bland before hand. For my main meal, I had the Chicken Noodle Thai Bowl from the lunch specials, and some sushi. I was not a very big fan of the Chicken Noodle Bowl. The sauce in it was very weird, and I was not a fan. This was my first experience with Thai food, so it's kind of my fault because I didn't know exactly what it was. The sushi was the best part out of anything. The Super Crunch Roll was definitely the best sushi I've ever had. The smoked salmon on it was so good, and it was heavenly. I recommend ordering as many of these as possible. The Shrimp Tempura Roll was phenomenal as well, but the Spicy Crunch Roll was better. The Californi Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll were good, but nothing compared to the other two. I look forward to coming back here multiple times in the future, and it's definitely my new favorite sushi place! read more

Really nice atmosphere, meh food. We ordered the Combo Fried Rice (chicken, beef, shrimp, and pork) which was yummy but the beef was super chewy. Also got the Combo 1 sushi (Tokyo and Super Crunch rolls) and it wasn't great. Hostess and waitesses couldn't even pretend to be nice. We were constantly thanking them and they would walk away without saying anything. read more

The food was great, I would of given it 5 stars but the service sucked. My friend and I waited 20 mins by the hostess booth for someone to even look our way to be seated. Not a hello or any sort of eye contact to let us know they'll be right with us. We also waited a long time for our food. I ordered Basil rolls with shrimp without pork (be aware they roll pork belly inside the roll), spicy coconut soup (which wasn't spicy at all but it was great), and the submarine roll which did not disappoint. I recommend and I would go back just need to have tons of patience. read more

Food was good here and service was friendly and quick! This place has sushi and Thai food. My friends wanted to get cocktails, but we weren't sure how much they cost. I had the basil rolls, chicken satay, and the California rolls. Food came out within 10 minutes of ordering on a Friday night! It tasted pretty fresh, too. My friends had a couple other sushi rolls and they really liked them. It was really easy to find a seat. There's a big area in the back of the restaurant and we were seated right after arriving and didn't have to wait. The food wasn't anything amazing (I reserve five stars for those places!) but I wasn't disappointed at all. I'd recommend going if you have a craving for sushi or Thai and want somewhere you'll be seated quickly. read more

Literally one of my favorite places IN ATL! The Coconut Soup (Tom Kha) is EVERYTHING!! I also get the Inari roll with the seaweed salad. The perfect combo. If you're a gin fav, the Night in Bangkok is a delicious martini. AND the primary server guy runs the show and doesn't miss a beat. You could easily forget its only him in the shop. read more

Great food and service. Large portions and reasonable. Prices are affordable. Cozy ambience.

Quaint. Tasty food. Nice presentation & simple. Fast service with temperature of food hot. I had the masaman curry and we shared a couple of sushi rolls. I wish my dish had potatoes & carrots in it, some Thai places do that. Complementary coconut soup. A friend & I met for lunch. Limited hours until around 2-2:30 before they close for cleanup & dinner hours. read more

The food was lovely. Came here with my Boss and co worker to celebrate our yearly bonus and all the hard work we do :) The are located on a busy street so be aware of that when you are coming. There is a convenient $3 self parking across the street which is great. The staff: was great. They suggested menu options and the menu was awesome. The only downfall about the menu is that there were soooo many options but they were all great My food was awesome. Coming back in the country I needed something to calm me down so I got the fried rice with shrimp. Will definitely be going back to this spot with Family and friends read more

Truly amazing sushi and delicious Thai dishes! I loved my tofu spicy coconut soup and my friend's hot and sour soup was delicious! We ordered the $65 love boat to share and it was more than enough for 4 of us. Two friends ordered Thai dishes that were so rich and flavorful. That was some of the best Thai food I've had in the Atlanta area. I tried their lychee martini - loved it! It's on the stronger side so I was definitely feeling a little tipsy. Not giving 5 stars because the service was a little slow. There were only 2 waitresses for the entire dining room and the place was pretty busy. We had to wait a while to place our orders and to get our drinks. I 100% recommend this place and I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the mood for sushi! read more

Down in the middle of the Virginia Highlands, Ocean Wave has got to be one of THE sushi destinations in all of Atlanta. From the moment you enter the building, twinkle lights greet you and the sound of drinks being shaken behind the bar. They have top-shelf cocktails, delicious sushi, tons of fried rice and entrees, as well as a good selection of appetizers, so let's dive into some of those Yummi dishes and cocktails. Full steam food adventure ahead! We're not monkeying around about the superior cocktails at Ocean Wave! We sipped and loved the Monkey Business Martini that combined vodka, coconut rum, pineapple and cranberry. We declared it's a tiki party in your mouth, boozy up front, then smoothing out into a frothy, sweet tiki drink on the backend. It was a great balance of flavors that's easy to drink any time of year, but we can imagine sitting on the beach under the shadow of an umbrella, drink in hand. A light breeze through our hair, can you feel it? We will get to the sushi in a moment, but we sampled a few other good dishes that included the Satay Chicken, KA Proud Lamb, and something we've NEVER tried before, Spicy Spaghetti. First, the Satay Chicken was very tender, and the peanut sauce and cucumber salad were a great pairing, especially the salad. It was sweet and went well with the savory of the chicken. A good bite! From there we tried the Spicy Spaghetti, which mimics a traditional spaghetti with a Thai flare. We've never had anything like it! Spicy, savory, and deep from the spice of the Thai chili sauce, tender chicken, and super juicy tomatoes. Maybe more of spaghetti on steroids? Yeah, that sounds about right. Super good! The best of the entrees was the Ka Proud Lamb. The sauce was DELECTIBLE with a slight spice up front and rich deep flavor on the back that went perfect with the mushrooms and vegetables in the sauce. The lamb was tender and smoky with a delicate char. The fried rice was perfect with the sauce and lamb. What a great bite when all combined! Plus, we had a little fun with our food. We put the sauce from the lamb on the Spicy Spaghetti. Pretty tasty, we must say. We tried two different rolls, the Dancing Dragon and the Yummi Yummi. Dancing Dragon was a good balance of sweet and spicy with tempura on the inside and eel and avocado on the outside. The variation between the eel, which was sweet, and the creamy avocado, were a great one-two punch of flavor. Add wasabi and soy sauce, it brings out the flavor of both! Even though this roll was super good, nothing could compare to the Yummi Yummi. A Trio of fresh yellow tail, tuna, salmon stuffed with cream cheese and flash fried in a moat of delicious soy-based sauce. From the creaminess of the cream cheese mixed with the salty and freshness of the fish to the crunch of the fried rice, it was one dynamic bite. What made it even better? Wababi and soy sauce. Mouth dropped to the floor, was that really possible? WOW! Yummi is definitely one way to describe it. Mind blowing is another. A special shout-out to our waitress who was a gracious hand-model, menu master, and willing food carrier to better light. She was top-notch! That's the kind of service you'll get at Ocean Wave. As you leave, the twinkling of the lights follows you down the street and you'll dream about sushi for a few nights after. read more

Came in on a Sunday night. Sat immediately and got order taken quickly. 2 of 3 appetizers came as well as our one drink order and then our server proceeded to ignore and not communicate for the next 30 minutes I then asked for the bill for what I had eaten Server put the 3rd appetizer on our bill and I had to tell her we never even received it The lack of communication over a half hour span is what is causing me to write this review read more

This review is super late! I've been coming here for months! This is easily my favorite thai spot in the city! I love the spicy coconut soup with shrimp ($10) it's sooo flavorful, decadent and they give you a big portion. Probably the best thai coconut soup I've ever had! The chicken pad thai is delicious ($14) and if you leave this place hungry or broke it's all your fault! This place is small so it gets packed fast! They don't take reservations and parking is limited! I bring friends here often, and it's definitely a hidden gem! read more

After a recent re-brand, Ocean Wave by Harry and Sons feels pretty similar to the way it did before. Their sushi is fresh and their menu is pretty large. I like the chicken larb as an appetizer. It's ground chicken, ginger and garlic and some other spices with cabbage to be eaten as a lil wrap situation. The coconut soup is also a great way to start. We ordered the tuna tatami and it was very thick-cut. I When I last visited, they weren't serving any desserts, which is a shame because their cream brûlée is A M A Z I N G. It's still on the menu, so I hope it was just a temporary snag. The staff said they make all the desserts in their own kitchen! read more

We loved the food here. I got Massaman Curry and my friend got Spicy Beef and Noodle. But it's a funny story because we've been searching for a thai place with outdoor seating. I searched yelp and found this one showing old photos of a back, open air, porch. One of the listed amenities, on yelp, was "outdoor seating". We showed up, excited, on a beautiful spring day and asked for..... "outdoor seating". The host gladly escorted us to the back porch, which has been exquisitely renovated/transformed into a very closed-in sunroom-type atmosphere, with nice, high quality windows. It was super nice, but definitely not outdoor seating. read more

Ocean Wave - Fried rice combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

A full sushi menu with a few Thai options. The restaurant is intimate, street parking is available, and the overall service was good. My friend and got a table for two by the window and each ordered the coconut soup, a plate of egg rolls, and the cheese rolls. The egg rolls were very fresh and full of flavor, a better egg roll than most. The cheese rolls were a spin on the crab ragoons, I personally don't care for the roll, I'd prefer a wonton instead but it wasn't bad. The coconut soup was DELICIOUS! I They serve a nice sized portion. My friend got the spicy shrimp roll and I got the spicy flash fried bagel roll. My roll had a smoky flavor which I appreciated. My friend isn't a fan of the smoky flavors but she did say it was a good roll. I didn't taste hers because I didn't want to overcrowd my flavor pallet but she said it was really good. Total we each paid about $28 for an appetizer, a cup of soup, and a sushi roll. I definitely recommend for a date night or small group lunch or dinner. read more

I hate to write this review but they lost a very loyal customer yesterday. We came here around 7:30 after seeing a play at Horizon and didn't get our food until after 9!!! Tables around us that were seated AFTER our order was taken were chowing down on their food long before our plates arrived. It's not like we ordered anything exceptional - I had combo 1 and my companion had a volcano and a lobster roll. An hour and a half is just not acceptable. We brought it up to to the manager but she didn't really do anything to remedy the situation. Some edamame on the house so we are not gnawing on our chopsticks?? Nada. We also didn't see our waiter after he dropped our drinks at the beginning. He seemed to be avoiding or hiding away from us. Would not go back after this kind of treatment and I used to visit several times a year and recommend it to my friends. Not any more. read more

I returned to Harry & Sons recently. It'd been several years since my last visit. This place hasn't changed. The owners of Harry & Sons also own Surin of Thailand two storefronts down. Both of these Virginia Highland restaurants serve Thai food. Surin has the more extensive Thai menu and classier ambiance. In addition to Thai food, Harry & Sons has a sushi bar and a more casual atmosphere. If you don't care for sushi, I'd go to Surin. I think it's better. Harry & Sons has both authentic Thai and Japanese dishes on its menu as well as Americanized dishes like sweet and sour chicken and sushi rolls with many different ingredients. On the Thai side, they offer soups, salads, noodles, rice dishes, curries, and entrees featuring duck. Most of the Thai entrees are $11-18 each. Sushi mainly consists of various chef-concocted rolls, most around $12 per roll. The nigiri selection is basic and pricey at a flat rate of $3.50 for two pieces. Most sushi bars charge their nigiri by fish type, but not here. There's a sushi roll special Monday through Thursday nights -- buy one sushi roll, get the second half off. Select rolls only, though. I tried a sampling of both Thai and sushi on my last visit. They included: Thai dishes: Thai Noodle (pad Thai) - thin noodles with shrimp, scallions, egg, peanuts, bean sprouts Chicken Panang - red curry paste sauteed with coconut milk, bell peppers, chicken breast, and basil leaves Boneless Basil Duck - marinated duck (half), deboned, fried, and served with Thai chili pepper basil sauce and soy molasses sauce Sushi rolls: Volcano Roll - spicy tuna, cucumber, fresh tuna, avocado, eel sauce with a spicy aioli dipping sauce Yummi Yummi Roll - fresh salmon, tuna, yellowtail, cream cheese, seaweed, flash-fried in a homemade sauce with seaweed salad Tekka Maki - tuna rolls Most of the dishes came with side garnishes of kale and shredded carrots. The pad Thai was saucy and super sweet. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I'm not used to pad Thai being so sweet. At least it wasn't overly sour. The ingredients seemed fresh enough and the portion size was filling. The only thing missing was lime. We had to request lime separately and the lime wedges given to us barely had any juice in them. The Chicken Panang was good and probably the best dish of the night. The panang curry was smooth, rich, and flavorful. I enjoyed eating it with the accompanying white rice. The chicken breast was satisfactorily tender. The Boneless Basil Duck was an interesting dish. It didn't come exactly how we expected. The duck was not deboned thoroughly, so that was a major annoyance. We had to pick out several small bones. I don't have an issue with bones unless they're included in a dish that's described as not having any. The duck meat was dry so the two sauces were a must. We couldn't taste any basil in this dish (I know it's supposed to be in one of the sauces), so that was disappointing. This dish also took a long time to prepare. You may want to stay away from this one. The sushi rolls were good and the fish seemed adequately fresh. I wasn't a huge fan of the Yummi Yummi Roll since it was served soaked, sitting in a plateful of sauce, though I admit I am a traditionalist when it comes to sushi. I like plain and simple nigiri, so I've already got a mild bias against rolls. Simple rolls like Tekka Maki are great, though. Unfortunately, the Tekka Maki here was prepared rather sloppily. The pieces stuck together so when I used my chopsticks to pick up a piece, the seaweed and rice would come unraveling. At an authentic sushi bar, no way would the Tekka Maki come out like this. This was more Ru San's-like (not good). Service was OK. We had to get the attention of our server on more than one occasion because he was off to the side on his phone. We ordered so much food and the plates were so big that all of it could not fit on our table at one time. There's a small TV above the sushi bar playing sports (not HD). Overall, I give Harry & Sons 2.5 stars rounded up to 3, maintaining my original rating of this restaurant. read more

One of my favorite restaurants on the planet is Surin West in Birmingham Alabama. I have vivid memories of eating there many times, but the first time I ate there was with a dear friend who is now deceased. He introduced me to their delicious Spicy Coconut Soup, Crab Angels, and Super Crunch Roll. When I moved to Atlanta, I was so excited to know there was a Surin on North Highland, but was then super disappointed when I realized they didn't serve sushi. Well, imagine my excitement yesterday when I found the restaurant Ocean Wave. Ocean Wave has the same owners of Surin, with the same menu, is practically right next door to Surin; except THEY SERVE SUSHI!! I was even more excited when I realized they serve the Super Crunch Roll!!!! We went there last night for my birthday and I had the Spicy Coconut Soup and a Super Crunch Roll and they were so very delicious and exactly how I remembered them from Birmingham. The service was excellent! We will definitely be going back! read more

This place was packed when we came for dinner on a Tuesday night. Service was on the slow side, but we were not in a hurry. The menu was pretty large and took a while to look through. If you check-in on Yelp, you get an offer for $1 nigiri during happy hour 530p-7p. There's a list of maki rolls that are buy 1 get 1 50% off, which is a pretty good deal. Tiramisu Martini $12 - Tasted like a regular chocolate martini, very strong! Spicy Coconut Shrimp $5.50 - This soup was good. Comes with 3 shrimp, de-tailed and mushrooms. Harry's Special $5.50 - These baked scallop nigiris were not that special. I wouldn't order them again. Kaboom Roll $13 - I didn't really enjoy this roll very much because it didn't have much flavor and the rice was hard from the frying. It was big and served with seaweed salad. Chicken Fried Rice $11 - This fried rice was good, I would rate it 7/10. Parking: Metered street parking was easy to find on a week night. $2/hour, max 4 hours. read more

A comfortably quaint and charming joint with a sprinkle of trendy! If you live near the Poncey Highland area, this is probably the best place to get all your Asian cuisine cravings. The pad kee mao was flavorful but the flat rice noodles was overcooked making it too smushy. 3 stars service is fast and hospitable Sushi rolls are the typical items, overpriced, instead, I highly recommend spending the $$ on sashimi. read more

Have you ever just craved a massive amount of sushi that gets served to you on a boat? No? Just me? Well - you will after this review. Ocean wave offers such phenomenal sushi - its crazy that not many people know about this restaurant. If you get their early enough (around 5-5:30 p.m.) the parking situation is not bad at all - you can park behind the restaurant and walk up to the main diner. It's a quiet restaurant with a full-sized bar and sushi making station (the official name of this escapes me). They have roughly 4-5 decent sized booths that can sit 4 people (up to six if you really squeeze in) and one coveted window booth spot. Now, let's talk food. This is a THAI/SUSHI fusion restaurant that does not disappoint. The sushi is pretty dang good. They offer two different types of sushi boats - one that is $55 and the other that is $65. Before you gasp in horror at the price - let me just say - it is a lot of food. My husband is a black hole - and will literally devour his entire meal and then tell me he is still hungry. But after this sushi boat he was stuffed! We also ordered an appetizer (gyoza in a peanut thai sauce (super good) and the sushi boats came with your choice of miso, egg drop, or hot and sour soup. Please refer to the photos below - and enjoy! read more

My boss and coworkers love this place, but this is my first time checking out the place. We had a group of 8 people and ended up sitting by the window.

The sushi was pretty good but the coconut soup was not as amazing as I expected it to be. But it was still delicious.

Didn't get a chance to try their alcohol selection this time, but I may come back soon read more
