" I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant recently, and I must say, the views and the food left a lasting impression! I ordered sushi and the spicy ramen, both of which were absolutely delicious. The authentic flavors really stand out, making this place a frontrunner for best sushi in La Jolla. The service was decent and very polite, but they seemed a little overwhelmed with the crowd. Nonetheless, it was a delightful dining experience overall, and I’ll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience at Blue Ocean. First, the view is undeniably incredible, overlooking the cove, which really set the mood. However, the service was extremely slow, and we waited a long time before our orders were taken. Even after ordering, we had to chase down our waiter for drinks. The food, particularly the dumplings and poke bowl, was delicious and fresh. I think if they can improve their service, it would elevate the whole experience. I would consider coming back for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Blue Ocean was a lovely experience! We managed to grab a window seat and watch the sunset during dinner, which was spectacular. I ordered the mango tango sushi roll, and it was delightful! Even the character buns were surprisingly tasty. My only complaint would be that service was a bit on the slower side, but the friendly demeanor of the staff made it bearable. All in all, I would definitely come here again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Blue Ocean! The views are incredible and really set the stage for a fantastic meal. The character buns were particularly impressive and quite delicious! I ordered the teriyaki salmon which was perfectly cooked, but I felt like the service could have been a bit quicker. Still, I truly enjoyed my meal and the ambiance — a great place for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to many sushi restaurants but few have offered the views that Blue Ocean does. The ocean backdrop while eating is unforgettable. The food was quite good; I had the bulgogi ramen which was flavorful, though my companion's sushi was a little less impressive. The staff was friendly but could have been more attentive. I am definitely making plans to return - if you’re in La Jolla, this is a place you cannot miss! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has quickly become my favorite in La Jolla! The breathtaking beach view was the cherry on top. I indulged in their ramen and dynamite sushi, both of which were fresh and full of flavor. I can't stress enough how welcoming the staff was, even during a busy dinner rush. Although I had to wait a bit longer than usual, it was definitely worth it for the overall experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" The sight from Blue Ocean is breathtaking! I can't believe how good the sushi was as well. Fresh ingredients made for an amazing flavor experience. I ordered the chicken katsu and my friend had the bulgogi ramen, both being great choices. Service was friendly but could use some speed. Still, I’m glad we chose this place! " (*Curated Review*)
