Reviews for Blue Ocean in Fairfax, VA
Wonderful experience! We came for lunch, had the Gyu-don beef bowl and Gindara Misoyaki Miso Black Cod. The food was delicious... and it reminded me of my childhood eating at home. Our server (young man) was also very respectful and attentive and helped ourexperience be even better. Will be coming back soon! Read more
Sushi & Sashimi Lunch. Delicious. They were speaking Japanese so this place is the real deal. I heard about this place back in... the day when it opened up, and have been meaning to try it. It did not disappoint. I'm so glad that there are still someauthentic Japanese owned and operated restaurants (that are affordable) still around the DMV. Read more
A Japanese friend recommended this spot and it definitely did not disappoint. Japanese owned and operated. I knew this place was... going to be good when I arrived for Saturday around noon and the place was packed. Everything from the appetizers, nigiri andJapanese entrees were on point. My friends and I loved the fatty salmon belly, ikura, uni, chutoro and yellowtail nigiri. Thefish was buttery and at a premium price the uni and salmon belly were so worth it. The fish was so fresh and yummy we had toorder a 2nd round. The tekka tuna don, katsu don hokke shioyaki teishoku and the katsu curry were delicious entrees. The flavorsof the cooked fish and pork were on point. They give you a fair amount of fish and food quantity overall here. We each spentover $50, but definitely felt stuffed and got our value. This is a great place to bring the family to enjoy some qualityJapanese food. The servers were great in knowing the speciality items and freshest cuts. You get a great deal here consideringthe size of the fish and price for some of the cuts like chutoro. Read more
I truly enjoy coming to this quaint little place to eat. I've been coming to frequent this restaurant since college days. I've... always loved the food and service has always been friendly. My latest adventure that I've tried here is their Kaiseki meal andI'm in love with it! Will go back to try the other set meals again! Read more
Stars are due to service, Not very friendly when we arrived, pretty rude actually and service one refill before we were... leaving. If they are rude when you arrive just turn around. Food wasn't terrible. Sushi grade was not the best for price. Did enjoy looking over the menu and ordering multi dishes. Must try Anko Karaage, and grilled Saba. Kids liked it so it willbe a debate to go again. Read more
Although they seem to not be open when I?m in the area, when the stars align my goodness it?s magical! The communication is also... something to keep in mind- I came in and said I wanted sushi and they thought that meant a specific dish which as you can see inthe photo is delicious! Well, maybe you cannot see the deliciousness but trust me, it was fresh and delectable. Also, the hottea was free! Small thing but still. Read more
This place is great. It?s small and has an authentic feel. The staff is very nice and attentive. I didn?t think the sushi was... particularly outstanding, but it wasn?t bad by any means. The tonkatsu ramen had the most delicious broth I have ever tasted.The chashu pork and egg were both somewhat plain, but even so, I would say that it was some of the best ramen I have ever had.Would definitely recommend this place for a nice, cozy meal.
