Blue Ocean Robata & Sushi Bar

Blue Ocean is my new favorite sushi spot in North County! We went for a happy hour on my birthday and were blown away by the quality and quantity of each of their dishes. The tomago nigiri was A+ perfectly seasoned and the wakame is soooo tasty. The rest of the nigiri was perfect and as expected for top notch fish. The rice was also perfectly seasoned. The crispy shrimp was plump and perfectly covered in a sweet and savory sauce. We tried two skewers - the pork with pineapple and the steak. Both were superb. I think I liked the pork one a little better because the pineapple was a perfect foil for the juicy pork. The birthday chocolate cake with a savory caramel and crispy amaranth was sublime. Not too sweet with lots of complexity. This isn’t our first time nor will it be the last time. If you want truly exceptional sushi and skewers. This is the place to go. Don’t sleep on the soup as well - it’s rich, dotted with tiny mushrooms, and very satisfying. There is plenty of parking in the lot or nearby. They also have drink specials weekly - I highly recommend the whiskey Wednesday!

Hands down the BEST, freshest, most flavorful food I’ve had in a very long time. Additionally, the environment is extremely pleasant and lively, but also not too loud. We ordered the Kaboconut Soup, filet + pineapple robata, Amberjack Carpaccio, and Marine Boy roll. As well as the Pina Verde (WOW) and the cucumber Saketini. We will 1000% be back every time we’re in town because I would love to try more items on their delicious and diverse menu! Lastly, thank you Meimei for being an awesome server!

An Absolute Gem in Carlsbad Village! Blue Ocean is hands down one of the best sushi spots in Carlsbad! Every visit is a treat, with incredibly fresh seafood and an impressive variety of rolls to choose from. Whether you're a sushi purist or love creative rolls, there's something for everyone. The ambiance is welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. I highly recommend the specialty rolls—they're bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. If you're a sushi lover (or even if you're not yet!), Blue Ocean is a must-visit! 🍣✨

The best sushi in town! Extremely fresh fish and consistent taste and quality. My husband and I drive 45 min for this place and their service is great too as well. Highly recommend

Really good sushi! The rice was so fresh and the salmon skin roll was huge. Great service with Stacy.
