Blue Ocean Sushi - La Jolla

I used to love coming here. Their food is good but the portion sizes have gotten smaller. The picture on the left was from two years ago (06/17/2021) and the picture on the right was today. (07/31/2023) The service has always been slow and still is very slow. The menu used to be a lot bigger too but that has downsized as well.

Delicious food and an amazing experience!! Great view of the ocean!Vegetarian options: Many options for vegetarian meals.Dietary restrictions: Many options for dietary restrictions, gluten free noodles available.

Great location. Very friendly staff, good food, and amazing veiw. The price seemed a little high for the portion sizes, but it was appropriate given the location and view.Parking: I went on a holiday weekend for a late lunch. Parking was very difficult near the restaurant for free street parking and the pay lots were $35/day. I parked about 5-6 blocks away in free 2 hour street parking, but had to circle for about 20-30 minutes until I found a space.Kid-friendliness: My kids enjoyed the food and location.

Food was great super busy so go early for a seaside seat.

This place is hidden jem; service is excellent, ramen delicious and authentic, and prices are affordable. The wait might be long but worth it.
