My friends and I came to this restaurant as a first dinner of the new year, and I was not disappointed. The interior is very clean and has a high-scale fancy ambiance, I thought the design was well done. I expected the food to be very expensive but it wasn't as pricey as I thought, maybe slightly more than average sushi. The sushi itself was fresh and well made, the rice and condiments inside the sushi mixed well to give each roll an explosive flavor profile. The service was good as well. I'd recommend Harumama to anyone who wants sushi near the ocean!

This place does not take reservations but luckily there was plenty of space when we came for lunch on a Monday at noon. It is difficult to find parking, but sometimes you can get lucky finding a spot at the front, or you'll have to find street parking, sometimes at least a block or two away. The view by the far side of the restaurant is very nice as it captures the beach and ocean, sometimes even with the sea lions on the rocks. I had the rainbow spider roll and a chicken karaage for the appetizer. Both were decent. The mix of fish in the roll was fresh and there was a good amount, though it is on the pricier side for the amount given. I wish the chicken karaage batter was thinner, and I wish there was more ginger flavor, but the amount of chicken was pretty good and tasted great with the garlic aioli sauce.

Came here for my friend's birthday dinner and it was my first time coming here and it was absolutely delicious! I was so excited to try their food so I got different options and it was plenty to share. Their food portions are big so definitely shareable. The animal buns were so cute! The restaurant was really big. They had plenty of tables and seating. If you sit next to the window you can watch the ocean. The service was excellent and our server was absolutely nice and helpful. He constantly checked on us to make sure that we had everything we needed. Everything that I got was amazing and I honestly can't wait to go back and try more items off their menu!

The worker that took my order over the phone was very nice and even told me how long it would take and when I arrived at the restaurant she helped me with the payment and even made sure the items I requested (soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi) were all included in the packaging of my takeout order. It was the first time my wife and I tried Omakase and Blue Ocean did not disappoint. The sushi quality was fresh with the exception of the one item below the seaweed (it was too chewy). Everything else in the box was really good quality. For $55, I thought the serving size was generous. We would definitely come back!

Came by a few weeks ago and loved it! The service was pretty good, with the waitress making sure if the meal was good and checking up on us. The interior was amazing! It has nice seatings and decorations with mainstream music playing in the background. The food was really good and affordable! I would definitely recommend coming here if you want a nice and casual dinner with affordable pricing!

I was pleasantly surprised by Blue Ocean - Harumama. For a restaurant in a prime location (gorgeous views overlooking the water), it's reasonably priced and the food is fresh, comes out super quick and was delicious. We ordered everything from the character buns to sushi and noodles. The best things were probably the sushi - fish is fresh and artfully prepared. My favorite was the Hawaiian roll: the blue crab inside was generously portioned! The weakest dish we ordered were the drunken noodles - I'd skip next time. But we loved the poke bowl and I was surprised at how good the character buns were! I was expecting them to be sort of a gimmick to get people in, but the flavor of them (we tried the Cow and Bunny buns) was great! I can see why people complain about the service. Our server was very polite as were the folks who brought our food but the same individuals seemed to never remember when we would say they could just put it on the table anywhere there was space because we were sharing. And at one point we needed a fork but there was not a single server in the dining room so my husband just got up and got one himself. That plus it being nearly impossible to find parking near by without paying $15-45 for valet and I probably won't be hurrying back.
