I love this place... simply the best!
Fish is fresh and staff are so kind and know good sushi! Lucky to have this place in the area.
Ocean sushi is the best!
Consistency with quality, options, and smiles.
Good all around. Sushi rice holds up. Raw or hot, it's excellent here. Everyone is so nice here too. Counter service with table delivery.
This is a great spot for fresh sushi I really enjoyed how nice the staff was and the comfortable atmosphere.
Best in town, best people, best fish, best rice by far
Literally moments ago I walked out of Ocean Sushi Deli. Not because it was bad, BUT Because I was stuffed so full I couldn't eat anymore super fresh Miso soup, ,Unagi, Maguro, Hamachi, Spider Roll . !!! Small friendly easy to walk to in Monterey. The service is great. If you're in a rush , forget it. they take a few.minutes because everything is prepared fresh for your order.. Dont expect hi class uppity dining. OSD is low key casual with a few tables inside and out, and a small counter. Just right !!!!

Excellent sushi and the staff are very courteous!
I am a Japanese food snob, and I love Ocean Sushi for quick, satisfying, craving quencher go-to. The service is efficient, and the people are welcoming - Can't live without them.
My ultimate Favorite Japanese restaurant! :)
Love this place, and now u do to.
Love the food and the people who own it!
Sadly, I can't go more due to the fact that I don't live near by. I spent 3 years in Japan. This is some of the very BEST Japanese food I have had since leaving Japan. Know the difference -Go to Ocean Sushi Deli. それはおいしいです !!!
Beautiful and fresh sushi!
Stopped in for a takeout dinner and had the Sushi Bento. Freshly made and great tasting. So many options on what to get that it was hard to choose. We took it next door to our favorite tap house and enjoyed it on the patio.
What a find. So glad we made the effort after the aquarium (amazing) to make the short drive up to here.
It’s nothing to look at inside, just a few wonky tables and chairs. But the huge menu, the freshness of the fish and the charm of the staff will win you over.
If I worked in downtown Monterey, I’d be here every week.
We are in Monterey for the week and were looking for no-frills sushi since we are traveling with an infant. Ocean Sushi Deli popped up on our search and we are so glad it did. The staff was so friendly and the food was good! The prices were reasonable as well. We are already thinking about going back again before the end of the week.
What a find! Perfect for our family that prefers to eat outside at local parks. They only serve take out. The menu is extensive and we probably got carried away ordering but everything we got was so good. There were many items on the menu you wouldn’t normally see at a Japanese restaurant. The ingredients were fresh. The portion sizes were generous and the flavors were spot on. Take the time to also look at the snacks/desserts they have in the store. I wish we had made to order bentos closer to home. We even got treated to a rainbow at nearby Window on the Bay Park.
Excellent cafe that's been around long enough that I've been going there for more than fifteen years. Feels like very little has changed in that time.
Good food, good service, free tea. Feels a lot more like a place you'd actually find in Japan than many more upscale places do.
It's a staple and icon of downtown Monterey.
AMAZING, we went twice during a 2 day stay in Monterey. Unfussy, delicious, and wide menu with great prices. We loved the sushi roll, traditional shrimp tempura donburi, and the chicken katsu curry. Would eat here all the time if I lived here
This place has it all, from ramen to udon noodles, teriyaki dishes and sushi, of course. The staff were super friendly and attentive to my kid (hooking them up with extra dishes and chopstick aids, made for a cool experience). The food was delicious and reasonably priced for the generous portion. Highly recommend!
If you want a nice little picnic I also recommend taking your meal about a block and a half down to the park at Colton Hall.
A little piece of Japan in Monterey Bay. This shop has a ton of authentic Japanese products and food. They have great flavor and vegan and gluten free options. The service was really good and everyone was really nice and patient in explaining the menu. I would definently come here again.
Super friendly service, amazing menu. You can find everything from Kewpie, Ramune, Pocky and Dynasty Sriracha in addition to the best sushi and bento plates on the peninsula. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Overall 5/5. Nice, authentic Japanese restaurant. Vast variety of available options in the menu, I tried ramen (Nr 63) and it was delicious. highly recommended!
Had a big catering order with Ocean Sushi and they were great to work with. Got the exact perfect amount of food, and the quality was great. Highly recommend
This is a quaint little sushi restaurant that I will run into during the work day to grab a couple of pre-made dishes. I usually grab the Onigiri, some Japanese pickles and seaweed salad. There are often groups of people who come for lunch and spend time socializing through afternoon. The food has always been decent quality and I've never been disappointed. Great for a quick meal!
Everything about this place is amazing. The Pork Cutlet was better than I could ever dream. The Miso soup was the best I’ve had in a long time. This place is truly a gem and it’s waiting staff is so sweet and caring! Will definitely make this a frequent stop for me~
A review says this Japanese Restaurant beats most of the others in the Bay Area, and I feel the same. Had a bento combo of sashimi, fried shrimp and toriyaki, and it was great. Loved their salad and rice. Staffs are very friendly and attentive. Complimentary water, cold tea and hot tea are available by self service.
Very good sushi, slowest service ever, and the girl that takes your order doesn't follow through with the entire order. She leaves it to the young man to figure it out.
If you order drinks, ask for them before you sit because you won't get them unless you ask several times.
After waiting for 30 minutes, I noticed a little area where you can serve yourself tea or water while you wait. It would have been nice if the hostess/cashier mentioned it.
I have been coming here for almost 10 years now! I usually get sushi/bentos but decided to try the chicken curry this time. The staff are super nice and I really appreciate the self serve hot tea!
Very reasonable price for quality food! The staff was very kind and attentive. Thank you for having us!
This place is a gem. They have every Japanese staple you could think of, and it's all pretty delicious. The menu is extensive and I don't think I will ever be able to try everything. The unagi donburi is a super win, though.
