We went to Tokyo last winter and this shop reminded us of many mornings we spent at Tsukiji Fish Market. The shop is very casual which contribute to homie feeling and affordable price. The shopkeepers are so friendly and make sure we got what we needed! Since...Read More

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...Read More

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...Read More

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....Read More

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...Read More

A quiet restaurant in Monterey! I walked past while I was going to another store and decided to pop by again for a solo dinner. Plenty of seating, great service and I enjoyed some zaru soba and inari but they have great sushi options!

Got the Saturday special. Fish was fresh. Soup and salad was nice. Staff very nice and friendly. Pleasant experience...except my wife got mad at me and wouldn't talk or help me eat the food. You're asking why that would change the experience? Oh, you are...Read More

Delicious food at a fair price, warm service and fantastic options for everyone. My partner and I ordered different donburi bowls and could clearly taste that they were freshly prepared. I was able to also get some extra hot sauce and Japanese pepper which really...Read More

Authentic Japanese restaurant in Monterey. Missed Japan so much so this restaurant feels home made. They have a wide variety of options to choose from. If you dine in, they offer complimentary lemon water and hot teas.

Love our little family-owned, sushi/teriyaki spot. Staff is incredibly friendly and the food is delicious. I don't eat sushi, but my kiddo tells me it's yummy. I love the donburri bowls, especially the beef bowl, made with rib-eye. Don't miss this quaint little restaurant.

Go for the excellent Japanese food prepared by knowledgeable chefs. Service was friendly and prompt. I eat here whenever I’m in town. If you like Japanese food you will like Ocean Sushi Deli. Good value for the $$.

Don't think of this as an American or Italian deli with sushi. It's a Japanese deli with sushi plus so much more. Sure, you can stop by to eat, but if you have a large party (6 or more), do take out for a picnic....Read More

Good, fresh food here. The menu is reasonably priced. I got the unagi donburi (grilled bbq eel over white rice). It was really good. If you’re a fan of eel, go for this if it’s available. We also had a yakisoba, which was tasty as well....Read More
