Ocean Sushi & Ramen

"This is my first time coming here, I would say it's now my go-to ramen and sushi place. It feels like they take pride in the food they serve. The quality, the service the ambiance ties together to make it a memorable experience."

"Everything was outstanding. We sat at the bar top and had some amazing sushi and ramen. The lobster ramen is not worth the price. But everything else was. Come here for some great food and drinks. It's truly close to being the best sushi restaurant in the area / out side of downtown."

"update 12/19/23: came back a year later to try their sushi and was a bit disappointed. the prices also went up a bit since I last came. I got their sushi and sashimi lunch, and the fish tasted old, not fresh at all, sort of like a sour-ish taste lingering - didn't end up finishing this. their specialty rolls were alright, but a bit pricey. for friendswood it's okay, but I don't think I'd rec eating here for sushi if you can make the drive to Houston. review for some ramen below - prices incr by ~$1 since last. Jan 2023: came back for the holiday season and was surprised to find this new restaurant ! for a small town like friendswood, I'd say this place is a gem - perfect spot for dates, family dinners, or group gatherings (they have a semi-private tatami room w/ floor cushion seating). leaving an open star for when I try their sushi, but their ramen was pretty decent, maybe not my #1 favorite, but I'd return for more. we tried the shio tonkotsu ($15), sapporo miso ($15), and hakata red ($16) - was a little disappointed that the Sapporo wasn't spicy though, despite having a pepper symbol next to it (would highly suggest the hakata though). also tried their lycheetini (lychee martini $12) which tasted like a lychee soju (personally not for me, but I'll give their mules a shot next time). we were seated almost immediately for a table of 3, and our server, kaitlyn, was very kind throughout our dinner. overall impressed - fairly priced items imo for the freshness and authenticity in their creations - I would say it's the better ramen around town and excited to try their sushi !"

"Ocean sushi and Ocean sushi and ramen have the best fresh sushi in the area hands down. Ive been eating sushi for over 20 years in many states and restaurants within those states and Ocean is top tier. Almost like the original location but you can also order ramen. Staff is friendly and attentive. Food is always quality. Other guests can be a bit obnoxious, every time I've been other guests have been loud and disruptive but that isn't the restaurant's fault. Fantastic sushi, best you'll get in the area. It's a bit bigger on the inside than their first location but still absolutely packed with tables, the only thing I wish was different would be to have a little more space."

"Bar area was nice, spacious, and decorated with a wide variety of sake and liquor. This was our first time here, and we were unimpressed with the attentiveness and knowledge of the menu by our server. The hot sake was good. The mixed drink was obviously made by a novice tender. Two of the three rolls we ordered were fresh and solidly made. The third, the Kyle special roll, the fish on top (Blue Fin Tuna) was still so cold, it was almost icey and not enjoyable. The presentation of the food is very well done. This is possibly the single best trait of this restaurant. We will come back again and try other rolls and hopefully get a better server."
