Told me to stand outside because I was BLACK. I don’t know if it was because I was BLACK or GAY but I had to wait for my food outside instead of in. Guy behind bar was very rude. My money was good just not me. Wouldn’t refer to if you are black or gay. You may be treated unfair.

I called to place an order that I have placed many times before with a substitution but was yelled at and hounded by the bartender who continued to say that “I’m the problem”. He was incredibly rude and continued to yell at me on the phone the entire time. When I requested to speak to the manager he said “he’s not here and I’ve been here 30 years I don’t care if they fire me”. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had. I had to hang up the phone because he continued to yell and called back to request the manager.

This is one of go-to restaurants in the neighborhood. The food as well as sushi is good and the servers are friendly. We prefer sitting at the bar with Francis and/or Mien(sp?) who are very welcoming and make great drinks.

This has quickly become a go-to spot for sushi in my neighborhood. The menu is extensive so there’s always an opportunity to try something new and so far, everything I’ve ordered has been delicious. My only complaint is that I haven’t loved very many of the cocktails that I’ve ordered. They’re always incredibly strong (which is not always a complaint to everyone) but not to my taste personally. Otherwise, this is a restaurant that I recommend often and fervently.

Went in for lunch. It wasn't busy and we were able to order pretty quickly. I had the wonton soup and surin baskets for appetizers. Those are my favorites. The dancing dragon and volcano roll are tasty as well. I hate that you have to pay for parking but I guess it's ok.

Nice but relaxed atmosphere, great food! We had the negihama maki and fried rice - soooo delicious! Some of the best yellowtail I've had, very fresh and filled with flavor! Friendly and fast service, a great time and we will definitely be back!

Came here for my company holiday party and thoroughly enjoyed the food and service! We all tried a bunch of the appetizers like:Surin Basket- Loved this one, probably my favorite of the nightChicken Larb- very good just really spicy!Cheese rolls- not my favorite but if you like a lot of cheese or cream cheese you will love thisBasil Rolls- I usually love basil rolls but I didn't enjoy the pork inside them, it was a tad dry but the sauce for them was goodSatay- pretty tasty but a tad dry as wellFried calamari- Was very good and was hot and fresh when we got it!Now for my entree I played it safe and had the garlic lover's broccoli with chicken and enjoyed it immensely! I also had a spicy tuna roll and it was so good but was spicier than I expected lol would recommend if you love spicy food!Overall, I would return and try more of the dishes as well as the sushi options as the menu was very large. The servers we had were very fast and super nice and they got us out of there in a timely manner.

Got invited by a couple of friends! Great atmosphere, everything we all ordered was very delicious. Showed up later than others, service was still very nice and accommodating.

This place is horrible. The food is disgusting and the customer service is trash. The manager literally argued with me over a kitchen mistake. Instead of correcting the issue they wanted to argue. I canceled the remained of my food, which was one $100 and left. I will never go here again, and if you are black I suggest you do the same. Definitely saw the manager help the white couple next to us with NO problem. Never again.

I was introduced to Ocean Wave by a buddy and I have loved it ever since. The food is outstanding as is the atmosphere. I usually sit at the bar and have my food there. I haven’t had a dish I didn’t enjoy. Francis the bartender knows his stuff and is always super cool and seems to love his job. I recommend Ocean Wave 100! I will definitely be going back.

Ocean Wave is no Harry's and Sons!! I have a 15+ year history with Surin's and Harry's and sons/OW... I basically lived at both of those spots. But what they are today, can't touch where they came from years ago. This used to be a premier spot for sushi, but not now. In addition to the very subpar Thai, and the not great sushi, was my wife watching a chef prepare sushi bare handed while the other two chefs wore gloves. This guy repeatedly grabbed salmon with his bare hands. No wonder there is a nice 87/B health score on the wall. I hate to give one my former favorites such a bad review, but I hope they read this and DO BETTER! My 3 star is being generous.

My new favorite sushi spot! Absolutely loved this place. The service and food were both fantastic. Our server was entertaining and personable, same with the rest of the staff. Although the restaurant is on the smaller side, it was very cozy and clean inside. The menu had so much to choose from and I was very happy with their roll options. We also got chicken satay as an appetizer and it was delicious.

Ocean wave is not the wave. My sushi was so bad it makes me want to watch Oppenheimer again. If y’all want good sushi go to nakato, O-Ku, or any Mexican food place because surely even they have better spicy tuna. They got better sushi at Hartsfield-Jackson airport right now. Book a delta flight now, go to Publix, and go with god if you ever try to eat at this place.
