“I've been wanted to try this restaurant for quite a while and tonight we tried Fuji Ramen Bay Colony. It did not disappoint.E V E R Y T H I N G we ordered was amazing. Ivan, our server did a great job. He took my fish allergy seriously and did not scoff when I ordered sushi. I was able to enjoy the non fish sushi as well as the chicken karaage ramen. And to top it off, the check was only $105 for 3 adults including 4 appetizers, 3 entrees, and 3 alcoholic beverages. We will be back!“

“This review is long overdue as we have been thoroughly enjoying Sushi Bori for over a year now. It's simply the best! Our sushi loving son says it deserves more than 5 stars. The owner is so kind, personable, and always has great recommendations that never disappoint. The food is always so fresh and of the highest quality. It beats all local sushi restaurants! Our favorite go-to rolls include: Crunchy Philly, Bori Hot Tuna, Peppered Tuna, and Ruben Roll. Everything that we have tried is full of flavor and so delicious. We highly recommend that you taste it for yourself!“

“I love sushi, and to have this place open so close to home has been great. The food is top notch and just as good as any other place I’ve been to around the city.Huge selection but I usually stick to the sushi or sashimi and some takoyaki to round it out.Only thing I would avoid is the booth at the very from of the restaurant because depending on the time of day, the sun is gonna blast you in the eyes.“

“The whole family had a blast. Great selection of broths, sauces and fixings“

“Crab salad appetizer is delicious with the little shavings of apple. We have tried several sushi rolls and they are always fresh and tasty. The restaurant is in a shopping strip on the corner. We had great service. The green tea fried ice cream is definitely worth a try.“

“Very good Ramen , waitress was great. Small but very nice restaurant, Dumplings were excellent as well!“

“First time here. I will definitely be back, a little out of my way but beats Akimi on Nasa.Ginger dressing is awesome, vegetable tempura is awesome. Perfectly cooked and a wonderful variety of vegetables.Had Dragon which came with shrimp stirfry and a portion of General Tsao's chicken. So many vegetables in the shrimp stirfry and great flavor.Needless to say, I took home leftoversService was great too and nice atmosphere!“

“Everything was amazing! Very little wait on a Friday night even. The restaurant was very busy, but the staff was efficient, courteous, and helpful. Props to the back of the house and the sushi chefs for sending out our orders swiftly and perfectly!“

“Amazing service from Teri, the place was packed, and it was just her. Not to mention, the fish is very high quality. Comparing for 2 people to go out to eat my dad and I payed $85 before tip here at Ocean, vs other restraunts where I will spend the same or more for lower quality!“

“Parker is wonderful and made ordering party platters for our reception so easy and a great experience. I wish I had gotten a chance to get pictures of them, but they were beautifully arranged with care and precision. The sushi and sashimi were fantastic and our guests loved them! Thank you for all of your hard work and for making our day even better.“

“It was a Friday evening but it was too loud. The dishes look very good and there is plenty of food. The hot & sour soup was thicker than I'm used too. Too many mushrooms for me. My main dish was shredded pork with green beans but I found it too salty. The others had no complaints and enjoyed their choices. The server was very nice & attentive, not in our faces, just right. I will try again,and order something different.“

“This place is so neat! We recently went with a group of friends and as soon as you walk in you're in awe with the fresh sushi being made and the bagoda style booths. Our server was super sweet and answered all the questions we had about the different types of sushi and appetizers. The appetizers, sushi, salads and soups, and hibachi are all included in the all you can eat price as well as soft drinks and dessert. I'm not a huge sushi fan but there were lots of veggie options and cooked sushi as well. Not too expensive either when you consider how much sushi normally costs.“

“Super cozy Sushi restaurant with delicious food and great staff! The wait staff were super kind and the service was fast, the presentation was incredible (see the flaming sushi below ??), and everything was tasty! The manager Coco even brought us out free Mochi at the end! Amazing experience and we'll definitely be coming back!“

“I really love the appetizers here. They have a variety of options for sushi, bento box and other Japanese dishes. I ordered the green vegetables with garlic and vegetable dumplings with a spider roll which were all amazing. I found the spider roll to be overly battered but it was still very good in taste. This is a mom and pop type place with plenty of seating, a sushi bar area and friendly service.“

“"Sushi is a cultural ambassador that bridges the East and the West." - UnknownIt was my initial visit to the establishment. We were provided seating at a sizeable table for our corporate meet-and-greet luncheon for the newly hired employees. Due to capacity constraints, space was limited, resulting in restricted elbow room.Now, disregarding the aforementioned inconvenience, the Mango Tango sushi roll emerged as the exceptional highlight of the experience. It was nothing short of remarkable, an exquisite culinary delight that surpassed any previous sushi experience I have had the privilege of enjoying. The egg drop soup complemented the meal perfectly, delivering an exceptional gustatory experience. Our server demonstrated attentiveness, politeness, and exceptional courtesy throughout the service.In conclusion, I hold this establishment in high regard. The sushi is truly exceptional, characterized by robust flavors and offered at a reasonable price point. The ambiance can be described as semi-casual and cozy, although it may not be the most suitable venue for large gatherings. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment and bestow upon it my highest commendation.“

“Delicious food, great service.“

“Small, quiet restaurant with nice food. I ordered a Crab Puff appetizer and really appreciated the perfect ratio of cream cheese to puff. My main entrée was a Shark Attack roll and it was quite flavorful. Overall the restaurant is cute, food tastes good, and they win brownie points for being the only sushi shop open on a Tuesday evening in DP.“

“I love this place. The food is always amazing. Today we stopped in for lunch. I had a tempura handroll - excellent! The Masa Tower, my go to. An order of spring rolls, side of kimche and fried rice came home as I was full from the tower. It is all so good and fresh. Service is great as well, attentive without hovering. Nice decor, clean and varied seating for solo diners and groups.“

“I apologize to the chefs for the other incredibly rude patrons glued to their phones during the presentation. Does anyone actually talk anymore? A whole family and each one engrossed with their electronic device not even speaking?Any complaints about chefs "not into it" should be considered in the context of the patrons. If everyone is glued to their phones why bother?“

“Great food and atmosphere!“
