Blue Ocean Japanese Resturant

Blue Ocean Japanese Restaurant 9440 Main St, Fairfax, VA 22031-4032

Went there 1st time last night. Small, smelled fishy. Food was fine. Kind of a dump inside. Not cheap - $35 per person without booze of any kind.

So, high-priced so-so food and no alcohol. Sounds just great. Can't wait to drive by.

Actually good sushi places do not smell like fish. They usually smell clean. Same with fish markets - good ones smell like the ocean but not like fish.

Been to one of (if not the) largest fish markets on earth. It smelled vaguely briney, with a hint of bleach from the floors.

I wonder if the OP could discern between 'smells like the ocean' and 'smells like fish'. I would bet against.

"The Sushi Snob feeds off of their own self-importance. They need to be the only person in the know. And they won’t be outdone.

First, they’ll ask if you’ve heard of “their” sushi restaurant. Then, they’ll roll their eyes and say “oh, of course you haven’t”. This is key. They will always try to make you feel ignorant and useless. Forget the fact that “their place” is an out-of-the way, hole-in-the-wall spot that no one has ever been to. You’re an uncultured dick for not knowing about it.

Eating with the Sushi Snob is one of the most unpleasant experiences known to man. If they’re not smugly pushing around their sushi with chopsticks, they’re talking about how there’s “too many white people at this place”. It’s very important to them to not eat sushi around Caucasians. It cheapens the experience."

Makoto in Georgetown used to be just fantastic, but I haven't been there for a while.

I don't know how you can eat sushi without beer or wine. I love sushi, but at Blue Ocean what are you supposed to drink? Tea? coke? No effin way

I'm pretty sure the OP meant his meal price didn't include alcohol, they do serve alcohol there.

What you have pictured looks to be $35-$40 worth, I really hope one person didn't eat all of that...

Since people are mentioning other places; East Gate Asian Bistro has really good sushi.

I have never had sushi served on a round plate.

Tsukiji. Just checked wikipedia, it is the largest on earth. I wandered around for hours and never got to the end of it.

Good Zumba studios smell like raw fish.

Its easy - go to the ocean and use your nose then go to Lotte on Braddock and take in that stench. Not rocket science.

Easy for some, true, but likely not for the OP.

Q: What did the blind man say when he walked into the fish market?

A: "Hello ladies!"
