    This is probably our eight or ninth time at Ocean 48. We’ve also eaten at Ocean 48 in Beverly Hills. overall I would give it a five star rating the food the service the ambience. The noise level is so great you can sit and have a conversation and have to scream, you can hear each other talk  which is a nice treat for a normal restaurant.

    First time here and we are locals. We had the ahi tuna burger and regular burger, both were great quality and taste. Ambiance wasn’t distracting, just felt very calm. Would like to go back for a dinner environment and plates.

    Excellent! Excellent!! Excellent! I mean the views!! Does it get any better?? On the food side, you always know what you are getting at Nobu but our experience at this location was beyond excellent because of our server! Arisa was AMAZING! She knew her stuff from cocktails to food to specials of the day to desserts! She was attentive and polite and professional! She is the perfect server! (and this comes from a previous server and trainee for high end restaurants) I loved her! On the food side we ordered a lot of items as there were 6 of us, edamame, rock shrimp, tuna nigiri, salmon nigiri, yellowtail hamachi, spicy tuna crispy rice, soft shell crab roll, tuna roll, the special they had of Amberjack with shaved truffles! ( so good!!) and black cod miso of course!! For dessert we had the yummiest Xurros and a whiskey cream something or other… everything was outstanding! I cannot wait to go back!
