Blue Ocean / Harumama

AsianOwner Verified

About

Asian fusion restaurant and sushi bar at 1250 Prospect St in La Jolla's Village, 92037, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking La Jolla Cove. Blue Ocean / Harumama operates as two concepts under one roof: Blue Ocean covers fresh sushi, sashimi, specialty rolls, and robata-grilled preparations, while Harumama handles tonkotsu and vegan coconut ramen, bao buns, and the Instagram-famous handcrafted character steamed buns — pandas, pigs, polar bears, and chickens filled with spicy chicken or pork. Happy hour runs Monday through Thursday 3 to 5:30pm, and weekday lunch specials pair a bowl of ramen with a character bun. No reservations taken; the waitlist closes early when capacity fills.
