"Harumama’s picture-worthy character buns and Blue Ocean’s sashimi make this joint venture a delectable combination. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer diners a 180-degree view of La Jolla’s sprawling shoreline. Start off with some nigiri and light appetizers — consider the Japanese oysters or karaage chicken — before moving on to the mains such as sushi rolls, noodles, hot dishes, poke bowls, and salads. Don’t leave without trying a steamy character bao bun with animal designs (cow, pig, chicken, bunny, and unicorn). Take the fun home with a to-go bun box with either savory or sweet buns, or both." - Roxana Becerril
