Blue Ocean Seafood & Steak

What is overwhelming about Blue Ocean is the large selection of seafood creations to choose from. For my first dining experience for dinner, I ordered their premium plate of Prime rib and lobster. Service was friendly and prompt. The plating of the food was nice and both the steak and lobster were grilled perfectly. My only gripe was that the order came with one slice of butter for the lobster. The sides of salad and dinner roll were ample compliments to this fulfilling meal. The following day, for lunch I had to try their Soft shell crab and shrimp kabob. Fried crab and grilled shrimp cooked perfect. Both times, my hunger was conquered! Dining at Blue Ocean was relaxing. The picnic tables with the umbrella will keep you cool. Overall, I highly recommended this place, offering many delights and priced reasonably compared to the other food truck vendors in Waikiki.

The service was fast and wasn’t crowded. The atmosphere was great with music playing. The staff were great and good professionals. The food we ordered was good and tasty. Unfortunately, when dining here you have to be aware of birds because they are all over the place.

This has become our go-to destination as soon as we touch down. We've been frequenting this place for several years now. Typically, we stroll from our hotel to this spot. However, in recent years, the surrounding establishments have declined, making the immediate area feel a bit sketchy. Nevertheless, the food here is absolutely delicious! Be sure to come hungry and with a bit of patience, as everything is made fresh. It can take some time to receive your order, especially during busy hours. As with most places in Hawaii, it is somewhat pricey. For example, we ordered two adult meals, one child meal, and drinks, and our total exceeded $60. My only minor complaint is that the tables could use a good cleaning—they tend to be sticky and not very pleasant.

Wanted local food, found Blue Ocean for lunch. The Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs were Ono! Thank you for a great lunch!🤙

This was advertised as a Seafood Restaurant. When in fact it is a built in type Food Truck. We went on line and made reservations when in fact they don’t even take reservations. There is an out side sitting area in what appears to be an alley well lit with lights running through the umbrellas and along the side dividing wall. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals. The tables are picnic tables and you get in where you fit in. There were multiple menu options to choose from.

First time in Hawaii and this was the very first food place I tried and it did extremely well. Wide variety and the portion sizes were amazing. Not to mention the seasoning and flavor of the food as well. If I lived in Hawaii I would try everything on the menu they would know my face forget cooking.

Went there for a late dinner recently with my friends and family. The food is REALLY good, and what's great is the variety....you can pretty much get anything you want....seafood, beef, pork, chicken, burgers, pizza, ya, pretty much anything. I had the kalbi and garlic shrimp plate and it was very good...the kalbi was grilled very nicely and still tender enough that I could just bite the meat off. And their shrimp is good too. For the price, you get more than you expect. I would come here again and again

I looks this place up on line before coming to Hawaii! It did not disappointment OMG the lobster was soooooooo good! And also enjoyed the coconut shrimp.Tbe teriyaki beef not so much. The price was great! The service was incredible. Thank you for the delish lobster and coconut shrimp'

Wanted breakfast but they didn't open until 8am. They have a very busy defensive menu and prices are expected . They have a QR code to order your food and seating outside for you to wait and enjoy your meal. I came back later in the day for a loco moco )they have several types) and it came out quickly. The guy was nice and offered me a bag since I took it to go. The food was plentiful and hearty. I'll definitely go back since they offer breakfast all day.

I was hella excited to try this place. Easily accessible on foot from my hotel, the promise of freshly shucked oysters not too far from the beach lured me like a cartoon character following a pie scent. But oh, the disappointment I experienced. Despite being freshly pulled from a fridge and shucked right there, what came to me directly was a half-dozen oysters almost ambient temperature; the first one I brought to my lips only made it just after them. I couldn't swallow. My brain simply wouldn't allow it. A fingertip test of the other five yielded the same conclusion. They simply weren't the temperature I felt safe in eating. The staff member did apologize and give us a refund; I did find it peculiar they wanted the order back, even after I had disposed of it in their trash. Perhaps their cooked menu is the way to go. I just wanted to warn my raw oyster enthusiasts.

GIRL. If you like kalbi or love kalbi. This is the place to be. We ate here four days in a row basically most of our time in waikiki. We just had to keep going back for the kalbi. Ugh it was divine and delicious. I have no words for Hawaiian food absolutely scrumptious. It's a food truck off the main strip, cute and tucked away, super overwhelming with all the different options of food but they have photos of everything so you don't go wrong with any choice. I tried kalbi coconut shrimp, kalbi garlic shrimp, kalbi, and just more kalbi haahah Do It now.

Most visitors know that Hawaiian food trucks are a must...well how about a shipping container? Blue Ocean operates out of a massive shipping container, displaying its HUGE seafood menu for all to easily see. I ordered the calamari and shrimp kebab, which came with a Hawaiian roll, salad, and white rice. For ~$15, the price can't be beat. The quality isn't 5-star worthy, but good for a satiating seafood meal. To me, my shrimp kebab tasted a bit like sticky caked up charcoal, so it wasn't the best tasting shrimp I've had on the island- but again, only $15 for a generous portion of seafood! The only other issue I had was the seating area...I had to clean my table and chairs off due to fresh bird poop (birds lurk around the area in hopes of munching off of you!).

Food was delicious. The menu is HUGE, almost overwhelming to choose from, but a very wide selection. The prices are decent for what you get. I got the tempura shrimp and it came with rice, salad, and a hawaiian roll. The salad was basically just lettuce not really a salad but I like it like that anyway. The staff was nice. The seating is all outdoor with big tables (I'm pretty sure they all sat around 6 people) but there was loads of pigeons (not the restaurants fault).

Blue Ocean Seafood & Steak is a larger food stand/Food truck located across from the well know food truck area off this stretch of Waikiki. They are hard to miss as they have big signs everywhere, and of course, that big blue block really stands out color wise while walking down the street. The food they offer here is a massive menu selection, and they offer just about any variety of what you would find from a Hawaiian BBQ place. They offer course offer a wide variety of seafood options as well, and even have things such as lobster on the menu, so not just your typical Hawaiian BBQ spot. They are also open earlier in the day and late into the night, so easily accessible. When I visited them earlier in the day I got the fried calamari and loco moco combo. The service was okay, no complaints. The food I got was hit and miss. The part that was a total miss was the rice and the mac salad, as I feel both of these were just old from the previous early day or further back and needed to get rid of it. The rice was hard, but not in a dried rice way, because it's been reheated poorly. The mac salad was honestly the worst mac salad I ever had, which is strange considering I'm getting it from the source. But not only did it not taste right, the sauce itself was grainy on every bite I could stomach until I gave up. However, the other parts of it, behind the actual loco moco and the fried calamari was fine. Egg was fine that was with the loco moco, and gravy no issue. Fried calamari was a bit on the tougher side but still tender so I didn't mind. At least the main actors for this dish were on point. Overall, Blue Ocean is a convenient option with a vast variety of choices to pick from when it comes to food options. They also offer some of the cheapest options in Waikiki for food, so not a bad place to be either. However, I'm not sure if the rice and mac salad for me this day was just a one off, and hope it was because those really took me out of the redeeming qualities for this place. Perhaps will try them in the future when I'm back and give them a try later in the day.

Honestly, was a banger. Tons of options, quick service, but made fresh to order. Worth the try if you're in the area!

Late night eats! 3 1/2 stars. After day drinking, this sure beats McDonald's. The salmon was a little overdone and the coconut shrimp was fried a little too long, but again, late night eats! Lol. I was hungry and it hit the spot. Fast and friendly service. Outdoor bench seating. Prices are average. $20 for my plate. Will I go again? Sure, for late night eats.

Love this place. Food is really good and the customers service is amazing. Highly recommended My favorite was the shrimp with steak and

I've visited this place four times during my trip. The food is amazing, and the outdoor seating area is particularly nice, especially at night. This restaurant is just a few blocks north of Waikiki Beach. One day, we ordered food and walked to the beach to watch the sunset. Don't hesitate to stop here at all definitely worth it.

This food truck has a great variety. It has great prices and we recommend it to all who travel to Hawaii.

We were walking by here and the aroma from this food truck filled the air. The food smelled wonderful and we had to give it a try. It's right by Maguro Spot where I picked up my lunch. The hubby decided to try their sweet chili chicken $17. The prices are a bit higher here in Waikiki. They gave a lot of chicken. I can't do spicy and thank goodness it wasn't spicy at all. It was on the sweeter side. It was yummy after just getting out of the fryer and being drenched in their sauce. It came with white rice, toss salad and a butter roll. I would eat here again, but looking for parking around this place is nuts.

O-M-G!! I drove by here a couple of days in a row and saw all the excitement. I looked it up and yum! It looked so good.. Being that I was staying just around the corner, I planned on coming here for dinner. Boy ol' boy, what a dinner it was! Although I wasn't particularly happy about my $83 bill, I was very happy with my food. I ordered Lobster & Garlic Shrimp (I meant to order steak), Garlic Shrimp & Calimari, and Shrimp Kabobs. F*kn AMAZING! I'll be back before I leave, for sure. They took my order immediately and plates came out quickly. I was amazed at all the different foods they serve here. It is a (permanent) food truck, but a truck that looked like a bus, in blue. There were many tables to sit at and each had umbrellas, which were needed because of how often these little clouds will fly by and rain on you. Overall, a great experience and my tummy is extremely happy!

Amazing selection of meats, fresh seafood, chicken, salads, even breakfasts & pizzas, prepared quickly and at pretty decent prices! We've had whole calamari, shrimp & steak skewers, sammies & pizzas and everything was great. We've already been back several times during our stay so far! Plenty of shaded seating and the staff has been friendly and welcoming. There are still menu items we'd like to try!

Blue Ocean was a recommendation from Dexter at the Hilton on Kuhio. Grateful to Dexter because we enjoyed BOSS more than once during our stay. I first shared the garlic shrimp/lobster combo with my husband. I didn't take a picture of that but it was delicious! The combo isn't cheap but it's perfect to share with two people and I'd say it's well priced for what you get!. There were at least 4 large shrimps smothered in buttered garlic bits and the lobster was tender and easy to pull right out of the tail. The tail was grilled perfectly and both came on a bed of rice with a side of corn and a small amount of salad. We went back a second time for some moco for breakfast. This time we each had our own. the moco came with macaroni salad and rice. I preferred the traditional loco moco but both were yummy!

It was alright, a lot of people hyped up this truck bc of the large menu, but it was just alright. They were very friendly but if you're looking for something safe this is the spot.

Stumbled upon that spot while trying to find shelter from an unexpected downpour. This is a no frills place with very tasty food. I noshed on the Caesar salad with shrimp. The shrimp were seasoned to perfection, very meaty and juicy. The service was very fast and friendly. And I believe the food is made to order.

Sunday Morning: The breakfast rush hasn't arrived yet. It's sunny, but not hot. I'm sitting under the umbrellas listening to Island 98.5 while the aunties prep my order of loco moco. Not a bad way to start the day.

Great selection, good food. Pretty busy but things moved along. Got a very nice dinner and my wife enjoyed hers too. There are many tables and folding chairs but we found a spot easily. The whole area was neat and a nice touch is a spot to wash your hands after eating. Would come in handy if you handled shrimp or crabs etc. Will return while I'm in town.

We took a big family trip to Honolulu last month and needed a place to eat for about fifteen people, three of them small children, within walking distance of our hotel in Waikiki. To make things even more interesting, we planned nothing in advance, and this particular meal was our Saturday night dinner. I was relieved, if somewhat skeptical, when my dad suggested Blue Ocean Seafood & Steak. He'd found it on Google Maps, I believe, and it felt pretty random, with mediocre reviews. To be fair, Blue Ocean met all our needs, and if we had better options, I was not aware of them. The space was kind of ideal for our large, loose party: a food shack with a window for ordering and a plain, casual patio. It wasn't busy at 5:30 on a Saturday, and we were able to walk in and grab two adjacent tables without fuss. No booze, but we were free to bring our own--my dad picked up some Coronas nearby. Service was fast and friendly. There were some crazy forks that broke about as soon as we used them, but otherwise, no complaints about the set-up. The food wasn't great, unfortunately. Blue Ocean has an enormous menu, with every kind of seafood as well as pasta and chicken and lamb. There was even another part of the shack that served pizza, though I didn't see a soul going over there and can't imagine it being any good. This felt like a place that would do better if it picked a specialty and did it well. I got the lobster and shrimp kebab combo, which came, like all the other plates, with choice of rice or fries, salad, and bread. The lobster was solid, definitely the best thing I ate here, flavorful and cooked more or less correctly. The shrimp kebab tasted good but was on the dry side. Not terrible, but not the quality you might hope for from a seafood shack. I ate my lobster and shrimp with rice and some hot sauce, which was provided on request. I also tried some of the calamari, both grilled and fried. The grilled calamari was rubbery, but the fried version was satisfying. My husband made the mistake of ordering fish. His salmon was genuinely awful, maybe the worst thing I've eaten at a place that exists to cook and serve food. Gray and dry, an almost inedible waste of fish. Our kids fared better with their spaghetti and meatballs. I can't say I'd recommend Blue Ocean, but it was there for us when we needed it, and I did enjoy my lobster. It's an easy option if you need to feed several people in Waikiki. Avoid the fish, and you'll do okay.

Was craving a semi late night bite after cruising around Waikiki area. Whenever I pass by and even today it is always popping. I usually take a look on Yelp to see others experiences but we just decided to try it out on a whim. When we took at the menu I was immediately overwhelmed. So many options and they have pictures of all of the items (which I love!). The service/ordering style is like a food truck, where you go up to one of the windows to order and the other to pick up when it is ready. The seating area is pretty casual and they got radio playing which is cool. They have 2 windows to order from which speeds up the process (one is card only I think). There's plenty of seating for you to grab and sit down to either wait for and/or eat your order We ordered the: - Prime Rib & Garlic Shrimp When it was ordered, the lady asked how we wanted it done. We said "Medium Rare", when we received the order (and ate it right away), it was DEF NOT medium rare (look at image below). It was well done or medium well to be generous. It was tough and dry, very disappointing. The garlic shrimp was fine, as expected. - Sweet Chili Chicken & Coconut Shrimp: In my opinion there was not enough sweet chili sauce to cover all of the chicken, some (too many imo) of the chicken was too small and kind of dry as well. The bigger pieces were fine but there wasn't much big pieces. The coconut shrimp was good, strong coconut flavor as expected. Don't understand the popularity, maybe tourists are just clueless of the other options around? Or maybe we just had bad luck, they do have a lot of items to explore. Overall, probably would not come back again.

I had a hard time picking because there were so many options! The whole side of the building was dedicated to their menu with photographs. I appreciated the photos of the menu because I am a very visual person so it was nice to see and it also helped me select my order. I ordered the Mahi with coconut shrimp- and it was scrumptious! It's hard to go wrong with seafood while being on an island. The mahi was grilled and it had good seasoning and texture while the coconut shrimp was nicely breaded and had a sweet crispy taste. I also tried their Chicken and steak kebabs and that was great too! It was an outdoor establishment with a large open seating of umbrellas, tables and chairs. The service was friendly and efficient. There was a small wait for our food but all good things take time! They accept cards but they prefer cash. We parked in the international market place and walked there which was about 0.35 miles/ 8 minute walk. It's also walking distance to Kuhio Beach, Waikiki Beach and Queens Beach. We went here twice during our visit, I highly recommend trying this place out!

Very cool stand in a converted shipping container. Ridiculously large menu with big pictures of each item on the wall. Terrible breakfast burrito. Decent prices for the area. Not a huge fan....

I've got a soft spot for Blue Ocean. 4 years ago when I first vacationed to Oahu, I had an Airbnb near Blue Ocean and I ate here as my like "midnight meal" 3 times that week. So good. The lamb. The shrimp kebab. The kalbi. All over white rice, with some lettuce to balance out the saltiness. So many options and combinations too. The price isn't that cheap - but it's also not a wallet destroyer, considering how expensive everything else in Waikiki is. Plus lamb/kalbi/shrimp are usually the more expensive things so more justifiable. Blue Ocean is as good as the ocean is blue. So... very good.

They have many food selections to choose from. Love their Hawaiin Shrimp Kebab. Would come again.

Delicious food... absolutely loved the Lobster and Mahi.. excellent flavor and huge portions. I'll definitely be back.

I ordered the steak and coconut shrimp kebab. the shrimp was undercooked and there was only one piece of edible steak on the kebab. the rest of the steak was so tough that I couldn't even bite down on it. the best part of my meal was the stale Hawaiian role. HIGHLY unsatisfied....

Delicious and fresh! Will be back a few more times this trip! Highly recommend - lots of seating as well

Oooooh, I love this spot! An Uber driver actually suggested this spot as we were on our way to our hotel and we had this for dinner on our last night. SOOO GOOD! It's a food truck and the price matches the load of food they give you! service was quick and ambiance is decent too- I mean you're sitting outside so there isn't much to it but definitely stop by here, you'll regret it if you don't

Parking is terrible BUT the environment & food were well worth it. I had the shrimp pasta. Shrimp had great flavors, with the pasta, it worked well together. Hubs had the Hawaiian Ham pizza. Pineapples don't go on pizza, but for the sake of this trip...it does! Wish we had the iced tea where we live. It was delicious! The price vs Qty of food - worth it! The menu is a bit overwhelming. You can't just pick one! Enough tables & chairs plus shade for the area they're in.

DISHONEST!!! I ordered and paid online for 12 shrimps but when it arrived they only gave me 8 shrimps! This is robbery!!! Very disappointed with my order! Beware of this food truck on KUHIO avenue. Do not trust them with your money.

i actually came here twice to get some grub. first time i got mahi and garlic shrimp and the second time i got whole fried fish. both times it was around $20 cash. considering the prices in this rip off tourist trap city, this is a deal just warning, alot of my reviews on waikiki will be ripping on this tourist trap. the mahi can be considered discount since its local here. in CA, this would be $30 as mahi mahi is damn expensive. again, I came here twice cuz its ONLY $20.... and good food to boot. cook to order. highly recommend taking the $3 bus ride to get your grub in this area.

TLDR : You will find something to eat here! Lots of options, decent outdoor seating. We tried Blue Ocean food truck during our stay in Hawai. This was close to our hotel and had something to offer for everyone. They were the only truck we were able to find something that had good options apart from salads and açaí for vegetarian food. We ended up trying most of their vegetarian options and were not at all disappointed. This was also a good option for those looking for a relatively cheaper offering compared to the other fancier options. The owner was friendly and so were the other servers.

During my time in Waikiki this October, this was the place that I thought served the best poké ! It kind of is 'food-truck'-y, meaning that it is outdoors and seating is outside, too. There were also a lot of pigeons flying around and in the trash cans (which is normal for a handful of Waikiki establishments I noticed!). Anyways, I don't know what made the poké so delicious, as there was not a ton of sauce nor seasoning, but it was just so much more flavorful than the other poke bowls I tasted elsewhere ! The servers were friendly but I rated this 4 instead of 5 because the ordering instructions were a bit confusing (there's 2 order windows depending on what you want to order and it's not clear when you go to which window), plus it felt like they were a bit short staffed. It took around 20 minutes to get our food. I really loved what I got, though. Since our hotel was close to this place as well, my husband ordered from them for at least another two times. Would recommend !

Dare I even post this on my profile in fear of people judging my food tastes... Anyway, this place was *shudders* disgusting. The service was quick and friendly hence the 1 star (and also, so I can actually post a review of it). But wow. I had just landed in Hawaii and was dying for food. Desperate times might not always call for desperate measures. The cashier recommended the Coco shrimp, Lamb, and Mahi Mahi. My partner ordered the shrimp and chicken, and I ordered the Mahi and garlic shrimp combo. I ate one (1) bite of the fish for I literally could not stomach the rest. I didn't even touch the shrimp after that. It could've used a bit longer in the microwave. The chicken looked uhhh.. like chicken I guess so props to them. But the coco shrimp were nothing special. Did I mention the price? Oh, yeah- $20 for that. Girrrrl be so for real. That frozen food was not worth even $10.. In short, please steer clear even if you might be desperate. Wish I could get that money back.

The salmon was less than impressive, it was really dry. Wife says Fish & Chips were alright. Wouldn't recommend.

Not impressed. For one its VERY pricey, spent $100 at a 'food truck' carry out, no tip and no drinks. Actually its a large shipping container and permanent. Food was not bad but once is enough. 6 oysters were small and not plump/full size, average taste. Hawaiian shrimp was flour tasting and flaky, again not full. 'Chicken wings plain' were breaded and small but tasted ok. Bacon cheeseburger was large but obviously boxed, not fresh made. Personal size pizza seemed like a cheap box store frozen brand. Fries that came with chicken were the highlight, good large and hot. Over priced, very busy joint with 10? outdoor tables and right in town but a miss for us.

I didn't like this place at all. The night before coming here, it looked very busy but then I realized, it is a tourist area. So, I figured, people are also new this place. I was curious so we decided to have lunch here. I ordered what I thought seemed perfect on the picture they have on the wall of fame they have. It wasn't fresh. My rice tasted like a day old. It was very soggy in the bottom. No wonder the only guy working at the time disappeared from the front and we couldn't find him to ask for some drinks. I do not recommend this place. Go to the other truck. There is a Korean truck on the other side of the street. It was expensive too. It was a bust.

This play was yummy! We ordered a few dishes . The place was busy for a Wed night. There are many dishes to choose from. I got yhe steak/coconut shrimp over rice. It was filling.

We came from Oklahoma City, grabbed a quick bite to eat today having a chicken fried rice and a pineapple cup. It was so good!!

This place was absolutely disgusting. Food took forever for very plain wings, soggy cold fries, and the prime rib had literally no seasoning on it whatsoever. A huge waste of $50. I honestly don't even know how they're still open. I never write reviews, but for this I had to. It was the worse meal I had my entire trip.

Steak kabobs tasted pre cooked and over cooked after cooking it like it's fresh. Calamari over cooked and lobster was salty. PIZZA SPOT NEXT TO IT OLD LADY IS SO RUDE AND PIZZA TASTED GROSS WASTE my money. I asked for red pepper flakes and the girl helping the mean old lady that kept yelling at her, gave me black pepper season packs. Then I said no it's red so she tried to offer me a piece of red bell pepper. Never again.

This place was mediocre at best, some of the food was good and some wasn't the best. Would return.

Man so many choices!!!! First go around tried Hawaiian shrimp. Came out with rice on skewers with pineapple. Soooo good. A little pricey at $22. Some of the top shrimp I have ever eaten. Aloha!!!! Will be back again this week to try something else. Highly recommend. Tried Katsu chicken today and it was amazing. Would highly recommend. Very tender and breading just flaking off the meat. Yum!

This place has a crazy variety of food! Everything we had was delish! They have so many options that everyone will find something. Quick and nice service. They have tables outside to eat or wait for your order! They play music it feels nice while you wait. We took our lamb and oysters to go! Yum

Expensive seafood truck. I paid over $40 for a lobster tail/grilled shrimp rice bowl and I thought both their shrimp and lobster were bland and tough. I couldn't even finish half the bowl.

The food is good for the reasonable price, the sauce on the garlic shrimp was really good, on the shrimp and the rice the service is quick, and there are rain/sun protected tables if you want to eat there, or take out. Repeat customer here!

Decided to try this place cause it was near my hotel, definitely don't recommend overpriced and food was not good or fresh at all! If you're a tourist and you're looking for good food this is not the place

We got grilled squid and fried soft shell crab. Generous portions of food with decent prices. The food is not the best, out of this world, but good place to grab and go. There are few outside tables but it was too windy to sit there. Service is pretty quick.
