Order onlineA neighborhood favorite in Virginia-Highland
For years, Ocean Wave has been a quiet Atlanta staple — the kind of place regulars bring first-time visitors and out-of-town family. Here's what keeps them coming back.
Fresh sushi, made to order
Every roll is cut and plated when you order it — never pre-made. We source fresh fish and hand-select cuts of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and seasonal specials so the flavor and texture speak for themselves.
Authentic Thai kitchen
Curries simmered from scratch, wok-fired noodles, and grilled specialties built on traditional recipes. Sweet, sour, salty, and spicy — balanced the way Thai cooking is meant to be.
A neighborhood table for Thai & sushi
For years the North Highland community has gathered here for fresh sushi and bold Thai flavors. Under Harry & Sons, that story continues — with the same team, the same recipes, and a renewed commitment to the craft.

“Lobster sushi roll was a hit! I wasn't expecting so much meat on top but it was fresh and a compliment to sushi. We got the spicy tuna roll and volcano roll as well. The margaritas were strong and tasted exactly how you'd expect. I'm really glad to have found a new sushi restaurant with a nice balance of classic and creative rolls. The ingredients were fresh and I was impressed with each roll. Service was great and we didn't need a reservation despite it being 7pm on a Thursday.”
“Wow. What a surprise. Didn't plan to eat here — just happened. And I'm very glad it did. The very best Thai I've eaten in all of the Atlanta area, if not in the world. It's really that good. The room is warm, the service was attentive without hovering, and every dish came out balanced and thoughtful. I'll be back. Very, very soon.”
“This is the best sushi in town, in my opinion. I enjoy visiting with my family because they offer a wide variety of choices that cater to everyone — traditional nigiri for me, creative rolls for the kids, and Thai favorites for my husband. The fish is always pristine, the rice is seasoned just right, and the service is consistently excellent. It has quietly become our neighborhood standard.”
“This was a great spot for sushi and Asian cuisine on a Sunday afternoon. It was my first time there but my friends go often, and I was happy to accompany them. The service was fast, the room had a lively but easy hum, and the food was genuinely delicious — the curry had real depth and the rolls were cut cleanly and plated beautifully. Can't wait to go back again!”
