I love eating at Ocean Basket! It has amazing sushi and calamari, as well as prawns. I usually get sushi, or a seafood platter. I would highly suggest this restaurant.
Whenever we walk into this restaurant it feels like we dining with friends, yip we are here very often. Always warmly greeted and served with excellence.
We love and enjoy all the dishes and the waiters know exactly how we like it served. Musi - the manager always checks on us making sure we are happy.
Highly recommended - the only Ocean Basket we enjoy.
Well now was I not pleasantly surprised 😳 I have not been to this restaurant for about the last 6 years. My daughter wanted fish so we decided to go here, it was great. The food was really good, tasty and so satisfying. I was really impressed and we really enjoyed it. The staff is fine this is not fine dinning so they are not trained in the fine art of waiting, but they are still good.
My family and I arrived at the restaurant pretty late on Sunday night after watching a show. One of the waitress was a bit annoyed with our arrival as she informed us the restaurant closes at 8:30pm and it's 8:29pm!
My husband called prior to us coming through, and the person on the phone said it was alright to come through.
Despite of her attitude, our waiter Chris was wonderful! He took the drink order and then our main, he never rushed us, and let us enjoyed our meals !
The food out from the kitchen was YUMMY 😋
We will definitely be back !!!
One of the better and bigger ocean baskets around. Standards are good but obviously by ocea basket standards. Worth a shot only if you are an OB fan
Ocean basket is not my favorite go-to place for seafood , However they're quite reasonably priced and close to home. I enjoyed the prawn starter with a herby lemon Mayo! Yum! & the fish and chips with rice never disappoints. The village salad 🥗 is a must try , I dream of the creamy feta they use in their dish.
If you are in the surrounding areas definitely come grab a quick lunch or dinner here! I love the vibe here as the waiters are super friendly and service is good! I always order the pangasius and salad which is delicious. The calamari and vegetables are so good and you get a generous portion which is superb!!
We decided to have an early evening dinner as the restaurant is quite nearby.
We walked in and were immediately seated. Out editor was very attentive and service was actually super fast.
We ordered sushi as a starter and then I had the prawn and chips. The food tasted great, the food was full of flavor. An enjoyable meal indeed.
Stopped by Ocean Basket for a quick dinner and opted for the salmon platter. The sushi was fresh and tasty and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend it.
Had the most delicious dinner with the family tonight. The food is always super fresh and the waiters and waitresses are super friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.
Went back again yesterday for lunch (23 September 2016) the food was great and the service was still unreal.
Always perfectly well prepared seafood. We dine here at least once a week. Service excellence. We feel like family here.
Good service with a nice atmosphere. My favorite Ocean Basket in Johannesburg
Excellent, well worth a visit. The food is well-prepared and this branch has friendly, efficient and unobtrusive staff. I am writing this however in September I am referring to my experience before covid lockdown. A few days ago I drove past and I was under the impression that this branch might be closing down sadly? It seems like it when I drove past? Do phone to check and confirm first if you plan on going. It would be very sad indeed if this branch closes due to covid.
Good service and good quality - among the better of the franchises in the area. I usually swap the chips for stir fry and this Ocean Basket seems to have the freshest vegetables. Waiter did mess up my order on the last visit (got fish fried instead of grilled) but it was isolated considering the number of times we've eaten there. Maybe make sure he/she writes it down.
Had a beautiful birthday lunch. That is my favorite ocean basket in Joburg. They never disappoint.
The service is always friendly and they know me by my first name. Def a relationship there.
Thanks for keeping up with the standard.
This is one of the best OB's I've been to lately. Service was prompt and friendly, with our waitress checking on us without being intrusive. We had a sushi platter to start, and it was fresh and well prepared. I had the Dorado with stir fried veggies, which for once wasn't oily. My boyfriend "wasn't hungry" after the sushi, but helped me with my meal quite a bit. My only complaint is their drinks. I had a daiquiri, which tasted very syrupy. And the tequila was served warm. All in all, I'd definitely recommend it. But maybe stick to the stuff that arrives ready-made.
The best Ocean Basket franchise my wife and I have been to; we are definitely regulars here!
My wife loves their calamari and hake and I generally go for either the delicious grilled sole or salmon. We also normally get a plate of lemon Mediterranean sushi, which is such a tasty and different kind of sushi.
Also, as a particular stand out for me, is that they are one of the few places that will actually give you really crispy chips/fries if you ask for it :)
Pleasant evening. Weather was good so we sat on the balcony. Food is always good. I don't know what you do to your feta but it's amazing
The location is nothing special. The ocean basket adheres to the standards of the chain, kind personnel. Good and reliable, good food on an ample choice of fish dishes, excellent value for money.
The usual experience, but they handled the calamari and grilled fish better than at other outlets. Generous extra scoop of lemon butter sauce.
