Nice and fresh and great venue. One of the best Ocean Baskets that I have been to.
The staff is so friendly and welcoming...I had a fabulous dinner date:-)
Fresh well cooked seafood almost as good as the coast. Best Ocean basket by far and in jhb. The decor is better than you typical ocean basket. Very quiet thought could do with a bit more of a vibe.

Last week, I was pleasantly surprised by the healthy and affordable meal that I had at this upmarket OB so I thought I would share both my photos and experience.. I am a firm fan of a fine dining meal out, but Ocean Basket has a casual appeal that is evident in it being voted "South Africa's favorite chain of seafood restaurants".
Interiors:
This OB has one of the most modern and upmarket interiors that I have seen in a long time and I loved the hanging fishing baskets, and comfortable booths.
Food:
I started with fresh oysters (at only R18 each) with a healthy dash of green Tabasco and black pepper. These Namibian oysters were delicious!
Artemis Meze Platter: battered mussels, firecracker squid, zucchini fritters, olives, feta, tarama, hummus, cucumber, tomato. A crunchy, healthier take on the normal comfort food that I like in Winter but it was well-presented! And last but not least..
Smoked Snoek soup which arrived VERY yellow from the cumin that had been added to it but was tasty, creamy and exactly what my cold self was craving!
I am also pleased to see that Ocean Basket care about their impact on the environment, the sea and as such, are registered with SASSI (Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative) to protect our oceans.
Service:
My service from start to finish wasn't altogether amazing, but I did enjoy the meal here and the restaurant staff levels had been affected severely on my visit by the striking happening on that day.
*Recommendation: For an affordable, family outing - you cannot go wrong with this little seafood chain in Dainfern.

What an experience. From the moment I sat down as a solitary diner I was treated with respect and courtesy. The food was good, the service was even better and the ambience was perfect. Will definitely be back. Well done. It's never ideal to go out as a single diner, but you sure made my experience memorable.
Took my kids for dinner today at Ocean Basket - The Dainfern one is lovely and fresh we absolutely loved it .
My son absolutely loves Ocean Basket as I was writing this review I asked him what he thought about his meal today and here it goes " OMG I love the new ocean basket food is very good just like the appearance I think best fish 🐟 shop you can get go there when you have the chance"
We sure will be back 😅😅😍👌🏻
Absolutely love the new decor which is more modern. I enjoyed a battered hake that was cooked to perfection along with stir-fry vege that was very tasty! Great service & overall great time. Will be back!
I am definitely loving the new look ocean basket, its fresh and floaty with nice cane textures. Popped in for lunch, being the quite time now it joburg, our food was well prepared and delicious. Love the stir fry veg and that signature lemon butter sauce. We tried the litre cocktails and requested a remake as it seemed to lack alcohol which was gladly replaced. I have to date always been a take away option at this branch but I am willing to be there more often.
This Ocean Basket is by far our favorite and we visit it atleast once a week for a good meal after a long gym session, top quality food and service/ the waiters are always friendly and the management on top form
We decided to try the new rustic look Ocean Basket at Dainfern shopping and the experience was very pleasant, apparently it is the only Ocean Basket at the moment with the new look and feel. As Ocean Baskets go the food was very good as was the service snd a very attentive Manager. Our only criticism was the lemon butter sauce that wad mostly butter. We will certainly continue to support them from time to time and would encourage whoever reads this review to give them a try.
Absolutely one of the nicest OB I have been to. This seems to be a new theme in the franchise with its fresh decor and modern menu. It has updated the menu and added more variety of combo's.
The atmosphere of the restaurant Is relaxing and invites a very Mediterranean vibe. One can only feel the ocean breeze and the steps of social beings around as you take in the flavours that dance around in your mouth.
This is well worth the trip and effort to make. The service never disappoints and the food is always delicious.
All I can say is yummmmmmmy! 😋 I went there on a Saturday night at around 9pm to feed my craving. On Google they are the only Ocean Basket in my area to open up so late on a Saturday other than the one in Melrose. So I drove over and with only 30mins to spare, they managed to make me a platter for one I’ll never forget. Their service was exceptional! They treated me like they had all the time in the world to serve me even though they had a few minutes left til closing time. None of that ‘get out of here the kitchen is about to close’ stuff. They are located just behind 011 and across Annica’s Patisserie. I didn’t even know there was an Ocean Basket there until my craving struck. Thanks Google!
Great location, especially on a nice day. I would suggest you ask to be seated outside.
Can never go wrong with sea food 😜😜😜
We had a platter for two at 285zar October 2017. Food was good and service as well. Our little one enjoyed running outside and playing with other kids.
Great restaurant, especially with new manager from Potties. What a difference! Keep it up.
Food served in under 10min, everything is perfect 👍🏼😎
