After a disastrous experience at OB Cresta, a few months ago, I needed a local seafood restaurant for prawns. Because I had had good service and good prawns at other OB branches, I phoned OB head office and the Cresta branch itself, I was persuaded to take the risk and give OceanBasket Cresta, a second chance, so I booked a table.
This time, the service was good (but left to top up our own wineglasses) the food was hot and the prawns were excellent.
Attended a lunch here at someone else’s request. Had Dorado which was excellent. Generally happy with the experience. So why so many poor reviews? I suggest Management get their act together!!!!
I had the pleasure of taking my kids for lunch this past Saturday. I waiter was friendly and our order arrived timeously. Everything was delicious. Sushi was perfect and beautifully displayed and all other food was perfect. Kids loved it as well. Thank you
Nice atmosphere in new store. More space. Service is good and food good too. There is some new dishes with Trout . Always good for family get togethers

For a Friday evening, which was not busy on arrival, the lights were too bright & lacked ambience and audible music! Waitress tried her best, think she is new. Food wasn't great, lacked flavour & usually OB has great freshness! #goodluck #wontbeback
Ocean basket Cresta has made a huge turn around, it wasn't doing so great for a while, something didn't taste quiet the same but recently it has been fantastic in my past 3 visits. The revamp looks great and I find in the past month they have really found their feet and pulled it together great. Their calamari has been the best I have tasted in years, it has soft and crispy every time.
We tried out a few players on the new and improved menu and absolutely loved our experience at the also new and improved restaurant with an exciting innovative upmarket feel. For starters, we tried the Portuguese sardines, and whilst this isn't everyone's cup of tea, it was still tasty and full of flavour. We also had a taste of the new mediterasian sushi that I really enjoyed and highly recommend. Then for mains I had fish and calamari combo which was great as always. I love the new feel to OB and will certainly be returning on the reg
Had a fabulous dinner at Ocean Basket in the upstairs section of the new Cresta food court! The service was warm yet professional, the vibe lovely, and the food delicious.
Our oyster platter starter was great! Large, flavourful oysters with all the condiments one needs. My sushi platter for one was delicious - really great sushi considering it is not a speciality sushi restaurant. My boyfriend also thoroughly enjoyed his pick of the ocean mains. Will definitely be going back!
Yesterday my friends and I were talking about about food and somehow ended up at the Ocean Basket in Cresta shopping mall, our go to favourite. Whenever we go to an Ocean Basket we all order the platter for one and a village salad for the table. We were greeted by a very enthusiastic waiter which made it a pleasant experience as it was my first time eating at this particular Ocean Basket. We were informed that there was no squid heads available, which made us rethink our situation but a couple minutes later, our waiter informed us that he made a plan in order for us to get some squid heads. The food was decent but our service was above and beyond. If you ever go here ask for Michael and you can see what I mean.
We have been going to this particular Ocean Basket for many many years. We started going there because of their Sushi which was the best we ever had. The selection has certainly grown over time but we still enjoy the old favourites salmon roses, rainbow rolls & hand rolls. The village salad always is fresh and we have it every time. The food is consistently good and we enjoy going there. The reason this franchise is our favourite is all to do with the waitrons and the service we receive. It is like meeting your family every single time we go there, the waiters comes up and welcomes us with huge smiles and personal greetings. Now that is amazing service to return for! Frank is the Man! On the down side it's very busy and can get very noisy. Still the best place for sushi, fish & salad.
This was my first visit to this Ocean Basket in Cresta mall. I was quite impressed with the service. Food was delivered fast and the dishes are always the best and more than satisfying. Very well managed and friendly staff.
Has a spacious area which is very comfortable compared to being in a cramped up space. Would be great if they implemented an outside seating area. Overall an amazing OB that has great staff as well as service!
I'm only going 4 stars because the quality of all the other OBs... this one is ok but not spectacular. Food was ok. I think the renovations may have impacted the evening I was there.
Quick and friendly service, fresh and good quality food...OK, I went a little bit crazy on the garlic and chilli but it still tasted great.
Food always filling and great (if you love sea food). Just not enough place on the table for everything.
So much better than John Dorys in Cresta. Love everything about this Ocean Basket
If you like sea food, a great place to go. Offering great platters, individual meals and sushi. I have never been disappointed.

I was invited by friends. The service was good. I had the seared salmon and it was absolutely delicious. I could easily ordered another portion!
Love it. The food was excellent and the service was fast. The staff was friendly as well. The only thing was that I found my rice was a little bland.
