We were dying for Sushi. So while visiting the Somerset Mall on Saturday, we decided to go to OB.It was full so we had to wait for about 15 mins to be seated.We ordered and 35 mins layer still didnt have our meal. We needed to get to the hospital for visiting hours and had to cancel our order. Manager was gracious.So dont be in a hurry when visiting here on a weekend. Food smelled delicious.

I ordered sushi and had to wait a very long time before it arrived. My husband was already nearly finished with his meal. The sushi was not very good. Each piece fell apart. One could not use any utencil to pick them up to eat and not let them fall to pieces. My advice is never order sushi!! They dont realy make sushi!!

This is the best OB in the area! What they lack in views they make up for in prompt service and somehow the food quality seems a bit better than other branches. My go to!

We enjoyed lunch which consisted of hake soup and have fried bites. The soup was a little bland but hake bites were scrumptious. Staff very pleasant and efficient.It is extremely sad to see the effect that Covid shutdowns has had on businesses.

Absolutely shocked with this service, we got there at 11:35 and sat down when we ordered it was 11:43 I know this as I have photos that I posted at that exact timing. When we got there, nobody was sitting inside not even 1 other person. When we got our food (12:40) after complaining twice and asking what had been taking so long the manager had the audacity to say the order was placed 10min ago and we only ordered then as well as there is a way of how things run in there kitchen. I was absolutely disgusted and not even hungry or in the mood to eat anymore. Just so everyone knows when we got our food there were 7 others tables inside by now which 2 had finished eating and 3 had already been served.

Partial review as it was delivery. I enjoy Cajun, my wife not so much, I enjoy calamari, my wife likes her garlic muscles. Sadly we could hardly tell the difference on our cold soup delivery that was supposed to be a platter for two.

I am one of those people that stick with a restaurant where I had a very good experience and ocean basket is one of those restaurants. When it comes to seafood this is my go to restaurant. I was not disappointed. We could choose where we wanted to sit. Tables are not too close to each other which is very important to me. Clean and neat. Service excellent (thanks Melody) and the manager came to our table twice to see if everything is in order. This ocean basket is one of my favorites now. Will come again 👍😁

I have always been a loyal client of ocean basket Somerset mall... But had food poisoning there about 5 years ago which put me off so much that it took 5 years to order from them again.... Ordered Hake and Rice on Mr Delivery on Sunday 1 August and again.... Food poisoning. Will not set foot there or deliver from there ever again

We’ve been to Ocean Basket several times and enjoyed it BUT the last month I believe something went wrong. Last night - Thursday 17 October we had a terrible experience. Ordered Bite of the Ocean for the 2 of us and both were bad. The fish was dry and had a funny old taste. The rice was under cooked and the Prawns was dry. We called the manager and he said he bring another piece of fish. We asked for grilled and again he bring baked. Like fish that was left over from days before. We usually go to OB for birthdays and celebrations. BUT NO MORE. What will happen if we had a table of 10 ??????

We have been to strand and Gordons bay outlet and was not to happy with our latest visits. People refered us to the mall and wow what an experience. Patience our waitress was soo friendly and good. Food was delicious. Crispy chips and calamari. It just seems that the suppliers does not provide the size of the fish as advertised on the menus though. This is a problem we experienced all over. Food was not oily and was properly prepared.

Review №99

The venue is quite cramped, with little natural light. Menu had a small variety of food. The food was okey - nothing wrong with it, but also not exceptional. Service was good. Place was neat. I probably wont go back there.
