This place is well known for its great service and friendly staff, that is always ready to help you. When you enter this place, pay your attention to the cool atmosphere.

First let me say that we frequently go to this restaurant. Usually the service and food is good. Yesterday was another story. Our waitress was purposely delaying our order and meal. She was not attentive at all. First she brought our rolls and promised to bring plates and cutlery but did not return with it. We reminded her twice and eventually another waiter seeing we were waiting so long sorted us out. By that time our rolls were cold. We ordered sushi and were prepared for a bit of a wait but what happened next was ridiculous. She was chatting to other staff and walking around, I saw this plate of sushi standing waiting and I told my husband I hope that is not ours because our waiter went up to it and chatted to the sushi ladies and walked away without it. It stood a full 30 minutes and then guess what! She brought it over to our table! I was so shocked. She muttered an apology for it being late and seemed to chuckle. I was so shocked I could not get the words out. By that time we were so hungry and late for a hospital visit so my husband said to just leave it and let’s go. We tried to gobble down the cold sushi but the fried fish bits were cold and unpleasant. What a terrible experience and so much sushi waisted.

Shop 574, Tygervalley Centre, Bill Bezuidenhout and Willie van Schoor Dr, Bellville. One of my favorite dishes at OB is the seared salmon. After having eaten it at many other branches, I pointed out to the supervisor that their portions were much smaller than what I’d had at other branches. I showed her pics of the same dish that I had at OB haasendal as well as at harbour Island. She looked at the pics and acknowledged that there’s was OBVIOUSLY smaller than the others. But she insisted that they weighed the fish and that it was indeed the correct weight. Needless to say that was the last time I went to Ocean Basket Tygervalley. There are many branches to chose from and I now choose not to support this branch.
Thank you for an awesome evening. Excellent prepared food and fantastic service. We just had a slight hearing problem, probably because of the good vibes of all your other patrons👍❤️ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Went there for lunch on Sunday. We ordered platter for two. Platter is quite big, a lot of food. Mostly it is was good, except that they add lots of butter to the food making it too oily. Also mussels didn’t have any flavour. But other than that we enjoyed the meal and enjoyed the atmosphere there. Waiter was friendly. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 300–350
It was my first time trying Ocean Basket as I'm not the biggest seafood fan, however I do like certain food. I ordered the salmon which was very tasty, but extremely oily (i ended up patting some of it off with serviettes). I do understand that fish is naturally 'oily' but it was mixed with whatever they used to make it which was a bit overkill. However, the salmon thereafter was very tasty. The waiter seemed a bit clueless and didn't know answers to questions i had about the food. Overall not a bad experience and would possibly come back again at some point.
Went on 3 July 2022 just after 5pm (I think they close at 7pm on a Sunday). Had the cosmopolitan to share (it was very sweet) and you can get about 6 glasses out of it. We also ordered a seafood platter for 2 and it was very delicious. A big thank you to our server, Duncan for his friendliness and assistance. They played really good music as well.

We dined in on 14 October, and our waiter was not friendly at all. He took his time to serve us, made us wait very long to order, to get our food and to pay. People that came after us were served before us. When we called him to our table he gave us this dirty look like he was annoyed that we called him. After that we decided not to tip and he had the audacity to tell us “ according to my calculations it looks like you guys didn’t add a gratuity “ I was shocked and asked if it was compulsory, it would’ve been automatically added on the receipt, he said it is.. we still didn’t tip. Then after paying my mom said Thank you and he stormed off without saying anything. This is the first time we experienced bad service at this restaurant and we were uncomfortable and honestly wanted to leave the whole time, but the amazing food is what kept us there.

What a lovely experience I had the mussels with chips (I skipped, but you also get extra rice) and was more than satisfied with both portion size and taste. The strater bread was heavenly as well (dip it in the sauce for the mussels!) Also, our waiter Turbulence (awesome name) was absolutely lovely. Made great recommendations, always approached us with a smile, he was not there too much, but was never hard to get to either. He hit the sweet spot very well. We also saw how cool they handle birthdays. They celebrate im a greek fashion, you should come here to find out what I mean, I can't do it justice with a few words. The music was also on point the whole evening. Edited to fix spelling mistakes. Meal type Dinner Price per person R 150–200 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
This visit definitely showed me that Ocean Basket is a true force to be reckoned with, in the sea food restaurant space. Every single element on this plate, including those soft and delicious buns, was out of this world. It certainly won't be long before my return. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
