Ocean Basket Kemptonpark

Such a great little restaurant! The service is super quick! The meal was fresh and I was pleasantly surprised when the waitress gave me an additional portion of calamari as part of a buy one get one free deal. We were in and out in 30 minutes!Food: 5/5

Great service from this Ocean Basket, Glen Acres. We’ve tried many, still craving the good ole’ times at OB, and here we found it. Our waiter, Prisca, was so friendly and helpful. I was still busy digesting starters when mains already arrived. Not just was Prisca great - ALL the staff and manager on duty was great. Thank you so much! 14/3/2023.

By far not the best OB in town. Honestly, I was disappointed with the service, atmosphere very noisy kitchen and fish which had lots of bones. The calamari was very good.Food: 2/5

Overall the food I had was good The fish was nice but the flavors weren’t as described in the menu. It could have been much better. The drink looked great but it was just ok when it came to taste. The cookie pan was probably the better one. I like how crispy it was. I would like to visit this restaurant again to try another dish cause I feel they do make some dishes good. I would recommend giving this restaurant a try.

When we got there, they said they do not have prawns. We were fine with the idea. Then one of the waiters dropped butter in my hair and they all played silent and said they do not know of anything. We asked the waiter when they will deliver the prawns and she said in 30 minutes. We waited 30 minutes and asked the waiter whether the prawns is there and she said not yet. When we ordered we said that instead of the California roll, we would like a hand roll because they do not have any prawns. Then the waiter all of a sudden said they do have prawns. We were not very happy with our experience.

If you dont frequent the place, dont expect good service. You are told to sit you want and not welcomed at the door. They are open during loadshedding but cannot fulfill their orders , like deepfrying sqid heads. Stingy with their famous lemon butter source. Place was not busy and if it was not for the season we were in, i would not have given a tip. Wont see me again.

Seems that lockdown took a toll on the quantity and quality of well-known franchised restaurants but we were surprised that this OB didn't cut down on both after visits to 2 other OB restaurants where we were disappointed on both the q&q - one of the OB's we visited didn't even have the squid heads of the platter in stock. This OB has been there for some time so good to see that they are keeping the q&q one would expect.

Very friendly staff and Atmosphere very much inviting. Just love the food

We had a bad experience, we ordered platter for 2 but the food was not fresh, we had a runny stomach,I won’t recommend anyone to go there.

After around the 10th time dinning at Ocean Basket Glen Marais we were rejected service due to having a small dog at my side. This is outside seating. If inside I could understand but as far as I’m concerned I’m seated outside with smokers. And to top it off while the manager Mr Western - so he’s called is rejecting to serve us another human is walking his dog through the outside seating area, in between the tables and interacting with people seated at a table opposite us. I understand the ‘rules’ but I don’t tolerate double standards. We have frequented this restaurant many times and never had trouble. This is because this is the only time Mr Western was actually on the floor. So that being said, I will never return to Ocean Basket ANYWHERE. These franchises offer nothing unique and special anyway. I would feel better if the manager didn’t treat me like I’ve done something wrong, my dog is better trained than a child sitting across me!
