I’ve always had mixed emotions about Ocean Basket, because I’ve had a really bad experience there as well as a very good experience, both at completely different branches though. Today I decided to try out the one near me, at Cavendish Square, which I’ve walked past for almost two years but never been in. I went with a bit of trepidation and didn’t expect all that much.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised. We both ordered the sushi and it was very fresh and delicious. The salmon roses were perhaps a bit on the bulky side but other than that I really enjoyed it and would definitely go back. We went for the Zen platter which came with 2 pieces of salmon roses, 3 pieces of salmon nigiri, 3 pieces of salmon sashimi and 4 pieces of salmon California rolls. It’s obvious we’re a fan of salmon. With this we added four pieces of the Sushi Bella (which was salmon and avo wrapped in cucumber) as well as 4 pieces of the Mediterranean Sushi (which was salmon and feta wrapped in rice. These extras were a nice additive to the platter. We love our sushi so we always go a bit large!

I really enjoyed our meal. The place itself was very open and clean and has a nice inside and outside section. We chose inside because if you sit outside you have to deal with the many people going in and out of the shopping centre. Our waiter was very friendly and overall we had a very pleasant evening.
