As regular patrons of Ocean Basket Gateway, located at Shop G001 Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Umhlanga Ridge, Umhlanga, my family and I can't help but praise the outstanding quality of food and the overall dining experience we consistently enjoy. One of the standout features of Ocean Basket Gateway is the exceptional freshness of their sushi. Every visit feels like a culinary adventure as the sushi rolls are always prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. It truly feels as if the seafood was caught just an hour ago. The flavors are vibrant, and the textures are delightful, showcasing the mastery of the sushi chefs.

The menu showcases a variety of options, allowing you to choose your preferred fish and cooking style. Each bite is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and freshness.

Speaking of main course meals, the affordability factor at Ocean Basket Gateway is truly commendable. Despite offering high-quality seafood, the prices are surprisingly reasonable, allowing guests to enjoy a fulfilling and flavorful meal without breaking the bank. This combination of value and quality is a rarity in the dining scene, and it's one of the reasons we keep returning to this restaurant. Now, let's talk about the desserts.

So the overall experience was absolutely awesome. MOST staff are friendly and welcoming - our waitron was DJ with the assistance of Mohammed (with the exception of one who decided to give me a stare down each time she zoomed past -which made it uncomfortable. Ps. I didn't catch her name, but she was an Indian lady, short hair in a pony, and average height )..... We ordered a seafood platter for 2 (as I attended with my partner). The platter was made in abundance of fish, prawn, clamari served 2 ways and mussels.... With have the option of rice /chips as a side. The butter sauce they serve with their dishes are rich and yummy... A great combo with seafood. A word of advice for the novice customer, do not order starters when ordering this meal. It's a meal for 2 , but atleast 3 could eat from it. We took atleast 70% of our meal back home (and it still kept well in the fridge) . The calamari done 2 ways was super amazing. Will defs Re-order and pretty much is the best I've tasted compared to other 4 star places. Now onto the not so grand parts. We were looking forward to the mussel bowl (starter), and the mussels from the platter.... However. The order that arrived at our table looked almost nothing like what the menu made it out to be.... The mussle beards were out, but the poop shoots were left in. I didn't realise until my second bite and requested for my partner to stop consuming it as well. We did not complain as the staff were pretty friendly, but still not something to be overlooked either. The other issue we had was that the seafood was overly drenched in butter and to a point where even the lemon wasn't enough to cut through, this also made the dish a Tad bit salty. Perhaps for the prawns & mussels that would work, but on the fish, calamari and chips felt over powering. The calamari would have been better crispy and served with tartar sauce instead of being drenched in butter, however , still a hit.

Today I had a decent dining experience at Ocean Basket Gateway. The restaurant was bustling with activity on Mother's Day, resulting in a queue to enter. Despite the crowd, the lighting was adequate, and the seating arrangements comfortably accommodated my large family. The staff members were friendly and provided satisfactory customer service. Our waitress stood out with her exceptional patience, even though there was a slight mix-up with our order due to the high volume of orders. Notably, the food took a while to be prepared and be served, approximately an hour. The menu offered a wide variety of delicious options, and after careful consideration, my family opted for the Family Platter for 4. This platter contained a generous portion of fish, calamari, chips, and rice, and it was both flavorful and satisfying. To quench my thirst, I enjoyed the Apple and Mint Cooler, which was a refreshing choice. Overall, Ocean Basket Gateway is an excellent choice for gatherings with loved ones. The atmosphere is delightful, the food is scrumptious, and the service is commendable. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in search of a memorable dining experience, and I look forward to dining in a quieter time with more friends and family.

Sushi is a Japanese dish. I don't know why it's too famous in SA. We noticed many Sushi Bars in SA cities. I wanted to try it. Yeah.... Just wanted to try it and than wanted to have some proper sea food. We were roaming around in Gateway Mall Durban and slotted Ocean Basket...I ordered Sushi it was good... After that I orders sea food platter which included all. Overall ...I loved the platter. It was too much for a single person. But than I don't believe in wasting food so I had to finish it all. I also had one entire bottle of some Je Roux sparkling wine. Overall the good was good. Service was good...but than service should be good as they always accpet 10% of bill as tip. We had a nice food and some nice wine at this place..over all I liked it

This restaurant recently went HALAL. It is very convenient if you working or living around Gateway. The finishes are interesting. It is wheelchair accessible. there is indoor and outdoor seating. We somehow managed to keep the cost under R200 per person which is incredible (I didn't count the kids and included drinks). The portions were large that we took home and had another round. The flavours were simple but good. There are rest rooms. There is also a prayer facility. Place was clean. there was very Good service from very kind waiters and greeters on the way in. I feel I will be going again.
