Seafood and Sushi
Reviewed By 323melanief
Having ordered and enjoyed take away sushi from Oceans 8, we decided to have a sit down dinner. I rather wished we had not.For starters I had the prawn drumplings, while he had the tempura prawns. Both were seriously lacking in seasoning, but otherwise good.We both opted for the kingklip fillet for main. My husband had stir fried veg as a side, while I ordered chips as a side. He said he enjoyed his meal, but then his kingklip was not shoe sole thin and was therefore not over cooked. Mine was both shoe sole thin and horribly over cooked. It had absoultely no taste. The fact that the lemon wedge which was served with my meal looked and tasted like one you would find hidden at the back of your vegetable draw weeks later, did not help at all. I was very disappointed in the meal indeed, but the chips were good.I mentioned my concerns to our waitress, who said she would take it up with her manager, but we left without so much as an acknowledgement of my complaint, never mind an apology. (I must add that I certainly did not expect a free meal, as I always insist on paying for my meal even when it is terrible, so that is not the issue.)Our server was friendly, but apart from opening our wine and pouring the first glass, we did not see her between ordering our meals, meal delivery, and asking for the bill.In a town where there are more than enough options ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, I do not think that I will spend any more time at Oceans 8. I may, and I am not convinced that I will, order sushi from Oceans 8 again.

Nicely furnished restaurant, and well placed with plenty parking space. The ladies had Sushi which was very good. The wine list is extensive and should suite just about every taste.I ordered the Mussels in white wine and fennel for my starter. We are very lucky in the Western Cape, we get excellent Mussels. I expected the dish to be more like the French style of Moules Mariniere. I was disappointed. The product was over cooked, and smothered in a creamy sauce. Why do so many South African chefs/cook think the have to serve such a great product smothered in a sauce, which completely destroys the flavour?For main I had Seafood stir fry. The little prawns and pieces of fish were over cooked. The calamari tubes were OK, but as the dish was over loaded with stir fried veggies they were hard to find. Frankly, the presentation of the stir fry was twice a much as was needed, and not a bean sprout to be seen.The coffee was good and the service acceptable. Definitely recommend the Sushi.

Very good food , spoilt for choice ! Service friendly and efficient added to a warm atmosphere makes eating at Wok This Way always an enjoyable experience .Prices are becoming a bit steep and the corkage is ridiculous basically forcing you to drink wine from their limited range of wines which are also expensive __ a mark-up of 250 % represents daylight robbery .

This is our third visit and have never reviewed it as i wanted to make sure the food and service maintained a high standard - which it has done. The Sushi is of a very high standard and an exceptional variety. There weekly specials make it excellent value for money.Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area...
