Phenomenal turnaround & 5-Star Experience We recently gave Ocean Basket Brooklyn another try—and what a complete turnaround. This visit was five stars across the board. From the moment we arrived, everyone was friendly and welcoming. Manager Moses was fantastic—professional, warm, and genuinely caring that we had a great experience. Even though the place was really busy, the food came out fresh, perfectly prepared, and honestly tasted like it had just been caught that morning. Zero rubbery fish this time—just quality, flavorful seafood done right. Special shoutout to our waitress Hazel—she was amazing and made sure everything ran smoothly the whole time. We left happy, full, and genuinely impressed by how well they turned things around. We’d 100% recommend Ocean Basket Brooklyn now and will definitely be back again and again. Thank you Moses, Hazel, and the team—you reminded us why we loved coming here in the first place!

I had a wonderful experience here. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was inviting, and everything felt well-prepared. A special thank you to Nene as well (the waitress), she provided exceptional service. She was warm, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed. Her professionalism and kindness truly elevated my visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!
