The establishment is located right after the food court opposite the cinema and the open plan give it a blissful breeze of fresh-air on a nice summer’s day. Now, as for the food, the sushi was below par and I failed to enjoy it. It tasted blend, not sure if it was the old ingredients or inexperienced sushi chef but either way, a huge improvement needs to be made. The seafood platter on the other hand was delectable and thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a mixture of prawns, baby squid, rice, fries and calamari, and, the sauce spread was creamy and flavorful.

As for the service, the staff are welcoming but on this occasion the waiter that was assigned to us was a bit on the rude side. She would just shift our drinks, plates and cutlery without asking. This was the first time I left without adding gratuity, it was that bad. Don’t get me wrong, I have been to quite a few OBs over the years and they have good quality control. My guess is that one waiter is inexperienced when it comes to customer service, something that can be addressed and rectified.

Other than that, the restaurant is clean and I always enjoy coming back. The menu pricing is a bit on the high-side, I’m guessing it's because it's seafood. I will give them a rating of 7.5 out of 10.

Service is great from waiters and management. Different days, expect very different food quality. Sometimes excellent, sometimes dismal. Very questionable kitchen staff. Uncleaned prawns (veins still in the prawns - see picture) and scales on grilled fish (see picture).

We had a good experience there. And we've now become sushi lovers. We sat outside and it was beautiful. Everything was good but the service lacked towards the end, which kind of turned a 'great' experience to a 'just an okay' one.

My partner and I are biiiig fans of OB, we have seen the menu evolve over time. This time around I felt robbed with the addition of the Herby Hake soup and the Prawn and Mussel soup. All that was - 3 prawns, 3 mussels dipped in Knorr Minestrone soup sachet. Utterly disappointed….sad that we could not return it.

The prawn and Hake combo came with a spoon of lemon butter. Had to request twice for the waiter (Calvin) to top up as the food was dry. The hake also had scales on. One of the rare instances that I write such a review for OB.

Well well well.... what a decadent experience... food was fresh, price is reasonable and I am satiated! Worth a visit when you're shopping in Fourways ????

Had a lovely afternoon lunch at OB Fourways Mall. The hospitality from the door to my table was very good. My waiter was Philani. He is so kind. His service was very good. He checked up on me many times to know if everything was okay. The food was well cooked, well displayed, enjoyed my drinks and can't wait to dig in my take away Sushi which came with the soy sauce and chopsticks. I gladly recommend OB Fourways Mall.
Oh! I was also seated outside, they have nice tables outside and I think that is also good for people who smoke because it'll be easier for them to step outside to the smoking area and still be able to watch their table at the same time.
