Based on 637 reviews

Ocean36 Restaurant in Kota Kinabalu is frequently praised for its unique and soothing ambiance, highlighted by an impressive central aquarium that creates an immersive dining experience. Customers consistently commend the attentive and friendly staff, noting exceptional service that often goes beyond expectations. The menu offers generous portions, particularly of meat dishes, though the pricing is generally viewed as on the higher side relative to local standards. While the food quality is satisfactory and suitable for special occasions, some diners feel the flavors could be more distinctive. Cleanliness and a comfortable environment further enhance its appeal, making it a popular choice for families and groups seeking a memorable yet slightly upscale dining outing.

Great ambience, friendly staffs & fast service too. Price range around mid-high. Some items suitable with its price, some are over the roof. For the Taste, all meats (chicken chop, lamb chop and beef steak)taste great with big portion but I’ve tasted better ones in KK.

This is my first time here and I love it! Apparently they have 2 wings, the old one and the new one. I dined in at the new wing. They have new decoration (long aquarium at the center) and great ambience. It was not too crowded or noisy. The staffs were ready to assist me at any time. Toilet was clean too. Overall, the ambience is really great! I will come here again with my families and friends!

We first went to this place we never seen. This place inside design is so clean, nice, cold and interesting. Looks alike a pub. We feel so comfortable and enjoy the view of aquarium. Feels like we are in the underwater.Good service and friendly. It warmed our hearts.The foods and drinks of menu we seen is all quite expensive and too pricey than we thought cheaper.After our meals are served, we are too excited to try eat these. All tastes delicious and not too bad than we imagine. We absolutely loved it! We wonder the chef of this place is master and professional..Anyway, the price need fix to be normal

First time bringing the kids to have dinner here. It was raining at the time, and what touched us was the staff at Ocean 36 coming out with an umbrella, opening the car door, and even carrying my child. Aww, actually, we had an umbrella too, but the staff quickly helped us. Thank you!! Throughout our dinner, the service from the staff was truly BRAVO! The food was good, and we left with full tummies. The best part was the sushi, which is my kids' favorite. With service like this, we’ll definitely come back. After we finished eating, they even opened the door for us, and one of the staff helped take a picture of us. Thank you, Ocean 36 staff!

Ocean36 Restaurant offers a uniquely captivating environment, adorned with numerous saltwater aquariums. The delicious cuisine comes with a slightly higher price, justified by the expenses of maintaining these intricate displays. The challenging upkeep of the aquariums doesn't go unnoticed, adding to the dining experience. Children particularly enjoy the mesmerizing aquatic setting, making it a definite return destination for families.

Feeling hungry and missed the deep blue ocean waters? This is the best place you can dine and the first Restaurant in KK run this concept you can even eat one of the fresh and good Sushi here. Nice to bring kids around to let them keep their gadgets away and focus more to the amazing wonderful Nemo fish world, back to their services they treat you very well and didn't even care what you're wearing well respect to the waitresses. Well mannered well organized. Food is not bad at all ordered lunch menu set worth waiting and taste wise is really satisfied. Overall this Restaurant deserve 5 Star review especially the way they serve customer. Definitely their will be more visit here. Date 2/5/2022
