Haba Ocean Haberfield 94A Ramsay Street, Haberfield, New South Wales 2045

"This place is ALWAYS buzzing and I have to say, the food is always on point and delicious! I usually go and ask them to recommend me food as it’s never disappoint. We had a GF and DF guest and they are very accomodating for a Chinese restaurant and has a section in menu for GF! Seafood is always fresh and tasty and their tofu and eggplant dishes are always so tasty. I can’t fault this place and will highly recommend it!"

"Still one of the best traditional Cantonese style cookings of freshest seafood in Sydney at Harberfield! The place was packed, but their amazing chefs & kitchen staffs for more than 2 years always prepared & cooked high standard delicious dishes. The very good service from Daniel restaurant manager & his team of waiters always smiling & hard working. Always great food & nicest meal at Haba Ocean."

"Best quality Chinese food in the area! Have been a couple of times so far & always love the mango pancakes for dessert, which were very delicious! All the other dishes were fresh & tasty; These are my favourites- Seafood Sang Choy Bow, Seafood Spring Rolls, Salt n Pepper Squid as well as the Whitebait, Seafood Fried Rice as well as the Special Fried Rice, Sweet n Sour Pork…All very delicious! Overall the service was prompt & friendly & the atmosphere was pleasant and comfortable. Will make this one of my go-to places for dining out regularly."

"We WERE pretty happy with their service until this extremely poor experience. The quality of the food at this place has gone downhill in a big way in recent times. They used to serve good quality, tasty and filling food but that is far from the truth now. We ordered four simple dishes to be picked up. Not only were the dishes only three quarters filled, they were filled with onions, on top of onions, on top of onions to “fill out the dishes”. (see the enclosed photos ). After we took out the meat and veggies, the remaining half of the container was mostly onions. We consolidated the remaining dishes and filled one full container with onions. As the photos show, all of the onions were from only 4 dishes. I understand that onions provide flavour etc, but this was going to the extreme and a blatant way to fill out the dish cut down on providing a quality meal that we paid for. In addition the quality of the meats were of very poor quality, tough and a very cheap flavour to them. The beef was so chewy that even my daughter had to spit it out. We ended up giving some of the “not fit for human consumption”meat to our cat after we washed the sauce off. I swear to you, that even he was struggling to eat it and he is not a fussy eater. What a waste of good money. Naturally we called the manager to complain and she was rather indifferent to our complaints, not making any effort to try and rectify the situation. This made us quite annoyed and we told her that we will report this to social media and let the public be the judge if they expect to be served in this same manner. Her answer to us was “sure go ahead everyone is entitled to their opinion.” Well that brings us here. The fact that you are reading this review should start to set off alarm bells. I am giving you an honest review and advice to stay away from this place if you intend to have a decent meal. A once good restaurant which we frequented and in some cases was loyal to as well has treated one of their customers worse than a two dollar corner hotdog stand. Once serving a delightful quality meal has now resorted to using cost cutting measures such as cheap quality meats, Using cheap filler ingredients to make up the volume and Not filling containers as appropriate. What a shame… We normally “suck it up” when we have a poor experience and learnt our lesson and not to ever go back and leave it at that. The sheer hubris of the manager on hearing our complaints this time brought me to write this option and review."
