Ocean Seafood Restaurant

I have a fear of driving to Richmond Hill. The busy Highway 7 during rush hour, and minimized 2 lane traffic...It's a nightmare. However, when it comes to eats, I will do absolutely ANYTHING. Yes, i'm that serious. One beautiful Sunday afternoon, we decided to head to Ocean Seafood Restaurant. Tucked inside a fairly big plaza located by Hwy 7 & Leslie, this place is not hard to miss. The parking was indeed a
nightmare, due to the limited
spots and busy restaurants
that share the same plaza.

 We were given an afternoon tea lunch menu which featured some Hong Kong Style Favourites, Congee, Sandwiches, and snacks that came with your choice of HK Style Milk Tea, Coffee or Iced Tea. The first item that caught my eye immediately was the Baked Pork Chop on Rice (4.5/5). We had the choice of Black Pepper, Cream or Tomato Sauce. Don't let the size of that plate fool ya, this was massive! Although I had no intentions of sharing haha, I had to because it was so big! Topped with cheese, the sauce had a perfect tangy and sweetness to it that wasn't overpowering but left you craving for more. It complimented the rice which was a tad bit undercooked
well, and the pork was juicy.

My sister was craving some Fried Chicken Wings (3.5/5) and these were great. Crispy, Juicy and flavourful, easy on the grease! It was a steal in my opinion, especially because it came with a drink!

We got an order of the Shredded Pork and Vegetable Chow Mein (3.5/5) which was loaded with crisp veggies and tender shredded pork. The addition of bean sprouts added a nice crunch and the sauce had the right consistency.

The Malaysian Style Minced Beef Fried Rice (4/5) was one of the best fried rice I ever had. Not only was beef tender, the rice was flavourful
without exhibiting much MSG and grease. I loved the
addition of the diced Gai Lan,
as it added a nice crunch.



We enjoyed the Singapore Style Fried Vermicelli Rice Noodle  (3.5/5). The spice level of the curry wasn't too overpowering, but it
was still a tad bit salty in my opinion. Again, I love the addition of the crisp veggies as it balanced the dish well.

The dishes we tried this visit were
above average in our opinion,
and we would definitely come back
again, especially to check out
their dinner offerings. The service
was average, but the food and drinks
came out fast which was good. This
is a great place to satisfy your
HK Style favourites cravings for
a decent price.

O'Sheehan's on the Norwegian Getaway

O'Sheehan's, also previously known as Blue Lagoon
on older ships, is the go-to spot for pub food and snacks or a hearty comfort meal. They offer favourites such as Hearty Chicken Pot Pie, Meatloaf, as well as Buffalo Wings. Open early morning till late at night for those craving
a midnight snack, O'Sheehan's is a great place to satisfy those cravings. I mean, afterall you are
on vacation :)


Beautifully decorated with Sports Memorabilia, TV's playing the latest soccer match and
a cute little bowling alley ($5 per play) and childhood favourite arcade games, the atmosphere
is family friendly. During our visits to
O'Sheehan's, I would have to say the service
was quite slow, most likely due to the fact that
they were understaffed. However, our servers
were incredibly friendly each time, and our
food arrived piping hot.




The Warm Spinach & Artichoke Dip (3/5) served with Tortilla chips was flavourful
and loaded with romano cheese. It had the
right consistency , without being too thin or thick,
so it was easy to dip and eat. I did not taste much
artichoke however, as it was loaded with
spinach.

Their famous Buffalo Wings (4.5/5) were
each perfectly coated with just enough
sauce, while still maintaining it's crispiness.
The sauce was not too hot, which we enjoyed
and were incredibly juicy. These were great,
especially with their large selection of beers and
draughts.







 As I am writing this review....thousands of
miles away, my mouth is watering for
their Chicken Pot Pie (5/5) . I've had my
fair share of Chicken Pot Pies at local
pubs and diners here in the city, but after
trying the one from O'Sheehan's, it easily
wins the best Chicken Pot Pie Crown in
my books. Topped with a GINORMOUS
flaky and buttery pastry, the flavourful
broth underneath was loaded with a
plethora of carrots, celery, onions,
and of course large, tender pieces of chicken. 
We had this at least 5 times, and each time,
it was served piping hot! Perfect, especially
after a long day at sea.




 Another Pub favourite of mine, are
Fried Mozzarella Sticks (3.5/5).These
were just okay even though they were fried
to perfection, as the breading was a tad too
thick and the accompanying Marinara
Sauce was too runny. I did enjoy the fact
that even with the heavy breading, the
Mozzarella on the inside was nice
and squeaky.

After devouring an entire Chicken Pot
Pie by himself, and munching away
on Buffalo Wings, he announced that
he was still hungry. At the age of 15,
I guess it was that time of the growing
process! Anyways back to the food.
He decided to go with the Hot Dog (3.5/5)
which was hidden over a mountain of
fries. It also came with a mini side of Chili
which was on the saltier side. The hot dog
was juicy and the bun was nice and soft.
The fries were the highlight in my opinion.
These were super crispy and still piping
hot. They tasted so much like Mcdonald's
fries but even better in my opinion. Step it up
Mcdonald's.


Since we all still had room for dessert,
we got a Brownie Cheesecake (3/5) to share.
Topped with a dollop of whipped cream,
the Cheesecake itself was just average.
The Brownie, like I've said before
in my other posts was just not good here
on the ship. Maybe it was due to the
fact I just didn't like the sweetness of it.
The Cheesecake was slighty sweet and smooth
and it did compliment the brownie well.
I did enjoy the addition of the Marshmallows
in Caramel sauce though.


O'Sheehan's definitely exceeded my expectations this cruise and I love how they have something for everyone. Although they
were understaffed most of the time, the food was great and made our week
here very enjoyable.
