If you're searching for a true taste of the sea in Sandakan, look no further than Ocean King Seafood Restaurant. Nestled within the vibrant Bandar Utama IJM, this Chinese restaurant stands out for its commitment to serving only the freshest seafood, beautifully prepared to highlight the natural flavors of the ocean.
The atmosphere at Ocean King is inviting and spacious, making it the perfect destination for everything from a cozy dinner date to a bustling business meeting. Reviews from patrons like Abu Bakar Muhammad Fadhil describe it as a place that exudes great ambiance and top-notch service, confirming that every dining experience is marked by a commitment to quality.
One dish that has won the hearts (and palates) of many is their Sea Prawn Yee Mee Wat Tan Hoo, known for its vibrant flavors and generous portions—though some customers suggest ordering for a larger group to fully enjoy its delights. Customers like Wei Mei Yee and Shick Kim Loong rave about the fresh prawn Yee Mee, indicating it’s a must-try, especially for seafood enthusiasts.

However, be aware that this dining experience comes at a price, as some diners have mentioned that Ocean King's menu leans toward the higher end of the spectrum. Nonetheless, many agree that the quality and freshness of the food justify the expense—a sentiment echoed by Ken Wong, who applauds the restaurant for its well-rounded dining experience and exceptional service.
