I've been a member for maybe 6-9 months. Unfortunately I am never within the range of people they are looking for. I don't hold this against the company. But as a mid-20's female it's a pain that I am never within the type of people they are looking for.

I don't doubt that this is a trust-worthy reputable company and site. It's only going to pay off if you are smack bang within their target group though.

This review is for ultra tune, Hurstville NSW

So unimpressed. We used to take our car here because my mother's work car is with Ultra Tune. Last time I got charged $698 to replace the radiator, cracked hose, blown radiate temperature gauge, not 2 months later, and I have to call our NRMA because I can't get to work without my car overheating.
NRMA tells me they haven't replaced the hose, simply cut off the bit that was split and shoved it back on (oh but they did put on new clamps - bully for them - so glad I paid for 2 people's worth of labour to NOT do what I paid them for).
It's a piece of rubber hose, how hard can it possibly for a mechanic to do what you're paying them to do?
Nice enough to your face but no doubt they've been ripping us off for a few years now. Steer clear.

Takeaway from here is a always a go-to for us. We fall into the area for free delivery. On occasion it has taken a ridiculous amount of time to receive our order but I must admit, the last 5+ times, timing has been exceptional and as always, so was the pizza. Honestly the last time we ordered pizza and I think it was a Friday or Saturday night and we got it in about 25m. Unheard of!

We've also been there (usually the whole family - 7 or so) and I have to say I Love what they've done with the inside, the decorations are just great and so fitting! But I have to admit it is a fairly small place, and on occasion the layout of tables has left something to be desired, But I'm there for the food not the table set up so it bothers me not!

Approximate cost: $23

This review is for Roma Pizza Italian Restaurant, South Hurstville NSW

The food is great, though not an over extensive menu. But personally I do prefer that in an establishment. Without a doubt this is a great place to get takeaway from.
However if you are considering a dinner in the venue, anyone who may find some difficulty with hearing when there is a lot of noise going on around you this probably is not the ideal venue for you,
But I love it because its dark and cosy, and should you get a time or evening when there is no large family with many children all...being kids... then it can also be a really great romantic restaurant.
The staff are always great, I honestly don't think I have ever had anything but excellent service!

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Nara Lounge, Hurstville NSW

Most of the dining area seems to be seated in a "smoking section" (they offer nargila) I assume one is allowed to smoke cigarettes as well but I didn't see anyone doing so. It didn't bother me at all, I quite enjoyed the atmosphere of that setting - short of the televisions. They had two set up in this area that I could see from my seat (no sound but had teletext on) which I found very poor. Half the people at the tables were staring mindlessly at these tvs. It was so disappointing because they have done the place up really nicely given the location and the setting is great. Except for these damn tvs.

But more importantly - the food! Not exactly cheap but the portions are more than enough (I'm preferable to places that have less massive portions but this is great for sharing).

Our group got the $45 per head banquet option (also offers a $55 p/h) we got 5 of these for 7 people - 5 of which are boys who can eat - and couldn't finish it all.

The food was delicious, especially the meat, so tasty and the chicken was tender and perfectly cooked!The food was fantastic! The servers were extremely polite, though a few it was clear it was probably their first ever job, a few things to get on top of but they did a really good job.

All in all, if you can ignore the televisions, its a great venue for a group to come and share some fantastic food.

Approximate cost: $21.5

This review is for Valued Opinions, Dawes Point NSW

I have been a member for 8 months now.
After doing many many surveys I have received $105 dollars worth of various gift cards of my choosing.
It's no rush to millions but if you've time to spare, and you'd be wasting it on the internet anyway it's a good time killer that results in a little income.
By far this site, I've found, has a good mix of short to medium length surveys and very few long, time taxing ones. But all in all its better than most. I got the same survey on this site and on ipoll. Valuedopinions offered $8 for it, ipoll was offering $3.
That being said not everyone will qualify for all surveys and its no get rich quick scheme. You won't be getting rich. But it helps knock $20 off a shopping trip

This review is for Crust Gourmet Pizza Bar, Mortdale NSW

verified email - 18 Feb 2015

We usually just get takeaway, and I have to say overall they are usually quicker than the time quoted over the phone (though this is usually a 40 min wait) but the pizza has been consistently good. Last time I got the pulled pork and 'slaw pizza, and omg, so delicious! The prices are no bargain but it beats its counterparts in takeaway pizza for sure!

Approximate cost: $22

This review is for Rhinedorf German Restaurant, Beverly Hills NSW

verified email - 17 Feb 2015

Love this place! If you're not sure if you like German food then this restaurant is a must! I love it's set up and the staff's uniforms. And the food is fantastic. The pork knuckle is definitely one to try - I personally love sauerkraut but it's certainly not for everyone. If you're wanting to stay local but try something different, give this little German hideaway a go! They have a fairly impressive range of German beers as well!

The general floor layout and quality of furniture is pretty basic but I really don't think it's an issue when the food is so good! For an entree we chose to share the figs on the specials menu and they were amazingly delicious! The glaze they used was complimentary to all ingredients and mouth watering and (I'm sure it would have been prosciutto but I'm not 100%) was cooked so well, delightfully crisp. And the menu has a great array of choices. I certainly advise if you're after some truly delightful dishes.

I have to say typically the burgers here are better than most. Bit fall apart-y but thats usually because I've ordered too many toppings. If you live nearby then definitely give them a go because I can't say anything bad about the place. Tasty burgers that I feel a bit more goes into than your average burger or chicken shop.
