Not a fine dining experience, but if you are looking for a cheap quick Thai meal, this is the place to go. Great selection of dishes. They are really reasonably priced, you can easily get lunch for two with drinks for under $20.

The service is friendly. The portion sizes are good. The meals are delicious.

It is a cafe, rather than a restaurant, so it's perfect for a quick lunch or a cheap meal. Not somewhere I would recommend for a romantic night out, but perfect for dinner with friends before heading elsewhere for the night.

Approximate cost: $10

The tired decor could do with a fresh coat of paint and new prints/pictures to freshen it up a bit, but the meals are generous and taste delicious. Service is good. It does get busy, so try to find a quite time to go.

We waited ages to be seated even though the restaurant was practically empty. After we were seated the service was good and the meals came quickly (or at least one did, the other one didn't arrive until my partner was half way through eating his).

The Pad Thai was a generous portion. I had the Lemon Chicken, and while there was a huge amount of chicken, there was a very small portion of rice. I had to ration out the rice with each mouthful to get it to last till the end.
I quite liked my dish, the chicken was lovely and crispy, but the sauce could have been more lemony. My partner said that his dish lacked taste.

The prices were more expensive than most Asian restaurants I've been to (lunch specials were $11.90, $3 for a can of drink), and they tasted OK - but not great. Wouldn't hurry back.

I like the food, but it's a tad expensive for what you get. My partner was still hungry after his steak (he only got three curly fries on his plate) and went home and ordered pizza. Not good to be hungry after paying over $70 for lunch for two people.

While I enjoyed my meal, I would be reluctant to go back. The music was turned up way too loud, and as a result, people had to speak loudly to be heard. Even with the restaurant only 1/4 full, it was so noisy that I had a headache by the time I left (and I rarely get headaches).

Service was good - but not worth the noise and the $$$

Approximate cost: $35

Liz Phillips makes you feel immediately at ease, which is so important when it comes to hypnotherapy. To me, it's just like therapy, only a lot quicker as you get to go straight to the source of your current behaviour. You get to go back to the moment/incident in your life when you started thinking the way you think, or behaving the way you behave. Only you get to see the same scene through adult eyes (rather than from a child's perspective). If you need to, you can confront the person from your past (from the safety of a therapist's chair) or sometimes just seeing it from a new perspective is enough to change the way you feel about it. Some of the past incidents I have gone back to, I don't know if they are remembered or imagined. It doesn't matter. It lets me deal with the parts of me I wish I could change. Real or imagined, all I know is that when difficulties come up in my life, things that used to worry/stress me at a level of about 80 out of 100, now I worry about 20/100, and that in itself is amazing. And if you are really adventurous, you can even pop back into past lives. I would thoroughly recommend Liz Phillips, I am a much calmer person because of her.

We've had them out to the house a number of times. Once they made a mistake with the size of the fly screens, took them back, fixed them up and refitted them in no time. Very impressed with the service. Great value too. Each time they come out, the charge is much less than we expected to pay. They are friendly and polite, and have even given us advice over the phone so that we could fix a problem ourselves.

Great food, but everybody knows how good it is, so it can get very busy and crowded. Tables are very close together, so on a busy night, you are almost sharing your table with the people next to you. We now get take away or go on a week night.

Approximate cost: $14.00

Lovely food. Generous with the meat and vegetables. Excellent service, the woman who runs the restaurant is lovely. I've eaten there many times and I've never had a bad experience. Always excellent.

Approximate cost: $15
