The menu provides a lot of choices but it would be good if they provided a brief explanation of what each drink essentially is. The prices weren't clear either although it was very affordable. Small drinks cost 3.30 and addition of Jelly or Pearls costs 50 cents. Larger sizes are available

The service wasn't good. I went up to the front of the shop and it was the wrong area to get served. One of the workers simply pointed which way I have to go to be served while sipping her drink.. The lady who took my order was playing with her phone. I had to wait a minute or so before she was ready to serve me.

Despite the horrendous service, the drink was very sweet and tasty. The addition of Jelly improves the experience.

Approximate cost: $3.30

This review is for BAGELICIOUS, Elsternwick VIC

The shop is quite small but it's very trendy. Instead of using numbers for each table, they used letters which are from the word 'Bagelicious' which I thought was a very original idea.

The food was very good quality and tasted sensational, however, it was dramatically overpriced. Simply adding cheese to a bagel costs 6 dollars. There is a wide range of bagels to choose from with ranging prices. From the plain bagel costing $1 to the Egg and Cheese Bagel costing $1.90.

I like how they sell sweet bagels too, like fruit and chocolate.

Approximate cost: $12.00

Pink Ginger is probably one of the most unique Japanese Cafes that I've ever seen or been to. The staff are very friendly and offer free green tea if you're eating in! The food is very cheap compared to most places. The taste is better than other places too though, so its great value for money! The udon noodle soups are amazing! The meat they use is of highest quality and is very tender. They also offer healthy options like selling brown rice sushi as well as white rice sushi. I recommend this place highly!

Approximate cost: $8.00

This review is for Mizu Japanese Restaurant, Prahran VIC

I tried the Chicken Udon noodle soup and the gyoza (pan fried dumplings). The Chicken udon was absolutely amazing! It had real pieces of roast chicken sitting in a strongly-flavoured miso broth with udon noodles. Theflavour was unique. The meat-filled gyoza was also very tasty. It had different textures rather than being very finely minced. It came with a dipping sauce which was very tangy but suited the dish.

Approximate cost: $10.00
