Use to be a frequent eater at Don dons as I really enjoyed their flavour and also for the value. Each dish only cost around $7-8. However I stopped going after once discovering a dead beetle in my soup half way through eating it. When I spoke to them about the issue they were quick to apologise and asked whether I wanted a refund or another soup. I was very surprised when they did nothing about the broth and soup they were serving the Niku Udon in which had the beetle cooking in there, I didn't address the issue any further as I was on my break from work and needed to get back. As much as I would like to go back for the flavours and value, I don't think I could because of that once incident.

Approximate cost: $7-$10

Best view I have had of Melbourne from above, it gives you a great over few of everything arounds it and even very further out. Everything seems so miniature from up there it's kind of peaceful in a way. Make sure you chew gum or just pretend to chew whilst going on the lifts are they can get very quick and your ears my pop. Other than that it's a great experience if you want to have a good look of Melbourne.

Come here quite often when I feel like their dry noodles with steamed chicken or one of their chicken laksa. I would not recommend coming here if you're in for a quick meal, orders usually take around 10-15 minutes to reach the table after ordering. The service is satisfactory, some staff members are pretty thorough whilst others are not. There have been a few times where I have had to ask for water multiple times before I received it.

Something I do like is their ordering system. No one is there pressuring you to be ready to order and you give them order when you're ready.

Approximate cost: $10-15

Great place to try a little bit of various kinds of dishes. The ambience of the restaurant was great, they had a live pianist playing upstairs which was nice. In terms of value for money, if you just had seafood it would be worth it, otherwise you may be better off going to somewhere more specific if you know what you want to eat and it's not seafood. They had a great range of food and dessert.

Approximate cost: $59

Was able to go with a group from uni which made it really cheap. This place was so calm and relaxing, I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. It's a great place to take some time off and rejuvenate.

This review is for JaTamer Driving School, Thomastown VIC

I would not recommend Jatamer driving school for those who like to stick to a schedule and not have their plans changed last minute multiple times.

I decided to choose Aza because of the overwhelming positive response I have read here on Womo. Being confident, I made the decision to purchase a package with her which requires a full upfront payment. Despite my confidence and the positive responses here on Womo, I was very disappointed with the level of service Aza provided. The lessons were fine once it commenced, but Aza made scheduling and communicating difficult due to her tardy response time.

Here are some examples
- Continuous rescheduling the day before the lesson, I twice confirmed 3 lessons with her before my test 2 weeks ahead of time letting her know my schedule was starting to pick up and she rescheduled them the night before into 2 x 1.5 hour lessons instead of the 3 x 1 hour lessons I had planned initially, I had no choice but to accept because of such short notice.
- Lack of responsiveness until she needs to communicate with you, not responding to questions which were time sensitive until the last minute (these were questions which could have been answered ahead of time), giving me no room to make a alternative ahead of time.
- The talk is good but delivery is poor, I was told (after rescheduling) that she would be able to take me through all the routes within my testing area because the lessons were longer, but few days later she told me they were 45 - 60 minutes, making them virtually impossible to complete in the 3 hours of lessons i had left.

Because of her poor organisational skills I was left frustrated and without an instructor 3 working days away from my driving test. To add on top I was charged a $50 fee to cancel my package because of her lack of timeliness and responsiveness.

The experience I imagined and the actual experience I had could not be further apart. For those who are considering using JaTamers, I would recommend buying one off classes before committing completely. Had I not have paid upfront for the whole bundle, I believe Aza may have treated me differently.
