Most of the time, it offers great deals, especially within the week of booking. However, there are times that we get cheaper rate when we actually call into that hotel. I still do recommend WotIf, as it surely give us free booking (a phone call cost 30cents!).

Been with Netspace for the last 7 years, and still thinks it is very bargain. Packages are very flexible, and they keep their promising speed! Although their customer service line is busy when you need them, but in reality, I only need to call them once a year (or may be not).

The Mix n Match of the new Japanese cusine makes this cosy place a wonderful experience. The Omakase is surely highly recommended. Owner Hiro and Chef Yuki bringing Japanese's Sushi into a new level of experience. New and daring combination makes your appetite to hungry even at the end of the night! The Beef Sushi, Deep Fry White Bait Sushi, BB Sauces Oyster Sushi, PanFry Tuna Sushi..... You have to try to believe it.

Love the decor and atmostphere. Open style bar makes you keep ordering your tapas + fruit drink's'. I couldn't highlight a particular dish, as most of the dishes were worth a try! As previous person said, it is hard to get booking (especially if you have 6 or more). So book it well in adance!

This could be a hidden gem in South Yarra. The Raw Prawn with garlic / fish sauces was fantastic (if you are dare enough to try raw prawn). I believe you have to let them know in advance, so they could get fresh prawn in. Pork Neck is also a nice dish to accompanying your drinks. We haven't try much dishes, so couldn't say much at all. But we will be back for MORe!

Top quality food but over priced.
The sashimi platter was truely amazingly fresh. With the tuna belly absolutely melt in your mouth, you can't ask for more. But the price for that is $230 for less than 25 pieces, I guess one taste is enough. Don't get me wrong, the atmosphere, is very exclusive, and the waiting staff are all very professionally tailor to your need. And KoKo will suit any business deal or a good chat over the table. As it is very peaceful and not as noisy as Nobu.
A few recommendations are Fish Head, Fresh Sashimi, Rice IceCream.

We enjoy this Pacific in Ricmond, more than the one in S.Yarra. It is very similar to how it is in Hong Kong. The style, the decor, the food menu on the wall, the way the waiting staff serve you (which is just minimum service). But who cares, the food is fabulous! For the $ you paid for, it is far more worth than having a proper meal in Crown! XO PiPi (with Chinese bun to dip the sauces), Roast Duck, Chicken Feet with Mustard sauces.... You name it!

Absolutely a Bargain!
Once you walked in, it is another world. It was packed, table everywhere, shoulder touching dining experience. The Golden prawn was wonderfully deep fried with egg yolk. BBQ Duck served just at the right temperture. The Siu Yuk (BBQ Pork with Crisspy Skin) was wordless, skin taste so nice (despite the fat contents). It surely a wonderful experience, and I do encourage a try.

As previous rater said, it is all about duck. And it is a non-boring way to have duck in so many choices. Soup, noodle, wrap, and even just bite the bone when the owner finish crafing it! And yes, the owner is just putting on funny show! "put your spring onion on the 3 o'clock, duck on the six, and sauces on the nine" hahaha Wonderful!

Needless to say, this fantastic ChocChoc place is just a place you can hang around in for one full day! I must admit some of the items are slightly pricy. But hey, there isn't much of this concept around town back in the 90s! Service staff was excellent, young and friendly.
