Good for take away as it is not really a nice place to sit in and eat. More set up for take away. Nice burritos with rice and steak. Perfect for lunch. Standard size is almost $10 and full size is around $13. Would go back again for take away lunch.

Approximate cost: $12

Good little place for lunch. They are open for dinner but have not gone here for dinner myself as seems more like a take away or lunch restaurant. They have a full range of Japanese food. Not a fan of their sushi as it does not taste as nice as others but the pork gyoza, dim sims and spring rolls are very good. You can get 8 gyozas for $8 and they taste good. I have also had the make your own noodle box which was pretty good with nice fresh veggies. Will continue to go back for gyoza here.

Based on the take away, it was nice. I did find them the most expensive Indian restaurant yet but only by a little bit. We paid around $41 for take out and got 2 rice, 2 meals, samosa and naan bread.They do have a deal for an extra $5 which included a few more things which would be better value. Samosa and both meals were great and meat was nice and soft. The naan bread was a bit disappointing as it did not taste as garlic at all and just looked like a yellow paste they used. Overall it was good but not enough to make me pick this one over some others. Still would be happy to eat here though.

New favourite Indian restaurant in Geelong. Nice little restaurant with a good atmosphere. Ordered the garlic naan, rice, rogan josh which was all the best I have to this date. They give you some free minty yogurt dip to start if you are eating in. It is a BYO wine only place. Main were around $14 each which is on par with all other Indian restaurants. I will go back again and would recommend anyone to try it.

This is a nice little restaurant. It is a Japanese restaurant but guess it is like a more traditional version of hi-sushi. We had the gyoza which was really good and you get 6 for just under $7. Also had the Niku Udon(beef with noodles) and also the beef with rice and both were good. Have only been there once but so far most enjoyable Japanese Resturant in Geelong that I have been to. Cheap and friendly staff.

This review is for Parkview Hotel, Melbourne VIC

We stayed at this hotel as we received a discount price with parking and late check out. It was really worth the price we paid but I think the normal rate is pretty expensive. The hotel staff were very friendly and a great help. As it is on St Kilda road it is a few minutes one tram ride away from federation square and main shopping areas. Hotel room was very nice with lots of space and so was the bathroom. The only small thing was the bed was a tiny bit uncomfortable as you keep rolling into the middle. Buffet breakfast was also nice. I would stay here again for sure.

Best springs rolls, they are very good. Always have to start with some roti bread as well. Very nice food but more expensive and slightly less tasty then my favourite Geelong place. You can BYO which most do and a decent size restaurant so easy to get a table. Service is usually good but i have had some nights here where is it very slow.They also do take away.

Approximate cost: $21

One of the best Thai places in Geelong. A small little restaurant with really good Thai food. Very good prices. Favourites are the chicken satay skewers, pad Thai and spring rolls. Large servings. Very friendly service. Continue to go back here as it tastes great and is good value.

Went here just for dessert so my comments are only on the dessert side but I will have to try their main meals next time. We ordered the spanish donuts. it cost $9 for 2 with dipping sause and a strawberry. The donuts were good but the chocolate sause was not the best i have had but still okay. Fairly average Spanish donuts that you can get anywhere so with the price coming into it, it is a bit expensive.We also got an affogato which again but good but not quite wow. Would love to hear what others think of their meals before I try it.

This review is for Pizza Bar, Geelong West VIC

Great place to catch up with friends and have a pizza and drink. Great atmosphere although it does bit a bit noisy on the bar side so hard to hear when you are trying to eat dinner.They do have another side which is just the restaurant. Good cocktails and nice pizza. The pulled pork pizza is a good choice. Best to book for dinner as it is not a big place and gets busy on the weekend. I would go back again.
