This review is for Sazuki Sushi Bar, Drummoyne NSW

Very fresh Sushi especially the seafood no matter what time you visited, and the staffs are always very courteous although busy in front of the sushi-making platform. I just learned recently that they also have some meal & hot food to order. Great take-away point. Slightly expensive compare to other sushi bars, but their freshness certainly worth it. Their rice is excellent too!

Approximate cost: $6-15

I went there twice, there's a TV on the ceiling so you don't get bored but it doesn't real help reducing my nervousness of what the doctor is doing to my tooth. The doctors were professionally presented but there is something about their attitude. They seemed a bit pushy and rushed to ask you to make a decision about your teeth treatment: "this need to be fixed and this and that ones you need to get an x-ray done..." maybe it's a personal thing, i preferred family-style doctor. The receptionists are quite pleasant and bookings are usually easy.

This review is for Dr John McGowan Dental Surgeon, Drummoyne NSW

The family-like small clinic offered a home doctor warmth. Dr. McGowan is kind and patient, which makes dental visit less nervous (although he can be quite talktive sometimes). As there is only him, the booking can be quite full sometimes. Complex X-ray has to be made outside the clinic.

Because we never tried nepalese before we were having high expectation and curiosity. We ordered spicy chicken and grilled chicken, but both were not very impressive. The chicken were very dry. The atmosphere is quite nice though, but as it's small, the noisy of people speaking around can be a little disturbing.

fantastic Japanese +western fusion, top quality. We ordered the banquets and we were all very full at the end! There's an very cheerful Aussie staff who speaks some Japanese and wears Japanese cartoon shirt, very welcoming and made good recommendations. Our favorite dish is the cheese eggplant, the coffee sake is very special and the scallop melts your mouth. It's a little expensive, but quality food and great ambience worth the value.

Approximate cost: $30-50

I love the classical ambiance of the bar. They offer a wide range of home-style and modern food, great wine and warm feeling. Live music makes you feel relaxed and cheerful, a great and uncomplex bar in Sydney.

This review is for Paolo's Pizzeria Restaurant, Drummoyne NSW

We ordered take-aways of pasta and pizzas a few times but were not so impressed with their food. Not sure if it's because the food turned slightly colder or something that affects the flavor. The food took long to make and the waitress was not very attentive. Not worthwhile for the price and waiting.

Approximate cost: $15-18

This review is for AJ's Espresso, Drummoyne NSW

This cafe is strangely popular for what it has to offer. Both the taste of their food and coffee are poor, I guess it's because of its convenient location plus there's not much choice in the area because the popular ones are often packed. I gave it three tries to be fair, but every time the food and drinks are disappointing. Might only be good for a morning rush.

Approximate cost: $8-12

This review is for Strudel Baron Cafe, Drummoyne NSW

A nice little pastry cafe offering warm morning and afternoon snacks. Sweet pastries like tarts or rhubarb/apple pie are tasty, but meat pies (a bit salty) and salad are just average. What I like is its cozy feelings, you can often spot elderly people or couples enjoy their cup of coffee or afternoon snacks and reading a newspaper in the little shop. Their coffee is also good.

Approximate cost: $7

This review is for Cho Dumplings, Haymarket NSW

True Taiwanese delicacy compared to other so-called Taiwanese shops in China town. Remember to top up for a black or green tea for an extra $1. Can be busy and cramped so be prepared or order take-away. You cannot sit there and chat for long, but a good place for valued dining. The salty deep fried chicken is a darling to many Taiwanese-born.

Approximate cost: $8-10
