This review is for Sofia Restaurant, Berwick VIC

All around a fairly average Italian restaurant. The pastas are pretty good, usually quite tasty, though I've not had much luck with the pizzas which seem to use too much ham and not enough quality ingredients.

I used to think Sofia's weren't as good as their obvious competitor, but that competitor hasn't been very good recently either, so about the same. Disappointing, as they could try and replicate the American model of chain restaurants and do very well, but it seems the're not quite enthusiastic enough for that.

Really only recommended for a family or group needing a "no-think" place to meet up that isn't too expensive, will take kids (and give them crayons!), and not be too much fuss.

Fantastic. I've gone here several times with workmates for lunch. The food comes out quickly, streaming hot, tasty, and very cheap!

Truly an excellent value lunch, proper Chinese cuisine, perfect for sharing around.

The place is always very busy so you will have to call first to book.

The only thing I did'nt like was the fish tank, they should take better care of their fish!

This review is for Pc Case Gear, Mulgrave VIC

What makes this PC store stand out? 1) Range. 2) Prices.

The range it offers for the more enthusiastic pc gamer/modder is better than most, and the prices are usually the same or just slightly higher than competition.

There is no traditional "retail store" with products on display, just a desk where you order.

The business model is a little different than most. They are primarily an online business (delivery) but they do offer pickup for orders made online, and many people do this. Additionally, if you need to you can rock up and place your order on the computer there, and then give the staff your order number. Strange, but it works.

Highly recommended, one of the best in the South East.

This review is for Pakenham Thai, Pakenham VIC

The best take-away/value Thai in Pakenham/Berwick area.

This is the Thai restaurant we get takeaway from most often. Why? Value. It is better priced than other Thai restaurants in the area, and it's fairly quick (10-15mins). While the quality/taste is perhaps lesser than others, it makes up for it with the price.

In terms of eat in, it's fine, and the service is good too, but takeaway is definitely this places speciality. I'm fairly sure the owners (or at least waiters) are Thai also.

This review is for Berwick Thai, Berwick VIC

Located on the main street through Berwick Villiage, this is easily the best Thai in town. Owned/run by Thais (unlike the competition)

Food is excellent quality, fairly consistent. Can be very busy so if your going on a Friday/Saturday night I'd definitely call to book.

Service is polite and usually prompt, though as they are popular the wait times can be a little long, so check out the wine list!

Recommended.

Want cheap pizza that tastes decent? This is your place. Fantastic value, pizzas tastes decent (but nothing special) and they're fast. Exactly the market they're aiming for.

This review is for Lime Leaf Thai Restaurant @ Lakeside, Pakenham VIC

For takeaway, this place serves what is probably the best Thai in the area (in terms of taste), though it's also the most expensive. The quality is usually very good, though it can be inconsistent.

The actual restaurant (inside) is very nice, and I'd definitely recommend eating in at this place, rather than takeaway.

Recommended.

This review is for Computers & Parts Land (CPL), Notting Hill VIC

If you know what you want, CPL is a fantastic place to buy - it has EVERYTHING you need at the CHEAPEST price.

If you don't know what you want, one of the staff members (Stephen) who usually services is EXTREMELY helpful. Probably too helpful in fact as it can get frustrating waiting while he helps a non-technical person order a whole PC and they ask everything about everything.

So please... know what you want before you come.

The bad...
Prepare to wait. A LONG time. It usually takes 5-10 minutes waiting in line, plus about 10-15 minutes to get your item after you've paid. If you have a complication (eg. realise you got the wrong item immediately as you receive it) prepare to be around here for an hour. Nothing happens quickly here.

What would make this business better?
If some of the staff wandering around would actually help out and serve!!!

This review is for Sun Dental Group, Pakenham VIC

My wife and I have been a few times now, we're quite happy to have found a good dentist, and only a few hundred meters from our house too! Dr Jade is gentle, friendly and straight talking. Pricing is good, most of my work has been totally covered by health insurance. The surgery itself is nice, all the equipment is brand new. It is a bit hard to find at first though - you have to go inside the new medical center then turn immediately right and go up the stairs. But yeah - quite impressed, we'll stick with this dentist I reckon. Definitely recommended.

Approximate cost: $0
