This review is for Inside Out Restaurant & Bar, Parramatta NSW

verified email - 19 May 2011

The service was good, the venue was not bad, unfortunately we thought the food wasn't all that great and extremely overpriced for what they are. There was a steak dish with lobster but the lobster was way over cooked and tough and just not really worth the extra money. We also thought the dessert sounded good - until we discovered the penna cotta as part of the platter was in fact off - it even looked off and was surprised that the chef didn't notice it before serving! The rest of the dessert wasn't the best either... No compensation was offered... however we noticed that they did take the item out of the platter so I guess our feedback benefited other diners.

Approximate cost: $28

Fantastic. The place is always full, but the staff are always ready to help, no matter how busy they are. They are friendly and can recommend wines and dishes to your taste. The rocket and pear salad was really nice and so was our pizza. overall it was a great dining experience and really not extremely expensive!

This review is for Mamak Village, Glebe NSW

I love Malaysian food and this place has some good 'hawker' style food for a reasonable price in Sydney. I love their Roti range, and is a better value than Mamak's in the city. Their fried noodles range are also really good and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately for some Malays, they are not halal.

This review is for Best Western Beachfront At Bicheno, Bicheno TAS

verified email - 19 May 2011

Just very slightly away from the main strip of Bicheno (which is at the most, a 5 mins walk) and have big and comfortable rooms. There is a pool and a restaurant, but the restaurant is really expensive. It's better to just eat at the local cafe or at the tavern connected to the motel. Price is good for its location, right opposite the water, and there is a good value in-room dining breakfast for $12 for a bacon and eggs dish.

Approximate cost: $150

This review is for Tokyo & Seoul Japanese Restaurant, Sandy Bay TAS

verified email - 19 May 2011

Good value. They have this all you can eat sushi buffet for $18 per person. Even if you don't want the sushi there are other hot food options available. Quality of the food is not the best but considering it's a budget option for Japanese cuisine you can't really complain. Unfortunately, while the staff are friendly, there is usually only one girl that serves so sometimes it may be a while before you can get her attention.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Harbour Lights Cafe, Hobart TAS

It's a cute little cafe on the waterfront of Hobart. We had breakfast there with coffee. The coffee wasn't too bad but the breakfast was expensive and it wasn't anything too special. It wasn't bad, just didn't worth the $15 we paid for (just for bacon and eggs!).

This review is for Maki Maki, Ultimo NSW

It's not for those who are very serious about their Japanese cuisine, however very young and modern and very good value! The sushi rolls have a modern twist but very nice nevertheless, and they have these really good combos for $10 or $15 that has a main dish with a roll of sushi. It's perfect for a friends get together for lunch or dinner, but as I said not for those looking for a serious sushi experience.

This review is for All Ways Be.You.tiful, Sydney NSW

Gabrielle was professional and brilliant. She is friendly and makes the treatment sessions relaxed and comfortable.
I had an one hour massage and an one hour facial. It was so good. The best thing is, while she comes to your home, the price is very good.
Great service, convenient (what's more convenient than home?) and well priced. Highly recommended.

This review is for Sushi Arigato, Eastwood NSW

verified email - 24 Jan 2011

At first glance this little place has great meal options at great prices. However, staff are not the most happy/friendly bunch. Not sure if it was because she didn't understand my request, but when I asked for a plate of deep fried prawns (from the Sushi belt) to be re-fried so it's not cold, the staff just looked at me blankly. It took a bit of an effort to get her to take the plate back to the kitchen.
Sushi belt is reasonable, with discounted prices for lunch during weekdays. However I wouldn't put this place on the top of my favourite Japanese cafes because there is one just across from the railway station that is equally priced with better quality food!

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Tonyon Supermarket Trading Company, Eastwood NSW

verified email - 27 Dec 2010

Out of all supermarkets in Eastwood we find that Tonyon has a wider range of goods that isn't close to expiry. The shop is tiny and is so crowded it's not too pleasant to shop in, it's a quick in and out shop. However prices are good and if you need anything Asian you can generally find it here.
