This review is for New Shanghai Chinese Restaurant, Ashfield NSW

This place has recently done a renovation so my partner and I decided to come here for dinner the other night. Even though the place look fabulous now, the service and the food here is still average.
Ashfield has a lot of Asian food. I wouldn't rate this one as one of the best tasting, instead I would rate it as one of the better looking ones. The dumplings here are still very oily and the staff looked like they didn't want to be there. Still a lot of room for improvement.

This review is for Sky Mountain Hand Made Noodle Restaurant, Ashfield NSW

verified email - 03 Feb 2014

This is authentic northern Chinese food at its best. Love their lamb skewers. It was $12 for 3 skewers of lamb. The way the BBQ lamb smells makes you feel like your in the outback sitting next to the camp fire. They can make it spicy or non spicy which is good for us.
We also order some hand made noodles. The noodles were all different shaped and sizes which made the presentation look sloppy but the taste was fantastic.

Their menu is all pictures so all I had to do was to point to the picture whilst ordering. Staff there don't speak English at all. Food is a double thumbs up for me :)

Atmosphere average, location is average since it is a fair walk from the station. However if you are driving there are is street parking on the side streets

Little German town in the middle of Adelaide. Nice and touristy with taste food. I ordered a 1 liter beer, after I finished I could barely walk. The food portions here are massive so make sure you go with someone that can stomach the food. I was pretty much done when I was half way through my beer. Could barely fit anymore food in. The food and beer is pricey but consider the atmosphere and the friendly staff, once in a while doesn't hurt :)

This review is for Thai-Riffic, Newtown NSW

Tasty authentic Thai food is hard to come across these days. There are many restaurant that say that they can cook Thai, but when it comes down to it the taste is complete off.
The food here is always consistent, the waiting time for the food is always decent. It can get really squashy on the weekends and its usually very loud. Great food though!!

The food here is pretty good however it is pretty expensive. During lunch there are specials which makes it more affordable. However I do like the duck curry there, its one of the best I have tasted so I sometimes just pay the high price.

Overall I would definitely go there again. The lights are dim so the atmosphere is pretty romantic for a date. It can get busy on the weekends which means you definitely have to make a booking before rocking up.
Worth a try :)

This review is for Rib And Pizza Runner, Revesby NSW

Ribs has always been a favorite for me at this place. I've never been to the actual restaurant, only ever order through Menulog. They are quick and speedy to deliver and I always get good customer service from the delivery man. Well recommended.
Next time I'll give the pizza a try.

This review is for New Harmony Chinese Restaurant, Greenacre NSW

The Chinese food that this place provide is quite nice, its not full authentic but its not catered towards Caucasians either. I've never been to the actual restaurant I've only ever order through Menulog. On Menulog they have always had the option of paying with a credit card. I've order from them twice only. Both time when I told them I paid with a credit card through menulog they have always told me that their preferred method of payment was cash. I was a little taken back because the driver was rude. Nevertheless I order from them the second time hoping that if it was the same driver he would have spoken to an employee that might know a little more about Menulog. Same thing happened. Got told that they wanted to get paid in cash. Hence never order from them again. I always give a place 2 chances if it was just potentially a misunderstanding on some policies and procedures. Will not be going back there again. Perhaps they should remove the option to pay with credit through Menulog. That would make their life easier and the clients too.
This restaurant is also on the expensive end. It is tasty though so worth a try, but remember to pay with cash only~~

This review is for Zahid Restaurant Pakistani Indian Food, Bankstown NSW

verified email - 02 Feb 2014

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the local area. They've only been opened for approx 2 years but the first time I try their food it was from Menulog. I order the food expecting it to arrive in 45 mins, instead it arrived in 30 mins so I was impressed. I decided the next time to actually go into their restaurant and have the food there too see what the atmosphere was like. It was clean, nice and tidy. Average looking shop in Bankstown. I did like the fact how they had buffet lunch which cost $15 per person and there was over 8 types of chicken not include tandoori chicken available. The staff member that serve me was extremely patient because my partner and I was asking about the ingredients in also every single one of the curry.
Highly recommended!! They can also cook to suit your style, you can always ask for more meat or sauce or less oil and they will obliged. Check it out guys!!!

This review is for House Of Kebabs, Bankstown NSW

I've been coming to this place for years initially they were nice and good value for money. In the past few months I've noticed my kebab has shrunk in size and the topping my pizza has been reduced. Now all I can taste on my pizza is cheese, cheese and more cheese. Considering a few new pizza places has open up close by like Mr Dough, I would have thought they would up their game or at least keep up the standard. It has been disappointing these past few months. I don't think I would be going back anytime soon.

This review is for Avalon Nail & Beauty, Bankstown NSW

This is one of the only shops I would trust to do my nails. The designs here are modern and very bling.
When looking at the shop on the outside you don't expect much. Its rather small, not fancy and only a few tables. However because their a small business they actually take the time to get to know their clients and ask them about their day. I didn't feel like a dollar sign that just walked in the door. I feel extremely appreciated and valued as a customer.
Prices there are reasonable. Not super cheap but on the cheaper end. Definitely be going back there again to redo my nails again.
