This review is for Don Don Japanese Restaurant, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 07 Jul 2011

There is not much on the menu, at most 8 different meals to choose from, but you will be satisfied which ever you end up choosing.

The price is one of the very best for japanese food, you can buy a meal from $6.80. Unbelievably cheap.

My favorite thing about this place is just how quickly you will receive your food. Within a minute or so of ordering you will already be sitting down to eat it.

Approximate cost: $Less than $10

This review is for Victoria University, Footscray VIC

verified email - 07 Jul 2011

Unfortunately i think that this university does not really compare with others out there.
When you think of uni most people probably think of a place that is very sociable.
Other universities that i have seen regularly have many different clubs and events for students to participate in. Victoria Uni provides a very limited amount.

The uni is quite unorganized in their course structure, something i have heard now from far too many students who have attended their as well as myself.

The parking is also almost a no go zone, if you're not there early, you can expect to find it quite hard to find a park space, even though the area is actually really big.

This review is for The Pancake Parlour, Doncaster VIC

verified email - 07 Jul 2011

The best thing about this pancake parlor compared with the others is that it is 24 hours. Surprisingly even late in the night, there is always quite a few people there. The price of the food is quite overpriced but sometimes you can't resist as the taste of the food as well as the quality and presentation is A+.

Approximate cost: $19 for 2 pancakes

This review is for Bikram Yoga, Glen Waverley VIC

verified email - 07 Jul 2011

As soon as i discovered this place and started doing yoga here i instantly fell in love with it.
I do warn however, it's not for the faint of heart. Temperatures are quite high up to 40 degrees and although the room is large it is still quite cramped due to the high numbers of people who attend.
The instructors carefully observe you to let you know if you are doing well or what to improve on, they even remember your name.
A great place to get started and keep motivated.

Approximate cost: $1 casual class is $19

This review is for Airstream Cafe, Glen Waverley VIC

verified email - 07 Jul 2011

The restaurant is quite big, with a spacious area inside and a reasonably large balcony area outside.

Wide variety of foods to choose from the menu, some are bit over priced though.

We ordered a piece of cake, which was already made, just needed to be cut and it took over 20 minutes to receive it.

We also ordered a few coffees and they all came out less than warm and needed reheating, in which they then came out much too hot.

Nice atmosphere but staff need to be more organized and work a bit faster.

Approximate cost: $approx $18

This review is for MySkin Laser Clinics, Malvern VIC

verified email - 07 Jul 2011

I have come here for a few sessions already for some laser hair removal.
Each time staff have been friendly and bubbly, instantly making me feel more comfortable and at ease.
The procedure itself is painless as the clinic has a top of the line machine which gives off a cooling effect so there is virtually no pain at all.

Prices of the services are about the same as you would find in most hair removal places.

The clinic however has many offers available all the time and sometimes they offer half price sessions when there is a last minute cancellation, which can help save alot!

Approximate cost: $for lower legs it's $273 a session, all other areas are covered in website pricelist

This review is for Fantastic Home & Gifts, Mulgrave VIC

Found these guys a few days ago while looking for some craft supplies to make baby shower invitations. I was astounded by the variety of craft that they had. There were items i had never seen in any other shop before so i was pleasantly delighted. There was also a lot of nice toys and decor for children at a very affordable price, and these items did not look cheap either, so i would feel quite comfortable buying them as presents.

They sold other household items that you usually find in these type of $2 dollar stores, the items were cheap but they did not look cheap at all, which is a plus.

Con: Minimum $10 eftpos

Approximate cost: $can find most items to be $50 and less

This review is for Re-Creation Health Club, Essendon VIC

verified email - 07 Jul 2011

Bought a deal package where it was a 3 month gym membership for only $29. Re-creation is always having different offer available, currently they are offering pay 3 months and get 3 months free.

The gym itself seems a bit small when you walk in but there are a good range of facilities. There is a weights room and cycling room upstairs. Downstairs there are all the cardio type equipment such as treadmills, stair master, bikes, etc. There is also a unisex sauna and spa.
There are many different types of classes also available to take up such as yoga, zumba, body pump, spin, fighting fit, etc.

It is a little pricier than other gyms out there.

Approximate cost: $32 a fortnight

This review is for Taste Design, Mulgrave VIC

This place is so big and has so much to look at. You could be in this store for over an hour searching through all the clothes.
There are lots of clothes, many are club wear but you can also find casual looking clothes. The clothes are a bit unique at times also, not what you would find in other stores.
I find it a bit frustrating however that none of the clothes have price tags so you have to constantly be asking staff how much items cost.
The clothes are affordable and good value.

Approximate cost: $approx $70 and under

This review is for Magical Hair And Nails, Springvale VIC

verified email - 07 Jul 2011

This is where i go to get my hair done when i am in a rush. The service is quite quick depending on what you want to get done, sometimes there are up to two staff working on you at once. Tina the main hairdresser is very experienced and honest in recommending suitable hairstyles and colours for your hair.
The price for what you get is also great, it's not professional but you would usually pay up to 2 or 3 times more somewhere else than here.

Approximate cost: $varies depending on what you want done, i have never paid more than $90 though
