i have tried this place twice, once dine in which was ages ago and from memory was ok, and once quite recently take away, the service was a little rude, when u spend over a certain amount u get a free entree, u have 2 choices he wouldnt let me chose and said i had to have what they cooked, the food i ordered was a soup that was full of grease and my fried rice was burnt, i wont be returning there again, not to metion the fried rice and soup cost me over $22!!

pretty small store, they have a good selection for my jewelry making though, its the only store in penrith i can buy supplies from, prices are ok, they also have a great range of kitchen items, i pay approx $10 for 6 packs of jewelry making items like beads, pendants, clasps, etc. i also regularly buy my daughters craft items from here which i pay around $2 a piece for. i enjoy shopping in this shop as i know they will have what i want without having to shop around

i regualrly shop at this store, they have a fairly good selection of products, i particularly like their baking items, they sell alot of stuff for christenings and weddings, they can be a little pricey for a cheapy store but have items u cant find anywhere else. I have purchased cookie cutter from this shop for only $5 that sell for $30 in the cake deco shop just down the road, the staff are ok, not very friendly but not rude either, they are more interested in getting your money then the customers i think..lol but their items are well priced so u can over look that.

This review is for High Street Pies & Pastries, Penrith NSW

sorry to say, but their pies are no where near as good as they are hyped up to be, they are suppose to have the number 1 pies in sydney but in my own exprience they are no better then a no frills frozen pie. and they are really expensive, for around $3-$4 a pie they are not worth it at all, i tried their beef and mushroom and the mince in the pie is like a meat paste, YUK

Approximate cost: $4 per pie

just walking past this place makes your mouth water, its hard to walk past and not go in, the lunch special are amazing value and the food is delicious, i especially love their rice. they have a great $10 lunch special which i have purchased many times, i am not a fan of chilli or satay but they have quite afew dishes that dont have those ingedients, cant go past the clasic chicken and veges with rice, i loved it!

Approximate cost: $10pp

This review is for Rod's Hair Shoppe, Penrith NSW

this is a great saloon, prices are fair and the staff are friendly, i have had my hair done here a few times and was happy with my experience everytime, this store has been here for a long time which in itself says how good it is.. i highly recommend. It has been quite a while since i had my hair cut in this shop, but when i did i had a cut, restyle and hair straightening, i payed around $70, they did a great job, probably the best straightening job i have ever had.

Approximate cost: $70

Great buffet, very expensive though, the views are amazing, the staff ar friendly but the fact your on limited time means you cant really sit and relax and enjoy yourself, think they need to look at changing the time limit, knowing your on restricted time makes your meal really not that enjoyable, if your wanting gorgeous views then you should be happy though

This review is for French Bakery, Penrith NSW

I love this bakery, they have the BEST pork rolls in penrith, their shop is always clean and the staff are very friendly, i regularly stop in for lunch, great prices, you can buy your lunch for like $7 that includes a drink too!! their loafs of bread are only $2 and are super fresh, if there was any downside to this bakery is that when you buy their bread and rolls its amazingly fresh but doesnt stay fresh for more then about 24 hours.

the best and cheapest chemist i have been to anywhere! you will not find any product cheaper then in the chemist, the staff in there are GORGEOUS, they are all so lovely and VERY helpfull, they go above and beyond to help their customers and make the effort to get to know you, i refuse to go to any other chemist, there are eye drops that i regularly buy that are not covered by PBS and at other chemists they cost $34!!! at this chemist they are only $24! huge difference, i also receintly bought an electric hot water bottle from there for 0nly $29, $35 everywhere else! you can tell the people that work here actually do care about their customers

the BEST market i have been to ANYWHERE!! amazing bargins ad they have EVERYTHING! i try and get there at least once a month and stock up on things, the engaver there is great and the cheapest you will find anywhere, if you havnt been to these markets i suggest you give it a go, you will not regret it! coming up to christmas you will be able to get alot of bargins here and cheap chrissy gifts, there is a candle stand in these markets that i sometimes make a special trip here just to buy them, and being just across the road from the main shopiing center you can opo over and have lunch too. great day out for little money.
