This review is for Kinn Thai Resturant, Castle Hill NSW

verified email - 16 Nov 2013

We were out shopping at Castle Hill shopping centre, my partner and I decided to have a light lunch, we looked around the Castle Hill restaurant area and decided to give the "Kinn" a try. This turned out to be the best decision we have made together in ages. The atmosphere was warm and inviting when you first walked in, we were quickly seated and drinks order taken. Nothing like a quickly delivered beer to keep the customer happy. The staff were warm and attentive, there when needed. We both went for the Chilli Basil Noodle (one chicken the other prawn) The dishes arrived shortly after ordering they looked fantastic and the taste just filled the mouth with joy - The say never go to a restaurant twice because it ruins the memory - but I can't wait to go back and try something else as soon as possible.

Approximate cost: $24.00

This review is for Mumu Grill, Crows Nest NSW

verified email - 16 Oct 2013

It was my Daughters birthday so she was given choice of where to go and she picked Mumu. I called and made a booking for 7pm, sadly we were running late, so at 6.30pm called and advised them running late will be there 7.20 / 7.30 no problem I was told. Turned up at 7.30 no tables ready for us - told that we didn't think you were coming - really, what a waste of a phone call that was !! Next was the wine, yes that one is available - 5 minutes later sorry sold out of that one but we recommend a bottle that is twice the price. (No thanks you can find someone else to pay for your fancy car.) The food was good no complaints there. The dessert we were told was a sampler for $30 if it had been any smaller it would have been a micro sampler. Our bill for 4 with no drinks was over $250.00 - to be honest too expensive for what you get but it was nice.

Approximate cost: $38.00

This review is for Louie's Chinese Restaurant, Asquith NSW

verified email - 21 Sep 2013

Have purchased evening meals here a couple of times, would have to be honest they are what I would describe as European Chinese. Pleasant but bland. There is nothing wrong with it, but if I have to buy Chinese there are better places around Hornsby to go to.

This review is for Mount Colah Fruitworld, Mount Colah NSW

verified email - 21 Aug 2013

The shop has been through a few owners over the years and with each owner the quality of produce changed. Currently the shop has the freshest produce around, and cheaper than the product available in Hornsby. The staff are friendly and helpful, always with a honest opinion of the quality and taste if asked. Currently my first choice when picking up any fruit or Veg. Pop in next time you are going by - parking at rear.

Approximate cost: $40.00

This review is for Patten Motor Repairs, Mount Colah NSW

verified email - 15 Aug 2013

Shannon and the team have serviced all of our cars since we moved to the area 17 years ago. They are so helpful, and friendly it is like family. Nothing is too much effort for them, From looking at a problem when you drive in to fixing a major issue. I have always found the price to be very reasonable - the greatest complement I can give them is that not one of our cars has ever had to go back a second time to get fixed.

Approximate cost: $460.00

This review is for Turramurra Music Centre, Turramurra NSW

verified email - 09 Aug 2013

My son is into music, went to the shop to buy him a new guitar, the staff were helpful in pointing out the differences in the guitars the tones/sounds the guitars could produce. They gave him two the guitars to try in the sound proof room, I think they must have cranked the amp up to 11, to make sure he could hear !! Being allowed to play them in a realistic environment helped him make up his mind. We do all of our music shopping there the prices are really good, staff are super friendly and helpful. Nothing ever seems to faze them as they are always joking behind the counter.

Approximate cost: $1000.00

This review is for Chefs Noodle, Hornsby NSW

verified email - 09 Aug 2013

When the wife is away this is the Kids and my self's secret treat on the nights that I work late, and too tired to make dinner.
They are a takeaway with a sit down area if you want to eat there. But that is not the reason you go there it is the food and the taste - heaven. Quickly cooked with fresh Veg and the meat mix you request, the smell is awesome and leaves the mouth watering. The kids have big smiles when they know the will be eating from Chef's kitchen. The meals are good value for around $10 when you consider what else you can buy for that price.

Approximate cost: $10.00

This review is for Mori Japanese Restaurant, Hornsby NSW

verified email - 09 Aug 2013

Took the family for a meal to this place - when you walk in friendly and inviting. Only issue was a little slow to get around taking our order as the waitresses seem to forget us - no real issue. The food when it arrived was well presented and tasty, we enjoyed stealing a bit from everyone's plate. As usual Facebook got to see our meal - everyone enjoyed the Japanese beer. Price was reasonable, with everyone having a good time. Will be going back.

Approximate cost: $125

This review is for Bluebell Conveyancing, Port Melbourne VIC

verified email - 08 Aug 2013

Over the years we have bought and sold many properties across Australia and in my opinion Bluebell are by far the worst we have ever encountered. We found them argumentative and not stepping up to take responsibility when things went wrong, causing us lots of stress over an extended period that we didn't need.

First major issue was we were given a list of bank cheques to be made out for settlement, went to the bank and to my total embarrassment they did not add up, the bank and myself sorted it out and corrected the error in the documentation I was given – when I contacted Bluebell we did not even get a sorry for the mistake from them only attitude.

Next issue was they agreed to registered post the title dead to us, (which is NOT part of the service they offer – you have to turn up at their office to get your title deed, hope you don't live too far away as we do interstate.) the registered item was lost for 30 days in the Australia Post network, but it finally turned up. Bluebell advised us at one stage to engage a lawyer to chase it up, but as anyone knows who has used registered post only the sender can enquire or claim against lost items, so being told to engage a lawyer at our expense would only have been a waste of time effort and money. I would like to close this review with a comment we received from them, which I feel is quite mutual - “We request in future you no longer contact our office and we hold our rights to not act for you in relation to any other matters in the future.” (Don't worry we won't be back – and you the potential customer have been warned.)

Approximate cost: $990.00

This review is for Thai Delight Restaurant, Melton VIC

verified email - 08 Aug 2013

My partner and I were in Melton on business, and looking for a nice thai dinner out - after checking out the online reviews we decided on this restaurant. From the outside the place does not look the best, but once you get past the take away area, it is warm and inviting. Service was good and the food excellent. Could not stop my partner from taking photos and sticking them up on facebook - the food looked that good. Once you get past the takeaway area you are in for an experience to remember.

Approximate cost: $95
