This review is for Southern Wok, Kensington NSW

I'm probably spoiled by places like BBQ One at Eastwood. When I order beef brisket noodle soup at a Cantonese Chinese style eatery and pay over $8, I expect a big serving that I can barely finish and lots of chunks of tender oily meat. Whilst the taste of what I ordered here was pretty good, I was very disappointed at the little bowl I was given. Good enough to keep me going, but not a satisfying meal by my volume requirements.

Approximate cost: $8.50

This review is for Yoga At Rouse Hill Town Hall, Rouse Hill NSW

verified email - 15 May 2010

Sebastian teaches in the city, but does an Iyengar Yoga class at Rouse Hill everyday Saturday and Monday. He is one of the best that I have learnt from, and I have been a yoga student for over 12 years. Some long standing postural issues that other teachers failed to address were dealt with within a few months of Sebastian's classes. Highly recommended, for people of all fitness and flexibility levels and ages.

Approximate cost: $16.5

This review is for Kmart Tyre And Auto, Northmead NSW

Forget that this is KMart, this is the best of what a mechanic shop should always be. Steve seems to be the owner and head mechanic, he is always the one we deal with, and here are a list of his virtues:

1) He explains what he sees wrong in a very understandable way, both before and after you have handed over your cash.
2) He has proven to us that he will go to lengths to fix things in a way that will cost you less, even though it may be a little extra work/hassle for him.
3) He does a great job with the car (not that we are experts mind, things just seems to go better better than after Toyota Parramatta does a maintenance)

Steve is the best, I really hope this review gets him lots of business!

This review is for Save Rent A Car, Blacktown NSW

When my car broke down which I need to run my business, I needed to find a rental in a hurry. Save Rent-A-Car is just down the road from our house, and the $29 a day minimum sounded good. As expected, it isn't actually that low unless you rent for a week or so, which is fine. The car was fine, and we rented for one day with no issues.

The only problem is, I'm not sure these guys are 100% trustworthy. Basically, we went in asking for the cheapest rental, they gave us a $45/day car. When I called again because I was a little suspicious, they said they had a $40 a day car available. In the end it's only $5, but if they are willing to lie about something as small as that, would you really want to trust them with something like mechanical repairs for example?

We were pulled in by the $30 call out fee, but were very impressed with the professionalism and outcome. They showed me the problem with our fridge, how to fix it ourselves and assured me it was easy, and didn't charge anything above the call out. I did as they said and the fridge has been working 100% ever since. They do many areas and come to you, highly recommended.

This review is for UNSW Pavilion Vietnamese, Kensington NSW

verified email - 15 May 2010

As soon as you walk into the Pavilion during lunchtime, the smell of Vietnamese herbs and spices lures you in. The food is fresh, tasty, and relatively cheap. Be sure to not go past the Vietnamese summer rolls when you are in need for an in lecture snack.

Approximate cost: $8

This review is for Health Dimensions, Windsor NSW

My cousin went to see the Chinese herbal specialist at Health Dimensions for some of his severe skin problems. He'd been to western doctors as well as some well known Chinese Medicine practitioners in Sydney for years, and what shedid for him within a month is nothing short of amazing. He literally looks like a different person. Our family really can't recommend her highly enough for whatever may ail you.

Approximate cost: $75

This review is for Rib Runner, Blacktown NSW

If you do pickups on most nights, prices are discounted and pretty good value in our view. We've only tried pizzas here, but keep coming back - the dough is very well done, crispy and chewy, and the ingredients taste fresh. I kind of feeling like eating one now...

This review is for BBQ One, Eastwood NSW

verified email - 15 May 2010

The size of the portions given in these two Eastwood restaurants (one on Rowe St, another in Eastwood Plaza) are amazing, one bowl of roast duck and noodle soup will be enough for many couples, and that only costs $12.00! Authentic Hong Kong freshness and taste.

Approximate cost: $11

This review is for Thai Splendid, Rouse Hill NSW

Service seemed to be fine the two times we went, may have improved lately. We really enjoyed the food, particularly the Roast Duck Red Curry with Tropical Fruits and the Splendid Beef.

Approximate cost: $21
