Had a bacon and egg sandwich here. Bread was lovely and fresh and as it was late for breakfast they made me one fresh rather than taking the withered looking bacon and eggs that were left in the bain marie. I appreciated that as it made for a tasty sandwich whereas if they had used the bain marie stuff it would have been awful. Check before you buy and if in doubt ask them to make you one fresh rather than get one of the pre cooked ingredient ones.

Had a fantastic massage here. Could barely move when I went in, I was so stiff and sore. Felt 100 percent when I left and have booked in for another massage. I had the remedial massage so that is claimable through my health fund and great value (not sure all funds cover this you would need to check prior to booking). Beautiful clean surrounds and elegantly and tastefully decorated as well. Recommend a remedial massage here.

This review is for Fast Pho, Ultimo NSW

Exceptional pho, beef broth is sensational, rich and flavoursome with a hint of caramel. Tender beef pieces, loads of coriander and served with bean sprouts and lemon. Wonton soup was also a standout - again the broth was the feature. Gorgeous chicken flavour. Crispy skin chicken also sensational and the spring rolls could have come straight from a street vendor in Vietnam. Self serve tea and iced water for free. Quick and efficient sevice and best of all, unbeatable price. $3 for the wonton soup, $5 for four spring rolls, pho $7.00 and the same for the crispy skin chicken. The best value Vietnamese food in Sydney, served on clean wooden tables in a simply but tastefully appointed restaurant (complete with Vietnamese cloth paintings). Menu is simple and small but has all the staples and everything you need. Check it out!

Fabulous crusty baguette full of fresh crispy salad, pate, coriander, fresh chilli and soy for $3.50. About the best value banh mi around. The pork meatball one is also excellent but very heavy on the garlic so don't have one in your lunch break if you have a business meeting planned that afternoon. The line for these at lunch time can be pretty daunting but it is well worth the wait and about the best value lunch you can buy in the CBD. Give it a try!

I have been coming here for years and the pizza is consistently good. They do an exceptional margherita pizza and the supreme is also excellent. Great pizza base. They have been around as long as I can remember - more than 20 years which is and absolute testament to their excellence. Really is consistently one of the best pizza options in the area.

Had a very nice tom yum goong here. We had take away and it was still nice and hot when we got it home. Thai food does not always travel well and is usually best eaten immediately so this was a bonus. Green curry was also good but could have been a little spicier - I like a green curry that lifts your head off! Portions were generous. I would try this one again, especially as an eat in option but would ask them to spice things up a little. I think they tend to tone things down for the Western palate.

We really enjoyed our pizza's here. They were a really large size and very tasty. We had the four seasons and a margherita. Restaurant had a lovely casual atmosphere complete with the traditional red checked tablecloth. We were served quickly and the pizza arrived promptly. Ingredients were fresh and the pizza base was thin and crispy with a nice amount of salt for flavour, as I like.

Had a really nice beef pho here, lovely beef base. The wonton egg noodle soup was also delicious and really generous on the wontons - eight in the bowl. The crispy chicken was a bit of a let down as it was overdone and came to the table late so that was a bit disappointing. It also came without dipping sauce. Overall though this place is pretty good especially as we had lunch specials and the dishes were only $8.00 each. Excellent value. Service was really friendly, another plus. Recommend the pho especially.

Just rating this on the drinks as we only stopped off for a coffee which was quite nice. Not too bitter or milky and a nice blend. The iced chocolate was a let down. Half the cup full of ice a little bit of milk and a ecent scoop of ice cream. At 5.50 this was not good value and I have never experienced an iced chocolate with ice anywhere else except Vietnam where it comes with condensed milk and ice but it only costs a few dollars there. Marking this down based on the chocolate.

Had the prawn and pork wonton noodle with spicy sauce. The wonton had plenty of prawn flavour and was delicately flavoured. The spicey sauce was a little sweet for my liking but still good. They offer great lunch specials too. If you order a noodle dish you can get a drink or side of dim sims for half price. Service was efficient and the wait was not too bad although I was there early for lunch, bang on 12.00.

Approximate cost: $11.00
