This review is for David Suh's TCM Clinic, Chatswood NSW

verified email - 29 Apr 2012

Very good for sports injuries, the clinician is very good at acupuncture and reflexology. I've seen David over numerous injuries, including shoulder sprains, back spasms. He is very effective at reducing inflammation and pain.

He lectures twice a week at some chinese medicine tertiary educational institution (not sure which) and is very knowledgeable.

He charged me $75 on returning appointments and I remember initial appointments being more expensive.

Overall he will help you and is worth the money, especially with sports related injuries (over-use type).

Approximate cost: $75

This review is for The Mirror Factory, Roseville NSW

Bought a full sized mirror from here for the best price I've seen around. The clerk was very helpful in looking for what I was after and the design that I liked.

The store is slightly cramped but it has a lot of goods on display, and you can either pick the ones on display or the clerk will bring out a catalogue which you can order from.

Luckily the one I bought was at the store so I didn't have to wait for an order but the clerk said that it generally takes 5~10 days for the order to come through. You can ask for delivery if your mirror is huge as well.

Overall, the store has great service, great value and great looking mirrors ranging from small to full sized door mirrors or wardrobe mirrors.

A great gift store with plenty of hand-made accessories, and natural soap. The lady at the stores seem to design and make the accessories at the back.

They have really nice scented natural home-made body soap set (I paid $40 for my set) where you can either get floral or fruity scents. They also have nice female bangles and earrings which are priced between $5~80.

I bought a women's purse(wallet) from here and the material and quality was stunning with a very unique and interesting design. I was told by the serving lady that most of the stuff in the store were hand-made by the family.

This store is great if you need to buy a gift for someone and show that you've put some thought into the gifts.

Approximate cost: $5~80

This review is for Waitara News Agency, Waitara NSW

verified email - 28 Apr 2012

A normal newsagency with the regular snacks, magazines, newspapers and soft drinks.

The shop is slightly overpriced with most of their snacks and drinks. The owners are nice, but they get cranky sometimes because of the school kids that plague and shoplift.

One time, I had to wait like 5 minutes to be served because the owner went to chase a school kid who shoplifted. The place would benefit if they had more workers sometimes, but I have seen the owners wife also working at the store on some days.

Overall, the store is a normal newagency with overpriced snacks and the service could be better. The place requires a bit of 'traffic control' especially when the school kids start rushing in.

This review is for Uni Brothers Kebabs and Pizza, Darlington NSW

Great for uni student, best value. You can get a meal for under $7 with Usyd Access card, or $8 without.

They are extremely busy at lunchtime and I often need to queue up (10 people in line?) to order. They offer healthy lebanese platters to more junky meatboxes (snack boxes) where they give you a box of meat and chips for $9 (non-access).

I come here regularly because their platter is low carb and is healthy compared to the junk food around the uni.

This place offers healthy and affordable choices for students who are low on dough while also catering for the junk fans who like their burgers, chips and so on.

Approximate cost: $7+

This review is for Ogalo, Chatswood NSW

verified email - 28 Apr 2012

The hot ogalo burgers here taste great. The peri peri from ogalo is fantastic (better than Nandos in my opinion) and they also have good deals on whole chickens. I think they have 2 whole chickens for just under $20 (something like $19.90) and they put peri peri on the chicken as well.

I've seen the owner change about twice in this store, and so far, the current one has had best service. Sometimes he would give me some free chicken popcorn thingies to try.

The only downside is that the meals from Ogalo are slightly expensive, for fries + burger and drink (can) you need to pay around $11. I find this quite expensive as I can get proper restaurant meals around chatswood at lunchtime for same price.

Overall, store has good service and the food comes out fast. I would like to recommend for the peri peri lovers, 'hot ogalo burger, extra chilli' from here.

PS. You can watch some channel V (or sometimes sports channel) on their TV while waiting for your order =)

Approximate cost: $11

This review is for Pure Chiropractic Clinic Chatswood, Chatswood NSW

verified email - 28 Apr 2012

I've had a long history of back pains, recently suffered from herniated disk in my neck with C7 nerve impingement. I've been through many chiropractors and the chiro here is the best at neck treatment.

The treament involves a 10 min ride at spinalator and then an intensive chiro session. The chiro here graduated from Palmer's college in the states, and received a Ph.D chiro.

I personally feel like I've been cared for, and I still regularly attend the clinic 1~2 times a week.

What I like most about the clinic is that the chiro understands that back pain can arise anytime, so she doesn't get cranky when you show up with a short notice (most other chiro's seemed annoyed when I do this) and will attempt to squeeze you in if she's busy.

I highly recommend this chiropractor if you're having a lot of upper back problems.

Approximate cost: $40

This review is for De Pho, Chatswood NSW

verified email - 28 Apr 2012

I am pho enthusiast, and this place has pretty good pho for a shopping centre pho shop. What I liked the most is the soup actually comes hot (a lot of pho shops don't).

The service is satisfactory, it is what you would expect from a shopping mall food store. They take your order and they bring out the food in reasonable time even when the store is busy (during lunch time).

I am happy with this store overall.

Approximate cost: $12.50
