I have been here a couple of times now, the first time unfortunately my order was taken but not put into the kitchen before the staff member went home, 40mins later i was finally asked again if i was going to order. The food is tasty and very nice, albeit it a bit expensive for the lunch rush for the size portion you get. They make a really nice and tasty nachos which i highly recommend, you can also get a range of beers.

As someone who doesnt regularily need printing services i cannot complete myself in the office, i found the staff to be very unhelpful. I was given a store credit after 3 staff failed to produce the result i was looking for or actually be able to execute the desired results. As a self service option they have all the facilities you could need at a printers however some of the prices i was surprised too see. Convieniently you can also send fedex packages straight from instore.

This review is for Breadtop, Ultimo NSW

This isnt your ordinary bakery, they have lots of savourite (although they are usually sweet) and quite a good range of different cakes and treats and coffee. I used to get the ham and cheese crossaints from there but my favourite is definitely the small pork rolls. Cheap for a quick bite, but if you get a few things the tally certainly goes up fast in comparison to going to a marrickville vietnamese bakery for example.

Approximate cost: $2 - $4

Home of the $5.00 steak/meal if you are a student and after a cheap eat this is the place to go. Make sure you go out of peak times otherwise you have to queue forever. Its great for a cheap feed and you can enjoy a beer while you have it. They also have live music and areas to sit outside. Nice place to spend Friday afternoon.

Approximate cost: $5.00

This review is for Cafe Ottimo, Ultimo NSW

A nice place to get your coffee in the morning, they are friendly and remember the way you like it :) They also have terrific lunch specials daily, which are great to take advantage of. They are cheap and they fill you up. The chicken parmigiana is definitely my favourite lunch special. If going for lunch, try and go outside of the usual hours as it can be hard to find a table there. The cafe also offeres sandwich catering for companies which is really handy and delicious

This review is for Sunflower Crepe Cafe, Ultimo NSW

A great place for lunch of a different kind, the Crepes and food here are fantastic. I hadnt experienced many crepes (or good ones at that) before i went to this place. Savoury or Desert they are really nice, they also have a very nice Chicken Teriyaki style lunch box. The peach tea they have is fantastic and the desert crepes are really nice to take the partner too (watch out for the chocolate its super rich). Very well priced and you can generally get lunch and a drink for $10.00. The place is a bit small, but i have always been able to get a table.

Approximate cost: $10.00

This review is for Insieme Cafe Pizzeria Bar, Ultimo NSW

This restaurant/bar is very nice indeed, they make a coffee that gives you a bit of zip in the morning and have a wide range of food which all tastes fantastic. I work very close by so i have eaten there quite a few times for lunch and for dinner and the food is fantastic. Insieme has some of the nicest woodfired pizza that i have had in a very long time. The staff are friendly and helpful and i have always left with a smile on my face.

Approximate cost: $12 - $18

This review is for EB Games, Ultimo NSW

verified email - 23 Apr 2008

This EB isnt quite as busy as some of the other stores i have been too around Sydney which is good in terms you arent being bumped or pushed around by people as you look for the games your after. However the service is a bit lacklustre, they arent that helpful in answering questions pending game releases or what happens with preorders etc. I was quite dissapointed. However seeing as tho it is EB they generally have stock of almost any title you would want and trade almost any game so you definitely get what you want 99% of the time. If you really need a game, you can get it so thats a good thing to know if you are impatient :)

This review is for Oporto, Ultimo NSW

verified email - 23 Apr 2008

Quite a good Oporto, the service is a bit slow because there are so many people in there always but their burgers, chips and wraps are always very good. If you can go there outside of the peak rush then its usually a great way to get something quick to eat whilst near broadway shopping center.

Approximate cost: $10.00

This review is for Golden Fang Chinese Restaurant, Chippendale NSW

verified email - 23 Apr 2008

The food here is fantastic, the lunch special is cheap but if you go and eat with friends you can all walk out with bursting belly's for under $15.00

The szechuan is really really nice at the Golden Fang and its something i try and order as much as possible. They also make a good Ma Po Tofu and Sizzling Mongolian Beef has a lot of flavour. Its good for a lunch hour as you can get in and out with easy and you never have to wait long for your food. Definitely great to go with friends and co workers.

Approximate cost: $11.50
