I went in during lunch time last week, waited 5 mins to get served. I was served by a lovely lady called Marie-Ann. Very friendly and patient while showing me all the different items. Great suggestions without trying to upsell you with more expensive items. Lunch time is pretty crowded so try to avoid if possible!

Great location, decent price, very clean accommodation!
Stayed there for 1 night during December last year. We arrived a bit earlier than expected and they allowed us to check in early. Only a couple of minutes walk to the river boardwalk and all the pubs and restaurants. Very well equipped, incredibly clean apartment with lovely view of the CBD. The decor is contemporary with very good sound insulation.

The only thing we didn't like was that most of the lights are cool lights so the apartment didn't look so warm and welcoming (yes I'm being picky here but couples might not like it).

Overall a fantastic hotel and I highly recommend it!

Approximate cost: $140 (1B apartment)

Must admit (to me anyway), best gyozas and pork buns in Sydney, but not the ramen. The interior of this ramen outlet remains me of the restaurant in a Japanese department store!
Very soft and juicy pork buns! The eel rice is tiny but it still filled you up as the fish is pretty oily (in a nice way). I find the ramen only so so especially with that price tag.Will return but not for ramen.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Madame Nhu, Sydney NSW

Yummy food, bad hygiene and worst service.
Their Pho is not bad for Sydney CBD (but can't beat local viet places in suburbs in terms of size and value), I used to be a regular but won't be going back ANYMORE!
I used to go cos you could get decent portion and quality around $10 (it's cheap compared to $12 salads next door) However, my last experience with Madame Nhu was bad enough to make me stop going there...
When i was slurping my pho noodles, my right hand felt very itchy. Knowing the dimmed lights in the food hall I didn't know what it was until I took a good look. It was worms from the raw viet herbs (which, by the way, looked VERY dark and off so I only picked the fresh bits in) crawling onto my hand!!! I killed them out of horror and was in shock so I totally forgot to go back to the restaurant and tell them what just happened. I returned the next day telling them what happened to me the day before and they just looked at me blankly with no apology or feel embarrassed about what happened. I was not happy about their reaction so I'm here to write about my experience so people could choose wisely about their restaurant. Hopefully the restaurant sees this review one day and do make some improvement about the hygiene and service.

Approximate cost: $10

I disagree with the first review saying it's the best coffee. In fact my latte I had yesterday was very watery. An Nespresso machine could do better than that. Can't comment on the service and food as I only drove past this cute deli and wanted a takeaway coffee. $3.50 for my coffee water...

My beloved cafe!!! Went there once and I fell in love with it! I had to wait for 15mins for our table but that's no big issue cos we just put our names down and walked around the street. Best Chai Tea so I've had so far, strong and full of flavour. Generous portions (even the tea leaves in my pot), friendly services. Communal dining (some parts of this tiny cafe) so if you're not a fan of that then that's not the cafe for you. Hot chocolate was pretty good too. Yummy bread!

Friendly staff, professional treatment, fast results. One big let down is that the place doesnt make you feel calm (for me anyway), feels like I'm going under the knife as my eyes were blinding by harsh fluorescent light during my medi facial. I must admit my face feels tightened instantly and redness (beauty therapist was trying to remove my whiteheads and milia) disappeared after an hour or so.

Went there tonight for a AHA peel facial for thursday night booking. Now my skin feels smoother and looks nicer :D It's not those "relaxing in Bali" facials with essential oils but more of a "clinical facial" with powerful chemicals that works instantly after 1 peel. Very hygienic as well as the beauty therapist had disposable gloves on during the treatment which I really appreciate (you could tell hygiene factor is top of my list if you read my other WOMO reviews). I also like how they open late on Thurs. Great for afterwork then night shopping!

This is more of a tour booking service but it's really good that I have to write a review.
Very professional and they try their best to find the cheapest deal for your needs.
I left an email with my contact details for them to call me back and received a phone call quickly.
They also have last minute tours for cheaper rates as well. Very patience and polite staff.

Big mistake, we came here last weekend for lunch without a booking so we had to wait for 20 minutes for a table for 2. It was okay cos it gave us the chance to walk around the gift shop (very cute!!!) The view is lovely, only if you get a table near a view though. The fish pie was something like $27, which is a bit too expensive as it tastes bland, fish + potatoes in cream sauce with boring presentation. A bit disappointed actually.
Will return but only for the view, not the meal.

Approximate cost: $27
