I went here for a quick coffee the other day with family. It was a really nice outdoor setting, not too cramped and the service was very friendly a detail oriented. I had a chai latte and my mum had a cuppacino. Both were well made, and I found the Chai to be a nice flavour balance and a quality mix. The cuppacino had a glossy froth and the beans were not burnt, which is two thumbs up for coffee. I didn't have anything from the menu this time, but it seemed to be reasonably priced and had a decent variety. Will definitely be coming back here for a brekky sometime soon!

This review is for The Best Thai, Darlinghurst NSW

Went here today for lunch with a fairly large group and all had a great meal. I had the Tom Yum noodle soup (vegetarian) and the portion was huge! Absolutely massive bowel of soup for $8, and it was delicious. Great flavour balance and they didn't mind us asking how spicy it would be. Lots of options and specials, definitely a nice place to have lunch. Only marked them down for service because the meals came out a different times, some quite late. Other than that service wasn't particularly bad or good. Cash only!

Approximate cost: $8-12

Omg yum! These guys have some seriously flavourful food. Have been here twice now with friends and there hasn't been a bad menu choice yet.I personally love the torn kha hed which is surprisingly filling and great value at $5 , l also like some rice on the side for $2. Great selection, including a vegetarian section in the menu. Marked down for service because they often forget rice orders and the occasional main comes very late or only with prompting. Overall, food and valve win
l love it here. Reasonably low corkage as well.

This review is for Kung Fu Ramen, Haymarket NSW

I went here the other day with friends and overall found it to be ok value and average quality but given the variety in the area, not my first choice. The ramen was pretty standard and the dumplings were average but plentiful so good if you are hungry. Cash only, service was ok but could have been faster.

Approximate cost: $10

Omg yum, the vegi sandwich n brown here is incredible. It's huge and has a variety of well seasoned ingredients. Service was lacking and cash only, but worth it for that sandwich. Definitely felt I'd payed for something I couldn't have made at home.

Went here for coffee with my boyfriend the other day, I got a mocha bowl for $6 and he got an espresso. I thought the value for size was excellent but the standard and taste was not good, it was sickly and the beans had be burnt. Bit squishy but nice view, service was a bit slow/unattentive.

This review is for Robina Tavern, Robina QLD

Robina tavern has a really relaxed, scenic outdoor setting if the weather is fine and lunches are awesome value Mon-sat ($10). I'd avoid the prawn salad as they were not well done, but all of the serving sizes we got were massive. Mash spud is a must as a side, vegetarian food is good but could be more options. Overall pretty great if the menu suits your dietary restrictions otherwise nice place for a relaxed drink.

Approximate cost: $10-20

This review is for Mad Mex Fresh Mexican Grill, Mascot NSW

verified email - 22 Jan 2013

Had some Mad Mex waiting for my flight the other day. Had nachos and a drink for around $16 dollars which isn't bad considering how much they cram into those nachos! So value was pretty good and you got to choose what went into your nachos so variety was also good. My only qualms were the fake cheese sauce instead of cheese and how spicy it ended up being despite being mild salsa (I think when you add the guac + onions + mild salsa +whatever else is seasoned in there it can get spicier than mild overall). But still pretty good, and vegetarian options were yummy and well seasoned.

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Montezuma's Mexican Restaurant, Surfers Paradise QLD

Whilst I appreciated the atmosphere, the food was not good or of good value. I ordered a vegetarian enchilada and I basically got a plate full brown refried beans and a bit of guacamole. Not to mention I think the reheat job wasn't great as I got a really bad stomach later, which hasn't happened at any other Mexican eateries to me. Sangria was good though. Overall great atmosphere but food is not worth jt.

These guys are great! Can can get a lot of Mexican for a reasonable price. What I like best is the variety and freshness Olathe ingredients. I hadn3 vegetarian tacos for $8 and my boyfriend had an enchilada- they were full of flavour, colour and variety. Yum, definitely my favourite Mexican food yet.

Approximate cost: $8
