This review is for Strike Bowling Bar, Sydney NSW

This place is great! Its right on Darling Harbour, which makes it easy to get to by train or ferry. The place is pretty modern, with cool lights and music. The music isn't to my taste but its at least upbeat.

The prices aren't too bad but still higher because of course its in the harbour, that just comes with the territory. You can find some deals on their website or Facebook page.

The food is average for a bowling place but a bit on the steep side. Your best bet is to have fun bowling, then leave the harbour area to find a nice little cafe for cheaper food.

This place is ok but not great. I bought my wife a manicure and it was around $10, so not bad. As I waited for her to get done, I noticed that some staff were eating their lunch. This isn't bad, but they were sitting at their work areas so it makes me wonder about their cleanliness.

The staff also talked to each other loudly in another language. It doesn't really matter what they spoke, but I think talking in any language (and especially what your customers can't speak) to coworkers constantly is a bit rude.

I would pass on this place in the future, unless you have someone with you to talk to.

Went here today and it was great! The other reviewer said they didn't have all the flavors like the website says. The website lists 54 flavors and they rotate them, so you won't get all 54 flavors in one store obviously. But its still worth it to go here.

We paid about $7 for 5 flavors & 2 pieces of the cheesecake. Their topping bar was bigger than the one we saw in Darling Harbour, so that was pretty awesome in our eyes.

As I recall, the yogurt flavors included strawberry, cheesecake, coconut, plain, latte, chocolate milkshake, cookies & cream, and 2 or 3 citrus ones.

The toppings bar had too many things to remember, ranging from nuts, sour or sweet candies, fruit, chocolate syrup, brownies, and cheesecake.

Definitely needed in Stocklands and we'll be going back every visit.

Like others, I received some products from them to trial for my wife. The packaging was so professional and expensive-looking. She enjoyed them so much that I went ahead and purchased more items from them.

They have a Facebook page and the employee running it is very quick to answer all of your questions. I noticed that they do giveaways on there as well.

Check them out for Christmas gifts because their products are very high quality, with great packaging, and the fragrance is very nice.

This review is for Fairfield Hospital, Prairiewood NSW

For me, there are pros & cons about this hospital. I was admitted for 10 days, and there were just a few things that bugged me.

The cons -
1) Not being able to get assistance within a reasonable timeframe. I was bed bound and waited more than an hour for help from a nurse. So this may be a need for more staff rather than bad nurses.
2) Not being able to understand the doctors because of thick accents. It wouldn't have been an issue but they were too impatient to explain themselves so I could understand.
3) I left the hospital having no idea how to care for my condition or new diet.
4) I was woken at 4am one night to a man inserting a needle into my hand (the ones that they use with those bags that drip medicine into you). The problem was I already had one in my arm, and in the morning a nurse told me that they had no idea who this man was, or why he did it, and that I didn't need it.

The pros - the nurses and their trainees were very polite and nice. I got my surgery done with no complications. Everything seemed very clean.

This is not an arcade we will return to. I purchased 2 coupons online for $5.00 for 30 minutes to play any arcade games, plus a ride on the go karts. When we went to use the coupons, the staff told us its not "any" game, its the older games. And even some of the older games wouldn't take the card they gave us to use. Out of the whole building, we were able to play 4 games in total.

If we wanted to ride the go karts, we would have to do it during the 30 minutes we had to play or our card would expire. The problem was the line was so long, our card would expire before we even got to the attendant.

I feel that they scammed us with these coupons from Scoopon. That, combined with several games that were broken, will insure we won't be returning.

This review is for Forum Kebabs, Fairfield NSW

This is the best place to eat in the Forum. Its located across from Kmart. The owner also runs the Subway right next to it. You can tell he really cares about being clean - everything is spotless.

I've had the pide & Greek salad. Both were fresh and tasted great. The salad had a ton of yummy feta & olives. The pide came with a bunch of lemon pieces, which I appreciated.

The staff were 2 ladies and were very polite. No problems there at all.

There are some tables & a kids area right next to this place, so its great for lunch or dinner.

This review is for Back To Health, Fairfield NSW

So happy with this place! I came here to get my first treatment after an injury. I had a coupon from a discount magazine. The appointment ended up free! They gave me an evaluation, massage, adjustment, acupuncture, and some type of back therapy.

The staff & doctor were so nice and helpful. I was a bit nervous but they answered all my questions and were there to make me feel better about the visit.

The prices are reasonable if you don't have insurance cover. Definitely ask if they have any deals going on because I noticed you can get an initial visit for $39 with the coupon.

This review is for Lasethetics, Fairfield NSW

This is a great place to come and get a quality, low cost laser treatment. I am male, and was considering getting laser treatment on my back & shoulders. I came here to get some advice and pricing. The staff were friendly, helpful, and answered all of my questions.

During the month of October they were offering 50% off all treatments. Their normal price for male shoulders was only $60. Based on the other places I have been, that seemed very reasonable.

The office was very clean and looked brand new. I felt comfortable coming here because I was sure I would get treated well. Very nice place!

This review is for Bonnyrigg Tyre And Auto, Bonnyrigg NSW

Great service! We took in the care to get a complete check up. For about $130 we got a new oil filter & oil, fluids topped up, a/c inspected, brakes inspected, tyre rotation, and a few other things.

The staff were all very helpful and nice. I liked that they asked about my day and made small talk. I dropped the car off and picked it up a few hours later. The tyre prices seemed cheap as well. Definitely check them out.
