This review is for China Tea House, Wanniassa ACT

verified email - 08 Oct 2012

One of my family's favs when it comes to Chinese take away. Food is of a high standard, never too oily which isn't always the case with stir-fry meals from other places I've eaten. They're happy to accommodate for no added MSG meals which is very handy, as I sometimes find I have a reaction from other restaurants. Staff are also very polite. The room has a calm but cheerful vibe, not too noisy either.

Good range of flowers/arrangements. I used them to deliver flowers to home when I was away in another state and my mum went into hospital. She was very happy with the quality of the flowers as they lasted a full 2 weeks. Price was relatively normal for good quality flowers. Lady was also very nice over the phone.

My family regularly shops here. The staff are very friendly and are happy to help recommend certain meats or different ways to cook whatever it is your purchasing. Pricing is what you'd expect from a regular butcher. Best thing we've purchased was the eye fillet, tasted amazing and melted in your mouth when we cooked it as they recommended. Definitely recommend!

I got my hair cut once from here, the lady did a good job, however took a little bit too much off than what I had asked but it still looked nice in the end. Had foils put in too, wasn't offered a specific colour that I wanted to go, she just lightened up my hair a bit. Good experience but might need to convey more what I'm after next time.

Approximate cost: $120

This review is for Erindale Hot Food Bar Takeaway, Wanniassa ACT

Quite good for take away food store. I had the chicken schintzel burger. The chicken schnitzel itself was fair bit bigger than the buns, and a little burnt making it quite awkward to eat, however it tasted quite good. The staff always throw in a few extra pieces of hot food if you go in towards the end of the night when theyre closing up, always lovely of them! Do recommend this place!

The milkshakes here are excellent, we regularly grab one during work. Prices are as expected. The hot chocolates and chai lattes are very nice, however sometimes can taste quite different depending on which size is ordered. Am a member of the loyalty program.

This review is for La Porchetta, Greenway ACT

This is a nice place to come for lunch/dinner. It is a good sized restaurant- quite a bit of space between tables. The pizza here is a highlight for me, everyone I've had so far has been good. A let down was the cabonara. Way too salty and too much cream for the amount of pasta provided. Also made a disappointing base in a risotto dish. However I still regularly dine here for pizza.

Approximate cost: $17

This review is for Thai Amarin, Wanniassa ACT

Lovely place to go for dinner, the atmosphere is nice- not too loud but not dull either. The Pad Thai is my regular dish, and they make it better than the majority of Thai restaurants I've been to in Canberra. The staff are also very polite. Is quite reasonably priced.

This review is for Slow Noodle Fast, Wanniassa ACT

I regularly grab a noodle box on my way home from uni or work. They have a large range of different types of noodle boxes, including rice boxes as well. My usual is the Satay Box, great flavour with a spicy kick as well. The loyalty card is great, every 10 boxes you get a free one, definitely keeps me coming back. Boxes are around $10 each and they take eftpos now which is quite handy. One of my favourite places to eat!

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for La Scala Italian Restaurant, Acton ACT

I've been taken here a couple of times now by my partner. Very classy, high quality restaurant. The setting is peaceful and intimate, with candles on each table. The service is also of a very high standard. The lamb shanks here are amazing, as is the chicken on burnt butter mash, I've never had a meal with such an amazing combination of flavours that have been brought out so delicately. Price is quite high ($100 for 2 mains & 2 desserts) however I believe this is expected for the type of restaurant this is. Will be going back soon!

Approximate cost: $35
