This review is for Bento, Launceston TAS

We love going to Bento. They have a great range of fresh sushi that you can see them making on the spot, as well as cooked Japanese meals and sides. The prices are great and they are reasonably quick though if you go right on meal time you can get stuck in a long line and you should expect a bit of a wait. There is some tables inside so you can dine in but you can also get takeaway. They also have a nice range of drinks such as Charlie juices.

Approximate cost: $10-20

This is a great place especially for a larger friends or family get together. The pizzas are tasty with yummy choices of fillings and large so you can get your own or share, and there is a bar there with all sorts of drinks. They also have pool tables and that. The pizzas were reasonably priced. I would definitely go back here

I was really disappointed with the pizza here. They were quite cheap and large however they were really greasy like something you would expect from a cheap takeaway shop - worse than you get from pizza hut or dominos. We dined in and there was no much room as it is only small but it was comfortable enough, but they do takeaway as well. The service was great and they were quick and friendly, it's just the food wasn't that great.

I have been here a couple of times and only found it average. I've only ever tried the pastas. The food while nice is nothing amazing, and I could easily make something like this at home. They are happy to do kids meals like plain spaghetti with butter etc so this is good though. The meals are decent size and the prices are okay though not somewhere I would rush back to.

I went to this place one night with friends for dinner. It was very full so it was very loud inside and there was hardly any room around our table so we felt quite squished in, which did ruin the experience a little. The food however was really nice and fresh. From memory the price was good and it seemed a popular place as many popped in and out to collect takeaways while we were there. This is not my favourite Thai restaurant but I would go back

This place is absolute tops for Thai food. We went there one night and were actually quite put off by being the only people in the restaurant as we were worried this reflected on the quality of the food, and it was also quite awkward as it was very quiet. The meals were quick and really nicely presented, and they tasted amazing. They were pretty large and some of us did not finish but were able to take the leftovers in a small takeaway container. The price was great for what we got. After the meal we were brought a nicely presented mandarin and some mints.

I was really happy with the meal and I am keen to go back here soon!

Approximate cost: $20

I have been here a couple of times for dinner. The food is pretty good though I find a lot of the choices a bit boring. The menu is mainly pasta and then there is some other meals like chicken, veal etc. They are often quite busy however this results in the room ending up being quite noisy.
One thing I can say is that even when the place is quite full the meals are served quickly and they are pretty large so you are unlikely to be left hungry. The price was fairly reasonable.

This is a small new ladies fashion shop that has opened in town. They stock some amazing clothes for mainly young adults at a quite affordable price. I love most of their clothes in there but so far have limited myself to only purchasing one pair of cool leggings at $18. The location of the shop is not far from the mall, and they also do online sales.

This review is for Red Restaurant, Deloraine TAS

I can hardly put into words how happy I am with this place! I went there the other day to get a pizza, the service was amazing - the girl serving was super friendly, and then the pizza was ready in about 7 minutes. I am gluten free and this is seriously the most delicious gluten free pizza ever. They had a good variety of other items on the menu also including gluten free pasta, and all for reasonable price. Deloraine is a bit out of my way (40min drive) but I will be definately going back out there for this amazing food. They do eat in or takeaway also which is handy, just a pity they don't deliver to Launceston :P

Can't recommend this shop more highly!! Every Saturday 8.30-11.30am they have a setup at the Launceston Harvest market and we try go in to buy some seafood there every 2 weeks. The guy that runs it always remembers us and even has a fair idea what we bought last time! He is very friendly and reccomends what we should try, and even how to cook it. The fish is always really fresh, and is the best out of all the places we have bought it. He will cut however much you want off and the prices are reasonable, there is always fish there at the lower price range so something for everyone. There is always a small queue of people waiting to get some of the best fresh fish from this guy! We won't buy fish anywhere else now!
