I've been a regular at Sushi Aka since 2011. There are a couple of Sushi restaurants in Epping, and after trying them all I settled on Sushi Aka as my favourite.

They don't pre-make any sushi, so it takes a little longer but the sushi is freshest and tastiest. I recommend the Aka box and the Curry Chicken Katsu Don.

I've been in this store many times as they have a good selection of violin related items, and I've spent well over $1000 with them. However I find the staff to be very unfriendly and unhelpful. As a professional musician who spends a significant amount of money every year I felt like my presence was an inconvenience to them. I can't imagine how they treat non-professionals. As a result I've taken most of my business elsewhere.

I've ordered many items from Swamp over the last 12 months - cables, looms, mic clips, studio accessories. Each time the order has been swiftly received and accurate. The "Swamp" branded cables are excellent value, and they provide excellent service (even over the Xmas break!).

My only complaint is that items seem to be out of stock a little more often than I'd like - the price of being popular I guess. Were it not for this minor issue I'd give them 5 stars across the board.

I ordered a PC for music composing. They built a flawless, fantastic machine - it's the best internal assembly I've ever seen (and I've bought a LOT of PCs over the years). The attention to detail (hardware and software) is just superb. I called after I ordered to request a minor change - they answered promptly and they accommodated my request immediately.

I will be buying more machines from them in the future and I have no hesitation recommending GR-TEK to anyone.

16 Mar 2013 Update - Have had my machine for just over a year. Had a minor hardware problem. Despite the machine being (just) out of warranty they still fixed the problem at no charge.

Approximate cost: $1800
