This review is for Harvey Norman, Coffs Harbour NSW

verified email - 01 Dec 2011

Thought I'd shop local and seeing that Harvey Norman match prices I decided to get a price match on a printer. I went to the store and the printer was $329 which is R.R.P. but I could buy the printer instore in Sydney for $250 or an extra $22 for postage. I explained that I was prepared to pay $280 taking into account the shipping. The rep went to see the manager and when he came back he said that they would sell it for $300 as the printer was an exclusive item to them. I told them it was not and was told again that they are the only ones selling it. We had a look online and after the rep could not find it he got a bit smug so I told him to type the model number in and there it was only it was even cheaper than I quoted them, it was there for $244 plus $22 postage. After a few seconds of awkwardness the rep told me his manager said they would do it for $300 no less, I walked out the store and bought it online, I now have my printer and Harvey has lost another customer. Harvey's policy is that they will beat physical store prices and this was a real store in the centre of Sydney, so much for price matching

This review is for Phoen Wong, Coffs Harbour NSW

I love Chinese food and have tried a lot of places around Coffs, but for value and taste you cant beat Phoen Wong's. I especially enjoy the combination short soup (It is the best around town.. ). Its huge so you are better off sharing (to leave room for the other dishes ). Service is very friendly, the lady there may say thankyou thankyou too many times but shes a card. Meals are reasonably priced and the variety is huge, Don't hesitate to go there. You can't beat it. Make sure you order plenty of dishes and share them so you can try everything

Approximate cost: $13.00

This review is for KFC, Coffs Harbour NSW

verified email - 16 Oct 2010

Haven't had KFC for months and need some fast food because of working late, Bought the outback meal and they didn't have potato and gravy and so substituted 2 large potato and gravy for 1 bottle of pepsi (ripped off there). Got home and opened the box to find the greasiest fried chicken ever, it was a cholesterol nightmare. no real good pieces of chicken just thighs and wings, but the grease was the real killer. Also bought corn but it was dry and tasteless.
The store was grotty and greasy. They can't even pick the full grown weeds out of the pavers in the outdoor dining area.
One good thing though, the chips were great.
Whoever owns this Kentucky Fried Chicken store needs to sell up and let a better operator take over or really pick up the game. The Coffs north store is also new but you can already see the same thing happening there. I bet they are both owned by the same operator

Approximate cost: $45.00

This review is for Metal Line, Coffs Harbour NSW

Rang up for a quote, Told no worries will call back and arrange a time. No phone call, no show. Its the second time, First time round they came out took details and never sent the quote.

Nice big ad in the directory that says " for professional advice & personal service" but I advise you to skip it and call another business that offer at least a little bit of this
Don't waste your time with them.

Approximate cost: $5000.00

This review is for Sushimon, Coffs Harbour NSW

verified email - 26 Feb 2010

good sushi, They have an offer of 2 rolls for $5.00 Previous week I ordered 6 rolls $15.00. This week I order the same, cost $17.00, explanation it is 2 for $5.00 but if you order 6 it is2 x 3 rolls for $8.50 so the total is $17.00. I said you have to be kidding how did you work that out, she says, no that is what is written down I don't know why. I say forget it and walk out never to return, kinda sux really cause I didn't mind the food. Spoke to friends about it and they just realized they were getting the extra charge and so have decided to stop eating there as well.
Sushimon either have a stupid concept for a restaurant or cant add up. Hopefully they can't add up and rectify this. so as a rating I say terrible experience, the staff person on this day were unhelpful and could not understand what I was talking about.

I've taken my work vehicle here quite a few times for its annual inspection and they always find something wrong with it in order to complete the inspection. Lucky for me they are extremely thorough when checking a vehicle. They are really keen to keep unroadworthy vehicles off the road.

This review is for Gloria Jeans, Coffs Harbour NSW

Gloria jeans is a standard for coffee. No matter which Gloria jeans you buy from they all taste the same. You are always guaranteed a good quality coffee. This one is located at the south side of coffs harbour and is great when coming into town

This review is for Cold Rock Ice Creamery, Coffs Harbour NSW

My kids love this place. The idea of getting icecream and smashing lollies into it excites them to no end. I enjoy going here just for that, although my wallet is a bit thinner from the experience,

This review is for Molly Malone's Seafood, Coffs Harbour NSW

My family eat here a fair bit and the food is OK. The family have gotten to the stage where they wait for the right person to serve them as if you get the wrong person you get the smallest portion of food. Like the time when I ordered fish pieces and they were huge ..So the next time I ordered them thinking here we go and they were the smallest pieces I have ever seen. I mean like the size of a gold fish, no sorry a goldfish would have been bigger, not even the size of a 20 cent piece. As for the pluto pups they are the most expensive thing on the menu, they are $5.65 each, even dearer than the easter shows prices. Unfortunately coffs still don't have a great...umm... ok.... good fish and chip shop and I have tried most of them, but be it as you will this is one of the better ones.

This review is for Wow Sight & Sound, Coffs Harbour NSW

I shop here every now and then when I need something quick and can't wait for delivery off the Internet (Internet is always cheaper than anywhere in Coffs Harbour) The staff are reasonably knowledgeable. The store looks fantastic. The security guard at the front is little off putting, but I suppose that's the way society is these days
