Don't be fooled by the location of this place - it may be a home-based accupuncture clinic, but it is very professional and provides a great service. The accupuncturist fixed the pain in my back within two consultations. This business is also recognised by my health insurance provider, making health fund claims an easy process. The accupuncturist follows safe procedures, and I felt very comfortable going there, unlike some other home-based places. I highly recommend this place to those who are looking for alternative remedies.

This is a tiny, unknown restaurant located in a small corner of the Dickson Shopping Centre precinct. Despite their small stature, MK's offers a Vietnamese experience unlike any other in Canberra. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the head chef sure knows how to make a mean Pho (Vietnamese Beef Rice Noodles). Not only is the food delicious, but the prices are affordable for even a university student.

I would have given this place 5 stars for quality if it I was only comparing Vietnamese restaurants in Canberra, because it is simply the best in Canberra, but compared to places in Melbourne and Sydney, it can only rate 4 stars.
