This review is for Jonga Jip, Eastwood NSW

I love Jonga Jip's Korean BBQ! They are getting popular over the years so you need to make a booking if you want to reserve a seating. It can get smokey inside however they opened the back up, where the BBQ is actually booked by charcoal - which is better than the grill I feel. They give 10 side dishes which is a lot compared to other places. Their meats are a bit more pricey than the rest, however the taste is just beautiful, especially on charcoal! They also opened another branch in Eastwood, opposite the train station, but I prefer the original branch better.

This review is for Ronald Crisp Jewellers, Sydney NSW

Ron is an exceptional craftsman. It really is a pleasure working with him. He is easy going, good natured jeweller who never tries to hard sell you. His many years of experience really shows through him knowledge of diamonds and gemstones. He is fast, efficient and the price is also very competitive. With added lifetime warranty, and generally a great person, you cannot go wrong with Ron!

The lady who helped me (of Asian ethnicity) was very friendly and helpful. I told her what I wanted for and she made sure I came out of the shop with what I wanted. She didn't appear pushy and her advice was very useful. I was very pleased.

Great experience at Bunnings Norwest. I went in asking for some perspex however the helpful guy told me I am better off to get glass instead as it's cheaper and told me where I can get cut offs. He also told me about free trailer hire which I had no idea of either. I appreciate it very much.

This review is for Bunnings Warehouse, Carlingford NSW

verified email - 12 Oct 2012

I find Bunnings Carlingford to be quite poor over the phone assistance. I called up for a product (which Bunnings Auburn was able to assist within seconds), but I was actually put on hold with Bunnings Carlingford then transferred about 3 times and the phone cut out. They had no idea what I wanted. Every time I try to call, it takes so long to get picked up so I won't be going there any time soon.

This review is for Bunnings Warehouse, Auburn NSW

I have had such good experience with Bunnings Auburn. I called up late on Friday night asking for a product. The person on the phone was so helpful and he also told me the details of free trailer hire. When I went in on Saturday, the person who picked up my call remmebered me. I think his name is David? (Blond hair, early 30s?). He was very helpful and I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Excellent experience!

This review is for Abhi's Fine Indian Cuisine, North Strathfield NSW

verified email - 12 Oct 2012

It's situated in such a quite part of North Strathfield, which can be easily missed. The service is great, the waitesr are very attentive. Food is great also however a little pricey. Must try their popular "Master Chef dish". They are also on the Entertainment Card (which is handy) as well as part of Citibank Dining Program, which means if you spend over $50, you can get a bottle of free wine. A good night out!

This review is for Rhodes Seafood, Rhodes NSW

verified email - 11 Oct 2012

If you're in Rhodes doing shopping, give this take away a chance. The fish and chips are very cheap and value for money. Grill fish or the seafood mix is excellent. You can get half rice half salad if you don't like chips. $6 for fish and chips with a can of drink is good value. Be warned - lunch time queue is very long!

Approximate cost: $6

This review is for Ryo's Noodles, Crows Nest NSW

This is one of my favourite ramen place in Sydney. A thing that does deter me is due to the size of the shop (which is tiny), the wait is long and you have to share tables with strangers in a crowded space so definitely go early! The soup is lovely (my favourite is #4, #11) but a bit on the salty side. The shop doesn't open on Wednesdays either so must watch out if you do visit. There's limited rice balls available every day but it's not something spectacular so I wouldn't sweat it. But overall, a good homey ramen restaurant.

This review is for Tem Ichi Teppanyaki Sushi Restaurant, Parramatta NSW

I bought a voucher to this restaurant. Initially, our chef was quite good at cooking however he was not fancy nor interacted with the customers. However, I believe the table I was on were all voucher buyers so soon enough, the chef was replaced by what appears to be the owner. His attitude was atrocious - rushing in cooking, doesn't bother to throw the eggs to us. He said "you're adult, you don't need it". When he did throw it to the kids on the table, the egg missed their bowls and splashed everywhere. When the fried rice came out, the rice were all clumpy, which is a sign of old rice. When throwing the rice bowl over, he didn't care and the rice were splattered over everyone. The prawns were not fresh and 10 course meal - a fried prawn head was considered as a course, as well as a scoop of Homebrand ice cream. I will not be going back!
