I visited this restaurant with a woman of Austrian background who searches for good Austrian restaurants to bring her mother to. She enjoyed the food and the service was good. I myself have no real knowledge of German cuisine but I did enjoy the food and would gladly return.

Approximate cost: $20

I've had a few dinners here and I always find the food to be excellent. Nothing out of the ordinary but good food at reasonable prices. The staff are always friendly and helpful.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

This review is for Thai Foon, Sydney NSW

The location is great. The service is okay. The food is what you expect from a typical Thai restaurant, no worse, but no better, and at the price they charge you would expect that little extra which is not delivered. On average it is almost twice the price you would normally expect to pay. If you just want Thai in a great location and don't care what you pay, then give it a try.

This review is for Sumac Restaurant And Bar, Pyrmont NSW

The location is very good. The service was good. The food unfortunately didn't taste any different than your regular back yard barbecue. A little disappointing for the price, though it is probably worth another try. I wouldn't recommend it to my friends but I wouldn't try and stop them from dining there either.

This review is for Temasek Restaurant, Parramatta NSW

A true guide to any Asian restaurant is, do the Asians eat here? And the answer here is, most definitely. Saturday nights in particular, booking is essential. I have even seen this restaurant full at lunch time.
If you want to try good Singaporean and Malaysian food, I strongly recommend this restaurant. The laksa, char kway teow and curries are as authentic as you can get this side of Sentosa Island.

This review is for Mamak, Haymarket NSW

One of the best Malaysian restaurants around but the menu is a little small. It must be halal because I noticed there was no dishes which contained pork. Unfortunately, this includes char kway teow which is one of my favourite dishes. The curry is 100% authentic and delicious. Great food and fast service, once you finally get in.
I strongly recommend arriving at the beginning of service because the queue can be very long.

This review is for Kopitiam Cafe, Ultimo NSW

The service is very poor, the atmosphere is also a little lacking. A simple restaurant with a few Malaysian travel posters. I'm always sus on a business which only excepts cash but hey, I have no allegiance to the ATO. I'm married to a Singaporean and have spent some time there and in Malaysia and I must say the food was pretty close to what you get from the hawkers. The char kway teow in particular was very good. The rendang was dry, but it is a dry curry and the wife really like the mee goreng. The satay was good but a bit small.
Overall, I will return.

This review is for Ocean Foods, Drummoyne NSW

One of the best fish and chip shops in Sydney. A little dearer than most, comparable food at the fish markets is a little cheaper and because of it's popularity, service can be a little slow but overall, great fish and chips and I will and do, recommend it to others.

This review is for Thai Terrace, Pyrmont NSW

A very enjoyable experience. I usually find that the Thai food doesn't vary much from restaurant to restaurant, so it was a nice surprise to find a green curry that didn't taste like it was made from a jar of paste but you could taste all the spices and I loved the soft shell crab.
I'll definitely be going back.

This review is for Nick's Seafood Restaurant, Sydney NSW

verified email - 17 Sep 2010

Nick's serve a reasonable seafood platter. It could be a little bigger for the price. The service could be a little quicker. Unfortunately, once we were a given a crab on the platter which was obviously off but they did give us free desert and coffee as a consolation.
Overall, a good restaurant in which I have dined many times.

Approximate cost: $40
