Menu is very extensive, and everything always looks really tasty. I like their bento sets which are great value for about $12-14 with a selection of different foods so you get to try a bit of everything. Price-wise, it's quite good value overall, with most dishes around the $10 range. Decor is nice and modern and the tables are quite big and spacious.

Approximate cost: $10

Of the froyo stores on george street, this one has the best flavour selection- with all the usual suspects plus some really unique flavours like red velvet. Price-wise, it usually turns out a little cheaper than other DIY froyo places for us, and they also do great promotions every day.

I'm always confused as to why there's so little people at Noggi in comparison to other nearby froyo places (Yoghurtland, Yogurberry etc) as the frozen yoghurt there is pretty good- we like that it's nice and creamy! Only downside is that they only have 4 flavours to choose from, but the ones available generally pretty good (we like the green tea one the best!). When it's a little busier it can be hard to get a seat since there's not many in the store, but it's generally not too much of a problem. Service is nice and friendly.

Service was great as there was no one around when we stopped by early afternoon. We liked the choice of flavours which were slightly different from other froyo places. Only downside is the lack of seating which means you'll have to walk a bit to find somewhere to eat or eat it whilst walking

We tried out this yoghurt place and quite enjoyed it. We found it extremely similar to yogurberry, but with less people which was nice. They have less flavours but the ones we tried were pretty good. They also have a much wider range of toppings than any other yoghurt place we've tried!

The restaurant was quite busy on the night we dropped by (Tuesday) with every table being full, which may partly be because of the number of groupons it runs. As such, they seemed a little understaffed so service was a little slower than we'd liked. Nevertheless, the food was great, and portions were very generous and reasonably priced. We especially loved the deep fried fish, which was fried beautifully and topped in a tasty (and not too spicy) red curry sauce.

Does a decent yum cha which is pretty cheap. It offers a large range of dim sums, with some quite creative ones from time to time and some you'll rarely find at other yum cha places in sydney (like turtle jelly!). I love the salt and pepper soft shell crab they sometimes have. Dinner is so-so, and most of the dishes are a hit and miss, though their specials are quite attractive. Their lobster special definitely one of the cheapest in Sydney and when cooked with ginger and shallots, tastes pretty good!

This review is for T&J Fresh Sushi, Ultimo NSW

It's a nice small Japanese restaurant in the Quadrant. Prices are decent, and they're got a good range of foods to choose from. I tried the Katsu ramen, which are pieces of deep fried crumbed pork ribs in a slightly spicy ramen. The pork was delicious- deep fried til golden brown and amazingly crispy despite sitting in the soup. The ramen was nothing amazing, though enjoyable. They have cute bottles of homemade soy sauce in cute bottles which we almost mistook as coke!

This review is for Cosmo Coffee, Castle Hill NSW

Came here not expecting much, but we were absolutely amazed at the quality!! We're not huge coffee fans but we really enjoyed the coffee- not too bitter, but with a really pleasant and strong coffee taste. We ordered the pesto pasta which was cooked beautifully, and a huge serving, we almost couldn't finish it! The steak sandwich is presented beautifully on a board, with a cute basket of fries- the waitress tells me its one of their most popular options, and its not hard to see why!! Definitely my favorite steak sandwich in Castle Hill- the flavours are just right, and the steak is cooked to perfection. The prices are surprisingly low, and service was great!

This review is for Orient Hotel, The Rocks NSW

We came here for dinner in the restaurant upstairs. The bar was quite noisy, and there was a party going on outside so we were quite relieved to find that the sound-proofing was done quite well as it was surprisingly quiet once you get into the restaurant. There wasn't much service, and the food came out very slowly, but most of the food was cooked quite well and was enjoyable.

Approximate cost: $30
