I come here to buy pet products for my puppy Jack Russell! I get his toys, shampoos, clothes all from here. I also get his worming tablets and flea control items here too.

The price is reasonable. I have not had any problems with their items and my dog has never had fleas. It might be the products they have (but then I've never tried any other products).

They give great advice for looking after my dog. They usually get a new range of dog toys every few weeks and I tend to spoil my dog with them.

The senior hair dresser is very professional. I've been here once and was very satisfied. I asked for a hair cut that would suit me and told them to do whatever they thought would suit me best. My friends have been here before so I knew they'd do a good job. and to no surprise, I had an awesome style cut! :)

It was blow dried and styled too. It definitely exceeded my expectations.

The only down side is the price. Im a uni student so the final cost was a blow to my little budget. I would like to go back but I cannot afford it right now. The service here was top notch. No complaints on that aspect.

They do recommend alot of products and really insist that you buy them. Bit hard to turn them down but i really had to.

This place has a very bizarre/creepy ambience. It's DARK. the owner does not seem to want to turn on the lights and the store front makes it a very scary place to go to. Looks very run down with the windows boarded up. but people have told me the $2 milkshakes are really good.

I have to agree. There are chocolate bars on sale but you can get them from your local supermarket. Just go for the milkshakes. I wouldn't stay to sit and chat though. be quick.

Definitely wouldn't go back. Just the thought of it is somewhat daunting and gloomy. I would recommend people should go their just once, so they can tell people about its strangeness. it has all its original signage from years ago. Used to be a very busy trade back in the 1950s.

Approximate cost: $2

This review is for Indulgence Cafe & Chocolatery, Chatswood NSW

This is a very cosy cafe. More of a family environment than a couples-romantic cafe.

I had hand dipped chocolate strawberries. This wasn't the best that i've had but the ambience of the place really topped it off for me. There are the latest magazines on the tables for you to flip through. It's a nice place to hang out with the girls and to catch up over some nice dessert and coffee. The mocha is made with real chocolate.

I've been here once and would definitely come back for the ambience but it's location makes it very inconvenient for me. I live nowhere near Chatswood.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Ice & Slice, Newtown NSW

As the name suggests gelato and pizza are the house speciality. Went there on a saturday night with my partner. The place was pretty quiet. Got confused about the whole ordering system (order at the front then sit down). Got the margarita which was absolutely perfect (loved the fresh basil and tomato slices).

We came for the ice-cream specifically as I am a major ice cream fanatic! we ordered 4 scoops and tasted fresh. Strange way to describe ice-cream but it honestly tasted so icey but creamy still that I thought it came straight from the ice cream machine! very impressed!! The rose flavour was my favourite of the night as it was strong but well infused into the ice-cream. The best rose ice cream I've ever had!!! :D

A bonus is that they let you try before you buy using little plastic sample spoons which they give you. I had to restrain myself from trying allll their flavours just in case I looked like a nutcase.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Bach Dang, Canley Vale NSW

This place is very expensive but my parents are good friends with the owners so we get quite a big discount from the menu prices. The food here is very nice, especially the seafood. It's very fresh - they have a fish tank with fresh seafood and you get to choose which one you want to eat. Kind of cruel though?

There is a bit of a wait but that's expected seeing as everything is done from scratch. You know the food will be fresh so the wait is fine with me. (waits of up to 30minutes)

Tea is on the house.

The decor is very nice - lots of weddings are held here on weekend nights so it gets quite busy. I suggest if you want to eat here, have lunch here instead or dinner, but only on weeknights.

Due to the price, the only reason I do come here is because of the discounts we get.

Approximate cost: $up to $50

This review is for Blue Heaven, Canley Vale NSW

The trading hours of this ice-cream bar is quite variable. It's really quite hit and miss when you drive by for ice-cream.

I usually get 2 scoops of the green tea ice-cream. I'm yet to find a place in western sydney that serves up such nice green tea ice cream! The flavour is strong which is how I like it. Some of my friends have saids its too strong.

You can have mixed flavours or even share ice-cream between a few friends with their 8-9 scoop options. The decor is all blue - as suggested by the name.

I don't hang around here for long - usually just long enough to finish the ice-cream because the people that stay here don't fit my crowd. Alot of smokers and potential trouble makers. (maybe just my stereotyping).

There is a parking lot right across the street so parking is never a problem.

And sometimes, if i'm up for it, I'll order a the seafood basket too or a basket of wedges with sweet chilli sauce and sour cream. Freshly made and very crunchy.

Approximate cost: $5

This review is for Ambrosia, Randwick NSW

There is nothing special about this place. I used to really like the salads from here but with the new management, the salads are starting to look duller and duller. They seem to be focussing more on the coffee and burgers which is a good compromise.

They do have quite a large coffee menu, all reasonable priced. Serivce is quick as the baristas really know what they are doing. Good place to pop in for morning hit of coffee before work. I don't really come here for the food.

My friend seems to really like the tabouli here but I'm not a fan of tabouli in general.

This is a great restaurant, I have been many times and have found the food and service to be very good. The staff are prompt and always ready to help you with anything. Their english isn't that great -but that adds to the authenticity right? haha

The metal chopsticks were different to me but Korean friends have told me that this quite the norm for Koreans.

The decor is pretty standard. It's a nice place for casual dinner with friends or family. Nothing too formal.

Approximate cost: $%15-20

This review is for 707 Sushi And Salad Buffet, Strathfield NSW

verified email - 21 Oct 2009

ur of us tried lunch buffet ($38 per person). Entree was very good but little bit salty for me, mains (various rolls and sushi) were mediocre and desserts were forgettable. As advertised, request for refill was accepted at no extra charge. Some decorations are quite good, but those military photos are absolutely kill off. The waitress was very attentive and the service was excellent. Overall, this place is ok for casual sushi lovers but not for connoisseurs.

Approximate cost: $38
