This review is for Dr. Gabriel So, Cabramatta NSW

verified email - 11 Oct 2009

He is my family doctor for over 20 years. There is usually a bit of a wait when I come here which isn't that great because I'm usually ill when I'm here. He is very trustworthy and reliable.

I have put alot of trust on him over the years. He has moved recently to a nicer and newer practice which is excellent. The previous surgery was quite run down, inside and outside.

The receptionist is rude. Poor english and always yelling at patients in the waiting room.

The optometry clinic has some of the best equipment and optometrist in Sydney. I'm a regular patient here and the service is so good. You get your eyes examined by optometry students which is a nice experience and nice to know that you're helping them learn. It test does take a little while but go towards the end of the year, the students seem more competent then and things are quicker.

The test is free. I used to pay over $100 for some of these tests but I'm so glad that it's all free here. No complaints! If you buy glasses here too, you get a discount if you were examined by a student.

This review is for D2MG Hip Hop Academy, Sydney NSW

They have alot of dance styles being taught here - hip hop to breakdancing and many more. I used to be a regular here until I got too busy and couldn't find the time for class anymore. I used to take regular classes as well as casual classes whenever I felt like dancing.

The people here are so friendly and it's definitely a very social experience. The price is reasonable. I bought a 10 class pass which saved me some money.

The location is a bit tricky to find and the lift to level 8 looks very fragile but I've never had a problem.

Approximate cost: $15

Dr Druce takes so much care looking after my jack russell puppy. He gave my pup all the vaccinations he needed. He is gentle and gives the best advice on how to best look after my dog.

He is flexible. When I'm short on time, he is willing to push his schedule around so I can bring my dog in for a quick check-up. I buy my dog food here as well.

The clinic is kept immaculate despite having so many live-in dogs. Very impressed.

This review is for Giotto Gelato, Smithfield NSW

verified email - 11 Oct 2009

These guys have the best gelato around! They were reviewed by Good Weekend and Channel 7's Sunrise morning show. I come here with my other half on Sunday afternoons. The decor is very refreshing.

They have gelato and lots of smoothies and milk shake options too. I always go for their Gelato. Staff are very friendly. Plenty of parking because it's a residential area. It's still one of the best kept secrets in Smithfield.

They have photos of customers all along one wall. It's always nice to sit there and try to spot people you know.

This review is for Pizza Villa Restaurant, Cabramatta NSW

verified email - 11 Oct 2009

The pizzas here are so gourmet in a traditional wood-fired oven. There is a bit of a wait but this is absolutely expected as they make the pizza from scratch, when you make your order. :)

Once again, it's locality makes it easy to walk to in my PJ's and order pizza for a late night meal. The prices are reasonable, if not cheap for gourmet pizzas!

The Australian Pizza does have a strange taste initially, but the flavour really grows on you. Has to be one of my fav's right now.

You can take-away or dine in. There is enough seating inside to enjoy your pizza. There are windows but they are all shut - which is a good thing because you don't want to share your pizza with the traffic fumes of Woodville Road.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Rashay's Cafe And Restaurant, Liverpool NSW

I almost always get the chicken schnitzel or boscaiola pasta. Both are reasonable price because the servings are quite large.

I ordered a steak once, asking for well done. First slice through the side and it was bloody. Not happy about that. I asked for it to be redone and waitress was very friendly but it came back dry as a bone.

The waitresses were very friendly, coming by every now and then checking if we are happy with the meals. However, towards the end of our meals, when we want the dessert menu or want to pay the bill, they seem to be nowhere in sight.

They have their own parking so get a parking spot is never a problem. Nice to come here on Friday nights, full of life with so many people. They have alcoholic milkshakes!! Yum.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Kim's Chemist, Cabramatta NSW

verified email - 11 Oct 2009

Ask for Kim when she's in - it's just nice being able to deal directly with the store owner. Otherwise, all the other ladies working there are just as friendly. The store is always buzzing - filled with workers, buyers and a very friendly chatter.

I don't come as often anymore because I have moved and have my own local chemist now but I've been coming here for over 15 years. Their prices are competitive so you know you're getting a good deal when you get your medicine here.

They are also very helpful with the asthma puffer machines - helps set-up and helps repair them if needed.

What I really don't like it its location. It's in the prime area of Cabramatta so finding a parking spot (even just for 5 minutes to pick up my prescription) is very tiring. Gets me so worked up.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Moradok, Fairfield NSW

verified email - 11 Oct 2009

I come here with parents when we don't feel like cooking at home. It's locality makes it easy to just pop in for dinner when we want. Don't need bookings during weekdays as they aren't that busy. Weekends, you may want to call ahead to save yourself the wait for a table.

I always get one of the curries with sticky rice. They look like small servings but are very filling. I do wish they would put some fish on the menu though (like Snapper etc).

Ambience is poor. The place is very noisy - you pretty much need to shout to talk to the people you are with and it's very hard to get the waiter's attention.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Coffee On Campus, Kensington NSW

verified email - 11 Oct 2009

I just but coffee from here during long days at uni. They don't taste absolutely fantastic but the caffeine hit is all I'm after anyway.

The food options aren't that great here.

Service is good. Bit of a wait sometimes but that's because it's a very busy place. Can't blame them. Plenty of seating area, indoors and outdoors, very nice to catch my breath whilst at uni.

Approximate cost: $4
