This is my favourite malaysian restaurant in the north west/Hills area. I have been coming here since the early 90s. Best Hainan chicken rice I’ve had in Sydney. Other dishes I highly recommend are Istana Prawns, Lemongrass Pork, KL Black Hokkien Mee (the best in Sydney), Wat Tan Hor and their homemade tofu.

I would rate this restaurant 3.5 stars. I heard that new management took over this restaurant over a year ago. I got takeaway a few days ago and have noticed that the portion size is considerable smaller now than before new management. The massamum beef was delicious and melt in the mouth. Chicken cashew nut was also delicious. Panang chicken was average and soft shell crab while delicious the portion size was very small.

This is one of my regular restaurants I get takeaway from. I drive 20 minutes here to get my takeaway because the food is delicious. Love their satay chicken and their noodle dishes. Highly recommend. The price is also reasonable and serving size is good.

Approximate cost: $17

I have been getting takeaways from here for the past 20 years. The food is always freshly cooked, delicious and never too oily. Raymond gives the best service and is always polite and friendly. Our favourites are Szechuan beef, Satay Chicken, Do Combination Omelette and their fried rice. Oh, and also their spring rolls.

This is my local go to restaurant when I'm too lazy to cook. I've been getting takeaway from here for 15 years now. The food is good comfort food, reasonably priced and Raymond at the counter is always friendly. He remembers the regulars and provide great service.

I was there on a Saturday night. It wasn't very busy. We had the surf and turf and T-bone steak. The steaks were cook exactly to our order and it was very tender. Loved the prawns in the surf and turf but the calamari rings could have been cooked a little bit more. The batter was a little underdone and soggy. Serving size was good and prices reasonable. I would definitely dine at this restaurant again if I was in the area.

This review is for Jags Ristorante, Bella Vista NSW

Tucked away hidden in a row of shops among homes in Bella Vista. I wouldn't have known this place existed if not for the Entertainment Book. It's located in a courtyard and you can either sit inside or our. It's a nice location for families with young children. The food is good with a good variety on the menu. We had pizzas and pastas and there was nothing to complain about. It's on the pricey side but with the Entertainment Book, it was reasonable. Remember to book though because it does get very packed on Fridays and weekends. If you go in a group and if you sit inside it does feel a little cramp because of the way the tables are set out. It's a small restaurant and they try to maximize the use of their space.

I've been here a few times. It's a very small restaurant. The food is average but it's convenient for us to get here and parking is easy so that's why we come back here often. Nasi goreng is my favorite dish here. Char Kway teow is average and does not have wok hei. Laksa is alright too. Wat ton hor is average but I wouldn't order the mee goreng again. Service gets freindier once they see that you are a regular.

Yum Cha is way overpriced. Food is standard Yum Cha fare. Not much variety either. I been there for dinner once and it was ok. The service when I was there wasn't very friendly.

She has been my mum's hairdresser for years and I thought I would give her a try a year ago and I've never looked back. She is good at listening to exactly what the customer wants. So if you don't want your hair cut too short make sure to tell her how many cms you want taken off.
