I've used on line services, few other florist, but this one is the winner. Love their selection, layout ,pretty much everything about this place.

But most of all, I can walk in and say 'Hey, my mum loved the flowers you picked for me the last time, could you pick something new for me again' and walk out satisfied.

Love the service you get from this place. If you're in need for fresh quality flowers and you're around this area, then this florist won't let you down.

I cut quite close this mother's day, I'm going to make a note to myself not to leave my mothers' day shopping til the last moment.

GREAT florist! recommended

You see I love to shop when the gentleman is around. Whenever I'm buying my lotto tickets or other times when I'm spending more than 10 bucks, the owner always rounds it off, so I don't get $3.95 for change. Instead he'd give me 2 $2 coins. (nobody likes getting back a whole bunch of coins, especially 5 cent coins, I hate those)

He's also awesome to have a quick chat to. Real friendly guy. However the young female in her 20's, don't really respond to 'have a good weekend' or 'you have a nice one'. No 'good luck' or 'you have a good one too' like the owner.

I still love giving this place the business because I know the owner gets the chi-ching in the end.

Yes just like any other news agencies, your pens and drinks aren't going to be cheap, but you already knew that.

Had my les paul repaired here.
I was offered a great quote, seem to carry many schematics, we were able to ask for minor adjustments to our les paul set up.

Love the polishing work they did on it, and great flexibility with their discount, discount on the string for having our guitar repaired.

Strings although could be quite pricey for guitar and bass, hybrid slinky was priced quite a bit higher than what we usually get.

These guys only deal guitars and basses mainly as their name suggests. I did enjoy the company of the gentleman who seems to own the business. He dresses, and looks much younger than his age.

You can also ask them to try your guitar before you take it home. Overall we were very happy with the price and the service.

Wow, ok I don't know where to begin.

These guys stock a wide range of instruments, they've got an acoustic guitar priced at $98 (no not those cheap quality ones you find at your department store, but a 'good' starter guitar) they've also a large range of wind and brass insturments. They do have PA and amps but mainly more of those analogue, tube amps. If you're looking fore more digital products like certain behringer models, you may find better stores.

Anyhow, they also offer 1 on 1 lessons. the interesting thing here is that I was told that if I buy an instrument here, I can take lessons for half price. Starting from $20. Now I didn't get the chance to ask if that $20 dollar was after the 50% discount (this is more likely, 30 min lessons for guitar usually goes for 30~55 dollars)

They also repair instruments, I originally visited this place to have my instrument repaired but didn't get the kind of quote that I wanted.

Staff definitely are experienced, I could tell that they knew what they were talking about .

I'd say this place offers quite a value across their range (for most not all) I'd love to give you and idea on their wind instruments but I don't know too much about them.

One of the 2 best instrument stores in this area. I'd recommend. I think they seem to give discounts for churches so ask around.

OPEN ON SUNDAYS omg !

This review is for NSW Police, Merrylands NSW

My experiences with the police in the past has always been pleasant until this Friday afternoon.

A female officer was overly hostile and rude. I did not understand why, I made it clear to her that I feel uncomfortable with her tone, then she gave me some lame excuses.

I feel that very selective few officers do not have a great people skill and are out to intimidate people.

Other than that they've always been excellent and nice.

I've already picked up my take away lunch menu, but their tempura vegie caught my attetion at $2.50.

When I stopped to order one, katsudon also caught my attention so I bought that for my brother since it was only $7.50.

Now the lady who served me was extremely rude. I was all smiles, and was extra nice (as I always am, real nice way to get extra stuff, or even discounts) but the lady didn't smile back, not even once, when I changed my pick from ebidon to katsudon she was extremely annoyed, I apologised and joked about it, apparently jokes and apologies are not welcome here.

even though things are priced cheap, they're quite low quality, tempura was just oily as, it felt like I ordered 'heap of oil with some tempura on top'

I'd never return to this store.

I love picking up games from big W. They've always got their 'we'll beat em price' policy. Find the cheapest stocked new games, (many retailers have special low price for the first week or two)

Just walk right in, quote the store and price and voila ! even lower price games for you !

Their other stocks are great too but I mainly shop games here.

They do some of the best marinated meat. Yes slightly expensive, but their marinate is always so great. They also do their own sausages, extremely unique, I don't know what actually goes in them but they taste darn good.

Now the marinate shows consistency but at times the meat gets a little tough, I'd love to have a better consistency with the meat quality. (still they're better than most others)

They occasionally have chicken marinate on special, they are an absolute blast ! a must try !

Quite consistent with their quality of the meat, I'm happy to shop from here.

What makes this place awesome is the free delivery for order for 80+. It can get tricky to get the time right for the both parties but sometimes you just don't have enough time to walk in to grab your meat when you know exactly what you're getting. (Though, this is limited to North Shore areas only, call before hand)

I've had my hiccups, with their inconsistency, but MOSTLY they're quite alright.

I like Korean BBQ, but only if they're using quality meat and are 'all you can eat'.

Now until I visited this place I did not know that 'all you can eat' was more important to me than 'quality'. I've walked out of other places with bad quality bbq but this was different.

You get barely nothing (in my opinion) for what you pay for. I just don't see any value here. I will not return to this place for anything.

Staff were okay in terms of service but nothing special.
