Slightly small tables and small pit. I'm not so sure I'd go back.
Seems like this is a place you come to just get drunk. I'm not even sure if they've the full license.

Doesn't really cater for non Koreans, they try yes, but sometimes trying isn't good enough.

They do some AWESOME marinated beef, crispy sweet chilli chicken pieces, and cold noodle !

Wow, I was actually amazed at how well they do some of their dishes. Usually Charcoal BBQ's don't really do great menu, they offer value, do one or two things right, and the rest are for the show.

little bit on the steep side, but I'd go back for more.
You'll get the charcoal and marinate smell on your clothes and hair, so be prepared, and I hope you're not travelling by public transport on your way home.

This review is for Chatswood Korean Charcoal BBQ, Chatswood NSW

Where do I begin.
They do lunch and dinner buffet separately.

Lunch menu consists of a number of light dishes, many Korean and Chinese dishes. Dinner is your usually Korean charcoal BBQ.

Lunch buffet, is not a value, the meals are greasy, cheap, and offer little range. The only thing worth eating, fried chickens come out every 30~40 min or so. When it does come out people line up to grab as many as they can, and a low of jawing happens. Terrible experience.

They should know better to have more chickens as they're the only 'buffet dish' that people are actually looking forward to get. Less than a dozen to choose from during lunch.

Dinner BBQ. Meat aren't exactly quality, especially the marinated ones, since they're marinated and hard to tell the quality of the meat by sight, they seem to substitute some of the more expensive meat with the cheaper part of the moo.
I've been going to Korean BBQ ever since I was 9 I know what they're meant to taste like, and I don't appreciate switcheroos.

Service is despicable, the owner will get ANGRY and FROWN at you if you pay separately. he was so annoyed that we gave him business.

I'd Avoid this place like a plague. Asks for too much $$$ for what they offer, they used to be 'alright'

Dishes that they served seem of quite high quality and okay in portion. Usually Korean places don't really serve up 'huge portions' and if they do, they fill it up with cheap ingredients, but I didn't get that feeling here.

People mainly go here to drink, and grab a side to go with their drink, that's the Korean drinking culture. Now I don't really like the food that they usually grab, with drinks, and seeing as how I walked in to grab a meal, it really didn't work out for me.

They also have a back yard area for smokers, who can dine and eat.

I think many would find this place to be quite awesome, just not for me though.

This review is for Drunken Rice, Sydney NSW

Offering unique set of Korean dishes, Druken rice is a great place to enjoy a drink. Their spirits and rice wines are 'dirt cheap' priced at $5 and $7 per small bottle.

I think you get 7 shots out of $5 mini bottle, insanely cheap! you'd go to a club or a bar, one shot costs more than that.

Now I didn't particularly like my dishes, I don't think they were done poorly but rather, I don't like the style of food which were served up.

Staff, although the owner seem to care, the rest of the staff didn't seem all so interested, had that 'I'm doing a chore' look on their face all the time.

You may want to visit, if you're after a cheap Korean drink, relatively new, only been open for about a month.

This review is for Dell Computers, Frenchs Forest NSW

Let me tell you a thing or two about Dell.
1st the company does not offer value (WORST VALUE)
2nd they use 1 or 2 'mainstream' components to 'boast' the rest are all generic.

This company appears to offer a great value superficially by highlighting some of the expensive main components of the computer that they use, and by not stating other generic components.

For a great example, many users aren't aware of the importance the mother board and the ram plays.
Motherboard is highly important in speed and, stability. Poorly made generic motherboards do not last, and they do not bring your high end cpu's performance to it's optimum level.

Their ram's are generic, and you get sooo much less than what you'd get with other laptops. Let me give you an example of this, to run Windows7 you need 4g + ram (to run the OS at a level that doesn't compromise performance). lots of models only offer 2g from dell, and that is a lemon.

PSU for desktops are generic, and that is a no no. Generic, no , if you're not using one of the top 3 brands for psu, you won't be getting a constant flow of electricity, and that can dmg your other components.

Yes they do include 'the latest cpu' and 'gpu', but we live in an era where moderately high end cpu no longer cost 800~1000.

Service is an absolute horror. You'd return, the laptop, it would break in 2~3 months, send it again, repeat and rinse.

Worst value.
A shoddy business trying to trick those who are not adapt with computers into thinking their products are quality and into paying way more than what they should be paying.

These guys offer a great range of products at a very competitive price ( not the best, but way better than most retailers)

Sometimes it's insanely hard to get a help from a staff, some of them aren't very knowledgeable but wont' tell you that 'they don't know'.

I'd rather appreciate it if they just told me straight out that they weren't sure instead of wasting my time.

Other than that, they're fantastic. I've yet to have a major problem with them.

Things are going to be over priced, computers, accessories, peripherals, you name it they're expensive.

What makes me really annoyed and avoid this shop is that the workers here are push overs, what I mean by that is, they are walking around to put a simple number/sticker on the product you've picked up so that they get the commission or hit their monthly target, when I didn't get any help from them.

I've had times when I told them 'it's ok I know what I'm getting' the dude, just tells me 'let me have a look at that' and snatches the printer ink off me, puts his commission number. RUDE and way OVER HIS LINE.

I've had no choice but to shop from here, occasionally to grab my 'brother' brand ink, since not all retailers stock them. (and I'd only use these guys in emergency) However now we've got a hp and a cannon, we won't be shopping here EVER AGAIN

My friend works here, all the staff I've met so far are quite friendly and are helpful. I've never had anyone just trying to sell me stuff. No I don't get a discount, they've got a policy where employees can only get discounts for their own shoe size.

All staff wear what's being sold in store, so don't hesitate to walk in and ask.

A local paper company. They write up about things that go around our local community, from school life to election matters.

While the papers aren't exactly a great read all of the times, their classified ads definitely brings result. I'm not sure if they're charging more than other services, but we've definitely got more than what we paid for.

Great place to place your ads if you've got a small business around the area.
