Visited on the weekends, was quite packed, took an effort and a half to get some decent seats for the party of 4, but I say it was worth it. Quality of the food served was decent, good pricing too.

Staff are real friendly here!
Had a blast.
Okay now to the pizzas, I think they were great, but surprisingly I'd had better up in north shore. It's not like their pizzas were lacking, generous toppings and all, but not quite enough to take that no. 1 spot for me.

This review is for New Yen Yen Supermarket, Chatswood NSW

Okay, when you think of Asian grocers you immediately associate them with 'narrow, packed isles, distinct scent'

The isles aren't exactly narrow compared to some of the other places I've seen.

I'm not too familiar with all of their stocks so can't really say relative pricing, but they seem to have a variety of stock. Grabbed some beverages from here.

Not exactly 'cheap', but great taste and decent proportion.

To be honest of all, I enjoyed the great view. I think I'd be visiting again for dinner, I'm sure the view would be absolutely beautiful at night, and for that I'm willing to pay slightly more.

I'm not too sure if I'd be having lunch here again, but definitely be trying dinner the next time.

This review is for Strand Espresso, Sydney NSW

Alright! Finally had the chance to try this place out.
I thought the coffee was quite good, not the best I've ever had, but none the less 'good'.

Quite a decent pricing too. Service was satisfactory, electronic payment only kinda put a dent on the service for me. Luckily for me I've been warned before.

I wouldn't mind having another cup of coffee here again.

This review is for New Shanghai Restaurant, Chatswood NSW

Someone mentioned earlier that they liked the tiny dumplings here. I think they're okay, but feel that they do not offer value. For the price you pay you could grab a decent meal around Chatswood, and tip the leftover to the service staff.

I did like the fact that hot food were served hot.

With all fairness, I don't usually enjoy authentic mainland chinese dishes too much. I prefer the slightly westernised versions of them.

With that said, I did not greatly enjoy the food. My dad on the other hand was loving the food. He knew exactly what to order, dumplings and steamed vegies in what looked like soy sauce of some sort. Again I thought they were expensive, I would personally prefer fresh greens at that price range.

Service was sub-standard. Granted it was a little busy, but I've seen plenty other places where they were even more under staffed and provided far superior services.

Not exactly the place I'd recommend for my friends, but I know my dad brings everyone and anybody there, believe me that's how I ended up there.

This review is for Sea Life Sydney Aquarium, Sydney NSW

Love the aquarium.
Usually a good place to take a tourist friend.
It's not as exciting for me anymore that I've been here a dozen and a half times.

Great venue to visit as a family or to take a tourist friend.

This review is for 62 Rokujuni, Sydney NSW

verified email - 15 Sep 2012

Okay so Rokujuni is simply 62 in Japanese, seemed pretty authentic, in the midst of all the fake Japanese sushi train joints (trust me majority of them wants you to think they're Japanese run when they're not)

Their sushi is a little more on the contemporary/ fusion style then the authentic/traditional, but that doesn't mean that they're bad.

I do stay away from dishes revolving around which cost more than $4~5. There' are plenty of dishes at around $3, which taste just fine. If I were to spent $6 on a plate, I'd rather go to a real sushi joint pay 3~4 extra dollars and have the freshest Sydney has to offer.

Anywho, considering that you pick dishes below 5 dollars, this place does offer great tasting contemporary fusion sushi.

I'd most definitely recommend that you check this place out at least once.

This review is for Chat Thai, Sydney NSW

Great value, decent taste Thai food.

I visited here twice now, first time was quite great, I visited during a more quiet hours, service was pretty fast, food was great, thought it was pretty value.

Second visit, it was packed during lunch time on a weekday, I was a little bit frustrated, people were like zombies, I'm not even kidding, I don't think it was the business' fault. Food was greater in quality the first visit.

I'd love to see a little bit more of consistency from this place, however, it's still a great place to eat. I'd however, avoid if they seem real busy, there are so many other place to eat around city.

Don't get me wrong I'd still recommend this place.

This review is for Mizuya Japanese Restaurant And Karaoke, Sydney NSW

Oh boy this place is great aesthetically.
Recently had my birthday here. Was a great and an UNIQUE experience. I'm sure they've spent a fortune on this place.

Food was quite good, pretty authentic.
Karaoke wise, didn't have many of the songs we wanted to sing, but to be fair, we were expecting a little too much of the new stuff. See I'm a fan of yeezy and weezy, didn't really expect that from first place so it was all good. (If you're not sure who Yeesy and Tunechi is this place is probably perfect for your karaoke needs)

Now the price, this did surprise me a little, we over did a little with the food and drinks but the bill was larger than what I anticipated.

Still a great experience. I'd recommend.
