I have been going there for over 20 years and still love the place and the food. The family that run the place have been there forever and make everyone feel at home. What more could you want.

Benjarong Thai has been back in Bondi Junction for a couple of months and has made a very good impression on the locals.

On this visit we were with one of two very large groups in the restaurant. The service was pretty fast considering the number of patrons enjoying dinner and there being only one staff member serving!

The restaurant could do with some more decorations and some heating, however, the food is excellent. One highlight is the Volcanic chicken. It is a whole small bird which has a wonderful flavour that penetrated every part of the chicken.

I'd also recommend the Veal supreme (braised veal with ginger and onions in coconut milk) and the Vegetable tarts as an entree. Hopefully the restaurant will start accepting credit card payments in the near future so we can go back more often.

The Jazz here is excellent. The restaurant is a tiny little place. Service is warm and friendly. The food we tried was average. Not a big fan of the green tea pannacotta. The Japanese lemonade was a fun drink to try. Overall we liked the Jazz more than the food but would stop by again on a Jazz night!

Response from Management:
Thank you for giving us your review and glad you've liked jazz night.
Foods are very very Japanese home dinner style and our 40% of customers are Japanese people, maybe you'd prefar westurn style of Japanese food which I may have to consider as new menu in future.
Again, thank you for your comment.

I bought a peanut butter cupcake from the Chatswood Ghermez store. It was absolutely terrible! The cupcake was very small compared to the size of others I have had at different boutique cupcake stores. The icing was disastrous on multiple accounts. Firstly the cake to icing ratio was wrong with only a small amount of icing. The Icing was tasteless, air filled and a very unpleasant texture.

The cake itself was extremely dry and only had a hint of peanut butter taste. Take my advice, Save yourself the time, money and effort, do not bother visiting Ghermez!

Hubs, mini me and I went here to have a quick feed here before catching a movie. Had the sizzling prawns and the trio dips. Prawns weren't at all special. Too much oil and the garlic taste hadn't clinged onto the prawns as you would have expected. Liked the dips though. Best part of the meal was the marinated chargrilled lamb pizza. Pizza base was nice, but a little thin towards the middle.

We absolutely loved how they cooked their lamb on the pizza, just the way we liked it. We also tried the oven baked swirls. Lovely, warm and doughy. Goes down well with a coffee. All enjoyed while sitting on the sunkissed overlooking balcony. Oh and they also have a kids menu, which is a good thing when your kids aren't all that adventurous with their food.

Food is top notch, couldn't put a foot wrong. Kelly's have one of the best ribs and steak combo's in Sydney! The sauce on the ribs is absolutely delicious, the baby back ribs are fall off the bone and are very meaty.

The location and views are exquisite, you can usually see the Harbour Bridge wherever you sit. Service is probably a bit patchy, which is probably due to the staff turnover or the volume of customers.

Price isn't too bad compared to some other restaurants in Sydney that offer the same food but of lesser volume and quality. My group of friends and I make it a must visit place at least once every few months.

I was not happy with the quality of the massage. The person kept leaving the room and didn't seem to be trying hard. Didn't do some things to both left and right sides, and all in all I felt like I only got a half hour not an hours worth.

The premises are Extremely cramped, you share a room with a stranger only 15cm from you (with a curtain). This didn't bother me too much if it was a great massage but... Nice music. They forgot to bring me tea. After waiting 15 minutes for it I left. I paid 39 dollars with an offer voucher.

The redeeming thing was that the hot stones were really nice. But I have had many much better massages in Sydney.

I went to Cafe Chocolat having a craving for a hot chocolate. I paid my $3.80 for a small cup with expectations of a smooth and creamy cup of hot chocolate. I was sorely disappointed when I was served something that was on par with a hot chocolate from a vending machine. I won't be going again.

We haven't been to Kam Fook for a few years and the quality and service seems to have dropped tremendously since.

Went on Saturday afternoon at 2pm with my wife and was immediately ushered to a table. We were left there for 5-10 minutes, before a waitress came over to take our dim sum order. We told her that our tea is not even served and she said she would get someone. A couple of dim sums came but still no tea.

Finally, I had to call the senior staff over and told him that no one had served us tea. No apologies, just a grunt. Thought the service was bad enough, the food was even worse. The prawn dumpling (har gow) and chive dumpling were overcooked and the skin was very mushy and thick. It was probably one of the worst dumplings we had in Sydney. We had 3 other non-dumpling dishes which were Ok, but not outstanding.

For what we got, it's certainly overpriced. Given that we had yum cha here years ago, this was a shocking experience and won't be back again.

Ok pizzas nothing great, but seems to be quite difficult to find authentic Italian pizzas in the east that actually deliver, so on that note Arthur's is fine, bland at times, but fine.

I can't be sure about value because the treatment needs time to actually see results, however, the service was great! I was terrified after reading the reviews but I have to admit, I felt very welcomed. I was in and out in one hour as scheduled and they didn't push products or services on me. Connie my therapist was very nice. I'm glad I went to see for myself. I hope I wasn't just the lucky one. They seem all nice.

When I walked past Zoo bar, they were always busy. so I was always looking forward to going zoo bar. Today, I went to zoo bar. but, they weren't busy today. Nevertheless, the service was not good and it was more expensive than other cafes. so I was disappointed but, the taste was nice.

I ordered a cappuccino and a flatwhite. They tasted very good and the shop's atmosphere was very good too. But the shop space quite small. I could see the shop staff making the coffee. It was very interesting.

I drank a flat white. I think that there was a little bit too much foam and it was a little bit bitter for me. But, it had a nice atmosphere and the service was good.
The waitress had a good smile. They was a roasting machine. So it had a good coffee smell. I think it was nice for a Cafe.

Tried this recently opened bistro at Easts Leagues which replaced their attempt at Italian dining. The meals we ordered were quite good in their refurbished layout but really not the value they previously had when it was called level 1 bistro. More like restaurant prices than club prices.
