After reading so many good reviews, I thought it was only fair to write my own. The food to be honest was Not Real Thai. It was a westernised version of what I would call Slop. Since when does Thai fried rice have peas and corn in it? Not to mention the chicken chilli basil that had cauliflower and broccoli and mushroom in it. All 6 dishes we ordered lacked the much loved flavours of real Thai cuisine. Yuck yuck yuck is all I have to say.

Had an amazing meal here today, with impeccable food, and warm and friendly service. Food was delivered in a timely manner and was faultless in presentation and taste. We had a wonderful meal and are happy to recommend this beautiful little restaurant to any and everyone!

Visited this place for dinner last Saturday night. Overall food was edible, but they should consider serving traditional Lebanese food rather than 'modernising' it. One of the things I ordered was Fattoush salad, it was a small portion for approx $11. No value or flavour. I can make a better Fattoush and I'm not Leb!

One of Strathpine's best kept secrets. The food is fantastic and a great experience for the kids! The green tea ice-cream is a must have!

One of the best takeaway shop in Brisbane! Went there on a Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised to find the prices cheap and the food very amazing especially the crispy pork belly and green curry chicken. Ordered kimchi pork belly soup and 2 curries and was left with enough for a lunch the next day.

Made a booking and when we arrived were told it was made for the next night. They sat us down as the restaurant was quiet and we were served by what seemed to be the owner and he was great. However, when we asked a different waiter what the price of a drink was she said "I don't know, I'm just the hired help" assuming she would come back with an answer, she did not.

I ordered a Fishermans Platter and when it came out on a dinner plate I knew I was in for a bad experience. One, that's right, one oyster and two prawns, couple of pieces of fish, the rest of the plate was filled with chips, most displeased. My partner ordered a cold platter for two and again the amount of seafood was unacceptable for the price paid. Restaurant is dated and in need of a face lift. I will not recommend this place to my friends.

I had a professional group dinner here and was impressed by the service and by just how amazing the food was. I would certainly be happy to recommend this venue if someone was to ask me if I knew of any good venues for a group outing.

We went there for a quiet dinner to celebrate an occasion, but it was spoiled by the awful experience at Santos. Though the food was ok, but not more than a side cafe who would serve at 1/4 of the price.

The service does not even match McDonalds. The staff were rude and arrogant. First it took them 10 minutes to greet us on the table and bring menus, and then the lady was back on us 3 times within 5-6 minutes to order entrees and mains.

Drinks came in after the entrees had arrived and then the mains were kept on the table while we were still eating the entrees. We were third time lucky to get the water which was ice cold in a winter evening of 9 degrees and she arrogantly said, this is the only water they had. We returned the water but were still charged 6.95 for the bottle and were forced to pay.

The mains were just ordinary and no where near the price tag. At the end without clearing our dishes, the waitress was upon us to get us buy the desserts, which obviously we did not have after having such an experience. The senior staff who was at the cashiers till did not want to know much about it, and blushed us off with arrogance, saying that they are the best restaurant in the area and he is very pleased with the service they provide. What a pathetic answer. We are not going back and will ensure to pass this on to all our friends

Went to Mondo for the first time and was extremely impressed. The service was superb, meals arrived quickly and we had a 3 course meal in just under an hour.

The food was excellent with proper portion sizes, the staff were friendly and attentive and the ambience was very pleasant. The only drawback was the cool wind but we were prepared and we had jackets, so nothing to really complain about.

I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience fine dining at a decent price.

Whenever we're in Brisbane we like to dine at Ahmet's restaurant. It does get very busy on Friday nights, so it is advisable to make a booking. We've found that even when the place is crowded, the service is still fast.

We ordered a couple of mixed grilled platters of chicken, lamb and adana skewers and a lamb cutlet with Turkish rice and a green leaf salad. It was quite a large amount of food and it was very tasty.

We also got to see the belly dancer around 9pm. (We enjoyed the show). We'll definitely be eating here on our next visit to Brisbane.

It is always difficult choosing a restaurant at South Bank as there are so many great places to eat. Of the two Ginga restaurants at South Bank, we chose the quieter one on Grey Street.

Ginga is a Japanese fusion restaurant and the menu features dishes from a number of countries including Japan, China, Korea and Italy, that would be the pizzas!

We had a wonderful Baked chicken Katsu with white sauce (on fried rice baked with cheese) and a Chicken Karaage curry. For $5.00 extra we were able to create a combo. We chose the Gyudon thinly sliced beef.

The food was really nice, especially the Baked chicken Katsu with white sauce, a dish we had never tried before, but would highly recommend.

Ordered 10 Naan Bread for takeaway and literally waited 1.5 hrs and was told that they are trying. Will never go there again, service was appalling!

We love coming here because it's a great value for your money and they have plenty of food selections. It's also very handy as it is close to cinemas, shopping and fun and games for kids.

Cost of seafood is too expensive compared to other seafood shops, cooking oil could be a lot better it is too oily and more seafood items should be crumbed or at least have that on offer instead of just battered, get it back to like what the previous owners had and I will buy more seafood there instead of going elsewhere.

Bad service. You had to be one of the lucky tables to get food otherwise it was a long time between meals. Looked upon negatively if you asked for a particular type of meat that was on the menu. Definitely not worth the money. Will not be going back.

My family and I had dinner last night at the Steak & Crabhouse at the Belvedere. Fantastic, my mudcrab was to die for as was my wife's fresh snapper. All the kids hoovered a rump steak. Great night out thanks Belvedere. First class food, service and great view!

Had five dish dinner - Honey chicken was definitely refried from lunch leftovers, not fresh or tender at all, was chewy and batter was the much darker deep fried colour than usual... would have to say the same for the sweet n sour pork... beef and black bean was lovely... but disappointed in the end... why can't all food be relatively fresh at these prices...

Really nice atmosphere. They have a beautiful back terrace that overlooks the golf course. It's not overcrowded and you really feel relaxed at this place. The menu is nice. Modern Australian and really pretty reasonable so I will definitely go back again. They have kind of loyalty thing where you can sign up and get a free meal on your birthday for if you look on their website. We signed up while we were there. If you live on the North Side check it out because it's kind of a rare gem that not everyone knows about yet.
