First time I tried Nepalese food, and Mustang made it memorable. The service was very attentive, (not chef hat trained awkward) but very polite and made sure the water was filled, dishes were cleared, and meals came promptly.

Not knowing what to order, my partner and I chose the $29 banquet. Very good value for money and all dishes came out delicious, but we definitely would like to try the other dishes as well after feeling a bit of food envy looking around.

Will return and recommend.

Coming from Sydney, I love Crust it's almost a ritual night in dinner. Though all crust I have ever been to in Sydney I loved, this would not be par to crust standards. The recipe is slightly different especially the pesto sauce on the vegetarian. I think with time, they should get the hang of it. But the base is close to crust perfect.

It is not Thai food. It's washed up all u can eat Chinese. The decor and crowd made it seem all well and nice along with the awards but, who are handing these out?

Firstly, 1 out of 5 waiters understand the menu, I mean it's ok to not be able to speak perfect English, but at least know what's on the menu's. We were waiting out front for 5 minutes before even looked at by a waiter even though 5 walked straight past.

The entree was fried in greasy oil days old you can taste and smell straight away. (we had soft shell crab and quail). The lamb salad was overlooked and flavorless, only fishy from the sauce. The tamarind duck was a complete mess, deep fried sweet and sour kantong can stuff. The tamarind flavour was drowned by grease and capsicum, not depth and complexity you usually get from it.

Overall, will never recommend this restaurant.

The food here is definitely fresh. The service is very attentive, some dishes are hit, others are ordinary. Definitely on the $$ side. A little disappointed on the night I went, a few dishes (scampi, bonito taro dessert all of which I wanted, were "sold out" it was 6pm booking on a Tuesday and we were among 5 other tables.

I have been to bars that serve better food for half the price. Firstly Some staff are nice and very professional, some not so friendly and quite stuck up. The food, well, 3 squares of watermelon (1cm cubed I'm not kidding) on a plate, with 3 medium scallops is not a dish worth $27. I had alot across the table at some of my friends dishes, none of which I had food envy. My main was well cooked (spatch cock) but the lamb I tried from my friends were worst that day old bbq. It was dry, flavourless and a poor cut.

Overall after wines at $91 each with only entry and main between 6. I definitely won't be back nor recommending it to anyone. This is a nice place, hard to find, but definitely needs a new kitchen staff.

Meh. Its ok. The lines are not worth it. Tasty food, but nothing really special about it. Kinda like how good a macca's burger is after a hangover then once you eat it, it was really really meh... not worth the wait, if there is no line and I happened to walk by, hungry and feel like Malaysian (stars align) I will go again, other that that I'd let others line up.

I agree with both reviews below. Way too expensive for what they try to pass as japanese. The softshell crab was oily and tiny. the beef was so bland it tasted like warm rubber with unwashed mushroom. Even the green tea served might as well been lipton tea. Disgrace.

Some waitress smiled, some would slam the dishes. No consistency in customer service. Also I can not eat off a small tea dish. Please use plates. We had four people and they gave us two spoons, or sometimes one fork (even though it was obvious we were sharing). Overall I won't be returning.

We only went here for a nice catch-up companied with wine tasting and have a few finger foods. But our Sommelier or at least a very very good waitress was knowledgeable, professional, fun and very helpful. We had a very enjoyable night. The wines were great and very affordable and what little food we ordered we were delighted by. Love this chic hangout. Great for a quick catch up, but stay for the D&M’s.

We had a few dishes here. Everything was yummo! the service is fantastic, and really lively atmosphere! The soft shell crab was a bit burnt which was disappointing but I will excuse it this time as everything else was really good and the prices were relatively cheap too. Will be back.
