We also had a seven-course banquet and two glasses of wine for $69 for 2 with living social voucher last night. It was Friday night and overall we enjoy the atmosphere and harbour view but not food and service at all.

Bejing duck - Beijing duck is to enjoy its skin with juicy oil, thinly cut fresh green onion and yummy sweet sauce wrapped with thin pancake. However, it was without yummy skin oil, green onion wasn't cut thin, and it came with thicky meat with bland sauce.

Duck mince on lettuce was again bland that makes us think the duck they cooked was cheap and low quality. Prawn dish was surprisingly tasteless and prawns they used was small. Fried rice was another flavourless dish and at this point we couldn't believe that the restaurant was headed by an award winning kitchen staff. Scallop dish was good and savory. Beef was tender and sauce was ok.

Service was good with welcoming smiles on their faces and waiters were also polite compared to other Chinese restaurant but it was deteriorated by two unacceptable services during our dining. We were surprised that a waiter took our half-left-dish away without asking us. In fact, we were still eating it. And, we didn't receive the seventh dish (dessert) even after waiting for 20 minutes. Waiters knew we had finished all dishes on the table and it wasn't busy night. But it seemed like they were waiting for us to leave.

In fact, it didn't really matter about the dessert because we were already disappointed by the dishes so we just left without saying anything. With that level of food quality it's definitely not worth $140, that says on the voucher.

The experience we had in this restaurant were nicely presented top-quality-Look dishes with beautiful interiors and harbour views but without Real Taste and consistent services. We could not believe this restaurant is claiming that it is headed by an award winning kitchen staff.

Ryo's Noodle, North Sydney

Food  7      Ambience  5      Service  6      Value  8     


My gf heard of good comments about Ryo's noodle so we decided to go. It was raining so we expected no one was queuing up but soon we found out we were wrong.

The queue never seemed to end even after we finished dinner at 8pm, although it wasn't too long and we probably waited for 15 minutes.

Waitress service was just ok quite average for this sort of busy Japanese restaurants. Food were served quite fast and didn't have to wait again after waiting in the queue outside.

We ordered Tonkotsu Ramen, Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, Deep Fried Chicken, and Grilled Dumbling. Ramen was very nice but a bit oily, at least not very salty as we expected from others' comments. Dumpling was very yummy, hard to find this top quality level of it in Sydney. But Fried Chicken was just too salty and we couldn't finish all.

At the end we thought we want to come back again to try different dishes. Great value for this taste.

Fancy interia lights induced us enter the restaurant and it was great dining experience.

We asked for popular pizzas in the restaurant and waiter recommended us "Capricciosa" and "Made In Italy". We tried "Capricciosa" which was very tasty and good value for that size of pizza. A portion of seafood pasta could have been larger but yet was very yummy.

Service was good and all waiter/waitress are attentive. We will go back again and try "Made In Italy" next time.

Went there with my GF and we really enjoyed the experience of different atmosphere in the restaurant.

Food was brilliant, expecially Goats curd and basil stuffed mushrooms. I had never had the beautiful dish before, very talented fine dish. I got nothing more to add about ambience (others already mentioned). Just as nice and cozy.

Service was good but it took a while to get the first drink, they came after 2nd dish was served. Mine came even 10 min after my GF's. It looks all others were also getting their drinks quite late.

We had four shared dishes and two cocktails with coupon for $49 ($109 value) but weren't full so ordered another dish. It is very nice place to have a drink and bites but a bit too expensive. I'd come after filling my stomach somewhere else before coming to the restaurant again.

Food was good. The Portugiese chicken is one of the best chickens.

It is not like restaurant but more like take away shop, opened door makes it nice but a bit cold and needed heater.

Waitress services was very good. They interacted with us nicely and explained details of meals, apart from one dish they took wrong order.

Overally, it's good to have the chicken once in a while and I like it.

I went to Hong Fu Restaurant with other 7 people and ordered 11 dishes. Of these, 2 dishes were just ok and 9 dishes were very good.

The restaurant looks rather new but nothing special and just normal chinese style. Service was good for Chinese restaurant.

It cost $170 in total so cost just above $20pp. I wanna go again coz their food taste nice and good value.

I had canoli first time...but I didn't like it. People have different taste and it wasn't nice at all for me. Maybe because I'm not Italian.

I had their meals in Parramatta Westfield food court yesterday. I ordered roast beef and Gaucho Chorizo Sausages. They are both beautifully tasty especially the sausages were unlike food court taste and better tasted than German ones.

Salads came with beef and sausages are also fantastic. Seriously I recommend you all to try once. You'll love the sausage and it only cost $10 or so. I will definitely have their meals again when I have a chance to go there. Hope they set up their website and open more shops near the City too.

I totally agree with the comment below. I had a dinner in this restaurant with my girlfriend on Wed 28/09.

Started with No welcoming greeting Nor smile on her face. We waited an entree for 30 min and we didn't even have cutlery and napkin when the entree came. She even didn't notice that until we asked for it. When she brought to us she didn't even say sorry. She said absolutely nothing.

It seemed like she was just doing her job without 4-star or 5-star customer service.

Pasta we ordered was just tomato taste and so plain. It is definitely Not worth $28 for it. Location is good but food and customer service is 2.5 star.

We will never go to Baia again.
