Stayed here over Christmas. Great location a bit off the cbd so it was nice and quiet but had a shopping complex across the road so it was handy. The overall atmosphere was child friendly over Christmas, kids bombing in the pool and running around (so would probably recommend couples not to stay here over Christmas). Was relaxing but wasnt 'luxurious' the bathrooms were small and furniture was a all a bit outdated overall though it was an enjoyable stay. Could probably do with a bit of a facelift though.

I used to be a fan of DelMondo, and every saturdays would have breakfast here or take away the one serving of blueberry cheesecake but all of a sudden (change in management? chef? suppliers?) it all went downhill. Ordered a big breaky and might as well have given me the whole thing raw, it tasted disappointing and took forever, I asked if they changed chefs back then and they did but I don't know many chefs that can't cook a sausage and scrambled eggs.

And most of the cakes have all changed too, the homemade style of cheesecake has been replaced with some mass produced cheesecake dunked in gelatin. Really disappointed, used to by one of my fav. places to go!

Time I went was decent, so I went a second time in summer. There was flies everywhere! and the Pad Thai (very basic) was overloaded with sweetness and as a lover of Thai was dissapointing. Was dissapoint after that experience and could be just a bad day but nevertheless dissapointing from a place with good reviews.

All time fav. place to go in Burwood, although this place is pricey it always tastes great and looks great. The service is good if you are eating but if your only heading to Sidnees on a Thursday night for a coffee good luck getting a table! They ask if you are having coffee or dinner - besides that great lively atmosphere and smell of sweet argile!

I go to this place once a month. There is a crazy amount of food on the menu and I certainly have not tried everything but definately worth the money on the dishes I have tried. The salt and pepper calamari however was a tad bit salty but besides that its been great. There is normally a full house if you go during dinner and its quite squashy but worth every dollar.

Vietnamese is known to be cheap, filling and tasty. This place fails in 2. Cheap? No, its the most expensive vietnamese food I've eaten, and the portions are small - so def not value for money. Taste wise not so bad, but used to be better when real Vietnamase owner was there.

A fusion of japanese and italian cuisine owned by a Korean? A very Asian-ish pasta/pizza place. Pretty tasty good variety although quite small it has a good vibe to it. Would recommend trying!

Love love love yumcha here. There are many ratings for yumcha at other places, but no matter where I go I personally love the yumcha here! Good selection, nothing too fancy but has all the basics!

Heard good things about this place that the food is good but the food is average and its expensive. The A la Carte menu just tastes like $3 all plates sushi train. The price was also pretty high like $16? for a katsudon which was less than the palm of my hand. Service was also pretty dull, we sat outside and seniro staff/worker was more interested in the T.V than customers outside.
