Had dinner here for first time the other night having heard good things about it for a long time. Food was good, but not great, but service was the standout, with friendly and informative waiters. Wine by the glass seemed steep at an average $12.

Went for yum cha recently. Some stand out dumplings (har gaw and several other prawn dumplings). Also some disappointments, cheung fun sauce was not right. Four of us got out of there for just over $100 and we had eaten pretty well.
Was perfectly reasonable but nothing to write home about.

Good family run local pizza joint. They use a real wood fire, good ingredients and thin bases. Staff are helpful and there is a little car park out in front. Would definitely go back.

We returned to this place after not having visited for a year or so as we had heard the chef had changed. The food is still reminds us of being in a local in downtown Bangkok.

We had the som tum which hits you with the a massive burst of chilli follwed by the classic sweet, sour and salty combination. The whole Barramundi with thai herbs was fantastic - lightly fried pieces of fish dressed with chillis, cashews and a mixture of thai herbs in a light sauce. We also had the duck larb, garlic soft shell crab, prawn pad thai and chinese brocilli. All this followed up by three of their desserts which we all shared.

Five of us got out of there for $150 stuffed to brim! Overall we think it was better overall than before.

We were expecting a lot from this Sydney stalwart and, unfortunately, it didn't really deliver. You only had two menus to choose from (an 8 course priced at just under $A200 or a 4-course at $145) with no a la carte option, so diners must feel like eating at least 4 courses.

We waited for around 40 minutes between our second course and main without any sign that staff cared or knew we had waited so long. The food was reasonably executed but for the prices we expected so much more.

Went there recently after many years of having not been. Was just as I remembered, classic Aussie pizza with a doughy base and lots of toppings. Went with a few mates and ate plenty of pizza for $20 each.

I have been going to this place with my girlfriend for years. It's a fantastic little local, run by a lovely sushi chef. The sushi is always very fresh and feels like you are stepping into a hole in the wall shop in Tokyo. Fantastic value.
