Not the most spacious shop, but they have a massive kitchen out back.
The service is great, really quick and very easy. Portions are pretty much spot on, but not brilliant for the price.
Unfortunately it's the food that lets it down. It's a bit bland for what it is. It looks absolutely great presentation wise but lacks a certain kick. I had the Singapore Noodles and it was just... bland.
Wish I could say better about this restaurant as the owners are brilliant. Just not for me I guess!

Approximate cost: $15-$20

Adam is an amazing driving instructor. I have extreme anxiety and he is very calming when I am having troubles.
He knows the areas well and is very well priced compared to other instructors ($50 per hour).
His car is great, and he has pedals so you can't possibly go wrong.
Very reliable and always on time to pick you up.
Definitely the best instructor around.

Approximate cost: $50p/h

I was sent to Dr McCallum after being found to have pre-cancerous cells in my cervix. Though he did appear distracted, he was definitely in control of what he was doing. He quickly diagnosed me with CIN 2/3 and got me in to hospital for surgery within a couple of months (public). He was very comforting just prior to the operation, which was really helpful for me.
He removed all the cells, and after a 6 month follow up recently it was shown that they havent come back.
I'm pleased that I was sent to Dr McCallum and would recommend him easily.

Just for a little information, his practice tends to run late each appointment by around half an hour, and the out of pocket cost for me (Pensioner, with medicare) was only around $30 per appointment.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Jimmyz Kebabs, Boronia VIC

I have recently eaten there twice, first was pick-up, second was delivery.
First time I got a vegetarian kebab, which was a bit underpacked formy liking, however it was actually quite nice. They made all sorts of apologies though for the different bread, though I would have had no idea, it was nice either way. Didn't have to wait long and the shop seemed clean.
The second time I decided to try their lamb kebab. This was the biggest disappointment ever. Not only was delivery late (and it's seriously right around the corner) but the kebab was stuffed with a TONNE of meat. Granted, I love this, but there was hardly any salad in it and it made it seem like it was PURELY a lamb kebab. I ate maybe half of it before I just gave up and threw it out. I like an even combination!

Either way, its not terrible though. Would have it again, but would definitely tell them to put less meat!

Went there for my Nan and Granddads 60th anniversary. First off, we specifically told them how large a party we were, and we got seated at a MUCH too small table. We immediately complained and they moved us to one of the larger ones.
We then went to get our food. There was not much variety. The food was not labelled. We had no idea what we were eating.
Everything was too cold. The chips were disgusting, as was the rice. The adults were satisfied with the prawns but other then that there was nothing particularly tasty on the menu. Some of us just gave up on lunch and moved on to dessert.
This was honestly just as bad. 3 types of ice cream, all of which had the same spoon to scoop with, which for those of us who hate mixing, was quite gross. They had nothing for the children except their "frogs in a pond" which were much like rubber and the "frogs" were old and crumbling.
We tried to ignore how disgusting the food was and just have nice conversation.
One waitress came over to clean up our plates, and we were met with her rude attitude. She not only lent waaaay over the table, but she practically lent her body on a 3 year old child who was very upset by it! Did the waitress say sorry? No of course not, she said, "Pass those two plates."
She could have easily moved around the table, but instead we were expected to "pass" them to her..
Definitely not worth the $25 a head. Wouldn't pay $10 for that service.

At the end of the terrible ordeal, we were asked to leave, as they were closing and it was more important then their manners.

Never going back.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for EACH Employment Services, Boronia VIC

So far I have been in here twice, and the service has been so great each time. It's quiet and relaxed in there.
As soon as I tell the receptionist that I have an appointment, they tell me to take a seat and wait, but I never have to wait more then a minute!
The people are more then helpful when it comes to managing my anxiety, so if I say I can't do something, there is no push.
Straight on topic and trying to do everything they can to help me find suitable employment, even with my disabilities.
Can spend more then an hour talking in there if I'm not careful.
Will definitely be going back, cannot wait for more assistance.
The one thing Centrelink has done right is put me on to these amazing people.

Visited this studio today and it is absolutely impeccable! The service was great, the shop is warm and inviting, the clothing side of it is amazing!
The owner was absolutely so helpful with everything.
Also, I love that they have a snake!
Overall, would definitely go back! Very clean and well priced place!

Delivery was right on time, their rice is dry. Their nasi goreng is nothing like nasi goreng. Its more like seafood fried rice with spice... Lemon chicken is oily, nothing special.
Overall, very expensive for what we received. Not especially tasty everything, more just barely edible.
Wont be buying from them again!

This review is for Sushi Express, Belgrave VIC

This is my new favourite sushi shop!!! Absolutely huge range, so close to the train station and my house!
Went in today and the service was great! They make the sushi after you order, so you KNOW its fresh. The prices are decent too! I paid $10 for my salmon sushi, and it was amazzzinggg!
Very clean looking shop as well, which is definitely refreshing!
Apparently they've only been open here for two weeks as well, so glad I found them so soon! :D
Definitely somewhere I will be going from now on. Highly recommended!

Doctors are always busy!
They change regularly too.
The waiting room is clean but feels a bit like a fishbowl.
Receptionists are nice.
Not really somewhere I would overly recommend, but not a terrible place.
