It was extremely busy. You pay for a main (such as pork chop, lasagne etc) and you get unlimited sides (chips, rice, salad etc). However, you can only top your sides once. This place was extremely pack, but there was lots of seats. Although good value for money, the service was crap- it was pretty much a sausage factory - just be warned about the service, otherwise value for money is good.

Best laksa dishes in Canberra. I love the number of different laksa and asian dishes that are available here. They are also very speedy with bringing out the dishes. The atmosphere is very cosy and sociable

WOMO is awesome. It provides incentives for people to share their good and bad experience. I have used the site to find things, ranging from restaurants, tax returns to holiday destinations.

I asked them to do some conveyancing work for my new apartment. They responded quite quickly to my queries and I didn't experience much fuss.

I am not sure if they were just experiencing a busy season or they are just sloppy. It took them 9 weeks to install the blinds when they originally quoted me 4 weeks max.

Really nice pizza atmosphere. The duck bbq sauce pizza is super delicious. The duck is crisp and goes really well with the asian bbq sauce and cucumber. The other pizza are great too - there is lots of food variety at this place.

I recently went to them to get a safety check for my car. I thought they were quite rude and very unfriendly. They pretty much took the keys off me without saying hi and gave me the keys and said bye. I know there is such thing as efficiency, but a friendly greeting is too much to ask for?

The only thing good about this place is the location - if you need to go to the Treasury building for anything, but don't want to leave, then this is the (only) place for you. The only other redeeming feature is the service (you are served by friendly and bubbly personality staff). The food is really overpriced for what it is. There is not much filling in the sandwiches and the coffee is only average.

This a great cafe if you are in the Parliamentary Triangle, especially when you go on Monday or Tuesday for lunch or Thursday and Friday night after 5pm- there's two for one pizza. I really enjoy the Bombay Bliss pizza - it's similar to curry chicken on a pizza drizzled with cold cucumber yoghurt.
If you go at any other time and pay full price for a pizza, make sure you ask for a loyalty card. When you buy 5 or 10 pizza, you get a free pizza.

There is also a rose garden outside the cafe, so you can even go for a stroll to work off your food.

By far, this is the best sushi place I have been to in Canberra. It has hit all the right notes for my partner and me. The meals are huge, the food taste not only yummy and fresh, but they look very professional. I ordered an ATM meal - you can probably share the meal with a friend/partner. I ordered one meal each with my partner last time, and felt really bad leaving 1/4 of the food behind. By the way, green tea is free, for those who fancy freebies.

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Although I wouldn't mind lighter lights.

Be warned - they are always booked out on Friday nights. Make sure you make a booking in advance or you could very disappointed. So many times did I see people being turned away by the staff even at 5.30pm.
