Love the duck noodle soup and viet ice coffee! My husband loves the spicy chicken ribs! We have been here a few times and love it. Authentic food and great value.

Great little place for the kids to play if it's cold and rainy outside. A little on the pricey side so would only come here every now and then. But I love that you can have a coffee whilst the kids are able to play in a safe environment.

Delicious food. Very friendly service. We have been here a few times and always have had a great experience. They are especially patient as we have young kids. Great family restaurant.

DO NOT purchase anything from Dreamworld Furniture. In fact, ABSOLUTELY AVOID THIS PLACE. What was supposed to be a simple purchase of a single bed turned into a painful 6 months.

The purchased item delivered did not match what was shown to me in the show room. My single bed arrived with a huge gap between the 2 x under drawers, not at all what was shown to me in the show room

I paid over $1500 for this bed and mattress, which is quite a lot of money. So I would expect that what I was promised in the showroom, and I what I paid for, would be what I got. I understand mistakes can be made with the factory and I understand delays can be made.

The staff and owner could have easily rectified this and handled it a lot better however they took no responsibility, they lied to me about things they promised, never told me when items would be late (and the items would be late by weeks) and I was always the one who had to call them to find out what was happening. They made me feel like I was bothering them, and were at times rude, when I queried why my bed, and eventually drawers, had not been delivered or delivered incorrectly. Yes, the bed and drawers which I had paid in full.

When I queried why my drawers were late I was yelled at by the owner. She said it was not her fault the drawers were late and it was not her fault that all her staff took the day off and left her alone in the shop. She was so rude and loud that I had to hang up the phone.

Here is a small sample of my experience with Dreamworld furniture.

* They told me bed would be ready end of Jan, even though factory closes in Christmas/New Year period but they said bed will still be ready. End of January, I heard nothing so rang them and they said that bed not ready. Was told that they never said bed would be ready by end of Jan as factory is closed during Christmas/New Year

* Bed delivered end of Feb and 2 under drawers did not fit properly. There was a 15cm gap between the drawers. I went into showroom and showed the owner a photo and she immediately said "that looks wrong" and said there is not supposed to be a gap that big and showed me an example on the showroom floor where the gap was only 4cm. She organised to get me 2 new drawers made. However later I was told that the 2 drawers delivered originally were the "standard" size and that the 15cm gap was how it was supposed be. They said I had ordered a "non standard" larger size and they are doing me a favour by re-making it. When I ordered the drawers I was never told they were "non standard", even my invoice doesn't mention this. The salesman even insisted that I drop the original drawers off to them to swap with the "larger" drawers (this is laughable as they were the ones who made the mistake. Even the owner admitted the gap was wrong).

* They said drawers would be ready in 1 week and I questioned this because of what happened with the bed. They said yes it will be ready in a week and they will give me a call. 3 weeks later I hadn't heard from them and called to query. The owner said the drawers were done but in the wrong colour so they had to respray. I said "I understand that but it would be nice if someone called me to update me as the same thing happened with the bed". The owner took no responsibility for it being late, did not apologise and even had the nerve to say "it's only 3 weeks late". The salesman on the other hand just lied and said he "never promised the drawers would be ready in 1 week".

I eventually got the correct bed, mattress and underdrawers. But instead of 6 weeks this saga went on for 6 months. And this was only because I had to chase them every time. Save yourself the drama, go and purchase somewhere else. The owner had no interest in dealing with me once she received the money for the bed.

I have no interest in doing business with people like this and will warn others to stay away from them.

Approximate cost: $1600
