First experience trying out lebanese food apart from your usual kebab here and there and i have to say this place was amazing. Went with my partner and could not stop commenting on how good the food was. Paid $20 for a plate for two people and it was generously portioned, neither of us left feeling hungry and i was very satisfied with the taste of the food. Would keep going back to this place.

Approximate cost: $10-25

This review is for Tokyo Teppanyaki, South Yarra VIC

Could not speak more highly of this place. Have had teppanyaki in the likes of Crown before and i think Tokyo Teppanyaki was much better. Chef Willy definitely put on a great show for us with all his little tricks and great humour. The food was perfect each and every time. We caught egg omeletes and bowls full of rice! The only thing i would've liked was more time with the chef, it just felt like it was over really quickly. Would come back again.

Approximate cost: $70 teppanyaki

This place is great when you want a cheap meal fast. The restaurant is quite large but it does fill up with customers quite quickly also. You order and pay at the front counter and then the food is brought to you. Pretty decent selection of japanese meals such as bento boxes, desserts and entrees. Very good price. The food usually arrives quite quickly. Food is not as good as i have had at other restaurants, still nice, but like i said it's a great place if you're not to fussed and what your meals quick.

Approximate cost: $8-15

This review is for Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale VIC

A place i never knew existed until about a year ago. Went a few days ago during the school holidays. Was a little worried we would get caught in a large crowd of kids but surprisingly it wasn't as busy as i was expecting. Entry fee was very generous however i do question the price charged for getting photo taken with the animals. I paid $10 for a photo with a koala, these photos were taken with my camera. I was under the impression that they would be taken professionally. I was with the koala for little more than a minute so i don't think the value was worth what i paid. Overall the park is a reasonable size with lots of wallabies and kangaroos along the way to be able to feed. The other animals were in good viewing range also. Nice little place to go with the family every once in a while.

Approximate cost: $13 entry

This review is for Icey Ice Snow Ice, Melbourne VIC

Always wanted to go in and try some stuff on the menu and i finally did. I ordered a dessert crepe of honey and peanuts. Also ordered a hot tea and a strawberry snow ice cup. I was very disappointed with the crepe as it tasted kind of hard, not soft at all as i had imagined and had experience at other places. The toppings were barely there also, it felt as though i was eating the crepe all on it's own. No complaints with the ginger tea i ordered. The snow ice cup was a different experience, the texture was unique and it had a good flavour, nothing to WOW! like though.

Approximate cost: $6

This review is for Corean House, Melbourne VIC

This was my first time experiencing Korean BBQ. I bought a Scoopon voucher to use for two people. The booking process was really easy and we were able to get a booking straight away and even amend it later on. We arrived to find the restaurant tucked away in a little alleyway were it seemed nice and peaceful, not on a main road close to all the commotion. Inside the restaurant was clean and very well presented. I instantly felt a little excited to be there. We were greeted and taken to our table. About 5 minutes later all of our food began to arrive. As we were only beginners we had someone assist in the cooking of the meat for us, she was very friendly and helpful. The food was great and i would recommend to anyone wanting to try Korean BBQ to come to Corean House.

Approximate cost: $15-25

Tried this place out for the first time last week and i loved it. Great safety procedure and instruction for beginners. Felt very confident afterwards. Was able to climb as long as i wanted. Plenty of different climbing walls ranging in ability levels. Very affordable price.
Will be going back again!

Approximate cost: $10-15

This review is for Essendon Beauty Lounge, Essendon VIC

Went here to get a facial done. On arrival staff were very friendly in their greetings and made me feel very welcomed. They were very professional. This was the first facial i had ever had done and i found it to be very relaxing. I especially loved how it also came with a mini massage. Definitely somewhere i'd go back to. It was a lovely experience.

Approximate cost: $varies depending on what treatment you receive

This review is for Ipondo, Melbourne VIC

Innovative way of ordering your food through the use of ipad menu's. The service was a bit slow, waited for food to arrive for about 20 minutes. The food itself was nothing special, it wasn't bad but not great either.

Approximate cost: $about $15

This review is for Flavour Town Hot Pot, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 21 Apr 2012

At here last night. Would have not known about this place if it wasn't for the Scoopon voucher i purchased to use here. The place is a little bit hidden as it is on a busy Bourke Street and you have to go upstairs to get there. First impression is that the restaurant was really well presented, it was cultural and beautiful. The food was a bit overpriced compared to other hot pot places i've been as they charged everything per plate instead of as a combo. The atmosphere was great and it added to the social side of what hot pot was overall it was a great place to eat. Our bill (there was 4 of us) came to $128, for me that was quite dear considering the many other place that offer hot pot for a lot less than that. I do recommend this place though.

Approximate cost: $30 for an individual
