This review is for Pie In The Sky, Olinda VIC

verified email - 29 Jun 2013

Visited Pie in the Sky while in the Dandenong Ranges.
Place was busy and pies looked amazing in the cabinet.
Upon tasting they were average. the spinach and feta had rice mixed in with it and the overall taste was bland. Feels like this place has become communalized and lost its homely and authentic taste. Disappointing.... will not be back.

Approximate cost: $15.00

This review is for Love Pho, Richmond VIC

verified email - 14 Apr 2013

Yummy Vietnamese Restaurant in Richmond - with lots of choice in this area I would recommend giving Love Pho a go.

Wonderful and authentic food - my partner had the duck which he thought was incredible. Very tasty and came with a lovely BBQ sauce.

Lovely rice paper rolls too although the mint leaves added an odd flavour.

Good service although the waiters hovered around our table since we were the only ones there for a while - the place quickly filled up though.

Approximate cost: $20.00

This review is for Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant, Camberwell VIC

verified email - 09 Mar 2013

My partner and I really felt like Vietnamese for tea last night and stumbled upon Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant to order take out. We certainly wouldn't have dined in as the table were crammed in, no music and many diners talking made for an extremely noisy wait.

when ordering, we were informed the spring rolls couldn't be made vegetarian as they were pre-made. Obviously didn't want the additional sale!

I ordered the lemon grass bean curd - tofu was mushy and taste was average to poor.
My partner ordred the chilli beef which he describes as average - limited flavour and quite forgettable

We waited half an hour for our order to be ready - too long for a take away I think.

Overall, average, forgettable and boring. I hope the other vietnamese restaurants in Melbourne aren't like this!

Approximate cost: $11.00

This review is for One One Five Cafe, Mornington VIC

We went here on a saturday afternoon for lunch. The service was pretty good although were not shown to a table or offered water. Our orders were taken reasonably quickly and the waitress made reccomendations on the freshly squeezed juice. Our drinks came out pretty quickly, I had a freshly squeezed juice and my partner had a berry smoothie which were both really nice, Our food came out within a reasonable amount of time (about 25mins) and it was fine. I had the one one five burger which was nice but more of a steak sandwich. My partner had the veggie stack which was average. All in all a reasonable lunch if you are in the area but not worth travelling for.

Approximate cost: $20

This review is for Zen Japanese Restaurant, Hawthorn VIC

Fabulous experience at Zen

Amazing service and the food is just wonderful. Staff are extremely polite and will attend to you and your guests needs quickly and quietly.

Great selection of meat, seafood and vegetarian.

Main meals come out on sizzle plates and come out in a desired amount of time.

Highlight of the night was the authentic and home made green tea ice cream. A must try!

One of our guests lost an earring and the staff took a phone number to call in case they found it at the end of the night. Can't get any better than that!

Approximate cost: $20.00

This review is for Yarra Indian Take Away & Cafe, South Yarra VIC

verified email - 09 Feb 2013

I cannot reinforce prior reviews for Yarra Indian Take Away and Cafe enough - this simply is the BEST Indian I have ever tasted! If you like Indian you MUST sample this hidden gem in South Yarra.

The owner is a friendly man who makes everything on site - the dips, entrees and mains all prepared by him.

The food is to die for - flavoursome, generous portions of meat and vege and not heavy or soggy.

The day core and TV playing Indian/Bollywood music adds to the charm and experience.

The pricing is unbeatable and this place could easily put its prices up. $10 gets you any main (par seafood), naan and poppadum - An absolute bargain.

Do not go past this place - we can't wait to go back!!

Approximate cost: $10.00

This review is for Kojo Brown, Richmond VIC

verified email - 09 Feb 2013

We went to Kojo Brown for Brunch -nice cafe but rather forgettable compared to some other outfits in the area and around Melbourne.

Food was average - vegie kojo came with the usual eggs, spinach, tomato, mushrooms and fritter.

Eggs benedict - nothing to rave about. A standard bennie.

Staff are friendly but sadly this place needs to up its game to be memorable

Approximate cost: $16.00

This review is for Wabi Sabi Salon, Collingwood VIC

verified email - 12 Jan 2013

Stumbled upon this place while out exploring Fitzroy and was really impressed. I would describe it as an authentic Japanese experience. Cute, wee, eclectic restaurant with amazing food.

For only $15 Wabi Sabi does a great special of a miso soup and bento bowl. I had the vegetarian bento bowl and it was wonderful - fresh, tasty and heaps of variety in one dish. An ingenious idea of having a bit of everything in one meal in its own wee sections. Mine included rice, tofu, ginger, Japanese style salad and noodles along with a deep fried potato style cake.

What a hidden gem!

This review is for Price Attack, South Yarra VIC

verified email - 06 Jan 2013

Awesome experience at Price Attack.
Dropped in here for a hair cut before New Years Eve. Couldn't fit us in on Saturday but booked appointments for Sunday.

Style Cut, Wash and Blow Wave for $55. Hair Dresser was friendly and knew what she was doing. Recommended I grow out some shorter layers and sent a lot of time thinning out my hair.

Excellent value for money and really friendly.

Approximate cost: $55.00
