We usually get take away or delivery. They only charge an extra $2 to deliver it to your house. They also give you a bag of prawn crackers.

The dishes are all very cheap. It usually costs us about $50 and it feeds about 6 people.

Have also dined in. I agree the place looks dingy from the outside but isnt too bad on the inside.

Some of my favourite dishes are curried chicken, lemon chicken, mongolian lamb and chicken and corn soup.

This review is for Fairmont Homes, Kent Town SA

verified email - 27 Aug 2012

After getting quotes from a few other builders we decided to give Fairmont a go.

Their base price for the homes isn't too bad. But if you go to the selection center and see the range of fittings you can choose from you will be disappointed.

The basins are from the 80's, very basic tile range, horrible door knobs. So by the time we upgraded everything (and we did not go top of the range) and made a few structural changes, the price rose by $130,000.

This builder is only good value when you stick to all the standard inclusions.

The customer service we received was fantastic. The salesperson went out of his way for us. But it was not the right company for us.

This review is for Sushi Train, Adelaide SA

I love sushi train. It is a fantastic idea. Always very fresh, love how you can see the chefs making it in the middle. Only problem is that it is so busy. There is always a line up of people waiting to be seated. Prices arent too bad they range from $3 a plate to $8. Usually when my boyfriend and I go it costs us about $50 inclusing drinks. If you dont like anything on the train you can order it off the menu.

This review is for Vietnam Restaurant‎, Pennington SA

This place is always packed, no matter which night of the week you go.

Last time we went we ordered cold rolls a duck dish and a serve of the crispy salt and pepper soft shelled crab. The crab was fantastic.

Considering how busy the place is we did not have to wait too long foir our meals. Because it is so busy the tables are squashed in and are too close together and it is very loud. Decent prices.

I have just recently joined. I found their website hard to navigate through and find information. I wanted to know how many points you need to redeem a $10 or $20 voucher. Could not find it anywhere on their website. I ended up sending them an email, they said 500 points is equal to $10 AUD. I was surprised when they relied to my email in less than half an hr, good customer service. So far i have earned around $5. I wonder how often i will receive surveys

Came here for breakfast last week. My partner had a very nice coffee. I ordered a freshly squeezed apple juice, it was amazing, best apple juice i have ever tasted. Also had some toast. Customer service was good. The place is modern. It was a little overpriced, but i didnt mind.

This review is for John's Nuts, Mulgrave VIC

This place is awesome. They have a huge variety of nuts, snacks and dried fruit. It is very clean and their displays look appetising. I thought it was great how they had samples of their whole range on top of their counter so you can try before you buy. Received excellent customer service. Wish they would open one in SA. Fantastic quality.

This review is for Sushi Sushi, Melbourne VIC

Got some sushi here the other day. Was very impressed with the cleanliness of the store. The sushi looked very fresh and appetising.

They had a dine in area at the back of the store. It was very comfortable and quiet.

We ordered a few different rolls and also some prawns on rice. Our favourite was the soft shelled crab.

The staff were nice enough to cut up the rolls into bite sized pieces for us.

Good experience, good value, would return.

This review is for Punthill South Yarra Grand, South Yarra VIC

We stayed here for 3 nights. Got a good deal on last minute. It is a new, very modern building. They have undercover secure parking on site for just $12 per day. This was one of the reasons we chose to stay here, a lot of other hotels were charging $30 per day.

When we first entered we were very impressed with the decor. We went up to our apartment. It had a funny smell in it and there were black marks all over the white walls. We were not impressed.

We went down to the foyer to let them know, they moved us to another apartment straight away and transferred our luggage over instantly, no questions asked. We were very impressed with their friendly staff.

This room was much cleaner. We booked a one bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, it evern had a washer and dryer.
It was very comfortable to stay in. They put lolly pops on our bedside tables and had a blackboard in the living area with welcome written on it. It was a nice touch.

We enjoyed our stay and will return to Punthill on our next visit to melbourne. It is a great location, 2 min walk to chapel st, train station across the road and trams on toorak rd, just out of the CBD.

This review is for Lord Of The Fries, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 12 Aug 2012

I was on holiday in Melbourne last week and these shops are everywhere, so I decided to give it a go. I ordered some fries with the euro mayo. They weren't too bad, but not the best chips I have ever tasted. They were also quite expensive for the serving size you receive. The service was ok, waited about 5-8 mins.
