This review is for Xin Jiang Noodle Restaurant, Hurstville NSW

It's an authentic experience. The noodles are handmade. The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is lacking but it doesn't really matter. The food is worth making trips for and it's actually quite cheap. It's less than $8 for a bowl of noodles. I sometimes have trouble finishing such a large portion.

Approximate cost: $8

It's always a hassle to get seating there but the food is very nice and has a lot of variety. The staff are friendly and always smiling. The prices are decent for such a busy establishment. The weekend and dinner rushes are the busiest times so avoid them and you're golden.

They're careful with my dog who's a bit skittish. They gave him the whole package and didn't skip things. They plucked his ear hair, etc. I've had groomers that just cut them short which is an unhealthy shortcut. He smells nice, isn't cut from scissors or shears. They didn't take a long time and they were reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Approximate cost: $55

It was reasonably fast. My dog came back all shorn and groomed but the groomer cut the hair in his ears instead of pulling them out. The groomer also scraped my dog's paws and behind a bit. He did use a good shampoo though, made my dog daisy fresh for a long time.

I just needed to renew my prescriptions and being absent minded I forgot until I ran out. When I rushed around this place was booked full but I could come back after 7 and pay $15 to see someone. I did. They were professional and detached. The receptionist was unimpressed with me for making her stay late. That was the end of the story.

The food's very nice. The servers and owners are friendly and playful. The prices are good and it's open late. I find it very convenient and the atmosphere is family friendly.

When this place first re-opened under a new owner I was working in the area and was invited to their opening night tasting and meet and greet. The food was mediocre but I thought it was because they had to deliver such a large quantity of food for the party.
Later I would venture there as a paying customer and the food improved. The hostess was the owner so she was friendly but my server was quite silent and long faced. The drinks took a long time for a simple order for a soft drink. There were vegetarian options which is a definite plus.
The dessert was fantasticly presented with a large slice of cheese cake with berries and sauce but the cake itself was quite soft and... melting. It was probably left out for too long but I wasn't too picky since it was a ridiculously large slice.
The prices were good for the meal and I left satisfied but not too impressed.

When I work in the area I order lunch from this place because it's cheap and it's of good quality. The servers are nice. The food comes at a reasonable time and prices are decent. They're willing to accommodate picky eaters like me without complaint.

It's a very good store. They're friendly and efficient. They make the food fast. They have a decent selection of salads and desserts along with meat options. The prices are reasonable.

This review is for Franklins, Menai NSW

It's not located in a major suburb so prices are higher. The staff are a pretty disheartened bunch. The selection of fresh food is quite low but the typical packaged stuff is all there. It's one of those places you shop when you need something urgently and it's close.
