Great atmosphere with a small cafe! A wide range of books and other Christian CDs, DVDs etc... You should be able to find what you are looking for. It's rare to find shops selling things related to Christianity, that are so modern! It looks newly renovated (not sure if it actually is) and it feels nice to just enjoy a cup of coffee there. Parking is always a bit of a hassle.

Stocks all the items you'd look for in an Asian grocery store, the tofu, herbs etc. A large selection of drinks and snacks. Also a lot of premade Chinese snacks that I love like the Chinese version of Mochi. They now have a little stand selling macarons and also next to it is a nice bubble tea store that's connected to it I think. The service is normal and it's layout is like most average Asian grocery stores. It's not my first preference when shopping for Chinese ingredients.

The items here are actually incredibly cheap! I bought nice jeans for only 15 dollars and afterwards heaps of my friends complimented me! I bought my daughter a nice black skirt, one of those ones that wrap around you, for only 4 dollars! It's amazing how low the prices are. However some items' quality are average and some you'll find are very nice for it's price. It's just a matter of hunting around. They also have a garden section making it even more useful! It's conveniently located and the store is pleasant enough.

Great place to buy gifts that are cute! My daughter loves this place and I've been with her a few times. The Korean staff are very nice and speak good English. The photobooths are cute and reminiscent on Asian culture! It's like being in Korea. They've also started selling Korean music (KPOP) but that's a bit expensive and they have some Korean merchandise like SNSD calenders etc. They have some very affordable items placed in a table which includes prepackaged little gift packs with books, pens etc.

I love this place and go to if for a majority of my skincare! They are situated in the City Cross Arcade in Rundle Mall and have a small but helpful team (usually only 1 or 2 girls there). They give you a lot of advice that's personalised for your skin type! Very very helpful. They stock a lovely range of Asian brands of makeup like BB cream and other moisturisers, hyrdration masks etc. I'm using their Blackcurrant Blackhead remover which was on sale and that's been working very well! They have a card which you can rack up points each time you buy something, a great little scheme. Their range of nail polishes are also quite nice, heaps of colours!

Like other members said, it's run by a husband and wife duo which is why sometimes you might have to wait a while. They are very friendly and all smiles! Makes the experience nice. One time I showed the husband a picture of what I wanted and he was able to modify the haircut to suit my face shape and hair! It's affordable at 20 dollars a cut for females... Also they have a card where you can stamp it each time, and then on the nth one you get a free haircut! Good if you're a regular like me! I have been going there for 4 years now and each time I've went away with a nice cut!

Yum! I often bring my child here for lunch, they have nice food, a combination of Korean and Japanese dishes. They have sushi which you have to pre-order, the sushi is alright, not the best out there which is why I recommend their Korean food. They have all your famous dishes like bibimbap, dolsot and spicy pork! You've also got Japanese dishes like Tonkatsu (average) and okonomiyaki (wouldn't recommend...) They also have nice Soju (korean beer). The menu isn't too big and the shop itself is also small but gets quite a lot of business.

I've given this small restaurant a 5 out of 5 because I absolutely loved their Korean meals... they had a nice Ddeokbokki dish which tasted quite similar to the type I bought in the snack stands in Seoul. It's quite small and has few staff members, if it's busy you might find yourself waiting a bit longer, but generally the food came out very quickly! It got a bit stuffy but that was probably because the Korean dishes we ordered were all hot and it was a stuffy summer evening! They have other traditional meals and it's opened by a Korean family, I believe, which is why they know what they are doing!

A large menu, most with insanely cheap food! The price is low with generous sizes! Seafood dishes were about 10 dollars!! The service is normal and the quality of food was also normal - nothing too flash but some nice flavours that were traditional! I'd recommend this place!

When I went it was before their renovation sonthe place was a bit small and the food was average. We found a lot to complain about with each main course, starting with the duck and the tofu. The price was okay, but I felt I paid a but too much for the quality of the food...
