If you love dumplings you'll love Maneys. Their soups & the Chinese dishes I've tried have all been great (I'm half Chinese & very critical with Chinese food as my husband will tell you!). I LOVE their fried chive dumplings. We order take away from them all the time because it's easier than dining in without booking because it becomes crowded quickly. The service is pretty good - the guy at the counter is friendly and efficient and they have Chinese newspapers to flick through while you wait which is a nice thought. If you want Chinese for good value, this is the place. My only criticism is the won ton is just ok. If you know how to make your own, then just order the dumplings!

This review is for Flakey Jake's Fish & Chips, Bundoora VIC

As a local resident, Flakey Jakes is my favourite fish & chip shop around. It's always clean & doesn't have that greasy atmosphere a lot of fish & chip shops have when you walk in. They're always quick to serve you and I've never experienced a negative encounter or a grumpy face when doing so. The food is great. Their burgers are tasty without feeling fatty and are value, their chips are cooked to perfection, their deep fried mars bar is the first one I ever tried & I loved it, and their potato cakes are the best. The fish is cooked very well - although it's a little pricey for the size (the whiting in particular). They have a good lunch deal special as well. I go there on Good Friday and even when it's packed, they don't make you feel like you're an annoyance.

Approximate cost: $8-10
