I've 6 accountants before in the last 11 years in Australia. My experience so far about tax accountants is they just do the minimal on tax return advice and advise structure to benefit themselves for more set up or audit costs. Also, many don't tell you any upfront costs associated with certain extra little services or advice resulting in nasty bill surprises. As such, I really have bad impression and high expectation on accountants.

So far, Giang is the best in every area! She is very efficient, very knowledgeable and her price is very reasonable. I can't be more happy than her service. She will keep me informed on when is her turnaround. She will advise me where I can maximise my tax return. She even produces a spreadsheet on to assist my decision whether to change a new car in future and the expected tax savings. She has also pointed out calculation mistake previous accountant had made. In short, she is value adding than just doing the minimal. I'm in a dilemma to write this review as I know she is going to have a flood of new customers that potentially could reduce her service quality. Having said, I believe she needs to be rewarded for the great work she has done and will be doing.

Thank you very much, Giang!

I am very impressed by Lain's service level and professionalism. This has been experienced in few occasions.

Firstly, we agreed to meet up on a job engagement. He was held up by the other engagement prior to mine due to the weather. Not only did he informed me along the progress that he will be late, he actually arrived at my place and asked if I want to do it another day if that's not urgent as it was quite late when he arrived. I agreed. Very impressed by his sincerity.

He came to cut a hole in the cabinet for my new oven. He misread the configuration measurement. On the day the oven was installed, the measurement was out by few centimeters. I've contacted Lain indicating the urgency as the electrician was here. He arrived in 30mins and begin fixing that together with another task. He put in close to 2 hrs time to fix the oven hole he cut over the size. He is very accountable and volunteer to waive the 2 hours off. During that time, I've asked him to fix my bench top hole. It was pretty complex but he was quick to think out of the box and resolved the issue. We later agreed on a sum that benefits both parties.

Lain is such a good resource to have. I'm almost hesitant to write him a good review as I believe he will have many more business after this good review - similar to few other tradesmen I've previously reviewed (their business is now thriving and I've to wait weeks for their service). However, I believe he should be handsomely rewarded.

In short, Lain's price is very reasonable, he is very accountable for his actions, he can think out of the box quickly when issues arise and he is very approachable and he is very honest guy with great integrity! Thumbs up! Best handyman I've met for the last 11 years in Melbourne.

Recently bought a washing machine from them. They delivered the NEXT day!

Their price is better than any other retails and retails need few days to send with one need me to travel there to place deposit.

Best of all, the delivery service is the best. The waiting period is 2 hrs unlike others asking you to wait at home from 4hr to 8hr. They even send you text and email when there is delay! Thumbs up!!!

The place is spacious and clean. Although the queue is very long during peak time, you get to your seats at a very reasonable time.

The waiting time for food is reasonable. The food is delicious and price is value for the ambience and service.

The place is very cramp as owner is putting many tables into the space. If you have a baby pram, you don't have space to open. It's also very noisy where you can hardly hear your mates speak. They will chase you out of the place within 1hr for the next group.

Having said, the food is nice and price is reasonable.

The service is very fast with ample seating arrangement. However the price is pretty steep compared to its peers around the area. Also, the waiter or waitress assume you know what to do to add sauce to the dry noodle to have taste

Approximate cost: $14

My wife is undergoing medical treatment and I found this nanny services to look after my children as she will be struggling to provide basic needs to the children.

I've been sending her in and out of hospital and managing many other things including the two children for the last month. I've been corresponding with the managing director of this centre for the past 2-3 weeks on the arrangement and asking the right questions to send nanny to look after my children.

To my horrid, this managing director ran out of patience yesterday. Telling me I'm wasting her time and asking so many questions that leads to nowhere. I told her she should have empathy on our situation and she should be patient to her customers. She indicated she doesn't need to be patient and I'm not her customers - she is trying to help our family situation. I can't believe such customer service attitude can survive in this service line. I'm very glad I'm not taking nannies from her to look after my children as well since her impatient and poor attitude could likely be infected to her nannies treating towards my children and family.

I strongly ask potential customers to "test out" the patience level of this centre before leaving your children in their hand.

Ample sitting arrangement. The service is excellent with manager serving us. Also, it's not crowded on weekend and sufficient parking. The waiting time for food delivery is also reasonable and food is fresh. Just the price of food is quite dear. Close to $190 for two adults and two children for a dinner with seafood and Beking duck

Approximate cost: $190

Have lived around this area for 10 years. Have not visited this restaurant before as it looks very unappealing from outside - dark and a chinese god burning with burning joss stick.

However, we tried once in Jan 2016. 9 months following that, this is the most frequent restaurant in Melbourne. The food is authentic, the sitting is spacious, the service is excellent. the price is reasonable for the big portion. Just don't sit too near the burning joss stick :-)

Approximate cost: $11

Heard of this top quality restaurant and gave it a try. The food is very fresh. However, the alacart menu is hard to interpret if I'm not a Japanese. Also, they going to charge me $99 per head for each child (3 and 10) if we were to go for the bar dinner and we can't share the bar seafood with the children despite sitting on the round (not bar table) - very inflexible.
