half price sushi after five but not freshly made. a good selection of sushi, donburi, salads, deepfry, soup, sashimi and bento box. seems very popular with the lunchtime business crowd. Bento box w salad, rice, sushi rols and miso soup could be a little cheaper than the $12.50 but still a good feed.

Approximate cost: $20

Newly opened thai food cafe and takeaway along the Claisebrook Close waterway. Very friendly service and the food was ready in minutes. Great value for delicious pad thai filled right to the top of the container and a drink for $10.95. A great lunchtime treat.

Approximate cost: $10.95

thankyou to the lady who helped me with the settings on my phone. i'm desperate to get the access to my email but this current temporary phone doesnt want to let me in. she was honest enough to admit that she doesnt know how to fix it and provided a tech support number that i can call. i hope i get the same service when i get back to brisbane.

Thanks Kitty for a lovely day out. The cruise started off a bit late and a little disappointing when we had to turn back because the tide was too high to go under the bridge, but the bus was waiting and we didnt miss out on anything, where others on the tour got an added bonus of an extra winery. A great choice of well known and boutique labels, with good tastings. A pity we didnt know what we were drinking at the brewery but the chocolate warehouse was a good finish. Thankyou for dropping me back to my hotel, a valuable inclusion especially for ladies travelling alone.

Thankyou to Sally and the ladies at the WA Visitor Centre. They have been so friendly and helpful and work hard to find me the best deals, get good discounts and show me as much of the state as possible whilst I'm visiting. Looking forward to my next tour. Very impressed with the way every member of staff wants to help answer your every question, even if it means making an extra effort to find the answers. Thats how a travel and tourism office should be, making travellers feel very welcome.

stopped in to get information about a new iphone and in the process needed some help getting some programming on my current phone. the girl did it all for me in a matter of minutes without complaint. that is what i call good customer service, whereas i had previously been referred to the website.

stopped in to get a quote to replace my camera which was stolen overseas. the staff were really helpful, recommended the same product but with many more features and a slightly better deal than i originally paid. they advised me to wait until i got the insurance and then come in to buy the item, not heavy handed pushy sales on the spot. thats good customer service which will make me go back.

Approximate cost: $1500

would love to get pampered more often if it werent so expensive. the girls really make you feel comfortable, relaxed and send you away feeling revitalised. would love the special packages with several visits for massages and facials at a discounted rate more often.

Approximate cost: $120

had a large group booked for saturday lunch but the put us inside and still kept the music up so loud it was difficult to talk. menu was a good selection, i went for a lovely prawn salad starter which was good value but the dessert was just too big and overpriced as were the cocktails. couldnt taste the two liquers that were supposed to be in my $14 drink. service was a bit slow despite the limited customers and it took three attempts to get the bill. might go back again one day with a smaller group and give it another go.

Approximate cost: $20

fantastic yet again. a very proud family run business, papa handmakes every dish from scratch while you watch and delights in presenting beautiful platters of sushi. great value, freshest of fresh fish, very attentive service and my favourite venue when im home.
