I discovered this Neat Little Secret when visiting the Shopping Centre one day about 18 Months ago. It's actually quiet in there and this Restaurant has a really pleasant Ambient Atmosphere! There is a section with tables and seating, a sushi bar for those who prefer and a special little alcove area with tables and chairs, you could use for a group of people if you like to do that kind of thing. It is also suited for privacy.

The guy who waited on me was exceptionally nice. A serve of Sushi was a very reasonable price I thought (less than expected). It was of considerable length, artistically served with accompaniments. DELICIOUS!

I was astounded with the amount of dishes presented on their Menu - there is such a Variety - no wonder they call this Restaurant 'Sushi Planet' the name speaks for itself - wait till you see for yourself what's on offer there.

Overall, I find it a Wonderful Experience - ENJOY!

Called into this Restaurant when passing by a year ago and have been so busy, I remembered to go there again last week. Again, I saw their customers coming in Happy and going out Happy. Last time, I had 2 Takeaways that were Tasty and this time I Dined In and had 1 Takeaway. Their hostess Teresa is so Friendly and Courteous - she is also very Caring when people come in with walkers. I discovered this time, she has regular customers who have difficulty in walking - they leave there happy too!

What also impressed me this time and last time is elderly people love to go there too. A family member often says that seniors usually know the good Restaurants and Diners to go to "where you see lots of elderly customers, the food is always good" he has found.

I asked some customers what meal they like the best - most of them exclaimed Lemon Chicken! I tried Braised Chicken with Fried Rice with a small amount of Lemon Sauce (because I don't like batter much). This was Teresa's recommendation and it was Absolutely Delicious! Their Fried Rice was also a Surprise - it looks so presentable and has Veggies and tiny pieces of Ham added, an interesting mix. It was tasty!

Lunch Specials are only $8.00! on Thursdays and Fridays 12pm - 2pm and their building has big branches of Cherry Blossoms on it - so pretty!

This review is for Miss Hoi An Vietnamese Eatery, Felixstow SA

A family member introduced me to this really nice venue a week ago. We were greeted by the owner - a lovely friendly lady, contagiously happy and delightful - she graciously sat us down at a table, We had Satay Beef with Vietnamese Salad (with mint) Rice and Spring Rolls. All of this was Tasty Delicious!

I went back there 2 days ago to try their Beef Braise with Noodles which appealed to me a week ago. The room was full of Happy Customers! Everyone was having Generous Serves of Soup in Really Big Bowls. Soon after, I discovered my order is a Soup too - served with a separate dish of bean sprouts with Asian leaves and a wedge of lemon. WOW - what a lot of good healthy food to eat!

My family member and his friend like their Grilled Lemongrass Chicken and order it most times they go to Miss Hoi An's. They like the Friendly Staff and Atmosphere as well as the Tasty Food and Quick Service. So do I – happy I went there.

Open Hours are 11am - 8.30pm 7 Days, hey?

This review is for Best Farmline Fresh Fruit And Veg , Greenacres SA

verified email - 09 Jun 2019

I'm giving this young man 5 Stars for Everything - Overall Total for Service, Quality and Value. I met him 2-3 Wks ago at his Store in Greenacres Shopping Centre. I was So Impressed!

I was really wrapped, when I saw the Freshness of his Fruit and Vegetables and discovered they are Grown without Chemicals (virtually organic). He has his own Suppliers instead of the standard source of supply most Fruit and Veg Grocers purchase from.

Usually I go to the Farmer's Market (outdoors on the weekend) for produce like this. I've been pretty busy on weekends recently and FARMLINE FRESH was a Really Good Find!

I do part-time Independent Natural Health Research and I also enjoy conversing in Shopping Centres when 'out and about'. I had small discussions with the Owner and some of his 'Happy Customers'. So I am happy to give this Review Early - since the lovely Fresh Veggies I bought from him Stayed Fresh for quite some time. This Store is several kilometres out of my way but I am happy to go there whenever I can.

PS If you need cheering up, go and shop there because he is friendly and cheerful and this might be catchy. Plus you won't have all the sad chemicals in the produce you feed your family.

Well done, I salute you for your efforts and your prices are very reasonable. Cheers!

This review is for Best Cherry Blossom Sushi Bar , Ingle Farm SA

I've known this lady for quite some time - have been buying her wonderful Sushi. She commenced there with a little stand in the walkway and has gained so many customers by word of mouth (her customers locally and I am one of them) she is now situated in a proper shop in the Ingle Farm Shopping Centre - separate to the Food Court, like a mini Cafe-Restaurant. It has an Ambient Atmosphere - really lovely. Located between the Food Court and KMart.

We got to know each other a little sometime ago, when I am calling by for a Sushi, each time I was in the Shopping Centre and passing by her stand. I gave her lots of Complements and she gave me lots of Smiles. She is always thankful and appreciative, courteous and polite.

Most times I ordered the Californian Sushi Roll, the first few years and the last two years I have been buying her Teriyaki Sushi Rolls. The Californian Roll is always Yummy Delicious and her Teriyaki Rolls have a more subtle flavor than other Sushi Outlets - it isn't so strong and dominating. Also, I find that the Sushis she makes are not so dry, like others I have bought in different Shopping Centres - but rather, they are always MOIST and TASTY. I find her manner, her service and quality of food to be Consistent - she keeps a good standard!

This review is for Vella Pasta, Campbelltown SA

What a nice Family Business! We discovered this pasta food outlet about 3 - 4 years ago and we call in occasionally when we are over that way. We like the husband and wife team very much and their main worker, They always give us a friendly welcome and you can see they are genuine.

They have lots of Ready made Packs of different Pasta and Pasta Sauces plus Packs in different sizes they make up for you on the spot for reasonable prices. We like to buy Ravioli or Tortellini with Bolognese Sauce or Neapolitan Sauce - you can even combine the sauces. We do that sometimes. We haven't been there for a while and are going to call in and say Hi so we can pick up some more good eats!

Buying Pastas and Sauces there is just as if you are a good Italian Home Cook. Give it a try like we did, and be prepared to spend more - you will keep wanting to go back there, Guaranteed!

This review is for Bo Bos Asian Kitchen, Ingle Farm SA

I'm giving a 5* for Service because I like these girls, 3* for Value because they pack your containers well and 2* for Quality because I went there and had a lovely meal - it was Tasty and Reasonably Priced for 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 Combination Serves.

I met a lady at their counter being served and sat down with her. She said she always likes their food and goes there every 1 - 2 Wks and like I said, my meal was good too. However, when I went there a few weeks later, the serve was awful - tasting predominantly of Sugar and Soy Sauce which absolutely spoilt it, and that led to having to throw it out.

A Chinese friend told me many years ago that Authentic Chinese Meals do not have lots of Sugar and Oil added like many Chinese Food Outlets do in Western Countries like Australia. The flavours are more delicate and delicious because you can taste the subtle flavors of each ingredient. I used to go to a Chinese Restaurant for several years who made their meals the Authentic Way.

I went to Bo Bos again to have one more try, I've been apprehensive to do this. Other members may like to make a Review for this Shop. I do like the girls there - they are so nice and there is a shortage of Chinese Cuisine in my area.

I like to give Positive Reviews better than Negative Reviews. To be fair to them, I think they try to make their meals really tasty and in doing so, there's too much flavor in some of them. I asked them this time if I could have a sample taste of the sauce on a plastic spoon - they were happy to oblige - the taste was still too strong for me (and I like spice a lot) but their same 2 dishes were too 'Flavour Packed' for me.

I'm writing this Review for Members, rather than complain, so I will say: some of you may like your Chinese meals flavour packed. If you're not sure of theirs, ask them for a sample taste before you buy, to be sure. Take Care!

This review is for Middleton Tavern, Middleton SA

verified email - 09 Jun 2019

Well. what can I say? We were staying in Victor Harbour a few days for one of our Birthday Holidays and we were going to Mannum for mine this month but we discovered the astonishing Beach Views at Middleton - absolutely stupendous!

Next thing we were passing through the township looking for a Bakery and we discovered their Wonderful Diner as well as our absolute new favourite Bakery (across the road).

I stepped in there to see what their Veggie and Salad Bar is like. It was so full of Yummy Food Trays - both Hot and Cold - I had to call my Son to come in and have a LOOK - I mean to say, they had just Everything, Fresh and Colourful!

In addition to this, they have 5 different Lunchtime Specials each day for $9.95. You can order the Veggie and Salad Bar on it's own if you like and they serve a nice Exotic Piece of Garlic Bread with it and it's really SUPERB - the Best I've ever had would aptly describe it. Honestly, don't just take my word for it - try it for yourself, it's So Good! Their Chef brings 'Garlic Bread' to a totally New Level.

This Diner has a Real Ambience too - I won't describe it for you and spoil your SURPRISE! You just have to See It for Yourself. Hey?

So you guessed it - we are going to stay in Middleton for my Birthday again, so we can avail ourselves to their Excellent Diner and Excellent Bakery too (Home Grain Bakery). What Treats we have in Store!!!

Update August 2021: For reasons we all understand, the Diner cannot offer the Self-Serve Veggie and Salad Bar until things improve in Australia for that safety level but Donna and Maddie will still serve you graciously at the ordering counter. They're really nice.

And guess what? They still serve their fabulous Turkish Garlic Bread with a Serve of Soup (1 piece) for $8.90 or you can have 4 Pieces with Soup for $18.00 WOW! It's really Excellent - not your average piece of garlic bread.

This review is for YIROS 4 U, Ingle Farm SA

Hi there, looks like we're privileged to give the first review for our Favorite Yiros Bar - previous to this, we went to a Yiros Bar that is pretty popular in a different area. I think it was called Yiros Club. Sometimes their filling was generous but dry. It was then WE DISCOVERED YIROS 4 U in a local Shopping Centre we had not noticed before - we had been going to SubWay in the Ingle Farm Food Court and we felt like having something different. So glad we did. OH YUM!!!

We were welcomed and courteously greeted by the owners - a lovely couple! We had a nice Full Serve of Tasty Luscious YIROS! And we really like the Yogurt-Garlic Sauce there - they make it REALLY NICE not overpowering. This way, we can taste the ingredients Better and it's nice and Creamy too.

We have been going there for about 3 Years now and find them to be consistent in Service and Quality of Food. Bonus: they make 2 different Sizes - sometimes we fill ourselves up and sometimes we snack. They are still good serves.

Thank you for the many meals we have immensely ENJOYED at your marvelous food outlet and we are looking forward to many more!!!

This review is for Die Barossa Wurst Haus & Bakery, Tanunda SA

verified email - 09 Jun 2019

This is a nice German Bakery like you would expect to see in Harndorth. Situated on the main st of the township, with easy parking immediately around the corner if you need it.

The staff are really nice there - they give us a hearty welcome each time we go there. We like their Pasties - they have a little old-fashioned pepper in them. Sometimes we by a second one to take with us. Their Potato Pies are made to Perfection in appearance and taste! And their Vanilla Slices are tasty - we have half each after our Pie or Pasty.

Yes, you can dine-in there and they serve your sauce in a separate little dish and generously too. They also serve a few different meals their including a big breakfast that looks interesting. Their doors are open at 7am in the morning and close at 3pm. Not sure if that is a custom in Germany. This is 7 days a week!

Now closed after Pandemic. I leave this review to express our gratitude for times we enjoyed there.
