I have been the this place many many times in the last ~5 years. The food has always been good, though not great, but I had a particularly bad experience about 2 years ago (the food was just really salty and disgusting that one time) and I had avoided it since. However, I have found that in the past year it has improved again with better consistency. In fact, I have been there several times in the last months as I have discovered they have a really good value meal deal -- $39.90 for two (but there's enough food to eat 4) OR $59.90 for 4 (but there's enough food to eat 6). The meal deal includes: soup, 2dishes (for 2) or 4 dishes (for 4), a plate of vegetables and rice! The dishes you can choose from range from soft shell crab (my favourite!) to fried noodles to Beef brisket pot. The serving size is HUGE. You will need to pack doggybag home trust me! The flavour is good, sometimes a little too salty, but for that price and portion size it's good value!

A friend highly recommended this sushi place, and I have tried it several times in the last 6 months --- I can say it is hands down the best value and freshest sushi takeaway place in Brisbane! They have increased their prices slightly 2 months ago, but still great value! Most sushi are $2.30 to $2.80 a roll, and stuffed generously with filling. My favourite is the salmon+avo and the lobster+cream cheese. The spider roll is average, probably the rice dampens the crispiness of the fried soft shell crab. Best part is they give you FREE Japanese mayo! Great variety of sushi rolls and unbelievable value. During peak lunch hour there is usually a line so be prepared to wait. I know they have several other LR sushi stores in Brisbane CBD but I always come to this one at MacArthur Central.

We went there on a Saturday morning before 10am, easily got a table for 3, but the café gradually got busy. There is take-away option available. Suitable for small groups only – most tables only fit 4 people max. Ordered an Egg Benedict --- $10 good value for the portion and quality of food served! They also have a variety of very tempting cupcakes, great for both adults and children. If I lived in the area I can definitely imagine coming here regularly on the weekends for brunch.

I came here with a friend on a Friday morning for brunch. Staff used ipad to place order, food served very quickly. Very nice environment and décor; one of the specialities they have is fresh juices in a jar. I was able to get a decent brunch below $15, which is cheap considered it's in the CBD. Food are nicely presented.

A family friend recommended this place, so our large family of 6 decided to go for dinner on a week night. The day before, I tried calling to book a table, but I called almost 8times, and half the time I couldn't get through, and half the time when someone did pick up, the line quality was so poor I was unable to make the booking.

We rocked up at around 7pm, the place was packed and we had to wait about 20mins for a table. The fit out was very basic. The table and chairs were arranged very tightly. All the dishes had huge serving size; they are very generous with the use of ginger in most of the dishes. Presentation was below average, especially the lamb hot pot which came in a large stainless steel pot full of soup. The lobster was okay - the e fu noodles were very shredded for some reason. They gave free soup and dessert but didn't provide any hand washing bowls or wet towels for the lobster (other restaurants would normally provide this).

Overall tasty dishes and good value for money; good place to go for a family dinner.

My friend recommended this place as she's had her iPad screen and mobile phone fixed here. I just bought a new phone, and went to them to have my standard sim cut into a microsim (they provide this service for FREE even if you don't buy anything else!); I also had them stick on a screen protector for me ($8) and bought a case ($8) while I was there.
Great service and great price; would definitely return.

This review is for Unique Mobiles, Loganholme QLD

I came across Unique mobiles when I was looking through Click Frenzy. I bought the Samsung galaxy S3 4G 16gb for $468 Australian stock. I was very impressed this website clearly states whether the phone they stock is Australian or imported stock, as most websites always make it very ambigious. Prompt posting and delivery; phone working fine so far. The only thing was I found JB hifi was selling the same phone but the 3G model for $444!!! As mine is 4G it is still not expensive I guess but would've bought the 3G one if I knew it was on sale at JB hifi :P Regardless I would still buy from Unique mobiles again -- definitely the cheapest and most reliable Aussie stock mobile phones website I have come across

This review is for Kong Roger & Chu Sonia Dental Surgery, Runcorn QLD

I had loose tooth that needed to be fairly urgently removed. I phoned my local dentists and none of them had any appointment available, so I googled around and found this dental practice. Luckily they could fit me in very quickly, and the price was cheaper than my usual dentist ($120 vs $160). The receptionist was very polite and helpful; the procedure was quick; but the dentist used 2 doses of anaesthetic which I thought may have been excessive, as the tooth was already extremely loose. Otherwise I would've given 5 stars!

This review is for Noodle Haus, Carindale QLD

verified email - 30 Jun 2013

I've been meaning to try this place for a while, as I've had dinner at their Yum Cha Cuisine restaurant and thought it was not too bad at all. Everything at Noodle Haus is $8.80 --- over 10 different varieties of noodle or rice dishes. I decided to have the Wonton noodle soup for lunch.

First of all, I like how it's served in on solid paper bowl, as I hate hot noodle soup in plastic bowls. The wontons are prawns wontons (some places make pork wontons which are not so nice in my opinion), and the noodles are cooked just right. The serving size is just right for me for lunch. When I finished all the noodles, I decided to try a bit of the soup. When I have noodle soup outside I rarely drink the soup as it always have msg; but the soup was surprising light and tasty, and as far as I can tell, there is no msg in it.

Overall, good quality food, fast service but definitely not the largest serving size for Asian fast food.

Approximate cost: $8.80

This place serves Hong Kong and Taiwanese desserts. Not many places in Australia has Hong kong style desserts, so definitely worth a try if you havn't before! I can see they are trying to replicate a dessert chain in Hong Kong, they even copied the yellow square serving bowl. I tried the hot coconut tofu pudding, on first taste it was very nice, but after eating more of it I found the tofu tasted a bit funny, couldn't pin point what the problem was but the more I ate the more it tasted commercial and artificial instead of fresh. Anyhow, it satisfied my craving of Hong Kong dessert!
