This review is for Crossroads Parramatta, Parramatta NSW

They had a wide range of lovely dresses to pick from. My friends and I had been shopping all day and couldn't find a formal dress that we liked until we got to the store. I liked how they had a big range of sizes available as I found a correct size for a dress I liked.

It was about closing time but the staff was very patient with us and didn't rush us, even giving us some suggestions and compliments. The dresses were at a reasonable price and were good quality.

I went along to eat dinner with some older friends of mine (didn't drink alcohol because I'm underage). Apparently the drinks were quite cheap and I had their Caesar Salad and a lemonade. The food was quite worth it for the size (couldn't finish my salad!) and came fairly quickly. I liked the system of the phone given for orders and it was hilarious when my friends mixed up the phones...

This review is for Cupcakes On Pitt, Chatswood NSW

verified email - 11 Feb 2011

I was very surprised at the opening of this store in Chatswood Westfield because I had always thought Cupcakes on PITT would remain on PITT street. Nevertheless I was very happy because I frequent Chatswood more than the CBD.

The cupcakes are pretty much the same as the original enterprise; absolutely adorable and quite yummy. They are quite small and pricey but they're irresistable. I love buying 2-4 because of the cute little cupcake boxes they give you (which are also the perfect size for a quick treat or gift to a friend/colleage).

The store has a pleasing layout, with a lovely small chandelier light and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Approximate cost: $2.50

This review is for Galaxy World, Sydney NSW

verified email - 11 Feb 2011

I prefer this Galaxy world much more than the Market City one.
Although it is smaller and less new/clean than the MC one, it's really good value for money. My favourite deal is the "triple treat tuesday" which has recently expanded to tuesday as well (you charge $20 and you get $30 bonus so, $50 altogether).

The games are updated (some of them) however some of the tekken machines have joysticks that don't work, which is quite frustrating when you're in the middle of a game.

A suggestion would be that they install aircon for upstairs and downstairs as it gets quite stuffy and hot, especially in summer.

This review is for Galaxy World, Haymarket NSW

I was really hyped when I heard that this Galaxy World had been moved, renovated and expanded at Market City, along with a new bumper car attraction. However, I was quite disappointed when I arrived to find the prices were quite high especially for the bumper cars (although I can't remember how much exactly, it was quite the rip-off).

Compared to the George Street Galaxy world, there isn't much difference (other than the bumper cars) with the same games (although it is much more spaced out and also has newer? machines and children's rides (the type you put a gold coin in).

The prices definitely need an improvement.
The staff were eager to help but were quite slow in working, so I had to wait a long while to get my card problem fixed. (My george street galaxy world card didn't work for some reason so I had to go buy another one..)

This review is for Mizuya Japanese Restaurant And Karaoke, Sydney NSW

verified email - 11 Feb 2011

I've been to Mizuya a few times, once for a karaoke room+food party and the others just for food.

My review for karaoke:
The room was quite nice and spacious with a big LCD tv screen for karaoke. It was quite fun slowly ordering our food on the touchscreen menu and they arrived fairly quickly. The karaoke system was disappointingly the oldstyle database type which is harder and takes longer to choose songs and navigate. The english songs were fairly recent and there were quite a lot of asian songs.

My review for food and other:
The food is rather flashy, pleasing to the eye and tastes lovely. However, it's not really worth the small portions you get. It's always best to share a big meal with a friend because it is much more worth it. The icecream was delicious.

The service was prompt and they were friendly and helpful.

This review is for CEO Karaoke, Sydney NSW

verified email - 11 Feb 2011

The rooms are extremely nice; very clean and they all have their own funky theme. The whole of CEO karaoke has an impressive interior. If you are a student, the prices are very cheap, if not, during happy hour it's $15 for 2 hours, each person. Which is still quite affordable.

The staff are quick to answer calls from your room (called 3 times, twice because the remote ran out of battery and one mike ran out of battery). As mentioned just then, the wireless mics were a treat but they ran out of battery quite quickly. Which was annoying.

The karaoke system is terribly had to control though. I very much prefer the book+code system, rather than this complicated database system. The english music was quite outdated, with the "new songs" listing songs from over 5 years ago in the first few pages. There was a disappointing amount of new korean and japanese songs, although there were many chinese songs to be found.

This review is for Morning Glory, Haymarket NSW

verified email - 11 Feb 2011

They have a HUGE variety of cute, asian accessories/stationery for sale. Since the store spans three levels, it's always fun to explore and look for items you want to buy. The sales assistants are always friendly. The prices are average for the quality of the item, which differs depending on what it is. Their pens are my favourite products; cute, cheap and last forever!

I often buy stationary+gifts from Morning Glory because it's one of my favourite stores.

This review is for Woolworths, Northbridge NSW

verified email - 11 Feb 2011

The whole interior has recently been spiffed up with new signs, "renovated" sections and it's all quite pleasing to the eye.
Prices are pretty normal, although because of the floods/cyclone, the prices of banana's have shot up from $2.95 to $5.95 per kilo. Which is expected.
The staff are quite friendly but sometimes have poor english abilities, which is unfortunate when you're in a hurry, trying to ask where an item is. Otherwise, most are very helpful.

This review is for Kinokuniya, Sydney NSW

verified email - 11 Feb 2011

As a frequent purchaser of manga (graphic novels) I am very grateful to have Kinokuniya and their wide range of manga to choose from. Their staff are always friendly and ready to help you out and the layout of the store is very nice. The costs of the books are a bit pricey however, there are often sales. Their range of international books (ranging from manga that is still in its original language to novels) and updated magazines is very impressive.

Their stationary section is also very impressive with lovely, unique items of exceptional quality (although quite expensive).
