It used to be a lot better here but wit the economy I think it has slipped a bit. Not quiet as cheap or fresh as it was, but overall better than some others around. They have lovely lowers aswell and the deli and meats are quiet good.

these guys have been here for a while now. I went into today with my mates. We all had neck, back shoulder for 30mins for 35 bux. Not bad for the price, but this is average for chinese massage and maybe a bit more expensive as it costs more to rent in the Plaza. Overall very good, I had a young guy and he was great. I hadnt been for a while but it was worth it.

Approximate cost: $25

I love this place. They do acupuncture and Chinese massage. You can have it done with oil if you prefer. Its a great price, pretty much 1 dollar a minute. I get head back shoulders for 30min for 30 bux! Bargain! It really does fix your sore spots, can be a bit painful for e first time though!

Went here tonight. Cant believe I hadn't seen this place before. Very nice and modern, maybe needs a bit more colour but overall quiet classy inside. Ordered chilli prawns with avo and tomato salsa for entree and my partner had garlic prawns. Both were great, myn was outstanding flavours! Ordered a lamb pasta for main and my partner had seafood risotto. Sadly at this point she got sick (not food related) and didn't enjoy hers, myn wasn't what I expected as the lamb was pureed and placed in pasta. It was ok but I wouldn't have it again. Hers was a bit bland. Overall the service was great, staff were attentive and I will go back again. It cost 113 bux for that plus a garlic bread, 2 bottles of sparkling water and a pepsi. Not bad as aside from our mains I can see the food is very fresh and tasty and would like to try some other things on the menu.

Went here tonight and had the banquet for 25 ph. We had wonton soup starter, mongolian lamb and lemon chicken with fried rice for main and fried ice cream for dessert. The soup was nice, the lamb tasty but the lemon chicken was in supa thick batter and fluro sauce, not great. Rice was ok but the worst was the ice cream as it was just out of freezer and awful. Overall it was ok but should have just ordered dishes not banquet.

I love this place. The best Shish Kebab ever! I always order the shish kebab wrap meal. So for 9 bux you get the lamb shish kebab and sald and toum, with their awesome chips (massive) and a can of drink. The shish on its own is only 6 bux. It is very fresh, lovely tabboulleh and toum (garlic dip) and the salads are very fresh too. But really the lamb I cant go past its soooo tasty. A must try for lovers of this food! They also do plates, chicken shish tawook and other tasty dishes.

OK they do have great steaks, no doubt about that. But the issue is their veges are awful and are their other side dishes. Why put so much effort into the steaks and let yourself down with cold frozen veges? Last night I ordered the Alfredo Prawn pasta and it was really awful, it was gluggy, hard and made me feel sick, so I couldnt finish it. I was disapointed. Im not a lover of their bread either and I dont know many who are. In saying this the service was brillant the young asian girl that had our table was lovely and very attentive. I would go back as I love their steak but I will not deviate from the menu again.

Went here today for a quick steak lunch! Yum! I ordered a 300 gram steak with prawns, chips n salad. My partner had a 300 gram steak with veges and mash and dianne sauce, we both had a soft drink. It cost 74 bux, but was well worth it. The steak was tender and the salad was fresh. My partner loved her steak and the veges were fresh and tasty. A big thumbs up from me, will go back again!

This review is for Pho Ben Vietnamese Restaurant, Parramatta NSW

I went here today with a workmate as we were training today. We both had Pho and a side order of spring rolls.The Pho was tasty, not as good as Pho Real at Campbelltown but close. It came with the sides of bean sprouts and basil, it was a good size side dish. The spring rolls were large and tasty. Overall it was quiet good but not a wow! The service was fast and friendly and the decor was as you expect for a viet house experience. I would go back if here again, the Hainan chicken looked awesome! It cost $19 ph with a serving of spring rolls each, a Pho and a can of drink, not bad. The spring rolls were 7.50 and as I said a big serve, we should've had just on!

Approximate cost: $10

I used to go here a lot when I lived at Mac Fields. Went back today to meet a client for brunch. The food isgreat, I had chips and bacon cheese toastie and so did my client, she also had a smoothie which she raved over. They can be a bit slow with the drinks sometimes, but the menu is extensive and their specials are great. Like before 11:30 am its about 7 dollars for a full breakfast, 2 eggs anyway, bacon, toast and a snag! Its a family run business and they are lovely people!

Approximate cost: $6
