I popped in recently for a takeaway sandwich and expereienced good friendly service. The sandwich (meatball) was made in good time and tasted great. Portion size was good, not too big but definately enough to fill the average person. Flavour was great, meatballs were moist, onion rings were crispy and the bread fresh, doughy and slightly chewy which I like. Will definately be stopping by next time I'm close.

Approximate cost: $12.5

This review is for Petaling Street, Glen Waverley VIC

Food is ok, nothing too special. Price wise is as expected, around $10 per meal. Portion sizes are good, not too large but enough to fill you up. Cash only and parking was a bit of trouble as the area is fairly busy. While it is by no means unpleasant you probably won't be too fussed if you never made it back. Next time I'm in the area I will be trying some of the other places instead.

Approximate cost: $10-12

This review is for Happy Glaze Ceramic Cafe Art, Ferntree Gully VIC

Great place for kids and adults. We don't have kids but have been several times to paint ceramcs. Staff are friendly, there is a good range of things to paint and costs are resonable. Seems to be a popular place. I'm surprised at how many adults don't paint and just watch thier kids have all the fun. Items are quite durable, we've made mugs and bowls that have been through the dish washer loads of times over the last year or so and still like nice. Recommended if you are bored or want to entertain kids or adults for a few hours.

Approximate cost: $10-20

This review is for Thai Tables, Bayswater VIC

verified email - 22 Jun 2012

This place is quite good and add to the list of surprisingly good asian restaurants located in Bayswater (Pho and dumpings anyone?). From what we have tried the food is tasty and fresh. Prices are as expected (around $12 to $20) per dish and the portions sizes are good, definately enough to fill you up. Service was friendly and polite. We recently went on a Thursday night and the place was nearly packed out which is a good sign. Cards are accepted for orders over $25 and they seemed to be pumping out take away orders fairly quickly. One very minor point is that tables close to the door get a bit chilly, especially during cold winter nights.

Approximate cost: $12-20

This review is for The Imperial Hotel, Melbourne VIC

Went here for dinner before a rugby game in the city. Coming from the UK and having lived in Melbourne for a few years this is the first pub that reminds me of ones back home. The look and feel was like a British Pub and showing a rugby game in the background was great.

Food wise this place is satisfactory, portions looked a bit small when they came out but I think its more to do with the giant plates they serve on. By the end of my burger I was fairly satisfied. Prices are as you'd expect for inner city so no surprises there. Location wise its great, right next to Parliament Station exit so easy to get to.

Overall I had an enjoyable time at Imperial, now I have found a proper pub to watch rugby in while eating a burger I'll be going back for more.

Approximate cost: $20-30

This review is for A1 Cafe & Restaurant, Melbourne VIC

This place used to be better but has gone downhill recently. We used to eat here often as it was cheap and tasty. Now its just cheap. The last few times we have been here we have been disappointed, the pork in the noodles I had last time was just lumps of fat and grissle. Won't be going back here.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Persian's Flavours, Forest Hill VIC

The food here is good and the flavours are a little different from Indian. The venue isn't the best and when busy is very noisy and cramped. Service isn't too bad. The price is good though. If you are going on a Friday / Saturday night it would be better to book.

Approximate cost: $12-15

This review is for Sakura Kaiten Sushi, Melbourne VIC

One of the better sushi train restaurants in Melbourne. They have a varied assortment of dishes and the prices are decent enough .Service is friendly. The place is quite small so may struggle to get a place when busy. Recommended.

This review is for Mitcham Noodle Bar, Mitcham VIC

verified email - 08 Jun 2012

This noodle bar isn't too much different from other similar places but thats ok. Its pretty much what you would expect, decent portion of takeaway noodles for under $10. It will never blow you away but will keep you full for a decent price. Service and quick and easy. Cheap no hassle take away noodles.

This review is for Little Jade Dog Cafe, Mitcham VIC

Great little cafe tucked away in Mitcham. We have been here several times and have always been satisfied. Portions are a good size, not too small and not too big. Service is good and friendly. Pretty much what you would want from a local cafe. Its in close proximity to Maroondah Highway but the times we have been there, generally late morning/early afternoon weekends, the traffic hasn't been noticable. The cafe and seating is located in a pedestrian only area away from the highway and there are a few other cafes next door plus a supermarket. The volume of people from the other cafes and shops is just enough to add to the cafe atmosphere but not too much to feel overcrowded. I would recommend a visit.

Approximate cost: $10-15
