Extremely small restaurant opposite Safeway on Devon Plaza. Food is very average and service minimal. We ordered taro meal but they gave us pumpkin instead becuase they were out of taro but never mentioned it to us if it was okay and charged us the same price.

Gym is quite spacious and looks still new. Very limited car parking though and some nights I have to park really far in suburbun streets. Staff are really nice and good choice of classes after hours.

I got a Livingsocial voucher and decided to try this small deli/cafe. The staff are friendly and nice but food is a bit overpriced. We had Boscastle pies which cost around $5 at David Jones but here they charge $8 for them. Coffee was nice though

Very tasty and authentic Korean food, however a bit pricey for Korean. The owners are Korean and their stone pot rice spicy chicken is delicious. Serving sizes are small. They come with 4 or 5 side dishes.

Great value for money and their pizzas are terrific; pastas not so nice. Portions are huge. I like this La porchetta rather than the others that I have tried

I tried 2 Fernwoods, this one and Mitcham and Mitcham was much friendlier. The new membership lady at Bulleen is really pushy and uses pressure tactics to get you to join as well as calling you up multiple times a day. I do not recomment this gym at all.

Step aside Flower Drum, this Chinese restaurant has better food, heaps better value and better ambience. Service in my opinion is better too as it is less intrusive, at flower Drum they have a waiter per table that just stands there and looks at your eat, I prefer my privacy any day. This is located on Yarra River overlooking the river too, not is some dingy alley way in Chinatown like Flower Drum.

Really good value for lunch at $11.80 including a drink of your choice. The portions are generous too. Don't expect high quality food though. Dinner is a bit pricier and I would stay away.

Great place for social dancing. Staff and social dancers are a lovely friendly group, almost like a family atmosphere. The owners Mel and Peter are wonderful too. Lots of social activities and events. Great fun if you don't want to take dancing seriously.

I purchased a group deal for hair straightening a few months back and visited them in September 2012. I had Yumi as well and she was excellent. Lucky I hadn't read the google reviews as noted in the previous comments as they were very negative and would have scared me off. I am very happy with their hair straightening. After a few months now it is still very straight and I don't feel my hair has been damaged. I get my hair straightened every year in Box Hill and usually go for Japanese Thermal conditioning which takes 4-6 hours and cost $250+. This Shiseido treatment at Cinderella only took 1.5 hours and is just as good as the other straightening I have tried and cost me $99. I will definitely go back next year once my hair has grown out again. They are Korean and speak very little English though, and the salon needs renovating, however I am very happy with their hair cutting and straightening.
