My colleagues and I came here for a team lunch one day. Many of them had been there before and had raved about it but I was skeptical because I already had a favourite ramen restaurant in Sydney. I was blown away! They had so much variety available plus much more than ramen. I had the japanese curry ramen and loved it. One tip is to get there early if you are having lunch. We got there at 11:45 and there was already a line out the door. We managed to all get seats together but this might be difficult if you go a bit later in the lunch peak.

My favourite thing about this salon is the decor. It is immaculately decorated with light and dark wood accents and it is very nicely lit. The service is received here was great as well. While I didn't have a regular hairdresser who I saw, I received consistently good service. I trusted them when I cut 30cm in length off my hair and they did a great job. The price is great too. They charge $140 for a cut colour and blowdry. I have been to other similar hairdressers in the area that charge $170.

I searched for a regular hairdresser for so long until I found this salon! I won a $50 voucher for Maganda Hair a few months ago and decided to try them out. I was booked in with Danielle who has since become my regular stylist. She's so polite, talkative and is a perfectionist which is great for me considering I have a very blunt straight fringe. Many hairdressers that I have seen in the past don't take the time to make sure my fringe is straight so I have been very happy with the service I have received from her so far. Looking forward to my next appointment in a few weeks!

A great quality gym with really friendly staff. There are not a lot of functional fitness machines available and during peak times it is hard to get a machine for an adequate amount of time before you feel like you having to get up to give someone else a turn. The weights room out the back is also a bit of a boys club which makes going into that room to use the machines a bit intimidating (I'm a female). Consequently this means I've never actually used any of the machines in that room. I also wish there were more classes on but definitely understand they can only run classes when there is peak demand for them. There are always lots of cardio equipment though which is good. Overall a really great gym.

LOVE the ramen from this restaurant! It's so reasonably priced for dinner and the quality is great. You can get a shoyu noodle soup with pork for $9 and it is always so tasty and the meals are always so consistent. I have been here many times and have never had a bad experience. Service is ok but I wouldn't expect much more from a place this cheap. Definitely recommend

The restaurant was not very busy and had plenty of tables available on a Friday night which made me a bit apprehensive but my friends and I had already made the decision to eat there earlier so we took our seats and made our orders. The food was great. We ordered peking duck, salt and pepper squid, pad see eew and massaman lamb. Everything was very tasty - with the exception of the salt and pepper squid which was strangely sweet. It appeared like there was maybe cinnamon in the batter which we all thought was very strange and didn't compliment the other flavours of the dish. The service was good, our water glasses were constantly being filled and there was always someone available if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend

When we arrived for breakfast we were told the kitchen was busy and it would take approximately 20 minutes for our food to arrive. We weren't in a hurry and were thankful for the heads up from staff so it wasn't too much of an issue for us. It was therefore a surprise when our food arrived a few minutes however I wish it had taken a little bit longer because the quality was very average. I ordered a bacon and egg roll which was not anything special considering I expected more from a restaurant in the middle of Bondi. My boyfriend ordered a big breakfast for $18.50 and it was nothing more than a few items thrown on a plate. Both meals looked like something I could have made at home myself. We both left very disappointed!

Great hole in the wall bar hidden in Cronulla mall. A refreshing change from the abundance of sports bars in the area. Great quality drinks, occasionally with a selection of house made syrups and juices. Definitely recommended!

My friends and I held a hens night here and brought a party of 22 people. The restaurant boasts that it is "perfectly suited to private functions" however I disagree. The venue is tiny and we did not have our own space, meaning the party was hardly private. We each paid $49 for the set menu that included a welcome drink, canapes, unlimited pizza and dessert. Our booking was at 7pm, we arrived on time however did not receive any canapes until 8pm. We then did not receive any pizza until 9pm. This meant the number of pizzas provided to us was hardly "unlimited". We didn't even have time to ask for more pizza before the dessert was bought out to us. We left feeling hungry and disappointed. We were provided with complimentary cocktails due to the delay however this did not help much as all we really wanted at that stage was food. Very disappointing!

Initially, I thought this cafe was a great little gem in the heart of Cronulla. Unfortunately, I have been constantly disappointed in each subsequent visit for dinner or drinks. They constantly ignore special food requests by customers and the service has been increasingly terrible. Staff can be dismissive and rude - it is often hard to get their attention and the wait for orders to be taken is long. The upside is the food is great - I remember once ordering a lamb souvlaki wrap which was very tasty.
