if you are a fan of big brunch/breakfast, this shop has a specialty on eggs-benedict because of their brioche. Pretty tiny and sometimes cramps if you decided to stay inside. Overall, if you like breakfast on weekend, worth to visit.

Back in uni days, this good value chinse restaurant was always worth to visit. Being a uni student with limited budget, the big serving is a must. Famous for its salt and pepper calamari and snake beans with minced pork.

If you want to eat in, you gotta be early, always full with students and non students. Good value for money esp for students cash flow. Unfortunately, the sambal chilli is not for free anymore.

Upper north shore has very little asian restaurant, so locally my family always go this resto. The best dishes are tea smoke flavour duck, you have to pre-order at least 24 hours, best to order 3 days in advance so that you get the crispy duck. The noodles always good and pork in foils are also their best dishes.

Occasionally visit this resto if I am craving for its soft shell crab with salted duck eggs. The best dish of soft shell crab I have ever eaten. We tried most of their food, the peking duck, noodles, chrysanthemum fish are probably their specialty. Nice host (Judy) and service is always up there. Recommended this resto to anybody.

Some dishes are exceptionally good, the overall rate of the food are somewhat satisfactory.The ambiance is considered good because of the wooden table and chairs, you can also sit outside to soak the sun. It is targeted mainly to people who works in north ryde area.

Good coffee most of the time, value differences between this shop and Sydney olympic park, perhaps because of the shop setting.

My regular indo resto if i visit eastern suburb, supposed to be good food and good value, unfortunately, myself and my friends were disappointed. Not sure why, we asked whether they change the cook but they said no.

Couple weeks ago, friends of mine came for a visit from overseas, so 8 of us decided to go to Ad lib bistro, I live nearby so I agree. The menu are simple but nice, the descriptions also appealing. Nice ambiance and setting, the service was excellent. The drawback is perhaps the price. Then again it comes with the quality of food, it is a fine dining after all. Unfortunately, the raspberry souffle was disappointing. We were expecting the real souffle not the fluffy one.

I am regular shopper at this Myer shop as it is close to home, the overall experience was somewhat reasonable. The prices ranges from low to high, it is always a good time to shop when Myers have mid season sale or other sale otherwise like other shop, you shop there because of convenient. The other improvement that I'd suggest is the service and the shop decoration and setting, some part are nicely decorated like the crockery and cutlery section other places look like a run down.
