I love getting my nails done here because they are not noisy like other nail salons. They have recently moved to Chatswood Chase with a very generous store expansion and needless to say this store is also very clean. Definitely need to book if you want to make sure you get your time slot.

I love this family owned hair salon because they are very personable and young. Team is very in touch with hair products especially asian hair but that is not to say they do not cater for other hair types. I love their hair washing basin that does not require your to break your neck at a very comfortable sitting position. Nice and neat little shop, simple decorations makes you feel comfortable unlike big chain stores or self proclaimed trendy salons which seem unapproachable.

Just like it's shops in Europe Whittard is a great place to purchase tea and accessories. I personally love the tea powders that comes in different flavours which only requires cold water to diffuse. So glad that Whittard is no longer 10000 Miles away

Nice casual cafe. Had breakfast there after a swim on the beach over the weekend. The atmosphere was really relaxing, and they make a really great latte! Staff are really warm and welcoming. I really like the traditional hearty breakfast options they serve, bacon and eggs with sausages tomato and toast!

Long wait, but good food and it's very justifiable. I remember that chicken pizza we had (sorry don't know the names of the pizzas as I didn't order) goodness me it was good. the traditional crust that you can eat and actually enjoy. Absolutely don't understand those people who throw away pizza crust.

Great variety of choices of meat, seafood and vegetarian food. Had a great time there with for a friends birthday. Service was really nice and the place felt like a nice traditional Korean restaurant. The stone hotpots were particularly nice, and the potato rice noodles went down really well! Great for a late night out with friends!

My brother and I love this place and now we've even got our folks in. We always order a meat platter and some Korea Seafood Pancake. The side dishes that come at the beginning of the meal can be refilled. Yum Yum Yum.... delish is an understatement. It's simple but can wow you over and over again. Try the seseame and oil with your meats.

Spent an anniversary dinner there and it was quite nice. Food was good but it is no longer exceptional. Service has also gone downhill a little. The view is still amazing as we had booked in advance we got a table on the balcony over looking the Sydney Harbour. I think we order 2 entrees and one main with a glass of wine each. The atmosphere and ambiance was magical

Definitely value for money, it's good really good and food true to the taiwanese markets and stalls. if you are low in the cash department come here and grab a couple of containers of ready made food at $3 ea and eat with some rice at home or some yangchun noodles. I often have their food sitting at home for about 3 days in the fridge incase I need them for unexpected guests or just feeling extra lazy. If you order a meal at $7.50+ don't forget to add $0.50 for an upgrade to Taiwanese sweetened black or green tea.

Yakiniku, sushi, shashimi, snacks and all. Up for a drink? then perhaps try some Japanese Sake or even Japanese beer. Good price range and good food range to suit every budget and appetite. The restaurant can usually take fairly big table bookings. I've once had a party of 10+ all sitting together at a long table. It was very nice and memorable
