“Hi, I’m really disappointed with your food quality. It feels like you’re just taking customers’ money without giving proper value. Your chicken gyros were tasteless and oily — it seems you don’t really know how to make them right. You should honestly learn from CHICKING — their chicken gyros have perfect spice, taste, and oil balance. Please improve your quality if you want customers to come back.”

The atmosphere was 10/10 and the support from the team at Sweatshop was unbeatable. Thanks for being part of our perfect night.”

“A lot to choose from on the menu and got a kids playground out back. Decent sized portion.”

“Last night I had a not so pleasant experience but I am pleased to tell you they have an excellent manager, he redid my entire order. And I'm very impressed with their customer service satisfaction. Well done guys, I am a happy customer. Thank you. Will buy from here again.”

“No booking, seated 3 on entry. Your seated next to a train that carries entree sized servings of sushi, donburi, seafood, dim sims etc plus desserts, cream puffs, tiramisu, mouse etc. Continuous train. Simply grab the dishes you desire while seated and eat! Plates are color coded, these are how they tally up the total cost. Drinks list, soft drinks, red, white, beers, nothing extra. 3 people plus drinks ate till full, took home a fav each, $80.”

“It was our 1st time dining at a mexican eatery and the food was really good and so was the service, the staff were really friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend it for those who would like a 1st time good experience eating mexican food”

“We stumbled upon this place by chance and decided to give it a go. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming! We absolutely loved the banh mi and coffee. The owner even took the time to explain the coffee-making process, which was such a thoughtful touch! Definitely worth giving this local gem a try!”

“It was my first time to eat carl’s Real deal was reasonable price and delicious”

“Lunch menu starts from $22 per dish. A little pricey but understandable as they serve complimentary Chinese tea and soup and the portions were huge! One dish can actually feed two people but we wanted to try both the roast duck and roast pork. Roast duck was delicious and duck oil coated the rice, making every bite a delight. Roast pork was tender yet had a wonderful crunchy skin. Admittedly, towards the end, it got a bit cloying as it was quite rich but the Chinese tea helped in refreshing our palates. Unexpectedly the restaurant is bigger on the inside and looks like any typical Chinese restaurant. Service was fast (don't blink) - received our food within 15 minutes. Staff were pretty welcoming upon our entry into the restaurant and assisted promptly when we needed anything but otherwise left us to our meal, which we appreciated. They also sell various ingredients at the cashier - chilli oil, peanuts, salted fish, duck wings, duck feet etc. May need a translation tool though. A whole roast duck for takeaway is $50 and they very kindly entertained my request to have the bones separated. Would happily recommend and return.”

“The line of Taco Bell is a place I call home I live in ALBANY on the North Shore and it’s come to the point where every time I drive over the harbour Bridge I just know that it’s Taco Bell time. I’ve never tried anything else other than the double crispy chicken taco combo with a refreshing (not too sweet) (perfectly ratio’d syrup to soda) frozen vanilla Coke. I’m extremely grateful for the effort that the team puts into the food, the environment, consistency and the friendly faces that greet me as I walk through the front door. If you’re looking for a satisfying meal with heart and soul and passion, come on down to the Lunn Ave Taco Bell and find out for yourself what you are missing. I think I’m Taco Bell’s number one fan - my heart is yours. Love the work, keep it up. I’m cheering you on. Please add Baja blast. Forever and always xoxo”

“Great customer service, food is great, atmosphere is excellent. Highly recommended venue. Ivy (I had to get the name of who made the coffee) makes a brilliant cup of coffee. That coming from a coffee addict says a lot. Thank you to the management and staff for the great service.”

“Food is REALLY Good! Pork belly and lamb were amazing and onion rings are a great appetizer. Craft beers on tap GREAT selection of craft beers too. Will definitely come back...OFTEN”

“Saffron nails it every time! Delicious lamb, amazing chicken, and a big thanks to Shiva for the warm, friendly service.”

“Biryaniwala is simply outstanding! The food is authentic, flavorful, and consistently delicious — the biryani is a must‑try. The chef’s skill and passion shine through every dish, making each bite memorable. Special thanks to Amar at the front, whose warm hospitality and attentive service make the experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food and genuine service!”

“I generally try each restaurant 3 times before giving a review and i must say a well deserved 5 star. Amazing flavor everytime, especially spicy veg/chicken noodles (tried them both). All meals have generous portion size and cooked to perfection, servers always friendly, smiling and respectful. Made my dads birthday celebration memorable. Thank you”

“The food is always good and the service is fast, I love spicy and sower and I get a great combination at Eden noodles. Just love it, dine in or take-away. Recommend”

“Yumcha is a favorite way of eating and sharing Chinese cuisine. Imperial Palace is a great way to enjoy a Sunday brunch with friends and family with large tables and plenty of space. There are plentiful dishes to choose from and the staff even comes around with carts like you find in China. The food is delicious and make sure you order tea as it is a must.”
