“I want to extend a HUGE thank you to Kamal and her incredible team for making my 60th birthday celebration truly unforgettable! With 24 adults and 10 children under 12, they made sure everyone felt special and had a fantastic time. After exploring a few restaurants at the Mount, we chose Hide because of its perfect location, diverse menu, and accessibility for my wheelchair. Kamal was fantastic in our conversations leading up to the event; she was always professional and accommodating, and she answered all my questions with enthusiasm. On the night of the celebration, our maitre d’ was wonderful, keeping us updated on the bar tab and the delicious flow of food. Speaking of food, it was absolutely outstanding from the entrees to the main courses! Although we didn’t order dessert (thanks to the birthday cakes we brought), the staff kindly cut and served them for everyone. Plus, the child-friendly atmosphere was such a big bonus! My family and guests had a fabulous evening, and I wholeheartedly recommend Hide, Kamal, and her fantastic team for your next celebration! You won’t be disappointed!”

“Aura Coffee is one of the best in Mosgiel. As a foreigner, I appreciate the respect and kindness they show. The coffee is excellent, and the staff are friendly and welcoming, making it a great place to visit.”

“All good. No gluten-free soya sauce. If only these businesses understood that they could have it available and charge extra for it. I would’ve gladly paid.”

“beautyful dumplins and noodles , best asian food ever , clean envoirment ,loved it !!! Highly recommended .”

“Clean restaurant with friendly staff. I ordered the teriyaki beef udon and it is one of the best udon's I have ever tried”

“My spouse loves this place. They got out of the hospital and the first thing they wanted was to order the udon through UberEats. It's their favourite udon in this city. I also enjoy the salmon teriyaki and chicken katsu donburi and we always get several miso soup as they're quite good.”

“The freshest and best sushi to go, in the area.”

“Great sushi, lovely service, complimentary cookie, thank you!”

“I had an unforgettable experience at this sushi restaurant! The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious—each bite was a burst of flavor and beautifully presented. What truly set this place apart, though, was the staff. Every member of the team was exceptionally kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of throughout our meal. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of outstanding food and warm, friendly service.”

“This is (in my books) probably one of the best sushi places in the CBD area. A simple menu, that still offers quite a bit to choose from and food that is fresh and tasty. Great place for lunch.”

“The salmon avocado sushi roll and smoked salmon nigiri fried tofu rice was my favourite. The salmon is really fresh and the service is extremely friendly”

“Everytime I've been here, service is 5 star anyway but this branch and staff is exceptional. I came in with a big order and brought my own container with for them to pack it in and they were more than happy to cater to this. Admittedly feel like St Pierre's is long overdue for an upgrade in terms of their plastic packaging, but there is a work around and they cater. 10/5 stars for service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
