My partner and I had a great date night at elements in Woolloomooloo. Bianca and Julie provided great service and Bianca gave us great recommendations with her knowledge of the menu. The food was so tasty and the cocktails were delicious!
Great food with great service. Our server Bianca was full of passion when she was serving. Definitely would come back again
Beautiful date night spot. Delicious food, amazing vibes beside the water and attentive and friendly service. Absolutely enjoyed our dinner here and we will definitely be back for their steak and crab orzo.
Whenever we visit from Melbourne we love visiting On Fire to have nice chargrilled meat. Well we returned to this restaurant after 1 year and I believe it has changed owners. Let’s start with service, it was good with staff being super attentive, the gentleman at the bar was constantly on his phone which was not a good look so I hope it was related to reservations, if it wasnt maybe consider doing it out of site of guests. Now the food, we ordered the shared platter. Food arrived on time and it was hit and miss, chicken was pink and undercooked, meat was overcooked, sausage was good. Both meat and chicken lacked seasoning which was super disappointing. Overall we will not be retuning to this restaurant which is a shame. Please speak with the chef to think about seasoning and that should go along way.
Celebrated my birthday at On Fire with my family last night, and it was amazing. We had the meat platter and seafood platter, it was really tasty and great value. The service is impeccable. Big thanks for the team!👏
Outstanding poke bowl. I could eat this daily. The Tropical Salmon was a great combination of savory from the salmon and salad, with a touch of heat from the green Chilli and chunks of pineapple for sweetness. I added macadamia nuts for crunch. Delicious.
Updated 27/04: we ordered from here again last night! I got exactly the same thing and it was actually even better, with a greater chilli hit than the first time which I appreciated. Better still, thanks to various Uber Eats discounts, it cost around 50c less to have it delivered than to walk 5 mins and collect!

wasn’t even at the phoenix restaurant for more than 40 minutes due to rude customer service, food was not edible due to it being cold. the crispy calamari that we ordered was extremely rubbery and soggy. the pork was cold, not freshly made and sickly. DEFINITELY NOT worth the $61 that we had payed for 4 dishes that were all equally not edible. must have to say that some of the trollies that are supposed to come and serve will not bother to stop for us and ask what we had wanted. HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED. worst yum cha experience ever.
Impressed with the attentive staff at this restaurant! I have a vinegar allergy, and when I inquired about the octopus and greek salad, they promptly checked with the kitchen and offered alternative options. Their proactive approach to accommodating dietary needs made my dining experience safe and enjoyable. Thumbs up for excellent customer service!
I ate at this restaurant on the 3rd day of my trip to Australia and it was really delicious. The atmosphere was the best and the waiter, Ami, was so good that I enjoyed the meal very much. It became an unforgettable memory.
Really great food, it tasted very fresh and prices were good too.
Try one of their juices! Super yum 🤤

Exceptional food. The Rookie set menu was more than substantial, very full (in a good way). The sashimi was the standout for sure, also the duck and potatoes. Loved the wine options, and the staff were delightful. Only feedback would be towards the atmosphere. Slightly louder music, slightly dimmer lights (maybe more candles), and that door needs fixing (it slams shut every time someone enters). Didn’t really upset our experience, but worth noting. Thanks for having us 🥰
The host made us feel welcomed and important. Food was 5*. We highly recommend this place.
2 adults. Order 1 x poke bowl and 2 tacos. Poke bowl unfortunately very small for size, too much dressing. 1 x salmon taco delicious. 1 x chicken taco delicious too! 15% surcharge for PH.
1 x happy client, 1 x unhappy! Sorry

Great restaurant. The food and quality was brilliant. Very tasty yum cha. Yes definitely book to avoid the line. It's a little on the pricey side but you do get what you pay for. We went on a Sunday with the kids.
We had a baby shower party there. Food was delicious and well presented. Service was very great as well.
Special thanks chef mani who helped and made things easy for us.

Food is really good. But, the toilet stinks a lot. And why leave toilet cleaning liquid right next to hand wash. If they concentrate on the toilet and make it better. Would be a better dinning experience. Can’t digest we are sitting so close and eating a
We, as a group of 6, dined here on Friday night and had a fantastic experience. The ambiance was welcoming and the service was outstanding!
We ordered the sharing banquet, which was beautifully presented, tasted fresh and delicious. The variety was impressive, and each dish was flavoursome and well presented.
The service by Macy was outstanding, she was attentive and friendly. She ensured our drinks were always full and the table cleared between courses.
Along with all other staff, they added to the overall dining experience. Their hospitality didnt go unnoticed and they truly contributed to making the overall dining experience a delight.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Nagisa and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of Japanese cuisine. I will definitely be returning in the future. Thankyou 😊

Melt in your mouth experience. Everything exceptional flavoursome. We loved the black pepper beef, the fish, cripsy eggplant. Need to come back to try everything on the menu!
Good $99 tomahawk deal on Tuesday. The steak was well seasoned and tender and came with mash which was buttery. The salt and pepper calamari had a light and crispy batter with a delicious spicy Mayo however was served warm (not hot) within a minute of ordering. I imagine this was pre-made. Staff were friendly and attentive. Note this venue is by the water so is a bit smelly like rotten eggs (not the fault of the restaurant)
The fish and chips I bought here have a strange, unpleasant smell, similar to the disgusting scent of the kitchen rag my mother has been using for years.
As a poke salad place, the side dishes that comes with the poke bowl are limited and isn’t as tasty on an international standard.
You get only edamame, picked ginger, dry seaweed flakes and fried onions which doesn’t add much nutritions as nuts, pumpkins and sweet potatoes etc. I ordered the lightly fried eggplants as a set which taste kinda weird and is better off eaten grilled.
The wagyu was super average. Overall, it’s an average experience for AUD25+ with a cold pressed juice.

Lovely food. Recommend the fish curry, chicken tandoori and vegetarian fried rice.
It seemed like they were understaffed so they rushed when taking orders. They were also rude when directing us to our tables as well as they had to serve at the same time. The washroom was abit dirty, can be cleaner.

An exceptional dining experience at this hidden gem! Leah provided impeccable service, ensuring every detail of our meal was perfect. The Burrata pasta was a delightful explosion of flavors, and the steak my partner had was cooked to perfection. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. We can't wait to return and explore more of their menu offerings. Highly recommend!
I had a tomahawk steak and couple of drinks. The steak and drinks were fantastic! The waitress “Diana” is the one who is extremely kind and has good sense/taste. I have asked her recommendation and have ordered some drinks. those were all amazing. I will come here again for sure.
We dined here as a small group for dinner and the atmosphere was great. The service was very good and we had a great night. The menu had a mix of seafood and steaks so everyone was able to find something to eat. The serves were very generous and we kinda over ordered. I’d recommend this place for catching up with friends or family.
the tofu was bland and tough and the raw tuna was fishy definitely DO NOT get the tuna salmon bowl. tuna salmon bowl also did not have enough saurce which made it bland.
First time here and I had the Big Katuna poke bowl. It exceeded my expectations and, in my opinion, outshone the couple of items I had at Fishbowl Robina recently. There was ample fresh tuna, seaweed salad, roasted seaweed, pickled ginger, crispy onion, tasty black and brown rice. A full on meal, really flavoursome and healthy to boot.
Really enjoyed the tofu bowl I got. There was barely any pumpkin or mushroom in the broccoli salad which was a little disappointing but other than that it was great. Very tasty, fast service and pretty wholesome.
Just bought a burger with egg cheese and bacon and a piece of fish.
Fish too fatty to eat .
Burger had tomato in it with the core in it , top of tomato which you can't eat.
Went there regularly. NOT ANYMORE.

"Enjoyed a delightful experience at Angan in Clayton. The ambience was inviting, and the staff, though a bit stretched, were incredibly helpful. The slow service due to high demand resulted in a 4-star rating. However, the delicious taste, especially the must-try cheese naan, made the visit worthwhile. #AnganClayton #FoodieAdventure"

Every dish was amazing especially the apple pie gyoza, very creative. First time try dessert gyoza.
We wnt there today and just spend $208. Totally waste. Frst we order dahi kebab there is hair in kebab which i am attaching the pic as a proof. Than we order more food. They take such a long time cant explain. For kids we order rice and curd. Curd was totattly disgusting. When we taste it feels too old. After all bad experince. They didnt given any concession or feel sorry. The lady at the front i think manager but she didnt say sorry only watching. The staff was really good they feel reallly sorry for the food. I requested to the owner please change the cheff if you want to run the resturant.
Thanks

We used to come here regularly but not since they've had new management. They've changed a few things to optimise for efficiency.
The reservation is at the ground floor entrance, which is more effective for walk-ins. BUT, we only get a one hour slot, which totally reduced how much we would normally eat here.
Once seated, we chose our orders from a paper menu. Those iconic trolley ladies are a memory of the past. Service was perfunctory and felt "clinical". I would rather order from QR code and have a robot deliver the food when it's like that.
The dim sum menu is still plentiful but due tu the time limit, we couldn't relax. What we ate had good flavours as we'd come to expect. It was a bit of a let-down experience overall, and we're not likely to hurry back.

Traditional Chinese cuisine includes a variety of dishes including fried, boiled, steamed and stewed. The children especially liked the vegetable soup, which was very delicious. We will come back again!
We come here every time we are in Melbourne. Great food but they should better improve the system for queue…they can at least let us write down names… We were told to wait for register our name but ended up a lot of no reservation people show up and didn’t queue just because standing near the lady at reception. Not fair.
This place is massive. 4 times of the average food court. We had half an hour eating in yumcha, I was completely shocked to pay $165.5 for 2 adults and 1 seven year old child!! The service was too pushy, the ladies wheeling the trolleys constantly asking you do you want this ? Coogee? Dumplings? You don’t get a good think about or enjoy your food! Feeling harassed . There is no price menu for yumcha, the food price is completely hidden , as a customer you don’t know the price tag but only the owner knows , they use different symbols to price tag the food you ordered. They have a dining menu in their website but it’s completely irrelevant from what they offering. Is this type of dining legal in Australia?

Great yumcha experience in Chinatown. My favourite place to visit over the weekend, or sometimes during the week with my office colleagues 😃

Relatively new and clean venue. Lots of young faces and flexible staff. A wide selection of food and drinks is offered, and they come to check on you every now and then.

Selections of yumcha classics are available. My favourite is rice roll and the steamed cake 🥢 Beef tendons and stomachs were nicely sweetened, and the savory balance paired well with the herb and ginger aftertaste.

Very local and authoritative morning tea!! Best choice for you to know Chinese traditional flavour!
Besides, happy to know so many foreigners love our Chinese food!🥰
Would definitely recommend it to Melbourne friends! Hope someday Sydney meets!

Great service and hospitality.
I liked the fresh flat bread and dips as a starter.
For the main - red emperor was pretty amazing.

Charming and tasty local taverna. Tucked away from the main drag, this restaurant provides genuine service and well portioned meals. Lamb shoulder was outstanding.
Trendy atmosphere, great views, great food. High creativity and range of delicious flavours on offer. Highly recommend trying the apple pie gyoza.
worst bhindi masala i ve ever had in my life. looks like they gave me oil and added some boiled bhindi in it. you are not even cooks ,chef is a far word for you !!!
My go to place for guilt free affordable indulgence. Customised poke bowls. More add ons included when ordering at counter - better than online.
Thank you Nicole for recommending the most delicious bowl. I am a poke fanatic and I am so excited that I found a new local and do not have to walk fair to get my fix from poked. You are so good at your job and have the best personality. You have such a promising career ahead of you. You were right as well the sashimi salmon was absolutely divine and so worth waiting to eat till after my hair appointment today. Thank you lovely!
Yum Cha done well! We have eaten here many times and the food is always good. Love the scallop dumplings. Had the pippies today for the first time and they were delicious in black bean sauce. We will definitely go back!
We dined here for our anniversary and the staff members were all very lovely and accommodating. Didn’t get photos of all the food however their Beef Wagyu, bowl of Rice, the Pork Belly Kakuni, Pork Gyoza’s and the dessert -Banoffee Gyoza’s were all very delicious and fulfilling. It is just a bit expensive but for a special occasion it’s rather nice.
Sorry no pics, except for fruit, was too busy eating. We had fried rice, beans, eggplant and morning glory. The food was on point Chinese food. Kept it traditional and tasty. The restaurant was clean and nicely presented. The best part was the efficiency of the service. Very prompt and very attentive. I’m looking forward to the next visit as I would like to come back and try the Yum Cha.
We went here again today, and they were really snob and looking down on us. Looking at what we were wearing. I had on a nice polo and jeans because we were walking all day in the city. There is nothing wrong with what we are wearing. The waiter said it is 300 dollars minimum today in a very snobbish tone. We turned around and walked out. The food is not that good to be treated this way. Had better and paid less. Very rude people!
3 months ago, we had very good yum cha, and the service was nice. I'm not sure what happened, but we will not be back!

Best sourced lamb in the country, so we were told. And it was delicious, lamb cutlets were definitely some of the nicest I've had in a while, lamb & the chicken souvlaki also delicious, the Greek sausage had some nice spice to it & the goat was amazing so tender & the seasoning yum.
Good Greek salad, lemon potato was a hit with the family.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I felt most welcome by the staff.
It was suggested that we try the meat platter and it was such a good choice, it fed the whole family, it has to be the best value and best option to get a bit of everything. Although there were a lot more things on the menu I wanted to try, there was no way we could fit it all in.
Tzatziki was so nice and must have been freshly made, I hadn't tasted it that fresh before.
Really it was a great experience, traditional flavour, atmosphere & staff.

My recent visit to Finn Poke Bowl in Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast, was a delightful culinary journey. I opted for the salmon sashimi poke bowl, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment it was placed before me, I could tell this was something special.
The presentation was nothing short of artistry; the vibrant colors of the fresh ingredients were captivating. The bowl was generously filled with perfectly cut, melt-in-your-mouth salmon sashimi, showcasing the epitome of freshness. The flavors were an intricate dance on my palate, a harmonious blend of the oceanic essence of the salmon, the creaminess of the avocado, the crunch of the vegetables, and the subtle tanginess of the sauce. Each bite was a burst of flavors and textures that left me craving for more.
Moreover, what truly impressed me was the attention to detail in their sourcing of ingredients. The salmon was of exceptional quality, showcasing the establishment's commitment to providing top-tier, fresh, and sustainably sourced seafood.
The ambiance of Finn Poke Bowl was equally commendable. The clean, minimalist decor paired with the fresh aroma of the ocean in the air created a calming and inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, guiding me through the menu and helping me make an informed choice.
In summary, Finn Poke Bowl offers an exceptional dining experience for poke bowl enthusiasts and seafood lovers alike. The quality, freshness, and flavors of the salmon sashimi poke bowl were unparalleled, making this spot a must-visit when in Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast. I am already looking forward to my next visit to savor another delectable creation at Finn Poke Bowl.

Last minute decision to take the In-Laws to Japanese (for the first time!) for Sunday Lunch. Best place we could have visited by far! The food tasted amazing, was superbly presented, and the in-laws were suitably impressed. The service was quick from order to plate. The staff were attentive, friendly and happy to make suggestions. Fantastic drinks menu and the location by the harbour was perfect. Definitely one for the regular restaurants to visit list. The In-Laws are now definate converts to Japanese cuisine 😃
3.5 stars- reasonable meal good services, and a nice authentic Greek atmosphere. We ordered the saganaki, loukaniko for starters (to share), and the seafood platter for 2. The starters were tasty and nicely cooked. The seafood platter was generous and all elements were tasty (although I’ve had better mussels). Calamari I think is the frozen tubes type but very tender. A lot of chips and potatoes. My main criticism is the bugs - overcooked and 1 half was an empty shell.
The fish cocktails are huge and unbelievably good. Juicy, crispy, not those tiny bits some places give you
I only order those and chips. Best fish ever.

If you’re nostalgic for 70’s style underwhelming sweet food with lots of onions and capsicum …. This is the place…. Wait staff are mix of polite and bored… one spoiled soy sauce on a guest at the table and just walked away.

The food was very good here and it is quite reasonable for the price. It was very filling. I would 10/10 recommended this place for a lunch or early dinner. I will be coming back hopefully soon.
Oh boy! I wasn't expecting that I'll be hoping to go back again within a few days of visiting Aangan Clayton.
The food was superb. Every single dish was great. Service was fast. The presentation of food was good too.

"Elegant Chinese setting" We have ordered $75 pp banquet for our group of 14 and food variety and tastes were good especially the Mongolian beef and steamed (Barramundi) fish. The mud crab however was mostly shells with little messy meat to chew on. However the serving waiter was very rude and almost threw serving plates on to our table - he may had problem with his boss or wife ...??. So we have complained to the manager and got "better" waiter soon after. The ambience setting is quite elegant, clean and recommendable for large functions.
Very impressed by this place. In an unassuming old house on the main street, the interior is whitewashed with black chairs. Very cosy interior. As to the food, we had a set 5-course menu and every dish was excellent. Sashimi and crispy skin pork were the highlights. Some of the dishes are pretty spicy if that's an issue for you, although I'm sure they could modify that. Highly recommended and will eat here again. It's not cheap but the quality is worth the price in my view.
Pretty damn hard to fault. Cosy ambiance in a renovated old home. Service staff super friendly, in fact I'd seen them before at Debutant and they remembered me and my drinking preference (rum). Asian vibes were definitely prominent but in a way my western palate really enjoyed. The pork and fish salad was ridiculous. The caramel and fresh herbs. Omg.
The food was not bad, but quite expensive for what you get considering it's a fast food type of set up. The JFC chicken bowl was ok, but needed more sauce/flavour. The eggplant bites were tasteless without any sauce (which you need to pay an extra $1 for). Okay if you need a quick meal that's reasonably healthy, but for what you're paying you could get a better meal at a proper restaurant.
It was fine. Service was pretty slow even though we came at the tail end of the evening as the final seating. No-one asked us about drinks until quite well in. Menu wasn't marked particularly well for gluten free, menu items were out and the substitutions weren't ideal. The decor was pretty drab.
All things that would be totally redeemable or endearing at a place that wasn't trying to hit the white tablecloth demographic and at $60 mains. Those restaurants are held to a higher standard and Rookie was very mediocre.
The dessert though was a surprising dark horse. Yuzu curd with coconut Panna Cotta is amazing.

This is a great fast food place. Such fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation of the food and friendly service. The seating is mostly in a pretty loud position in the middle of the walk through shopping centre but if it's just two of you, it's possible to sit at one of the little tables next to the kitchen. Fun to watch them make the poke bowls. You can also choose your own combo, as I did, or go with their suggestions, which my daughter did.
We’ve been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and it’s a family favourite. Delicious Chinese food and they have perfected many western favourites. Not only that; but the service is excellent and so friendly - our server tonight Norman was fantastic and made our night even more special. We just keep coming back!
Make sure that you book well in advance and try to come either on a weekday, or early on the weekend so that it’s less busy. I’d recommend this restaurant for families wanting to try a classic Chinese restaurant for dinner. P.S. very kid friendly!

It was OK. The food was pretty nice, which keeps the rating as high as three. The service was slow and a little rude. We were waiting for a seat at the front and needed to flag someone down to even acknowledge that we were there. We also needed to flag them down so we could order. Other than that, it was a pretty good meal.
Very friendly staff who accomodate us even without a booking. We started off with a couple of mains but it didn’t hit the spot so we needed to order some additional dishes. The eggplant was lovely and would order again. The sashimi was okay but an overall nice time
Had high expectations reading all these good reviews but honestly the food was disappointing. We ordered the Banquet Menu 1 and I hate to say it but the food was not well flavoured, the dishes were not cohesive and it was definitely not worth the price we paid. Although it is fine dining restaurant, a $110 per person banquet menu should serve portion sizes for 2 people… not just 1. Please keep this in mind and spend your money elsewhere.
Lovely restaurant with great staff. Ordered the tasting banquet for 2 people.
The food was beautifully presented and tasty but unfortunately was a bit too salty. The salty dishes were - braised octopus, pickled items on the Wagyu striploin plate, heirloom carrots (most salty).
I also felt 2 hours was too long of a wait for the banquet. We got bored and impatient of waiting.
I saw diners beside us arrive later than us, ordered more food than us. Yet they left about an hour before we finished.
The service of food should be faster. I believe 1.5 hours would be better for us diners as well as faster patron turnover.

Perhaps the worst fish and chips joint ever. Service was incredibly horrible. You lot are incredibly generous given the rating is 3.7/5.
Had the grilled fish of the day and chips ($11.9) and chicken with cheese and cheese sauce roll ($10). Fish was overly salted - could possibly cure it given the amount of salt. Chips were a handful - could easily count this from the photos. Also salted to the max.
Chicken with cheese and cheese roll was horrible but better of the two. Dry as a whole. Chicken was also dry. No idea where the cheese sauce is.
Middle aged man was incredibly rude and had absolutely no interest in serving customers - we were just observing how others were served, no smiles, no thank you’s, aggressive tones.
Never returning.

The food is amazing- 5 star- healthy, tasty, refreshing and filling but not over filling. The miso was delicious as were the salads. The freshly pressed juice is very refreshing. Loved this cuisine. So nice to find something healthy and very tasty. Will

I usually go for a walk run along the river bank and stop here for a coffee/snack. Quintessential Aussie fish and chip with a dash of Mediterranean. They have got a great selection of salads, deep fried goodness and some great coffee. The owner particularly is so friendly and up for a chat everytime you visit.
Also must try are the sandwiches. So hard to control binging when everything in the glass case is staring you down ready to be devoured 🤣🤪😋.

Delicious and fresh wholesome ingredients,
The girl serving us was efficient and friendly.
The place was clean and had a nice atmosphere
Lack of meat in the bowls for $20
Only given about Half a handful of your chosen meat
And sitting for more than two people can be a problem!
Enjoyed my experience!

Our poke bowls were all inconsistently prepared (ft chunks of radish instead of fine slices & undercooked sweet potato!) & lacking flavour 😒 Not what we expected for around $17 each.
The spicy seaweed salad was yummy but this was just assembled from ingredients you can buy ready to eat at Asian supermarkets so not reflective of the kitchen's skill at all.
We had to ask for the complimentary miso that was meant to come with bowl+drink purchase & it didn't have tofu as shown in the photo on the menus.
We waited around 10 minutes for our food to be ready, which felt a little long for pre-prepped food not requiring any cooking.
The watermelon & strawberry juice was delicious.
We liked the compostable bowls the food came in.

Pretty good food and when you consider there isn’t many fish and chip shops around but the wait was pretty long
If you love your deep fried chips thick and crusty on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, covered in chicken salt and vinegar this is the place to go. Burgers are good as well. They have a small and tasty range of fresh seafood and the salads are awesome. Their Greek Salad is so good.X prices are reasonable and the trade is constant with passengers from Meadowbank Station stopping by to keep the big boys busy cooking. They’ve introduced a pizza selection but I haven’t yet gone there. Still, the use of all those yummy ingredients that promote thick arteries is worth a possible heart attack. Busy part of Meadowbank and if you’re driving you might have to go around a few times waiting for a rare parking spot. Chips, burgers, coffee, pizza, salads and seafood. You could live there and be happy for life.
东西便宜又新鲜，店员也很热情
Fish of the day BASA…Bahahaha 😂
Looked promising and after I checked the local reviews I headed on down.
Ordered the “Fish of the day pack” for $9.90 seemed promising!
But then it started! The guy who served me didn’t say what the fish was or asked how I’d like the fish to be cooked battered, crumbed or grilled. By the time I asked what the fish of the day was it was too late the guy had already chucked it into the fryer.
Here is the result of fried basa, maybe flake would have been better? But I guess you get what you pay for may give them another go…chips were pretty good but perhaps cooked in old oil in this old school joint.

Food was delicious with a yummy marinate. Service was excellent. Very good value for money. Went there two days in a row and definitely more times to go
Fantastic old school fish and chip shop. The look and the smell took me back. I had a hamburger that was simple but o so flavoursome, the chips were crispy outside fluffy inside. Potatoe scallops were to die for and some very tasty fish pieces as well. Service was fast and friendly.
Had the grilled platter and it was so delicious. All seafood components were fresh and well seasoned. Better than some fish & chip shops that are actually by the beach. Will definitely be back.
Dissapointed with the rice and chips. Chips half cooked and Arabic rice which using oyster sauce on it was quite surprising. Fish and calamari taste fresh anyways . $100 plate for this kind of taste. Sorry Will never go back.
I had a craving for octopus due to having some locally on the weekend, all the other seafood places around where I work only did basic “fish and chips”. I popped into ibbys on a rather hot Tuesday, doors closed to keep the place cold with the air con. I spoke to the sister who suggested I could have no chips with my octopus which was great. Made my over and sat down, a few minutes later this amazing dish comes out, very well marinated, just enough spice and chilli and the octopus was cooked so well and not rubbery or tough. The price was also good! $14 for all this is and a bottle of water. I highly recommend ibbys seafood and I will be back very soon!!!
This Chinese restaurant is located in Rhodes Waterside. The escalators to the restaurant are located near the Reading Cinemas.
The staff are friendly and the service is excellent, however it can get very busy at lunchtime on the weekends.
I went on Sunday, but I made a booking for 10:30am so I didn't have to wait too long in the line.
The restaurant have toilet facilities and there are separate function rooms for large groups.
The Yum Cha is very good here. It'll probably cost around $25 a head.
Best to book as the restaurant very popular, especially on the weekends.

This takeaway seafood has been here for a long time. Close to Meadowbank station and the tafe it’s a good place for lunch. Lots of options, battered, grilled or fried fish, chips and salads. The salads look really healthy and there’s a large selection of drinks. The fish is always fresh and cooked to perfection one of the best fish n chips around.
