First time. Last time. Absolutely appalled. First I thought absolutely ludicrous that the…read morekitchen at Chermside closed at 8:15pm. After eating the first ever meal, I realised why. I ordered the Slaw Burger with fries. Oh, I mean, COLD fries. The burger does not state that it is spicy on the menu. An abhorrent amount of sauce both in the slaw and on the burger itself which was also coated in a nauseating glaze. I literally had to scrape the over zealous amount of sauces off the bred. Those bread boards they are served on, just plane idiotic! Plus, they look none-too-clean. By the time I'd done my best with my revolting "dining experience", I ensured to leave a note on the paper which encloses the burger, stating way too much sauces with an unhappy face. One more thing, the preposterous volume of the music blaring so you couldn't speak to your partner.

The location in the Brisbane CBD is great but we found the food not good. My companion ordered a…read moregrilled chicken sandwich which wasn't a chicken breast but more like little pieces of chicken mushed together on the bun. Some pieces seemed pink and undercooked. It was weird. I had the spicy chicken which was actually quite good but definitely spicy. The main problem was the service. You order on the app, but we waited about 40 minutes to get our food. I went up to the counter to inquire and several service members made a point to walk past me and never make eye contact to help me. My companion finally came up from the porch to tell me our food had finally arrived - that's how long it too. Then when it was time to pay, similar experience - couldn't catch the eye of anyone.

Breakfast is offered all day with a great range of cooked brekkie through to muesli, and their sandwiches are exceptional. A regular sandwich costs around $13 but they are ample and they are filling. The chicken in particular was very tender and very satisfying! Oh, and did I mention the coffee? I ordered a flat white which, some places I find like to water down a bit. Not only was my flat white strong and smooth, but it also smelt amazing and was just what I needed after some exhausting shopping. I went with two friends and we found it to be charming and a very relaxed atmosphere. The walls feature posters for gigs and events around Brisbane and add a bit of an indie vibe to the place. They're fairly busy but the staff were friendly and helpful. They also have high chairs for little kiddies if you want to bring them along.

The bright interior decorations, food, location and service are all 5-star worthy here. I generally like to come here for a late breakfast/ brunch or after a shopping session at the Antique centre. Even when they are very busy, the service is generally quite speedy. I will usually order a milkshake here because I just love they way they make them here! I don't know what it is they put in them (maybe it is the ice cream) that makes them so Tasty but I can't get enough of them. There will usually be a "Breakfast Special" available which will set you back roughly $10, not bad value if you ask me. The breakfast meals are really well cooked and are pretty generous serves. Overall, I have been very pleased with my experience at Java lounge. It always offer good breakfast food, milkshakes, service and has a great vibe to it.

I was keen to see if Melin measured up though and I have to say, they delivered. Melin is a Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant. They have a huge selection on the menu. I usually see this as a bad sign but in this case, it all seems good. The menu is split into Vietnamese and Chinese with lots of seafood options, healthy salads, and vegetarian dishes plus all the usually favourites like honey chicken and sweet and sour pork. Meals are cooked fresh with 100% pure vegetable and olive oil.

You won't be…read moredisappointed with their range of light meals such as yummy roast veg and halloumi wrap, gluten free chicken and quinoa soup, cakes (Mars Bar is my goto), muffins and pastries (like flakey pastry sausage rolls, yum), salt and pepper calamari, pancakes, burgers and sandwiches, eggs Benedict, etc, and their divine coffee blend. Did I mention their coffee? Oh boy is it a nice blend at a competitive price. Senior discounts too! Staff are really bubbly, but sometimes 'under the hammer' as it is a really popular place and, therefore, very busy at times. During these times I go to the Northern end of the shopping centre to their other cafe as it's never really busy because of it's location. Enough rambling, just go there, as I claimed earlier, you won't be disappointed!

The Thai Kitchen is one of those restaurants that try to cram in as many people as possible. Lucky…read morefor me, I'm eating with a very skinny friend. Inside it's loud and surprisingly warm. With such a close proximity to those surrounding me, I couldn't imagine what it would be like eating in there in summer. We are seated quickly and orders taken. No less than five minutes have gone by and our entrees of chicken satays skewers are served. They're succulent to eat and the sauce is one of the best I have tasted in a while. I really can't concentrate on anything else. With the volume ever increasing whist more people are seated its difficult to have a conversation without potentially ruining my vocal chords. Yes that is an exaggeration but not to far from the truth. Just like how quickly our main meals arrive at our table. If there's one thing to praise Thai Kitchen for, it's definitely the urgency to get orders out. I don't think we've gone more than five minutes without food. I get into my (beef) Gang Massaman and my friend starts on his (duck) Gang Ped Yang. Mid way through the meal we sample the others dish and come to two conclusions. The first is that both dishes are pretty damn fly and the second is that the sauces for both dishes kind of taste the same. It's weird. When the last grain of rice and final drop of sauce has been consumed a waiter is there to swiftly take up our plates, offer deserts (which we decline) and pour us waters. We pay our bill and walk away feeling like we've just been efficiently fed processed and set free.

Yum! This is my favourite thai place. It's been around since the mid-90s and is still run by the…read moresame people and still delicious. I wouldn't recommend eating in at Thai Kitchen because the premises is very cramped and noisy, but for takeaway it's perfect. I always phone in and place my order and it's usually ready to be picked up in about twenty minutes. They're very accommodating about customising your meal and are happy to leave meat or seafood out of dishes for vegetarians. They alway ask if you want your meal mild, medium, or hot so if you're not a chilli fan you don't have to worry. I wish their kitchen stayed open later, though, because even though they're open until 9:30, last orders are at 8:15. I love their vegetarian red curry and vegetarian pad thai, and my meat-eating friends recommend the thai beef salad and duck curry. It's reasonably priced, friendly, and delicious and obviously has a loyal following since it's still going after so long. There's short-term parking on the street out the front so you can dash in and grab your order, and if you want to eat in there's parking out the back. Thai Kitchen is much better than your average suburban thai place, and whenever I feel like thai I don't even think twice about where to go.

We choose to visit Sun Chung Cafe upon the recommendation of the preview Yelp reviewer and almost…read moreregretted our decision when we got there. Sun Chung Cafe is just in a small complex of shops on Gympie Road and it looks run down! Like, really run down. There's hardly anywhere to sit inside, so you can tell they just focus on takeaways only. Dine in even incurs a 10% increase, so if the decor wasn't enough to discourage you, the price hike might. However, the meal prices were crazily cheap, so we stuck with it and WOW, am I glad we did! When we got home and opened those takeaway containers, the meals looked and smelt fantastic. We had ordered Lemon Chicken, Chicken special with ginger and shallot and Mongolian lamb. Lisa (previous reviewer) wasn't kidding about big succulent pieces of meat. The Lemon chicken was something spectacular and the chicken and lamb in the other two dishes were so tender and delicious. And so much food! The dishes were really generous sizes, and for less than $10 a dish! Sun Chung has definitely raced to the top of my Chinese Takeaway list - we ordered 3 dishes and large rice and paid just under $30! What a bargain!
