A Taste of Tuscany, on Pennant Hills road in Carlingford. It saves some travel time to Italy!…read more If you're a local it's a handy little restaurant that does some good Italian cuisine. There's ample room to grab a seat inside although there is also a take-away and home delivery option. When in Rome, or in this case Tuscany or to be more specific Carlingford, we always seem to do what the Italians do and over order. A pizza (or two) to share between everyone, an entree each, a main of pasta each, a dessert each(the tirimasu seems to be the most popular option) and a coffee to help digest it down. And of course a glass of red that lingers throughout the night. No you won't think you're in Tuscany but it might give you a taste. Maybe?

Some of the best seafood I've ever had …read more Not all the seafood here is battered, though I suspect you could ask. The calamari I had was not but don't let this fool you-it is excellent regardless. The standard Dory is also great. A lot of seafood places have soggy chips, not so here. Other places also encrust the chips with so much salt that you may die. (They do this that if you do die, they can raid your wallet before the cops come-this is my theory.) The chips are quite solid and crisp. A solid feed. Avoid death, eat here!

A simple classic Cantonese restaurant in an older unpretentious mall. Arriving early (10:30 AM) on…read morea Saturday to guarantee getting a table, we ordered 10 different items. Service was friendly, partly cuz we were dining with "regulars." Regardless, the staff appeared to be nice to all. None of the items disappointed and every dish was under $8 Aus.

Dinner at yet another Japanese restaurant run by Koreans in the Eastwood/Epping area…read more FOOD My tummy had split feeling about the food here. - The Scallop Aburi sushi ($12.50) was perfectly blow torched which left the centre soft enough to melt in your mouth. The mustard sauce was the perfect sauce accompaniment to the scallops as well. - The broth in the Spicy Miso Ramen ($13.80) was awesomely spicy and left me wanting to keep drinking the soup. The roasted pork with the ramen was a bit tough though which was disappointing. - We ordered a half California Roll for $5 as a special with the ramen but now I wished I hadn't done this. The proportion of rice compared to filling just wasn't right. Too much rice means not enough taste. - Sashimi was ordinary. I'm not sure if it just wasn't as fresh or wasn't cut as well as other places but I've definitely had better. SERVICE Farily busy for a Sunday night. 3 waiters/waitresses running around was clearly not enough that they were rushing and stressing and making silly little mistakes. I'm forgiving though. OVERALL Not bad Japanese food. Behind the bamboo sliding doors are private rooms so it would be a good place for a birthday or larger gathering to eat, drink and be rowdy in true Japanese drinking style!

Honestly, its not a great place to eat especially if youre young or not Korean…read more I've been here on several occasions, both where I called to make the reservation (not Korean) and when a friend of mine (Korean) made the reservation. When I made the reservation: - Told there is a minimum of $35 per person for private room bookings - Oysters in the set menu were FRIED (probably not even delivered on that day) - Grilled fish was grilled to the point where it was inedible When friend made the reservation: - No minimum per person cost - Oysters in set menu were FRESH - Fish was grilled alright. Overall my experience here wasn't great. I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone, especially if they are not Korean speakers, as there seems to be some discrimination going on.

When the food comes on chipped plates, you know it's either gonna be fantastic or terrible…read more Thankfully the former in the case of this unsuspecting, surprisingly large restaurant. It's always full but not quite to the point where you have to wait. Always busy to the point where the servers feel obliged to hurriedly chuck the food on your table on their way to another, but also with a smile. Hahh. Sensitive souls need not be offended, they mean no harm. You'd be immune to this if you've been to deliciously rude Asian places anyway... ;) The food itself is delicious, hearty and good value. I strongly recommend the rice with 'assorted meats and seafood' - looks like leftover slop from yesterday but it's one of the most comforting foods you'll put in your mouth. The fried bean curd is crispy skin tofu with the topping specified on the menu. Light and crispy exterior contrasts the soft tofu insides. Yum! The szechuan chicken is flavoursome but lacks the spice one expects from szechuan foods! Most likely fixed with some chilli oil though. All in all, the variety and flavour of the dishes secured this place as my go-to for Chinese in Eastwood.

We love this place. Totally love…read more Well worth the drive if you are feeling like a bit of a meat fest. We always go as a group of about 9 people and have the buffet menu. Which is basically all you can order and eat from the entire menu for $48.80 Monday to Thursday and $52.80 Friday to Sunday; which is the deluxe option. There is also the standard option that doesn't get you everything from the menu but most things, Monday to Thursday that will cost you $38.80 and from Friday to Sunday it costs you $43.80. The all you can eat buffet goes for 2 hours, so you can order and eat continuously for 2 hours before they pull the plug. They always let you know when you have last orders as well to ensure no mix up. You get plates and plates of everything you ordered and get to cook it yourself on the hot stoves on the table. Please be aware that if you are anything like our guys, they tend to smoke the place out and last time this caused the fire alarms to go off and the firemen to turn up. Not that I was complaining about the perving on the firey's but you get the drift! There is also a set menu you can order from if you prefer not to do the all you can eat option. The staff are lovely and attentive and even after we accidentally set off the fire alarm they always welcome us back with quiet giggles. It can get rather loud at certain points in the evening, however it's well worth it for the food.

Love the Bibimbap and the sauce. We were stuffed. Perhaps entree and 4 dishes of bbq were just a tad a bit too much for a family of three. We just don't like the 1,5% surcharge on credit card. Just prepare to bring your debit card or cash if you don't like the extra charge..

Well, compared to it's namesake in Victoria, this one is much better. It has a pretty decent atmosphere, a lovely beer garden, and some pretty decent beers on tap, something that its namesake in Victoria is completely lacking.

I visited here recently for lunch, for the very first time, with friends…read more Although the inside was modern and airy, I somehow felt very uncomfortable and unwelcome. The lunch menu was filled with many inviting choices, and there was a list of lunch specials available. Once we had ordered our meals, they seemed to take a very long time to be delivered to us, and weren't anything particularly special in relation to taste, nor price. I am not sure that I would dine or visit here again anytime soon.

The fried beef and beans is crunchy and fresh and just tantalising. Even the tofu dish is surrounded with seafood and looks like it came out of some gourmet magazine. A hot or of green tea is served throughout the meal, the rice container is continually refilled and the waitress is extremely helpful. A line of people are waiting for a table. The line gradually is getting longer and people don't mind waiting knowing that the food is worth the wait. This is definitely a place to book. Book early too so you are not encouraged to leave right after the meal. Great food, good atmosphere a place to dine!
