We were greeted by a friendly lady and sat down inside a nicely decorated room full of red! Around…read more6pm on a Sunday, it wasn't very busy so we got a table for four right away (about 30 mins later, the restaurant filled up). We were planning on having the mini hot pot but were told that's only available after 8:30pm OK then, moved on... We decided to then get three mains to share and individual rice bowls. Firstly, the rice bowls were pretty tiny for $2. I can accept the size if it didn't cost that much because I know for a fact, there are tons of restaurants in the south side that serve bigger bowls of rice. Moving on to the mains... So we ordered; - three cups chicken (chilli level - medium; too many bones; loved the addition of creamy whole garlic cloves; oily but yum overall); - chitterlings and eggplant (yum; oily; eggplant was well cooked; insufficient chitterlings compared to onions and eggplant and other things in there); and - sweet and sour pork (hero of the night!!). We also had some iced tea, I think they were homemade. They were quite cloudy and frothy. I had lemon kumquat but it didn't actually taste like lemon kumquat. Just very slight. Overall, a pleasant experience. The price isn't too bad. Service was good.

This evening we felt like Peking duck so we decided to check out this new restaurant in the…read morePinelands shopping centre - previously called Beijing Roast Duck. Their version is the same as the previous restaurant's version - crispy skin with the succulent meat beautifully presented on a duck shaped plate. The menu doesn't seem to have changed much - it features some Sichuan dishes and Northern Chinese dishes which we look forward to trying. If you want to eat the duck, make sure you ring ahead and book your duck as they are very popular. The restaurant was full tonight (Sunday night) and every single table had a duck on it.

Unique menu items. I've never had a ramen burger. It's great for pictures to snap and instagram but…read moretaste wise it's very much what you would expect. The ramen buns are rather flavorless but the meat inside is decent. Stand out items are actually the duck fat fries. Most flavorful plain fries I've had in a while. Definitely worth paying a bit extra for. Desserts are good options too. The sizzling stuff are fun to look at and eat. I would recommend the brownie. Can't go wrong with chocolate. Ambience is pretty nice sitting outside but still covered. Less crowded than many places in sunnybank. Price expect to pay about 20$ entrees and 15$ desserts.

It was pretty mediocre. The ramen burger was too dry there was no sauce of any kind and a few…read morepieces of vegetables. The fries was okay tho. The matcha dessert was really sweet. If you're a fan of soft cakey brownie you might like it

Why does this place close 8/9pm on a Saturday?! It's honestly so sad…read more.. My friend and I tried 3 or 4 food stalls that ended up already being closed but there was no signs at all to notify people... We finally found a place that was still open named Rice Town. It's on the corner opposite the bar. I believe it's Chinese food. Because they were about to close, they packed it in take away containers. I'm sad because..it was super salty. Like salt laden. It was not crazy bad (MSG?) but to the point you wish you had water to wash the saltiness all down :( I prefer Panda Express 10 times over. It's not a bad place to be I guess when all of the stalls are still open. But the staff should honestly have 'closed' signs available. Staff knew we were in front, but didn't even inform that they were closed till 5-10min later -_- we had to ask them too + this happened at 4 different stalls.

Oh My God! Asian…read morefood stalls in the middle of a shopping centre! Whoever you are, out there, coming up with this amazing amazing amazing idea! You got my respect! I like the noises of humans and the smell of wok sizzling. I did enjoy abit. It feels like surrogated Asia. I have pork belly in white bun and some coleslaw. I thought it was Chinese cuisine but turned out it is Japanese. The buns and coleslaw were good. But I'm missing out the high notes of that charcoal grilled pork belly. Okay, I'm sorry that I forgot the name of this stall. But don't worry, the best part of 8 Street-all stalls display the cooked dishes in front of their stalls. And for some reasons, you still cannot find it. Feel free to drop a Yelp message :)) There are so much to explore. So choose a meal critically. But oh well, you can always come back for more meals!

While waiting for my friends at Garden City, I got hungry. I only realised this place was called…read moreAddiction after I finished... but I had the yum cha there. You can order straight off the menu and they cook it fresh for you, so you don't have to worry about if the food on the cart coming around is cold or not like normal yum cha places. I noticed that they had western looking furniture but it was actually an asian fusion place, with cheap deals on Wednesdays which is always good when you see a movie or go shopping. Me likey the food much. So I had the siu mai's, the calamari, the beef balls, the taro puffs, my favourites and they were all quite delicious if I must say so myself... because I was eating by myself. I would definetely go back to try the other stuff as well, but the yum cha food wasn't too bad at all. Prices were $2-$3 higher than the usual plate, but big deal, rent is more here too. A little bit trendy it is.

My friends and I are divided on this place; some of them hate it while others love it. I personally…read morelove it, having always had good experiences here. I usually go for the 'noodle bar', which allows you to choose which type of noodles you want, which topping (chicken, vegetables, beef, etc) and which sauce. I have also been there in a family situation where we choose several main dishes to share and it has always been very tasty. The last time I went there, we were pleased to discover that they have half-price main meals on Wednesdays, which it happened to be. This included the noodle bar so it ended up costing us only $18 for both of our meals. It was absolutely delicious as well. I will return to this place again and again.

This stylish Japanese BBQ seems incongruous to its suburban surroundings. The decor, menu and…read moreservice all seem to belong to an uppity city restaurant. Not that I'm complaining because where it's situated is convenient for me to get to plus there's easy parking. Shinbashi has a $35 all-you-can-eat Japanese BBQ which is always a popular option. I fyou go this route, make sure to try their fantastic wagyu and marble beef. However, my husband and I always splurge on their $99 Signature Selection for two. It includes these tasty additional extras like Bacon asparagus and Bacon rice cakes. There's also this buttery cheese, sweet potato dish which takes about twenty minutes to cook up on the BBQ but is worth the wait. The service here is great. They always remember to refill my green tea and there's this delicious complimentary soup which comes in a teapot that you can easily fill up on and ruin your dinner if you're not careful. If you live further afield, Shinbashi Yakiniku is definitely worth the drive out to Underwood.

Being a Japanese BBQ place you basically cook the meat on the hot plate in front of you and dip in delicious sauces before noming down. Staff are genuinely helpful. There's Japanese rice beer to match, though I didn't see how that was going to be consumed amongst the plethora of meats in front of me. Also good to know - the meat is delicious, because it is marbled with delicious fat. I went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. Defs popular amongst the locals.. Or those who know its there. So man up, make the drive, and give this place a go :)
