The staff are generally polite, but I can understand why some of the other reviewers say they were rude. There's only one waiter taking and delivering orders, and seemed to be in a hurry a lot of the time. Overall, pretty decent. Prices could be lower, and the place could be a bit cleaner... There were tissues and rubbish in the flower pots surrounding the restaurant. Yuck.

The prices are super reasonable and the menu has options for everyone's tastes. The staff are super friendly and add to a very casual dining experience.

Thank god they were not obnoxious or loud because it would have ruin the dinner experience Food, however, was really good! We started off with the betel leaf with smoked salmon, it was refreshing because of the watermelon juice on it. A nice combination that I never tasted before. The stir fry squid was soooo good, it was fresh and tasty.....and the sauce is to die for, it went really well with white rice. The last dish we had was salt & pepper silky tofu, another excellent dish. The sauce that came with it was good. Overall, it was a good dining experience. I would not recommend this place if you are on your first date or if you want privacy for a quiet dinner with your dinner partner.

Longrain was my first upscale Thai food experience ever, and I loved it! I first read about this…read moremodern Thai restaurant in an in-flight magazine on my way to Sydney, and was legit salivating on the plane. Coincidentally, my Aussie friend had booked Longrain for our reunion dinner two days later - thanks, mate for reading my mind! Although it was a pricey dinner, our party of 5 enjoyed every course from drinks to dessert. Recommend ordering these standouts: - Ping Pong passionfruit lychee cocktail...tropical ingredients that instantly put me in a beach vacation mindset. - raw oysters with chili jam mignonette... refreshing starter to our meal - betel leaf confit salmon... exotic dish with varying textures. - fried chicken in turmeric coconut cream sauce... let's just say, I wanted to drink the sauce like soup because it was that good. - northern Thai lamb curry... not your typical traditional Thai meat, but the lamb was incredibly tender and the dark curry had vibrant flavor. - black sticky rice dessert with coconut jelly, vanilla tapioca and fruit... loved the consistency and mild sweetness. Every meal should end with this heavenly dessert. Sad that I can't find anything similar in my hometown back in the states. For now, I will just have to enjoy this meal in my dreams.

In summer, this is a really nice place to sit - part shade, part sun, and out of the wind. The owners are incredibly friendly, and you get the sense that it's a family business. The coffee is fairly average and there is nothing particularly amazing on the menu, but I did like the fact that a) the owners were so smiley and considerate (they were worried that we were cold), and the biscotti was fresh, rich and full of goodies (rather than being stale and dry, like most biscotti around the traps). I liked it a lot - despite the Bronte name, this place is totally without pretensions, and it is certainly not a hipster hangout. But it would be a great place to steal away to and read a newspaper in the sun (if it ever stops raining). There is also a saxophone in the cafe, sitting around, just waiting for someone to pick it up and play it. You know, Fernside has a guitar, other cafes have chalkboards or paper tablecloths, but Jane Eyre offers a big shiny Sax for anyone feeling creative.

I had the vegetarian bento kinda thinking maybe I should order more, but delicious dish after dish after dish came out and by the end I was STUFFED. The noodles in the udon were absolutely superb (so silky) and you can tell that everything is made super fresh. The eggplant dish (forgot the name) and the okonomiyaki are a must. Two full meals (with no holding back) only ended up costing us $57, which was so decent considering on how much we ordered. One of my new faves. Highly recommend.

We didn't have a booking and all the funky looking tables out the front were taken. No bother, I was so hungarious that it wasn't that important. Seating was irrelevant. I wanted all their foods. We were seated and given these wonderful little things that was a bit like a tangy salad served up in a tiny dish that you usually use to pour your soy sauce into. It tasted so good that I took my partners one too when he wasn't looking then promptly blamed a mouse. I ordered the gyukushi for my entree and wasn't disappointed. The beef was tender and the sauce was just perfect. Not too sweet and not too tangy. My partner ordered the yakitori - which was equally as delicious. I know this because the mouse struck again when I pointed out the interesting art work on the wall to my companion. Mains consisted of teriyaki chicken and the crispy chicken. Crispy chicken was mine and it really was crispy without being overpowering. I don't know how they do this... I might marry the chef. The teriyaki chicken was just as good. Mouse attacked AGAIN! They should do something about those pesky rodents. All in all, even though we were tucked away out the back the wait staff were just as attentive to us as if we were out the front of the house. A definite must do if you love all things Japanese.

The Beef massaman is the best I have ever had. Pad Prik, Rice noodle, argh, nearly every dish is superb but it doesn't stop there. Such curteous, generous staff. They refill your water, always see when your done or if you need more rice (which you could help yourself but they will smile/take over if you do, which I find top quality service). The venue is so tranquil, with its beautiful canary yellow over shade and blossom tree's, no wonder its the locals favourite in Pennant Hills, because the manager there listens to feedback, and follow through. I just wish this place could win awards, because it really is an amazing place. It's been here longer than other thai places, and despite competition they are still there unlike most restaraunts in that area who come and go. Its cheaper, its more quantity for quality and the type of place where they always exceed your expectations, even when you keep coming back. Go there for a first date, a birthday (they dim the lights and stars appear on the roof, sing, just wow). Can't stop raving, just go and you'll see how good this place really is, Was the only place I ate at when I lived in the Hills, but will always visit and make the drive up.

Starting with the food we have enjoyed most of the delicious food on the menu and If you peruse their menu online you will observe that their prices are quite reasonable. Our favorite dishes on their menu are the Salt and Pepper Squid and the Salt and Pepper Chicken; we use it as the benchmark dishes when comparing to other Chinese restaurants. As it relates to the service; whether we dine in or order take away we are always greeted with genuine friendliness and a few of the staff have even taken the trouble to greet me by my name. If you live in the Hills or are just visiting and you feel like Chinese food then I highly recommend Yee's Palace as being one of the best Chinese restaurants in the Hills, if not the best. For the delicious food, great value and friendly service.
