My new found favourite japanese restaurant in Surry Hills!…read more We came here around 6.15pm on a Saturday, they were going to turn us down as they were fully booked but agreed to give us a table if we leave by 8pm. I tried the dinner set menu $33. Every item I had was really good, especially the sushi roll, it was bigger than expected. The tonkatsu was not oily and i love how it came with rice (unlike sushi suma). Though i was extremely full when i was done, they brought dessert! A small panna cotta but really good as well. I really like how the table was spaced out more than Sushi Suma, so it's not like you are invading other people privacy. Will definitely be back :) *Note: Always make a reservation to avoid disappointment!*

Hard to fault my new fav.Japanese restaurant. Great meal here last Saturday night with the birthday…read moregirl. Perhaps a little too intimate with other diners but that possibly added to the Japanese vibe. Clean and well presented fare and very generous servings all keenly priced. Sashimi plate was a wonderful starter as was the salmon carpaccio. Tofu and eggplant - must-haves and the teriyaki chicken was spot on and very generous in size. Alas we over ordered and added tempura vegetables which were stella but we had little room left. Wine list was extensive enough and draught beer was available. Attentive staff and full awareness of a radical (crustacea) allergy I had. Want to go back and explore more of the menu. I thought everything we had was really well executed.

This was a nice hotel close to the airport and transportation stops.

However, there was never any follow-up back to us. They couldn't find my reservation as I had arranged to pay for a room the evening before I arrived early the next morning. I wanted to get off my international flight and go straight to my hotel room. Even though I made these arrangements in advance, when I didn't show up for the evening of my reservation, they marked me as a no show and gave away my room. Luckily, they had another room available. Also, if you wanted to meet traveling companions at the bar, the amount of space was incredibly small as to make it uncomfortable. So the options were to leave the hotel or sit outside at some larger table, right next to where the cars drive up. So overall, it was an uncomfortable stay.

From the restaurant service, the front desk incompetence and housekeeping not answering the phone. The "manager" only added to the problems with her assumptions and accusations instead of resolving anything. It's clean. It's close to the airport... BUT Don't plan on enjoying yourself at the hotel. Expect unexplainable room charges, terrible service and incompetent management.

Sweet! Modern,…read morecontemporary sort of café in the main shopping district of kingsford. This place is pretty cool. And I just learned something. Beetroot doesn't mix with fetta and sundried tomato. They make up your sandwhich according to how you like it here, you see. I really wanted both, but sweet and savoury, you know... Anyway. The café is great. They have faccacias and sandwhichs and rolls, all of which can be tailored to your desires. A good coffee menu too. I suppose all of these things are standard in a café, and I guess it is a standard cafe. But it's a nice standard café. It has a really fresh feel to it, which is important. It opens up nicely with good air flow. The menu pricing can be confusing, only because if you're going to make up you sandwhich from scratch I don't know what they're going to charge. But in the end it was all reasonably priced. And even this beetroot-fetta thing is growing on me.

If you're grabbing a take away coffee or bacon and egg roll (they have a pretty good one), then…read morethis is a decent place. However, if you want to have a nice breakfast/brunch, I'd suggest going somewhere else. I have lived in Kingsford for years and have gone to Meeks a few times, always hoping the service will be better, but it never is. They can't get an order right most times, and the food is very average for what you pay (the eggs benny are probably some of the worst I've ever had in Sydney).

Got to love a place that when you order a dish, the people look at what you're eating and say "ooh,…read morei want that" and then change their order... it doesn't happen often but it happened to me today at Petrol...... (btw the dish was called Field of Dreams - a yummy mushroom experience - Field Mushrooms, Pinenuts AND Fried Eggs on Sourdough Toast with Capsicum and Onion Jam 15.5). It's a great breakky place, with great ambience, coffee and food. We also shared the Turkish Breakfast Plate which includes Vine Tomatoes, Cucumber, Danish Fetta, Poached Eggs, Kalamata Olives with Honey Toasted Turkish ($15.50) - super yummy and fresh. I'm definitely coming back here to sample some other things on the menu - anyone got feedback about The Mad Hatter? (Smoked Salmon and Poached Eggs, Avocado, Lemon with a Balsamic, Beetroot and Onion Relishon Toasted Seeded Rye 18.5) An excellent start to the morning.... PS: They're open for brunch, lunch and dinner

It may be that we were there when it wasn't busy but everything was great. We wondered through the store side too which was pretty cute and appeared to have some nice produce and oils. The pizza was served with a chili oil that was tasty with the pizza crust. We had the margarita pizza and a special with pumpkin and sausage - both delicious. It was a nice ambiance too and we sat outside and people watched.

This is a fabulous hotel!…read more The rooms include: - Separate bedroom - Separate Bathroom - Living Room - Kitchen - Refridgerator - Work desk - Washer & Dryer There's a store called "Public Espresso" interconnected with the building on the ground floor. This is where you can get your coffee/tea/breakfast (not included). The hotel is modern and clean. They have their own garage parking if you needed it. This hotel is close to the airport. The ONLY thing missing is a rewards/loyalty program =) Giving this a 5-star review because I would most definitely come back.
