I'm here like 2-3 times a week it's quite sad. The staff are all so lovely and welcoming. They now do take home tubs 600 ml for $11! For one scoop it's $4 and they give too much!

Came here with a friend, who me and him both had big cravings fo gelato/Sorbet :). I ended up getting the choc chip, peach and passion fruit :), all delicous flavours but my Numero uno of the 3 was the choc chip and that was the bottom scoop (oh yeah :D). My friend got the peach, watermelon & banana, the banana & watermelon were the stand out flavours. Normally for the both flavours when you order it elsewhere it has the fruity taste and thats it.. but the banana flavour was exactly the taste and texture of mooshed banana haha & the watermelon had the exact taste and feel of a crushed watermelon smoothie after each scoop :). Without a doubt the best tasting choc chip & Banana/watermelon Gelato I've had to date :)!! Will definately be back and recommending this place :D!!

I was looking up good, cheap places to eat in Sydney and Chonsiam was on several lists. It's a…read moresmall Thai eatery that reminded me of my travels back in Thailand. I dropped in on a Wednesday afternoon (1:00pm) for a late lunch. The inside is a bit small and cramped with room for about two dozen people. The small chairs and tables go with the street vibe perfectly. There's a lunch menu (11:00am to 4:00pm) that's broken into noodle soup, stir fried noodle, fried rice, curry with rice and stir fried with rice. There's also a few special dishes that are only up on the walls/outside wall so check those before you order. Staff is friendly and fast with food. - Thai iced tea ($3.00 AUD) - really refreshing, not too sweet and tasty. Get it. - Pork boat noodle ($4.00 AUD) - this one is "off menu" but I saw several people eating it. It's a small bowl but perfect for a light meal or if you're planning to snack at other places like I was. Broth was flavourful with good noodles, pork, fish balls and vegetables (gai lan?). Probably the cheapest meal you can get in Sydney! Cash only. 4.5 stars.

$4 boat noodlea - enough said !…read more I've been looking for some authentic pork boat noodles since returning from my trip to Thailand and I might have found it. To top it off its probably the cheapest bowl in Sydney. Portion is smaller than standard Sydney size but still much larger than Thailand. Place is small and unassuming but it seems to do a pretty hectic trade.

I went here for the first time tonight and I love it! I recently came back from backpacking SE Asia…read moreand ever since I've been home I've had a craving for Vietnamese food. This restaurant filled all those cravings. Of the dishes I had (rice paper rolls and Vietnamese pancake) I could not fault any of them. They tasted just like those that I was eating in Vietnam a couple of months ago. Although the restaurant also does Chinese, Mongolian and Thai food, as its name suggests, its specialty is Vietnamese cuisine. The interior of the restaurant isn't the most modern, but for me that's not a problem at all. The place is clean, the staff (who are actually the family who own the restaurant) are lovely, and the food is so reasonably priced! My huge Vietnamese pancake was only $11 - on Glebe Point Road you'd pay between $18-20 for the same thing. And it was delicious! I'll definitely be coming back for more and to sample the rest of their menu!

We love this place. It's our local and we frequent it often. The meals are good value and tasty…read more The menu crosses authentic Vietnamese dishes like pho & cold rolls with a healthy dose of "Chinese" dishes for the less adventurous.

There's something supremely comforting about being able to count on your your local Thai…read morerestaurant. Knowing the dishes will be quick, fresh and tasty. Sure, it won't be Longrain (unless you're lucky enough to have that as your local!), but the flavours will be familiar and after a long day, it'll be just what the doctor ordered. Montein hits all the (anglicised) Thai notes: there are curry puffs ($7.50 though not my preferred vegetarian variety), Chicken and Cashews ($14.90), Massamun Beef ($14.90) and Basil Chili flat noodles ($13.90). The salt & pepper squid ($21.90) was moorishly good, but went a bit soft in the take away container. They offer free home delivery in the area, but if you pick up they'll knock off 10%. Or if you fancy eating in, they allow BYO wine, which is a nice touch.

As far as food options in Edgecliff are concerned, this is a good'n!…read more Service is fast, even though the staff are not terribly engaging. The food is good quality, too. Here's a run down of a couple dishes I've had: Miso Soup - Pretty standard sushi take-away miso soup. Steamed Gyoza - Nice, if a little cold on arrival. The dipping sauce is a little spicy, and overpowered the gyoza. I just used some soy sauce instead. Teriyaki Mushrooms - Probably one of my favourite things, but I think that's because it came with a generous dollop of sour cream. I love sour cream... Anyway, the teriyaki sauce on the mushrooms was lovely, enough mushrooms to share. My only disappointment was I was maybe expecting more exotic mushrooms instead of standard button mushrooms. Tempura Don - Nice tempura veggies and prawns, the batter was light and crispy, though a couple of the vegetables were a touch under-cooked. A generous serving of rice, too. Far too much ginger, blech. Chicken and Egg Don - Chicken and Egg on rice. Simple, but very good. Recommended if you don't know what to have but would like something warm. The only thing that bugged me about the place were the fruit flies. There were lots of them buzzing around the tables and made me want to sit outside in the cold.

I've been here for dinner, and although this little hidden gem of Sushi-land is unfortunately not…read morewell known, it has a great quiet and authentic spirit. There is a range of great entrées including tasty steamed Gyoz dumplings, and some regular favourites like Edamame beans, and soft shel crab salad. For mains, treat yourself to some incredibly fresh Sashimi and Sushi, or tasty but somehow a bit tough Wagyu teriyaki beef. The staff are very friendly, and helpful, although it is a small restaurant, there is always someone there to help, and the food comes out very fast. Try the Sake and Sapporo beer if you feel need some liquid encouragement to try the more hard to pronounce menu items.

The food tasted fine, but after awhile I realised it wasn't just a coincidence that I didn't feel after eating here.

Affordable, quick and tasty…read more Duck Shots are a favourite given the often stale nature of thai menus. All the classics (stir fries, curries and mixes) are acceptable - have always enjoyed but never been amazed. BYO offers a great incentive to have a big dinner here, and they are always accommodating. They have more than once gone out of their way to make sure guests and I are as comfortable as possible - one time ushering out a drunken party that was too loud for the restaurant. The back courtyard has a better atmosphere than the street or inside the restaurant, just don't sit too close to the toilet. If you're in a rush and don't want to think about what you'd like to eat, this would be a winner.

But today I was in a rush and was passing Boulangerie Patisserie, I saw sausage rolls and had an uncontrollable temptation (yes I was THAT hungry). I am relieved to say though that the sausage roll was really very good. It seemed to have been made with some sense of standards, it seemed to have actual discernable meat inside it was tasty and it didn't appear that it might have been sitting there a few days, but instead seemed fresh!
