While every Manmaruya is unique.

But this particular Manmaruya is especially unique than the rest, even they have a different menu here. This is because they offer Yakiniku or Japanese BBQ. We had Beef Tongue and Pork Cheek which came seasoned ready to be barbecued. The meat was of good quality and tender. We also had Karaage Chicken, which always taste consistently good, and some mini Sushi rolls to keep the kids happy. The only disappointment I had was when I made reservation once, but when we got there on time we were made to wait for an hour for our table. There were some people there that walked in without reservation and got their table first. This happened only once, therefore I can consider this a one-off and hopefully won't happen again. But in saying that, I don't make reservation anymore in this place since the incident, I just walk in and wait like everyone else!

Decided to take a field trip to Kingsgrove with a friend since I'm a burger lover and I saw a photo…read moreof their burger somewhere and it looked good. The head chef here received an internship at Noma, so you know they must be doing something right. The food is a mix of Australian and Greek, you'll see influences in each dish. They have plenty of space here, so it's a good place for group outings, catching up with friends or even a semi-casual date. The coffee is on the expensive side at $4.50 a cup, but my flat white was velvety smooth to be fair, so I didn't mind the higher price. My friend and I ordered the grass fed double cheeseburger on brioche, the hand cut chips with feta, and the Kritharaki (orzo in napolitana sauce with tiger prawn) to share. The hand cut chips were awesome....definitely a must get plus a massive portion too. The Kritharaki was also very tasty, highly recommend this too. As for the burger, it was alright. It was a little bit burnt and salty so it definitely looks better than it tastes, 3.5/5 for the burger. If this place was located close to the CBD I would probably come pretty often since I live by the CBD, but since it's out in Kingsgrove I probably won't make the trek unless it was a special occasion. Great place for people close to Kingsgrove, not so much for others.

Walking into Kingsgrove pottery, it is the restaurant buzzing with life. Full of warmth and an inviting open plan layout, you are welcomed by friendly attentive staff.

We had the beef burger, falafel salad (best falafel!) and the beef sandwich. Delicious and flavours were well balanced. You leave this place so full! Definitely coming back ... and Super loving the locality!

Sitting at this place really leaves me feeling nostalgic. If you happen to come by and see the…read morerandom girl sitting in the corner laughing (not too quietly) to herself, hands down it'll probably be me. I'd be reminiscing about running late - and eventually skipping - our early lesson maths classes and sitting here instead. Besides the absence of many of my graduating school mates, I don't think much else has changed. It's the same place, different girls. I remember, as soon as the last bell for school went, girls from my high school (myself included) would trample all pedestrians in order to crowd this place and savour the longest time until school began again. That was where we sat to rant about nonsensical teenage girl things, that was where we used to peek at the new wait staff (one of them had a thing for my friend Ivy), and where we would sip on a sickly sweet hazelnut mocha to keep our caffeine levels up. My best advice is to avoid the afternoon school rush as it peaks around the 3.15pm mark. I reckon these girls are still awfully protective about this place.

I officially announce this as my favourite restaurant and go to Chinese Restaurant in Beverly…read moreHills. Hiding away from the bustling streets of Beverly Hills this crouching tiger serves some of the best unique dishes that you won't generally find in normal restaurants. What I hate about Chinese food is they don't have very attractive names and most of the times they're just a straight translation from Chinese .. So I'm going to do my best to make the dishes names sounds as awesome as it tastes. We ordered wombok served in a chef's special broth, salt smoked chicken with ground ginger dressing, deep fried spatchcock and deep fried white bait with crumbed seasoned duck yolk. Oh and plain steamed rice of course! Did that tickle your palate or salivate your mouth or what? Words is hard to give this place and their food justice but the wombok was cook just right where it's not too soft as it still has a crunch when you bite on it. The special broth is thick so with each bite you get a substantial amount of flavour without needing to actually drink the broth. Which of course I drank it as if it was normal soup, just couldn't resist! Now the chicken, it's free range which makes the meat relatively chewy, and not sure how they did it, but the skin was crunchy like jellyfish if anyone has tried that before. Full of flavour and that ginger dressing was just the best compliment to the smoke salt flavour. D-E-V-I-N-E. Normally you would have white bait/squid as salt and pepper as most of you foodies would know, but using seasoned duck yolk (the ones in mooncakes) adds a different perspective all together. The first few bites are quite tasteless, but then it grows on you. The trick is to eat the white bait with pieces of the crumbed yolk and there you have a party on your palate dance floor. A meal at a Chinese restaurant isn't finished until you have the fruits. Usually (95% of the time) fruits at restaurants are tasteless, but man this place does everything so well, the fruits were SO SWEET! Can't wait for round 2!

Have to admit that the last 2 reviewers for this place were spot on with their 5 star reviews ! The Restaurant itself is pretty small yet cosy enough to dine comfortably . All the food we had ordered from the entrée, to the mains and to the deep fried ice cream were outstandingly delicious! My mum is a pretty hard lady to please seeing as she was once a chef before we moved to Australia, she mentioned to the owner that it was the best Chinese food she's had a verly long time, she had the sweet and sour duck and she said it was melt in the mouth goodness !! At the end of our feast all of our plates were spotless.. thats got to mean more than that everyone was hungry lol!! Also another note to owner or possibly the manager of the Chinese Restaurant was very humble and a funny guy, joking around and being as helpful as can be . Found a favourite Chinese Restaurant mid week up north coast and now I've found my all time Favourite Chinese restaurant in the area i live in !! Was very impressed and will definately be back and recommending tohs place to friends and family !!!

We were given four different menus, one regular, one drinks, one with daily specials, and another with other specials. Okay, a bit all over the place but I came here to eat the food, not eat their menus. Pizza for me and pasta for my lady, along with two drinks. The service was quick and the waiting time for the food was minimal. The pasta, Spaghetti Gamberi, was very delicate in flavour; prawns, zucchini, and olive oil. The pizza, a White based "Kogarah" was hands down amazing. Cooked in a wood fire oven on perfect dough. Topped with bacon, mushrooms, parmesan cheese and a drizzle of cream. It was just last week I was thinking why don't we have white sauced pizzas when we have a whole heap of white sauced pastas. The bill was around $50 - $60. The only issue was the extraordinary loud drilling being done next door at a construction site. Literally everyone seated stopped talking and looked over at the building site for the 20 second duration of the drilling. Only happened once, thank heavens.
