There's an extensive menu of Israeli specialities, but I go there for one thing - the falafel pitta pocket ($8.50)! The falafel is made fresh and cooked to order, which means they're crunchy on the outside and nice a light in the middle, not dry and hard to swallow like much of the falafel out there! This is packed into the pitta pocket alongside Israeli salad, red cabbage, coleslaw, tabouli, pickles, hummos, tahini and babagange and a bit of chilli if you're so inclined! It's advisable to eat this as soon as you get it, as waiting too long will result in the sauce permeating the pitta and it gets a bit messy! But that's the only problem you'll find here! They also do catering which may come in handy. You should definitely check this place out if you're in the area, although you won't have much luck on Friday evening or Saturdays as it's the Sabbath and they're closed.

How cheap? The cheapest Chinese I've seen in Sydney is how cheap. 1 choice with rice is $4.50. What? Did they drop a 1 off the front of that? How can they even stay in business? Now, normally cheap means scuzzy and kind of not great, but this is good looking food, presented well, and it tastes great. I got the sichuan sizzling beef and man that bad boy had a chilli kick to it, they didn't pull their punches. Kicks. Whatever, it was spicy. And you better believe I smuggled it into the Hoyts cinema and ate it while watching Deadpool and laughing myself stupid.

We decided to choose Yen for Viet after reading the review below, and Im glad we did…read more Illawarra road could easily be known as 'Little Hanoi' there are 4 or 5 Vietnamese restaurants on this strip, ( and one funky little cafe on the corner called 'Cornersmith' which I have also read about on Yelp) The brighter and newer looking PHD, looked very busy, however I was determined to try Yen. I booked a table, though when we arrived there seemed to be a few available. The staff were all really friendly and professional. After about 15 mins, the place filled up as passers by saw that it was actually quite a popular place. It just isn't as noticeable as the one up the road. I tried the Bahn Xeo with Duck, as an entree. We like our food, so we ordered that as well as Prawn balls. When the Bahn arrived it was huge. And also delicious. My eyes just about popped. Not realising how huge the servings were we kind of went hell for leather and ordered the two entree, and 2 mains and a combination fried rice. We couldn't fit it all on the table! I ordered Caramelized pork belly in a clay pot. Anything pork is right up my alley, so of course it was a cracker. Quite salty but also sweet, finely chopped ribbons of pork belly that simply melts in your mouth. We also ordered the Chicken and coconut cream curry. A favourite at other Vietnamese restaurants, we like to try it everywhere because it varies so much between chefs. It was earthy and you could tell the curry had been freshly made. The combination special fried rice was awesome. with plump juicy little prawns mixed in. You could easily get away with just the rice and Bahn for teo people and still be stuffed. I noticed some other people having the whole ginger fish, which looked like a great option for two people at about $35. There is a Wine list, or you can BYO wine only. This place would be great value for money for groups, the servings are large and the staff are really accommodating.

Ok - trying to keep my 'constructive' hat on during this review…read more I can't say a bad thing about this place, yet there isn't much to rave on about either. I'll start with a compliment - this place was very busy when we got there at 730pm on Saturday - it would seem that you really do need to book, however the staff were friendly and found us a table for two right at the back - thanks staff!! The place was neat and tidy, but the ambiance was fairly flat and light. Not overly energetic or engaging to the senses. The menu was comprehensive without going overboard - we ordered eggplant fritters, rice paper rolls, papaya salad and a chicken and veg dish with rice with two glasses of red. The papaya salad was nice but everything else lacked a bit of punch and character. I know Vietnamese food is a little more modest compared to its Asian neighbours, but something was lacking... Maybe we just ordered the wrong dishes!! I am however going to rate the service, and quality and freshness of the food and flexibility of the staff and also the price point too! If I could go 3.5 stars, I would but today I'm feeling a tad on the generous side!!!
