Red Galanga Asian Cuisine is a restaurant just off Oxford Street in Bulimba. It's just up from…read moreOxford 152 on Wambool Street and is open for lunch and dinner, 7 days a week. Although it calls itself Asian Cuisine, it's predominantly Thai cuisine - however there are a few dishes of other cuisines, like GadoGado (Indonesian), Chicken and corn soup (Chinese), Takoyaki (Japanese) and Teriyaki (Japanese). The menu is really quite extensive, and there is a long Specials menu with some fantastic dishes. Some of the highlights of the Specials menu is the Salmon Lover (grilled salmon in thick red curry sauce with crispy basil), Red Galanga Fish (deep fried fish with ginger and vegetables) and Spicy Duck Adventure (spicy stir fried roasted duck with chilli, garlic, basil and vegetables) The Red Duck Curry is really delicious with lots of fruit in it - it's strange how fruit like lychee, tomato and grape go so well with red curry and duck. There's also a Thai favourite on the dessert menu, Black sticky rice with coconut milk! YUM! Red Galanga also has lunch specials - Take away for $10.50 and Dine-in for $12.50 and a choice of stir-fry, curry and noodles. An extra $2 for 2 pieces of entree - spring roll, curry puff, fish cake or golden parcel.

When my partner and I are stuck with the prospect of getting take out due to a ridiculous schedule…read more- perhaps forgetting to do a supermarket shop or arriving home to realise the key ingredient to our planned dinner is out of date - we generally begin DREADING the many quick but fat loaded take out options around us. It was on one of these nights we decided to try out a new Asian restaurant - Red Galanga. This was actually well over a year ago, around the time they changed the name from 'Red Ginger' to something a little more exotic. We were immediately drawn to the Salmon Lover - a thick cut of salmon that is juicy and always perfectly cooked, served with an assortment of delicious Asian vegetables with a mild creamy red curry sauce. The vegetables are particularly great in this fresh and filling meal, as they are served beautifully crunchy and always bright and fresh in colour. No sogginess here! We were also enamored by the Crispy Duck - succulent pieces of flavoursome and LEAN duck with of course a fittingly crispy skin, sliced atop a bed of more crispy vegetables, served with a thick teriyaki sauce to drizzle over. We generally order 'enough rice for two' and enjoy layering the two dishes atop a bed of rice. They taste surprisingly tasty mixed together, and I have been known to save the left over dregs of Salmon Lover sauce to enjoy with fresh rice the next morning. :3 There has not been a time we have ordered from this place and not ordered our 'usual'. I know we should broaden our horizons and sample the other delights on offer, but these dishes are just SO GOOD! Something to note - wether we are picking up take away or are sitting in enjoying the ambiance of the simple but elegant and clean restaurant area, the food has always been presented with the same level of skill and care. Staff are always very friendly and accommodating, and the food is generally prepared very quickly (around 20 minutes from ordering). This is an absolute gem of a restaurant, and I encourage you to try it out for yourself.

First time. Last time. Absolutely appalled. First I thought absolutely ludicrous that the…read morekitchen at Chermside closed at 8:15pm. After eating the first ever meal, I realised why. I ordered the Slaw Burger with fries. Oh, I mean, COLD fries. The burger does not state that it is spicy on the menu. An abhorrent amount of sauce both in the slaw and on the burger itself which was also coated in a nauseating glaze. I literally had to scrape the over zealous amount of sauces off the bred. Those bread boards they are served on, just plane idiotic! Plus, they look none-too-clean. By the time I'd done my best with my revolting "dining experience", I ensured to leave a note on the paper which encloses the burger, stating way too much sauces with an unhappy face. One more thing, the preposterous volume of the music blaring so you couldn't speak to your partner.

The location in the Brisbane CBD is great but we found the food not good. My companion ordered a…read moregrilled chicken sandwich which wasn't a chicken breast but more like little pieces of chicken mushed together on the bun. Some pieces seemed pink and undercooked. It was weird. I had the spicy chicken which was actually quite good but definitely spicy. The main problem was the service. You order on the app, but we waited about 40 minutes to get our food. I went up to the counter to inquire and several service members made a point to walk past me and never make eye contact to help me. My companion finally came up from the porch to tell me our food had finally arrived - that's how long it too. Then when it was time to pay, similar experience - couldn't catch the eye of anyone.

There was only four of us , so how hard is it ? the service was appalling, slovenly waitresses, slow almost non existent attention , meals came out erratically , never together , and of very poor quality. Tasteless was the best that can be said. When we went to pay , unbelievably we were asked by the owner how it was ! So I told him in the nicest way of all the issues we encountered. My feedback was met with a torrent of foul mouthed abuse , the man is a pig. He abused me at the till , then followed me out to the table and abused my companions. Stay away from this place , you can do better.

WHY is this tiny, purple-lit, photo-walled restaurant SO successful?? Here goes my list:…read more 1* It satisfies our human need for belonging (ooo that was deep). The friendly owner, Mr Duc Tran, greets you with a warm smile and a "Hey mate, how's it going", sits you down, explains the menu, gets your order and welcomes any customisations, takes your photo, goes away then comes back within moments with your food. It really felt that fast. Two minutes later (if you agree) the photo he just took is on their Facebook page! Ha! Awesome. 2* The food is delicious, fresher than fresh, and portions are generous. 3* The takeaway menu always has a special (cheaper) price. 4* Customer service is out of this world, second to none. It's no wonder it's so popular with the locals :D

This is the cutest little cafe around town. It is located within the Beenleigh Historical Village…read more It is suitable for all ages including children and seniors. You can make a half day out of it, you can head down and explore some of Brisbane's history, support the locals, receive a wealth of knowledge and enjoy tasty food! The Tin Cup Cafe has a very relaxed ambience, very causal local experience. They have down to earth friendly staff and great meals made with love and have a home-made feel to them. All meals are very affordable and there are senior discounts on certain days and events etc. I took my grandparents there and they adored the place. Entry is very affordable to the Beenleigh Historical Village, no more then $8 pp. Discounts available for concession, students and children. A hidden gem!

I have been visiting Hog's Breath at this location for many years for birthdays and special events…read more Had I written this review 3 years ago, you'd be seeing a 5 star review with nothing but praises. However have not been for 2 years (moved up to Bundaberg) and it wasn't until a recent early Christmas catch-up with family that prompted this review. Prices we had looked at online were higher on the menu than what we had seen advertised. Had to wait for almost an hour for our steaks (lunch sitting, almost empty with only 3 other tables being seated), our jug of coke seemed very watered down. Someone ordered the loaded potato skins and when it arrived there was only 4 and at a price of around $18 i think that's a bit rich. One of our salads ended up with sparkles from a children's desert in it, we were told we would receive 25% off the meal which didn't end up happening. One of our group ordered a prime rib cooked medium rare, but after 45mins was told that he could only have one medium rare if he did not want one of the 18hr slow cooked steaks. Strange since on their menu it states that they are best served medium rare? On top of this, gravy used to be included with your meal along with 2 sides (salad and fries/mash). Now it is $2.95 on top of the cost of the meal. I don't know if this restaurant has changed hands in the last few years but I know I will not be returning as the quality has bottomed out.

Hog's Breath is the restaurant for everyone. They have recently re-vamped their menu and have…read moreintroduced a good range of vegan/vegetarian options. I commend them for branching into plant based options to ensure everyone is catered for when dining in their restaurant. The Vegan Schnitzel Wrap is AMAZING. I personally opt out the lime and coriander dressing for a traditional tomato sauce. Service and Staff Dress Code is something that can be improved. Arguably it's a steakhouse, not fine dining. Overall would recommend this restaurant for any age group, with a particular emphasis on family friendly dining options. Very causal setting, affordable, with a rustic homely vibe. Curly Fries are too die for and is what Hog's Breath is renowned for. If you purchase a membership you will receive 25% off for life, which is a fantastic discount for those that are regular diners.
