It's such a relief to know that you don't need to trek into the Fish Markets for quality seafood…read more These guys have an embarrassment of fish, prawns, every crustacean you can dream of - all on offer on the upper north shore. Phew. Come Christmas, Seafood @ Hornsby is an absolute zoo. They extend their hours to suit, but you're still better off ordering ahead of time and simply collecting your bounty on Christmas Eve. I'm already mentally making my order for another scrumptious seafood Australian Christmas. But in the meantime, I'll be sure to pop in here on occasion, just to keep my omega 3 levels up (read: buy and eat way too much seafood).

I entered Seafood @Hornsby thinking I'd peruse the variety they displayed and then choose something…read morefor tonight's dinner. As I entered I was asked if I needed assistance, I briefly explained I was just looking but would ask if I had any questions. Two steps later, I was asked again, then again, then again ... And finally an aggressive and snotty attendent decided to lecture me that they didn't like "Pricer's from Woolies trolling their store for pricing info". I explained AGAIN I was just looking and assured her I was not from Woolies. She carried on yapping at me for a while until I finally just left in disgust. The rude attitude, unwillingness to listen, and sheer gross paranoia were just not worth putting up with for a simple puchase of fish. I would suggest focusing on providing a service to the customers and prospects who enter your store rather than alienating them would be a better approach to growing your business. Chasing ghosts and abusing prospects is a losing strategy. I for one will not return ... And anyone I speak to will be advised to go to Windybank or DeCosti where they focus on friendly service and quality product.

I love this place, and on the occasion that I have been there with someone who is Vietnamese,…read morethey've remarked how genuine the food is (I'd have no idea). The place is pretty cheap feeling - you're like to put your phone down on the table, an then have to peel it off, but the food is fantastic. I've been here countless times, and will keep going back. The service is direct but efficient. No fuss eating - I love it. My staple starter is the rice paper rolls. Set of three, I could eat them all myself - but usually have my arm bent into sharing them. Everything I've eaten, which I doubt I could recall now, has been delicious - the laksa is spicy and hot, and a favourite - but really, anything they serve up is going to be good. The prices are very reasonable, and you have to check this out if you're in the Hornsby area. Ignore the food court at the Westfield, and get down here.

Summary: the ph is worth a 3.5, would advise other dishes when trying out this place, or ask them…read moreto serve it warmer. So I found myself on an M60 bus in the wrong direction, and the driver dumped me at Hornsby. Decided to try out the local Yelp. Ordered a combination pho based on the philosophy that this is *the* dish to judge a Viet restaurant on, if you only get one chance. I've had them since I was a kid, everywhere outside of Vietnam itself. The result was a bit disappointing, really. The ingredients are there (you can see for yourself on the photo), and based on looks it would seem a great meal. However, the soup wasn't hot enough to actually cook any sprouts, nor release the lemon zest. The flavour, though genuine, was also a bit dilute - this leaves me wishing for the richer variants found in Bankstown, or Hurstville. The tea is standard, and the locals seem to enjoy themselves. So it's evidently worth a try.

Ahhh fish and chips. Sometimes, not often mind you, but sometimes, the body gets a craving for deep…read morefried protein and carbohydrate. Usually it's when some inconsiderate person has been eating chips on the train coming home. I mean seriously, how can people do that? How can they just sit there munching away oblivious, while the rest of the carriage states at them with a mix of anger and envy. Either bring enough for everyone or don't do it. Should be a law against chips on the train... But anyway, where was I. Oh yes... A few nights ago we gave in to our cravings and went in search of fish and chips. Hooked and cooked is our local fish and chip joint. It has been on the mall in hornsby for as long as I can remember. The do a very nice fish and chips. I tend to go for the classic battered fish. The more refined members of the family go for the grilled. We can feed the whole family enough fried starch and protein to keep the teenagers full for under fifty bucks. The serves of chips are very generous. It's usually best to eat in. They have plenty of space and it's nice sitting on the mall when the weather is good. If you take it home you end up with soggy chips and soggy, greasy batter. Don't do it. Fish and chips are meat to be consumed fresh and hot and straight away.

It's BYO wine, which goes some way to mitigate the slightly overpriced meals. Curries will set you back $18.90 ($22.90 if you opt for seafood), stir-fries $17.90 ($21.90 for seafood), and though delicious, the Money bags seem way too expensive at $2.50 a pop. And other dishes like duck or crab creep up into the mid $20s. I usually can't go past the Sizzling Seafood ($20.90), which goes nicely with a glass of BYO sav blanc. You can wait a while for your meal, but if you tell them you're rushing to a movie (at the upstairs Event Cinemas), they'll do a very quick turn around for you. Some nights I've wandered past and heard live music playing, but (fortunately or unfortunately?) I haven't yet experienced a serenaded dinner. The restaurant both inside and outside is already quite loud, so adding a band can't exactly be conducive to a nice dinner time conversation.
