The balance was just right and despite the pasta keenness to stick to the plate the dish lacked nothing. The dish size was just right and not heavy leaving me keen to taste a special diet innovation an egg and dairy free crepe. Chef made the perfect blend of fruit and crepe and kept our dietary decisions intact ! Delicious and healthy. Great value and easy eating.

I have been coming here for over fifteen years and love this place more than any other. Why? Because they menu is varied and very reasonably priced. Entrees - most only $5, Main dishes are mostly $8.50 - $11.80, Seafood $14.80 and most expensive dish being the Roast Duck -$26! Choose dishes ranging from Wonton Soups, Laksa's, Fried Noodles, Beef, Chicken, Seafood, Hot Pots, Bean Curds and Congee. Also BBQ Pork, Duck and Chicken is available until 9.50pm at night. After ordering, complementary Jasmine Chinese tea is placed on your table. Sometimes a chicken broth or vegetable soup is also offered if available. The meals arrive very quickly after ordering - a strong point of this venue. No waiting ten minutes or more here. My recommendations are: Black Pepper Diced Beef with Broccoli, Sweet and Sour Pork, Steamed 1/2 Chicken with Ginger and Shallots, Honey King Prawns, Crispy Skin Chicken and the Dong Dong Fried Rice. The staff are always polite and friendly and ready to make your visit enjoyable. No wonder I keep coming back for more.

There are two large rooms to eat and a bar, along with chandelier. It was a quirky mix of design, but doubt that anybody is here for that. The pizza menu is pretty heavily meat focused, which is not surprising considering Aussie diets. Decided to try out the curry chicken pizza. Not a usual suspect, but an interesting combo, yet doubt I'd get it again. Everybody was nice. Oddly there is no wifi. Can't say this spot marked any special pizza experiences in my life, but it's not a bad option either given that it's open somewhat late and options in town are limited.

The food didn't seem enough for all of us at first but we ended our meal all with a full stomach because most of us ordered a side of rice, but I reckon for others they would have to get one order per person. The meat was OK, nothing too special but not bad either. I especially loved the pork belly and the bulgogi. There could've been more side dishes, compared to other Korean restaurants, they only had a small selection and nothing too special there either. Just the usual kimchi, salad, and tofu. Someone would often come to our table and assist with cooking the meat, though I can't quite understand whether that's because they want to give us the full service or if they simply wanted to hurry us up in cooking and eating the food. There was also a bit of a mishap when they tried turning on one of the stoves, the coal was a bit too hot and fiery and sent sparks flying and burned some members of our group.

I still mourn the day I moved away from The Point Deli…read more It used to be my local. A couple of times a week (ok, often more) I'd trundle down for one of their sumptuous sandwiches. Mostly I couldn't go past ham, avocado and salad on rye, and mostly I couldn't finish more than half. Those were happy times. Now I simply have to make a point of going back to the Point! After some time overseas I was delighted to note the shop's simple makeover (love the stripy cushions outside), but more thrillingly, my eyes went straight to the blackboard declaring Allpress coffee! Squee! I didn't think The Point Deli could get any better. Aside from the happy couple of tables outside, there are a few stools by windows and a large table to pull up a pew. But if you're coming for a lunchtime sandwich, you'll have to fight the hoards of hungry workers who all make similar pilgrimages to the point each day. Instead, I'd recommend taking your sandwich and your coffee and following your nose down the hill to Blues Point Reserve. Your deli feast will taste even better with that multi-million dollar view.

You know, I've always wanted to feel like a grown-up. This deli, more than the sandwiches, more…read morethan the salads, more than the baked goods and house-made banana bread, more than the coffee, more than the view just a short walk down the road, does that. There is a certain adult-like coolness about the space - which is painted white and cut into two parts (one room for eating and the adjoining one for ordering) - and the people - who are both alone and coupled and of much varied age. It is all very civilized and indeed, picturesque (the latter extends to the people who, here and there, look like they came straight out of a portrait picture, at least those regularly found in frames laid out for sale in department stores. This holds true particularly on my last visit, where one grandfather and his young grandson were sitting together for a meal). But you don't go to a deli for the crowd. The food here is sensational. On my last visit on a Sunday morning I had their breakfast egg roll sans the cheese and ham while, as per my request, was given a few extra things to add to the pot. As that suggests, the staff here are always very courteous about following through on your creative creations to the last dot when it comes to sandwiches - even if they're already pre-prepared. You always want to be around people who are willing to get their hands dirty. The chicken schnitzel sandwiches here are wildly popular based on my cursory observations while waiting for and then eating my breakfast roll.
