I first accessed the Wholesome website to purchase an item that was out of stock from my usual supplier. I was surprised to see the huge range of… Read more

products and the significant price reduction when an annual membership is purchased. My parcel arrived very quickly and I’ve just placed my third order today. Highly recommended.

We had an unfortunate experience with this company, as standard boxes were sent to our clients instead of the custom boxes featuring our company logo… Read more

that were agreed upon. What was particularly surprising was that their team had previously advised us that the shipment delay was due to the printing of the custom boxes, yet standard boxes were ultimately dispatched. When we followed up with their team regarding this issue, we were simply informed that a mistake had been made. We are truly disappointed with the level of service provided, as one of the key reasons we selected this company for our Christmas hampers was their ability to supply custom-printed boxes.

This is better than Local Bubble tea. Delicious. Will definitely be ordering again in the future. My suggestion, Strawberry Popping Pearls with Grape Fruit Tea

I was really disappointed with my experience with AustralHerbs. I purchased organic elderberries that arrived contaminated with what appeared to be… Read more

grain mites, making the product unusable.

I contacted the company expecting a refund or replacement, but both were refused. As a customer, this was very frustrating, especially for a product marketed as organic and high quality.

I expected better quality control and customer service. Will change suppliers now and take the matter to consumer protection.

Phat Panda have really upped their game by adding scrumptious new items to their already extensive menu. A new choice caught my eye and it was above… Read more

expectations!! It's called the "BULGOGI DAWG" consisting of: one long, large crispy roll; a whole kransky sausage; gochujang sauce; mozzarella cheese; spicy mayo; shallots and dry onion; Korean-style Bulgogi beef sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds!! Get your chompers around one of these if you can and you won't be disappointed I promise. At $18 it's only $2-3 more than a ham and salad roll, but oh so much more!! For those like me with a smaller appetite, it gave me two generous meals. Yummo.

Excellent food cooked fresh with quality ingredients. The restaurant is busy and so you may have to wait, but the wait is worth it. We enjoyed our 16 takeaway dishes today.

When you walk into this establishment service is immediate and staff are extremely courteous. Our order was on our table in about 10 minutes.… Read more

Presentation was excellent and you could not help but feel you were a welcome guest. The food did not disappoint. Each person at our table (4) were very happy with their meal. Although staff were not obvious, they were quick to respond should they be needed. My favorite eatery in Bairnsdale. I’ll definitely be returning, and returning, and returning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

to make fantastic Black Forest cakes in the past but they lost the plot in recent years for some unknown reason.. I complained last year and decided to give them a second chance this year..

Unfortunately nothing has changed.. Cake was still terrible.. more like a sludgy chocolate mousse than a cake

Worst ever Black Forest anywhere!!!

NEVER AGAIN!!!

Found this Bakwa (sweet Singaporean pork jerky) produced and sold in Australia, so happy, as pork can not enter Australian border for safety reason. … Read more

The taste was really nice, as good as the original Singapore produced. It looks very hygienic too as each individual bakwa was wrapped and vaccumed very well. However, when I keep it for a bit over a month, on top of the jerky (inside the plastic) appears white stuff sticking to the meat, despite it has been vacuumed packed. The most probable reason is the way it was produced was not hygienic, that the jerky was contaminated with fungal spores in the air before they are being vaccumed packed. Please look after your QC Bakwa King, or you will lose your business.

Terrible service, lack of any understanding or empathy. We are a party of 6 and ordered several entrees and mains dishes. I reached out the the… Read more

server and asked for a plate for my daughter. I was told they only have bowls as share plates, these bowls are slightly bigger than their dipping sauce bowls. When I explained that I prefer a plate because the rice would fall out of the tiny bowls, the server said sorry No. Their plates are only used for serving dishes. Then she walked away. In the end I moved the some of the entrees in one plate and used that for my daughter. I was extremely disappointed in the server who lacked any basic understanding to a simple customer request. I was polite when I asked and was genuinely shocked with the response. I was asking for a plate while dining in a restaurant!

time of booking found a sign saying 'closed' with no notice we had to find alternative venue at the last minute,, embarrassment to guests and disappointing inconvenience. Followed up by email the next day with no response, the place does not disclose phone number.
