“Even though you get a little less these days with the noodles and especially when you choose the same item twice in your deal its still really good tasting food. The no beef teriyaki and the little chicken chunks were really good and tasty. Always really nice. Just needed to remember to ask if customer has the app rather than being distracted trying to call someone you want from across the room. Apart from that always good service and helpful with advice and knowledge when ordering.”

“Always had good quality food and service. Never had any issues.”

“My wife bought 2 pizzas couple of days ago.She just explained where exactly is the place and today I go and get 2 large pizzas.

“Verdict • Food Quality: High-quality ingredients, particularly the fresh-cut fries and customizable, juicy burgers. • Atmosphere: Casual, loud, and dominated by the iconic red-and-white checkered theme and stacks of peanut oil boxes and potato sacks. Don't forget the free peanuts while you wait! • The Price/Value Question: This is where Five Guys can be polarizing. It’s significantly more expensive than traditional fast food. You are paying a premium for "fresh food, not fast food," but the service style is still fast-casual. Final Score: 8/10”

“We tried this restaurant as we just moved to the area. What a pleasant surprise. The food was lovely, abundant and at a very reasonable price. We loved the atmosphere and the team is so welcoming. Excellent customer service, we felt pampered and at home. Much recommended.”

“We visited here for Afternoon Tea with Father Christmas. We were a large group of 10 (adults and children). The venue was beautifully decorated for the festive season. Food was delicious and offered alternatives for the vegetarians in our group. Joe Banana was the entertainer for the afternoon and he did not disappoint. The Father Christmas was very good. Plenty of activities for the children to keep them occupied. Would definitely return.”

“Great place for chilling out with friends. Me and my mate go around there to play some pool every weekend, never had a bad experience. The staff is nice and very helpful. Really recommend this place.”

“Came on a Tuesday evening and it was a really nice atmosphere, not overly busy and very quick service. The staff were extremely quick to correct my order when I forgot to mentioned removing a sauce that I didn't like, they were very quick to bring out a new burger and made me feel like it wasn't a bother for them even though I felt so bad! We will definitely be back!”

“Chiktopia is a good place to sit in, fresh decor, bench style tables.I enjoyed the vanilla milkshake compared to other places. The skinny fries tasted full of flavour and not bland. The chicken burger was actually delicious as well! There are also self-service machines where you can order your food items for dine-in and or takeaway. Scan the table placard and put it on your table. Service was pretty quick, polite staff. Good job for your first opening at Lakeside!”

“We were here for my daughter’s pizza making birthday party. Although there were some issues with finalising the details prior to the party, on the day of the party itself, my daughter and her classmates all enjoyed the experience thoroughly. Each child received a starter, their own designed pizza and dessert. The party was mainly managed by Julianna who was a great host in making sure everything went through smoothly without it feeling rushed.”
