Every suburb deserves a Korean BBQ joint, and now Sunshine finally has one. As with all Korean BBQ, sets are the way to go and at Chingu there are 2 people and 4 people sets.

The topping selection is VAST and you can dabble in healthy goodness or go straight to the sweetest lollies.

Souvlaki, gyro and cafe - welcome to Glengala Road, Cyprus Time! Mamma and the kids visited this NEW Hellenic eatery among the strip of shops in Sunshine West and it’s already proving quite popular!
