I'm always up for paying decent $$ for a great meal but this place is way overpriced for the quality of the food. Its better than your average Chinese takeaway but not worth paying too dollar for. Take note they charge a surcharge, on top of charging you $10.50 each per person for a glass of water, and they will also asked for a tip too, again service was ok but nothing to write home about.
TLDR: Had a good banquet experience. Initially confused by the TV screen door, we found our way downstairs to the darkened dining room. While the room was dark, each table is well lit, so reading the menu and seeing dishes was very straightforward. We opted for the premium banquet, which is seasonal and likely to change regularly. In May 2021, it featured yellowfin tuna, smoked duck, wagyu beef, pipis, Peking duck baos, coral trout, and a supporting cast of salads and vegetables. The dishes were excellent, and each course a well balanced offering. We opted for wine by the 375mL carafe, accepting the waitress’s excellent pairing recommendation for a white and then a red. Each carafe gave us two generous glasses of wine. Service was attentive and helpful.
My team won a $1000 dinner incentive and we chose Spice Temple to spend up. It’s perfect for groups and if we didn’t spend on food we could always spend up on cocktails. We ate: Hot and numbing dry Wagyu beef $29 - this is normally the crowd wow, but not this night Tea smoked ½ duck with mandarin pancakes 10pcs $49 - mandarin flavour was awesome Prawn wontons with black vinegar and chilli 8 for $29 Northern style lamb and fennel dumplings 8 for $29 Guangxi style crisp roast pork belly with coriander, peanuts, red onion and sesame seeds $47 - my all-time fav dish and it did not disappoint Stir fried Wagyu brisket, with chilli paste and lucky money dumplings $49 - so delicious Kung Pao prawns Sichuan peppercorns, heaven facing chillies and cashews $49 - this may have been the dish of the night, so tasty!
One of our absolute favourite places to eat out. its not possible to be disappointed with any of the menu items. Just so damn tasty and well crafted. Drinks are on point and service is excellent. Massive love to the team at Spice Temple. 🤙🤙
We went there few times. The food is another level, many varieties of Asian westernised dishes that will entice your test bud! They also have a nice bar serves good cocktails before and after dining. Great place for couples, birthdays and special occasions .
Came here for my birthday. Food was absolutely amazing, couldn't fault a single dish. The brisket and the duck were amazing, we went for something different and we weren't disappointed. The fried rice is spicy so if you like spice it's a must.
Very nice ambiance and very decent amount of dishes with the banquets. Recommend for business lunches and dinners.
Once you master the incredibly heavy entrance door, you descend into a darkened cavern of delight. From the huge wine list down to the friendly service, this is a temple of sensorial majesty. The banquets are immense value, but be prepared, these are no miniscule foam laden dishes...they are LARGE! My favourite was the cold chicken entree...magnificent. We had a wonderful experience, and it didn't cost a bomb. Try it, you'll love it!
Woooooow!! Best Chinese dining experience of my life (better then Mr Wong). Flavours, ambiance, service - all 10/10. We ordered the banquets & the only problem was that there was too much food for two 😂. Can’t wait to dine here again!
Good food and good atmosphere. Can be busy so better to book in advance.
