About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
The dining room at Spice Temple is warm and dramatically lit and while there is little reference to Asia in the architecture, the space is intimate and relaxed, with subtle influences of the exotic street hawker food markets in China.

Spice Temple’s menu pays homage to and draws inspiration from the provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi and Xinjiang.

While Spice Temple’s food is designed for the shared table, so too is the wine list with an interesting and exciting selection of exactly 100 Australian and imported wines.

    In general every food preparation was way too salty, prep needs to be revisited to make it palatable. Great service, good atmosphere.

    Food was great as always. Service was lacking - they seemed to be quite understaffed the day we were there.

    Waited 10 minutes to be seated. No one at the counter. Hostess seemed bothered when she arrived. Booking not found. Had to produce open table app otherwise it seemed we weren’t going to be seated. Waiter improved the night from a poor start.

    I booked dinner for my husbands birthday, also noted it on the booking. The waitstaff for our area seemed very flustered, despite mostly empty seats and generally ignored us minus the required 1 x drink order and 1 x food order. Other areas were also celebrating their birthdays and were presented with cakes, but we had nothing. Food was INCREDIBLE, three milk cake was to die for, but overall expected more attentive service for a $300 bill. Upon leaving we did receive 3 very cheerful goodbyes 🙄

    I have been here many times and it has always been one of the top restaurants in Sydney in my opinion. Sadly this is no longer the case, we had a very disappointing evening compounded by the fact that it was a birthday and I had reccomended this restaurant
