Spice Temple Sydney

The service is exceptional: attentive, polished, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The ambience is equally impressive, with a refined, upscale atmosphere that feels more like a high-end dining experience than a typical restaurant. That said, the food itself was underwhelming. While well presented, it lacked the bold flavors, heat, and depth that define authentic Sichuan cuisine. Overall, a beautiful restaurant with outstanding hospitality, but the culinary experience did not quite match the expectations set by the setting and service.

Had such an amazing experience here. The atmosphere was cozy and beautifully designed, and every dish was full of rich flavour. The staff were super attentive and friendly, which made the night feel even more special. Highly recommend the special sirloin, it literally melts in your mouth. Big shoutout to the kitchen team for all the incredible dishes. Definitely one of the best fine dining experiences I’ve had in Sydney!

We had an excellent dining experience at Spice Temple - served by Tony & his colleagues. Every dish felt thoughtful and full of flavour, with the recommendations really making the night special. The suckling pork was the night’s special and was perfection - an easy order again dish. The custard duck egg spring roll was another standout. Can not wait to return to enjoy again. It was silky smooth and creamy inside, with a crispy bite that reminded me of a thin, crispy churro shell around an incredibly rich filling. The mango granita was a refreshing finish and tasted like actual fruit rather than just a flavoured dessert, which made it the perfect way to end the meal. The pickles are a must-order, and the beetroot in particular was a great choice because it balanced sweetness and tang while cutting through the richness of the other dishes. The yellowfin tuna was light and refreshing, while the pink snapper was more intense but incredibly flavourful — both highly recommended. The hot and numbing dry wagyu beef was also excellent, bold and intense in flavour, and I’d recommend pairing it with rice. The prawn wontons had a delicious sauce that was spot on, though they would have

I had dinner with a friend for my birthday, and everything was great!! The pork char siu, snapper, eggplant, dumplings, and pickles were delicious. I also loved that they serve small dishes, which is great for 2–3 people who want to try lots of different things. I think it’s my favorite restaurant in the city! And I should’ve asked the Italian lady for her name — she was so friendly! One small thing — we ordered still water, and it ended up being $10 pp. It did feel a bit pricey, so I wish they had mentioned it beforehand. Maybe offering a different water brand at a lower price could be a good option.

We throughly enjoyed our meal at Spice Temple. The lovely woman who served us was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu . As mentioned in posts the serving are quite a good size . We loved the cumin and lamb pancakes . Only have the Kung Pau chicken if you LOVE chilli as there’s plenty of it. . If I have a gripe it’s that being charged for tap water is unnecessary. It’s Tap water ! We will be back.
