Spice Temple

Great vibe. Get the pork buns , numbing beef and 3 shot chicken . Recommended by René Redzepi in CN Traveller.

Ambient lower level dining. Friendly and knowledgeable service , they know how to get the portion ordering right when sharing. Some like it HOT, try the Beef fillet in fire water

Cool and funky regional Chinese cuisine - many dishes are indeed spicy ! My favorite is the spicy fried chicken . Also try their special cocktails based on your zodiac (yes, they have all 12 of them).

The banquet menu is great for giving you a selection of dishes to try. The menu is so good it's hard to choose so let them choose for you. You won't be disappointed! Delicious food.

Really nice selection of modern Chinese. Genuine Chinese touch still stands strong amid refined touch of modern atmosphere . Bit of tricky location but feels like sneaking into a speck easy bar .

Favourites: white cut chicken with red cabbage and green chilli dressing , fried squid (Hong Kong typhoon style), steamed flathead (Hangzhou style)

Don't skip the entrees- they are amazing. The eggplant entree is spectacular and so is the dried wagyu beef . Leave all of the traditional dishes and order outside of your comfort zone...

Why is this place so dark?! Without the sommelier on shift, the wait staff tend to get really confused about wine choices! Other than that, the food was great! Do try the peking duck and numbing beef !

The cheaper Golden Banuqet is far (!) tastier than the Dynasty Banquet. The hot and numbing duck is neither hot or numbing; the pipis are delicious but nowhere near Golden Century quality.

Set menu is well planned out, great service, perfect place for a group all meals are made to be shared. Great flavours. Must try in Sydney

They offer half portions, which makes this a great place if you're dining solo.

Good for dates . All dishes were good quantity, tasty. Three milk cake was a huge dessert even for 2 people

We went for a function and had the set menu . The food was nice enough, but two hats? Dessert was just frozen watermelon . Cool interiors but very dark. Would be nice for a date.

Gorgeous setting if you like it dark and cosy. Gorgeous menu, try the eggplant 3 ways and the hot and sizzling wagyu beef . Desserts are to die for-go the choc parfait and mango pudding

100 wines , exactly, on the list.. why? So that 15 of them can be Riesling , of course. Rockpool by Grosset from the Clare Valley by the glass is a tasty drop or pick up a bottle for added fun

The cocktails are unique and the staff are just outstanding! The food was just too overpriced though - I’m not sure that I could justify paying that amount again for something that’s not fine dining .

Sooooo good. Must try: Hot and numbing dry Wagyu beef as well as the Stir fried quail and peanuts with steamed egg custard . Amazing food and impeccable service .

Meal highlights include the pork eggplant / lamb pancakes / chilli chicken and chocolate parfait ! Amazing! Can't wait to not be a student and eat there again.

Tea-smoked chicken with black rice vinegar This signature dish needs 24 hours notice. Marinated then tea-smoked, steamed, dried and cooked, the meat is juicy and the skin crisp.

The Spice Temple way is the only way, you must order the Northern style steamed pork buns . One serve is just not enough

Very dark inside, a bit off-putting because you lose your bearings. Its fancy chinese food done quite well and you pay for it too.

The bar , drinks, ambience, food - super awesome!

Food was too salty. Oyster sauce , soy sauce has plenty of sodium. Eggplant , wagyu & fried minced quail . I dont get why everyone likes the wagyu here. It was dried like beef jerky , waste of the produce

Hot and numbing wagyu beef is a must

Entrees are really tasty

WOW - seriously amazing. Must have the pork belly salad and the fish with heaven-facing chillies. To die for! Best dessert is the mango pudding . Swoon.

The hot, sweet and numbing pork is fantastic. Skip the spare ribs .

Delicious pork hock with black vinegar tea ....

Either we ordered poorly or this was less spectacular than the hype. I'm favoring the latter. Though the cocktails and opium den setting were marvelously dreamy.

All the chillies! Yum

Dumplings , pork hoc, Chinese broccoli , crab salad ,

Duck pancakes are the best

Tea smoked duck breast entree is ace

A bit pricey but delicious.

On October 10, Margaret Yu Xuan of Kitchen Yin Tang and Andy Evans from Spice Templre present a six course organic and sustainable dinner as part of the Crave Sydney International Food Festival . Read more

chicken with chillies facing up and the numbing pork is to die for!!!

The yum Cha can be fairly good at times however the price just does not justify it

Strange flavour chicken

I ordered the dry wagyu , squid and mushroom pot. The food is a bit salty for my taste, it does goes well with the rice though. Not suitable place if you are dining alone.

Chinese Star Sign cocktails are a win

Great Food.Tried Peking Duck

Delicious wine list , try a champagne with spicy dishes , it works like a charm

Numbing Beef and shredded chicken salad . Crispy pork was divine

great place.. try their numbing pork and tea smoked chicken .

Bookings are essential, although the bar has great cocktails if you're willing to wait. The "horse" and "monkey" are top notch.

Guangxi-style crisp roast pork belly

Drink by Chinese year- check out the year of the rat

Rabbit cocktail and caramelised pork ribs - yum!

Pork Belly is sensational
