What people say

Chinese restaurants are known for their bold flavors and unique dishes, and Spice Temple on Bligh Street in Sydney is no exception. This modern Chinese restaurant takes service to the next level with a philosophy that prioritizes the customer experience. One standout dish that should not be missed is the hot and numbing dry wagyu beef, which packs a punch for those who can handle the heat. For those who prefer to cook at home, Spice Temple also offers a step-by-step recipe for their spicy Kung Pao Chicken, one of their most-loved dishes. However, if you'd rather leave the cooking to the experts, make a booking for lunch or dinner and try it in-house. Another must-try dish is the lamb and cumin pancake, which is delicately rolled and filled with fresh lamb before being crisped to perfection in the pan. And if you're looking for a unique cocktail experience, try their Sheep Zodiac cocktail made with Irish whiskey sour, lime-infused umeshu, and hibiscus. Spice Temple practices responsible service of alcohol so you can enjoy your drink responsibly. Whether you're a meat lover or vegetarian, Spice Temple has something for everyone with their Kung Pao dish available as both chicken or tofu options. Overall, Spice Temple offers an unforgettable dining experience that combines exceptional service with bold flavors and unique dishes that will leave you wanting more.
