Spice Monkey Forster

It was a bustling atmosphere, so we had to make a reservation for dinner the following evening. The food and service were both enjoyable. When we mentioned that the ribs were quite salty, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the charge was removed from our bill. Thank you for the thoughtful gesture!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Asian fusion cuisine was not only creative but also incredibly delicious. The portion sizes were impressive. I recommend trying the share plates to sample a bit of everything. Plus, the view was fantastic!

What a fantastic place! The staff is wonderful, and the food is absolutely delicious—those prawn and coconut dumplings were to die for! Recently, while passing through Forster with our puppy, we were searching for a spot to enjoy a beer and a meal. Unfortunately, no one would accommodate us, not even the pub, because of our dog, but Spice Monkey welcomed us with open arms! We had the perfect spot under an umbrella on the deck, enjoying cold beers, great food, and an incredible sunset view over the inlet. They even provided a water bowl for our puppy! We can't wait to stop by again. Highly recommend!

It's a perfect location if you can find a table facing the river. You may be lucky enough to see dolphins swim by and if you are going in the evening you might be served a stunning sunset. Let's talk food southern thai prawn dunplings are too good for a starter if you haven't tried before, the korean bbq jackfruit bao was surprisingly yum and so was the Karaage chicken bao. We tried the drunken hokkien noodles good quantity to share and yum with lots of green toppings. What to drink? Splice monkey splice was quite good, didn't enjoy the Lychee fizz so much. Book ahead of time to avoid disappointment. Hope this helps :

Is there a 6th star for this review? Wow…wow, wow! Started off with a Margarita and for an Asian inspired restaurant they make the BEST Mexican style Margarita I’ve ever had…and I’ve tried a few . This Margarita kicks like a mule so rest assured, whilst $18 may sound like a lot for one drink, you really get bang for your buck! BUT WAIT…there’s more, for $36 you can order a 1litre jug of Margarita . One was sufficient for me as I’m a lightweight with alcohol but excellent value if you had a couple of Margarita drinkers with you. My partner and I decided to just share a few small dishes, we got the Edamame beans in chilli and roasted peanuts, delicious…best I’ve had, followed by vegetable spring rolls, a huge serve of Ko Pham Bang…delicious and a mere $20 and honestly, I’m not joking…THE BEST dumplings ever. If there was such a thing for worlds best dumpling then I’m pretty sure this would win the prawn dumpling title. The Southern Thai Coconut Prawn Dumplings in coconut cream green nahm jim, roasted garlic oil, toasted coconut coriander is out of this world. At first bite I was wide eyed proclaiming to have discovered the holy grail of prawn dumplings…then I found the coconut cream green nahm jim sauce…next level perfection, died and went to culinary heaven. Been dying to get here
