This was our second visit to Spice Monkey and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was warm and encompassing with live music. The menu was exquisite with a great variety of Asian inspired options of high quality. Our children were very happy with their Bento box options and the adults happy with the generous portions.

A great location opposite the lake. Best tables face the lake, on bad weather days. clear blinds drop down to protect diners from the rain, but keeps the view, a good idea.

The food was absolutely incredible. Great cocktails, but, would like to see some classic cocktails on offer as well though. Really enjoyed the live music, it added to the relaxed ambience watching the sunset. Service was attentive and friendly. Look forward to revisiting on our next trip to Forster.

The Spice Monkey is my go to spot for a drink on a Saturday afternoon. The prices are good and the view is amazing. You get to look out at Wallis Lake and watch the birds go by. Well worth a try.

Ordered edamame, fresh tuna sushi rolls, mixed sashimi and king fish eggplant curry. The curry was my fave! It was filled with flavour and sauce. The servicing size was generous too. I’d come again

The food here is soooooo good! The quality is superb. Both taste and presentation is top notch. No time to take photos as we dug right in! We ordered 5 dishes between three of us and there was plenty of food to go around. No complaints at all. I don’t know how they could improve! Friendly staff, the service was great and quick!
