First time diners tonight and have raved the whole way home! The food was amazing and the dumplings were sensational, the best we have ever had. Even our fussy teenagers tried and loved everything we ordered. We were looked after by Serena who explained everything to us and helped with our selections, so a massive thank you to her, the service was great! We will definitely be back, great food, staff lovely, excellent service and spectacular view!

Amazing spot! Lovely staff. And delicious food (prawn and coconut dumplings...mmmm yum). Recently did an overnighter in Forster on the way through with our puppy dog, looked for a spot for a beer and something to eat. No-one would have us, even the pub, due to our dog, but Spice Monkey did! No problem whatsoever! Had THE best spot under an umbrella on the deck, cold beers, great food and a crazy view of the sunset on the inlet. Even brought a water bowl for our puppy. Looking forward to stopping in another time. The best!

It's a perfect location if you can find a table facing the river. You may be lucky enough to see dolphins š¬ 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

Amazing restaurant with fantastic food and drinks. The new chef there is so passionate and so friendly! He's worked in Sydney, London and France!! has done an unbelievable job, the new menus have been fantastic!!! Exactly what this town needs is food like this. Well done kitchen team and exec chef (Zac! )Brilliant Front of house staff (Gabi, Sarah always a pleasure) who are always lovely. Good atmosphere. Good to see a small business tick all the boxes. Will dine again and definitely recommend. Try the desserts too!! Love Spice Monkey

Is there a 6th star for this review? Wowā¦wow, wow! Started off with a Margarita and for an Asian inspired restaurant they make the BEST Mexican style Margarita Iāve ever hadā¦and Iāve tried a few š. 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 WAITā¦thereās more, for $36 you can order a 1litre jug of Margarita š³. One was sufficient for me as Iām 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

We have always loved the Spice Monkey and go there when we are at Forster for dinner but our dinner on Friday night was a real disappointment. We had dinner 3 weeks ago and it was amazing, Friday night we ordered Tempura Prawns which we had 3 weeks prior they were light and tasty. Friday nights was like eating a piece of fish from the fish shop. Heavy thick batter, full of oil and the batter we had to leave. Told the waitress and she said that was how they are made didnāt like when we commented it wasnāt ever served with thick fish batter ,tempura is a light batter.

Food to die for! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The kingfish sashimi is incredible; on par with any top Japanese restaurant I've been to in Sydney. The beef brisket rendang, one of the best curries I've had. If you visit Forster, you must visit this restaurant!
Follow-up: My dining experience with Spice Monkey on my second visit was just as divine. Fabulous service, scrumptious and flavoursome food with a picturesque view of the water. The pictures speak for themselves!

After a nice walk on the beach I found this location online, was looking for a nice place to have some food and alcoholic beverages to finish up the night.
Parking was very easy to find, when I arrived at the door I was greeted immediately by a waiter and he found us a seat by the booth. I scanned the QR code on the table and was navigated to the menu, a waitress came over and asked if we wanted to order a drinks and have more time to pick food, which we did. After ordering our drinks, it arrived a couple of minutes after which then we ordered our food. Our food came in waves, one after each other
