Spice Monkey Forster

Busy place and we had to book for the next evening for dinner. Pleasant and good food and service. When asked about our meals, we told them the ribs were really salty and it was taken off our bill. Pleasantly surprised. Thank you.

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 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

Didn't know what to expect but I was very pleasently surprised. Asian Fusion food that was as creative as it was delicious. The portion sizes were excellent. I recommend the share plates so you can have a little taste of everything. Great view.
