Himizu - Potts Point

I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in a Dumplings and Things masterclass with Executive Chef Andy Evans and his team at Spice Temple yesterday. Chef Deli demonstrated how to make dumplings from scratch, while Chef Andy showcased the signature Spice Temple fried rice. It was an incredible experience! The staff were exceptionally friendly, making it a true pleasure to be there and meet everyone. The very next day (today), I recreated the dumplings and fried rice for my family, and they absolutely loved it! I feel extremely grateful to have had a personalized experience with the head chef of my favorite restaurant and to have cooked in his kitchen. It was truly amazing! Thank you so much!

The service at this restaurant is excellent! Some of the dishes are impressive and very close to authentic Chinese cuisine. The food is not too spicy. I really enjoy the entrance, which sets a great vibe for a unique dining experience. However, the restaurant can be a bit dark compared to typical Asian restaurants. My favorite dish is the prawn cakes!

My partner and I went to this restaurant for his birthday dinner on July 16th. It was an incredible experience, from the food to the service. The pickles were fresh and delicious, but the yellowfin tuna was the highlight of our weekend. The tuna pieces were just the right size, providing a flavorful and textured experience. We also tried the hot and dry wagyu, the prawn wontons, and the slippery chicken, all of which were perfectly balanced and enjoyable. The waitstaff and atmosphere were excellent as always. This restaurant is definitely worth the money spent.

One word: PHENOMENAL! My partner and I had dinner at Spice Temple as a late Valentine’s Day celebration and we were absolutely blown away by the food, ambience, and especially the service! We were served by a lovely gentleman named Jack, who really elevated our dining experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and even spoiled us with some free limoncello cocktails at the end as it was also our anniversary. The raw yellowfin tuna was a solid 11/10 and the star dish of the evening We also ordered the prawn wontons and fried eggplant for entrees. For mains, we ordered the sweet and sour numbing pork, beef in ‘fire water’ and a side of steamed rice. Our dessert was the three milk cake. Every dish was amazing, and my partner and I were extremely happy by the end of it. When we asked for our leftovers to be packed for takeaway, Jack added a large steamed rice in there for free! When you eat at a restaurant with such amazing staff, it really elevates your dining experience and makes it something special. We can’t wait to be back. Thank you to the lovely staff for making it a wonderful night!

We picked the golden banquet menu and most meals were very delicious except prawn toast. I think that was quite ordinary And brisket was bit on the dry side but overall it was good especially pork belly was sensational
