    Hi Red Spice Road! Thanks for a fabulous evening last night (5 April). Lockie, the maître d, made it a memorable evening from the start, welcoming us, explaining the history of the building and ensuring we had a good time. The Moto Taxi menu is a great way to taste some of the best dishes - all delicious but the betal leaf and pork belly my favourites! The piscatorian and vegetarian Moto Taxi menus were equally delicious. The goat dish was wonderful too. Can’t wait to visit again on our next visit! And the decor and the building a great space. Thank you! (The Table of 8 by the door)

    The food here was the star of the show. We chose the tuk tuk banquet. Pork belly was outstanding and everything else was delicious especially the cauliflower and betel leaf dishes. I preferred the old venue but the service here was lovely and we had a very enjoyable night. Great place to take visitors. It’s a bit on the noisy side but we didn’t mind that.

    It was my birthday. We arrived at 5pm and were given the lunch menu. 5pm is not lunch time. Not even offered a drink while discussing the menu and trying to decide what we could have. Had to bother chefs for dishes off dinner menu. Still not even shown dinner menu. We were the only ones in the restaurant cant be that hard to get service. Wont be going back there.

    Group of 8 not wanting a set menu but we received so much more. The quality of food was outstanding and we will be back again and again. All very reasonably priced. Something for everyone.

    Had the Feed Me menu ($69 option) - and couldn't fault it! The first dish came out super fast, which was unexpected. But after that, the food came at a really good pace. Great venue for groups of 8-10, or for a special occassion.

    Have been Red Spice Road several occasions with friends and it has never let me down. Great Asian inspired foods and services. Ambience is stylish and offering great experience. Can't recommend further, must go to those haven't been there.

    Been there before & it was great, this time it was terrible. Too noisy (last time we went when it was quieter), very expensive & staff were quite rude at times. We had a banquet & because I was gluten free, they gave me the same fish for two dishes, and it was very dry. I was disappointed. I had recommended red spice road for this group meeting but I quite was embarrassed about how expensive & poor value for money that it was. The staff member bought out a carafe of wine, which we didn't order & she got grumpy when I explained, so we ended up keeping it to avoid an argument. Probably won't return for sometime.
