Shared early dinner with friends before a sporting match. The set banquet menu was delicious and reasonably good value for money. What added a sour taste was the price and quality of the cocktails. When the beverage bill for 4 drinks (70% ice) and 3 small bottles of sparkling water was almost the same cost of the food it doesn't... More

Where do I begin. My birthday dinner with a bunch of amazing people ruined by the rudder booking hostess I've encountered anywhere in the world. Apparently miscounting your guests by one is major inconvenience - in fact I was scolded by this 'waitress' and told that as they were fully booked, one guest would need to leave or stand!!! Bottle... More

Red Spice Road is now a regular favorite for my frequent business trips to Melbourne. I have taken groups of 4-10 here and all have provided rave feedback food quality and atmosphere. Favorites are the standout pork belly, the twice cooked lamb ribs, kingfish salad and crab betel leaves. Wine list is limited but good choices for glass, carafe or... More

A beautiful room to walk into. However this was quickly forgotten when we were crammed in like sardines on high chairs that sunk in at the base. A sore back came along very quickly. Upon ordering a bottle of wine, it disappeared only to be found on someone else's table! Waiters response to the mix up was what do you... More

Despite a full house on Mother's Day, the staff were friendly, swift service and the dishes were delicious. The whole family voted the pork belly as the best dish but I have to say that the other dishes were good too. Loved the fried lamb ribs, beef salad and chicken. Great value - very generous serve including two large serves... More

By far the best Pork Belly in Melbourne! Big claim you say? Well I challenge anyone to find it done better anywhere else... Any time they have a themed degustation night (Thai, Cambodian etc) I recommend to head on down it's great value for the mountain of food you get, and so delicious in a warm, vibrant and friendly setting.

For starters, the crispy small prawns was good. However, the oyster was a big letdown. For mains, the pork belly was good but a little too over-fried. The chicken was good, the softshell crabs were too soggy. The tofu was good. Overall, it wasn't as great as many have reviewed here (imho of course). Lastly, price was reasonable enough and... More

I dined in the private dining room with a group from work. We chose banquet number 2, which was delicious. The pork belly is a standout, as are the ribs. This is a very popular restaurant, it was buzzing on the Tuesday evening we were there, so book ahead! More

Pork belly! The best in Melbourne. I regularly eat here and the buffet options are great - each dish tastes amazing, with the signature pork belly being the most succulent and memorable. Great cocktails though we normally get a jug which makes it easy. Always sit in the lantern room as it is more intimate and you can see the... More
