The dish had a spicy kick from the chili which I personally enjoyed, although it may be too hot for some. I paired it with steamed rice. We only dined in the bar area, which had its own menu, so we have yet to try the other dining area and their menu. In addition to the restaurant, XO Embassy also has a market stall at the Noosa Farmers Market every Sunday. I highly recommend trying their tempeh bao buns, they are amazing!

The vegetarian tasting menu was especially delightful. The restaurant has a cute decor and the food is flavorful. However, the service was disappointing as our waiter made mistakes with our order and forgot some items. What made it worse was that they blamed us for the errors, which was surprising and unacceptable.

An excellent experience based on excellent food and a good range of beverages. Easy on street parking is a bonus. read more An excellent experience based on excellent food and a good range of beverages. Easy on street parking is a bonus.
