    The food is not bad whereas the service is not quite satisfying. The waiter could have nicely asked how we would like to have our steak rather than giving us a lesson with any possible arrogant attitude.

    Not impressed at all with this place. Food takes ages and also caused food poisoning! It took over an hour to receive our food, with plenty of other patrons receiving their meals before we did… Only after having to follow up with a waiter, we were told our meals were magically going to arrive in 2 minutes? Not even an apology for the unreasonable waiting time. No one came to fill up any water or update us about our meal until later. Even though we were some of the first people to sit down for the night. Overcooked steak is a bit unusual for a place with steak in its title and as it’s main dish. It wasn’t the worst. But not when you’re so hungry after waiting an hour, because then there’s no point when you have lost your appetite. Following our late meal, a member of our party got food poisoning… And we know it was from this place because it was the only change in his diet for a long time! The only thing worse than food poisoning is food poisoning that you actually paid a lot of money for. Not the first review I’ve heard regarding low quality food making people sick at this place. Will not be returning.

    It's better than I remember from many years ago when I last went. Service is exceptional, from the moment you walk in to when you leave. Dikshan took great care of us for the night, a lovely personality, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was fantastic and came out at a good pace. Seared scallops were beautifully presented and had a nice char-smokiness, which went very well with the puree. The Cajun prawns were juicy and so tasty. The porterhouse steaks were delicious. Mine was closer to rare than bleu, but it was so yummy it didn't matter. The STKM chips were the best, so crispy, and the truffle oil and parmesan were nice additions. It's slightly pricey but worth it for good food and a great dining experience.

    Great ribs and taco!!! The steak, however, can do better IMHO. But overall a very nice experience. Their Cherry Ripe dessert came with a really nice presentation with bubbling smokes!!

    Beautiful steak bar and grill.. very extensive drinks menu to compliment the steak experience. A Highly recommend the restaurant for the ultimate steak and wine combination. We have been coming back year after year.

    Second time dine here. We reserved a table and asked to be place in a quiet corner. Needless to say we got exactly what we asked for. The atmosphere was fantastic. The staffs were very professional, attentive, and helpful with menu recommendations. We asked for steak and got someone came out with a board 'presented' different cut, marble score, and recommended temperature for each. The tomahawk steak was so far the best steak we ever had, juicy,tender and melted in your mouth; made everything else feel plain in comparison. The price is on the higher side for steak but justifiable for the quality. Not your daily dining but definitely worth for an occasion.Would def come back next time.

    We enjoyed a nice dinner here with friends. All of our steaks were cooked to our likings. The lamb ribs were especially delicious. The porcine mushroom sauce is absolutely amazing & pairs well with steak and the wagyu potatoes (also a winner!). Staff were pretty attentive & service was good. Only downside would be the set table/dining times that doesn't leave much room for flexibility either side.

    Not worth the price tag of a fine dining steak restaurant. The presentations of the food was nice but the taste and overall experience was not. We ordered the standard scotch fillet and asked for medium rare but most of it was medium and not much taste. We ordered a medium rare wagyu scotch fillet that’s $90 and it was definitely soft and almost melts in your mouth but for some reason the beef taste wasn’t much. The sides were also average and quite disappointing. Staff were friendly but overall as a steak lover I would not come back here.

    I share this review with immense joy because the dessert offerings at this restaurant catered to fulfill all my cravings!! we ordered molten lava cake and cherry ripe and it was exquisite, both by presentation and taste. The gooey lava from the cake and the sweet and sour flavour of the cherry ripe completely satisfied my taste palette. The fog from the dry ice used for presentation added a magical touch. I must say that the staff were very attentive and warm. I can't wait to dine in for a full course meal at Steak ministry!

    >The service here is amazing. Everybody from Nisha to Bill to MS are very helpful and friendly. They will not look down on you when you do not know things. They’ll politely explain.The service is so good to the point where you feel like you’re old buddies. > For starters we ordered fried calamari, a charcuterie board, mussels and a Wagyu beef slider. These were quite delectable and they arrived in a small amount of time after ordering. > The steaks just melts in your mouth. They are top grade cuts and marbled perfectly. These dishes are served with a small salad and a sauce of your choice on the side. The very friendly servers will give you a very detailed explanation on how choose you cut of beef. ( I did not know anything about steak before I came here). > They have quite the collection of spirits and wines. Once you tell them your preferences, they will recommend a drink for you or you can order your own. If you are getting cocktails.... Ask for MS because He makes and amazing Spicy Mexicana ( my sister’s favourite) He also makes an exquisite Strawberry Tart and a tasty April in Paris. > For dessert they have the softest Caramel Pillow which just wraps up your meal perfectly.

    Delicious food with great service, nice wine selection. Seafood starters, steak and sides were all fantastic. Dessert options were good too.

    Steak Ministry is a true culinary gem that deserves every bit of its five-star rating. From the mouthwatering steaks to the delectable sides and the masterfully crafted desserts and not to forget unique cocktails. Every dish was a work of art. The restaurant's commitment to excellence, combined with the impeccable service. I'd like to thank all the staffs who created an extraordinary dining experience for my birthday that will remain etched in my memory. I would tell anyone not to miss the opportunity to savor the unique dishes of Steak Ministry.

    Absolutely amazing service. Especially Bill. But everyone was lovely, caring and the food was so delicious. Definitely will come back! Was so surprised that the google reviews are so low when the quality of the place, food and staff are 10/10. Was especially pleased with how great they were with our little daughter.

    Just celebrated my birthday there with my friends. First of all, kudos to the bartender, we loved every drink you made 🥂. The food, chef and team, was amazing, and we loved every bite🫡 .Shan, you looked after us very well, did well with these 7 demanding ladies (minus me). Also, the candle and cake were 👌 That's so sweet and exciting. You're awesome, Shan! My day with my friends was made memorable by the overall experience 👏. Definitely going back and highly recommending.

    From the moment we stepped into the door, we knew this was going to be a fantastic night. All the staff were kind and friendly, attending to all requests for the night Overall, the food was a delicacy, steaks cooked to perfection, and they had one of the most extensive drinks menus I've ever seen Will definitely be coming back to try more as so many options on the menu sounded amazing

    Been here many times and always have the same feeling. For a place that specialises in steak, they don't really stand out from the crowd. The atmosphere is loud and at times it seems you are fighting against the table next to you. That said it was busy so I recommend booking and the staff are amazing and make you feel welcome.

  • 5/5 Claire R. 7 months ago on Google
    A quality experience all the way. You sometimes forget how good quality food and service can be. The moment I walked into the place I knew I was in for a good restaurant experience.

    Had dinner with friends, shared the Tomahawk steak (4 people). It was so good and we enjoyed it very much. As a starter we had the crab cake, which was very nice. The steak took longer than expected but we got a complimentary lovely chicken ribs. Cocktails we had were the espresso martini, lychee pearl and the elder flower power. all were good !! All dishes were well served and looked good ! The only comment we have for the restaurant is the toilets which we feel were not clean enough.

    Food taste good but the price is so so expensive. Maybe recommend you all not to order the starter.Portion too small and so expensive. Order the main dishes is more worth then starter. Service is not good as others restaurant. And for the sauce of the steak cost you $5 each. Oh dear..

    Staff were lovely, food was great. Food didn't take to long to come out and it was all cooked really well. Only thing was when the rib eye came out it looked a little sad been plated on such the big white plate but overall it was cooked to perfection.

  • 5/5 David L. 7 months ago on Google
    A bit on the premium price side, but well worth it as very high quality tomahawk. Go with the recommendation of medium rare, anything more you lose the flavor. Super tender and full of flavor. A+++

  • 5/5 T M. 8 months ago on Google
    Exceptional service from the staff here, something you don’t get much of these days. We had two great waiters who were serving us, extremely knowledgeable of the drinks and menu. Very pricy but definitely worth it for a nice birthday dinner out. Service from Emmus (hope I’ve got it correct) was fantastic!

  • 3/5 Jacinta Dzioba (. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately for the price the service was lacking and a let down. New Years Eve it took over 30 mins for anyone to even take a drink order. The staff are friendly but forgetful. The food was amazing but asking price I would expect top service. The Vodka flights $30 each had probably 1/2 a shot definitely not worth the price. The pork Crackle looks great but probably need to offer 1/2 severs. The sauces that accompany the meals are beautiful. I also think when you purchase a steak that’s costing over $50 a sauce should be included. Overall we did enjoy the food, but the price was ridiculously high. Cocktails were very average. Also very disappointed that they had no oysters left.

  • 5/5 Ben M. 8 months ago on Google
    F1 Australian Wagyu scotch fillet was cooked to perfection, with a tenderness not experienced before. The steaks here are the next level experience for all those carnivores out there. Prices are exy but you won’t be disappointed.

  • 4/5 Elliott 1 year ago on Google
    I've been here a few times and the food is always great, steak always comes out quite nicely, the calamari is lovely but expensive for what it is. They have a large selection of drinks, definitely try them out!

  • 5/5 Kim D. 8 months ago on Google
    Had a catch up business meeting since work remotely now. Compact place with too many tables and chairs. Maybe they need it for dinner service. However, the food was fantastic and service was great. Service attendance was a bit too much but very friendly staff. Definitely will be back.

  • 4/5 W 8 months ago on Google
    A steak restaurant with a good atmosphere. The price is not cheap but overall it is reasonable. The service staff will introduce you with the meat plate before you order. I think this is very good service. When the steak is delivered, there will be sauce on the side. It is recommended that you don't need to add some sauce for now.

  • 3/5 Norman C. 1 year ago on Google
    Food: great. Steaks: well cooked and full of flavour. Pork ribs juicy and nicely seasoned. Half-rack is huge! Sides are fairly generous and tasty. Our son loved the vegetarian gnocchi. Desserts are well presented and really nice. Menu has changed over the years. Service: hmmm... has gone downhill a bit over the years. We ate on a Tuesday night. Food delivery fast (we were the first diners ). After that, we had to ask for: our dishes to be taken away, for the dessert menu (twice), and for another glass of wine (also twice) (drinks selection is terrific). We also had to follow-up on the bill. The manager clearly recognised slow service, as he directed staff to our table and asked the cooks about our desserts.

  • 5/5 Som y. 1 year ago on Google
    Always outstanding. Food ✔️ service ✔️ decor ✔️ Came in had a great time, I have been here numerous times but it was the first to come back after the pandemic. Still great place for steak. Just wish they still served dry aged steak. They do have wagyu though. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Amit T. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited Steak Ministry for the 1st time with my colleagues after many years of just walking past it. Impressed with the overall food quality - presentation, taste, quick service and general cleanliness. We started off with seared scallops, fried calamari and followed by scotch fillet for main, onion rings among other things as sides. Scallops were fresh, succulent and I couldn't just stop with one. One serve is 3 scallops. Delicious. Calamari was equally good. Tender, juicy and cannot recall one this good from my past experiences. Steak - yeah! Great. Overall very satisfied with the experience. The place felt a bit pricey but was worth it! Will definitely visit again! Thanks guys and keep it up!

    Great to see this gem of a steakhouse has not missed a beat since the first time we visited years ago. Very accommodating with our large group booking even though I had to push my booking time to a later session on a busy Saturday evening. Service excellent as usual and steaks cooked to perfection just like all times.
