- MMelanieLondon •1 review5.0Dined on Jun 3, 2026Rin Sura is consistently excellent. As Brunswick locals it is our go to place. The food is spicy when indicated as so on the menu, but the incredible flavors always balance the spice and you just want to keep eating with your mouth singing. Stand outs are always the arancini for starter and the massaman curry, as well as anything with pork belly.More infoRin Sura$$$$• Contemporary Asian• Brunswick•4.8
