A delicious array of varied Asian dishes provided with great service in an open, modern-decor bar and dining area, Spice deserves its reputation as one of the best restaurants in the region. I'll start by saying that while we've routinely had delivery from Spice, until this recent visit we had never actually eaten there. Our goal was to enjoy a late afternoon on the rooftop bar. Unfortunately, it was busier than we anticipated and the only open tables were unshaded. No problem, we went back downstairs and helped ourselves to seats at the bar. Our drinks were well-made and thirst-quenching - it was honestly hard to pick the best among the Japanese Old-Fashioned, Asian Pear Martini and Lychee Martini (confession, I'm not a lychee fan but if I was I'd have two of these). By now we've had most of the items on the menu and have never received a bad meal. My favorite Small Plate is the Spicy Tuna Rice Crisps. Fresh tuna served on Japanese style crisped rice cakes with a hint of spicy mayo. I could eat these every week - and yet, we didn't order them this visit. Instead, we had the Roti Canai, edamame, vegan fresh spring rolls and seared scallops. All were devoured, so good! Among the other menu items, my recommendations are the Green Curry and the Short Rib. The rib in particular is fall-off-the-bone tender and served with a flavorful au jus sauce. I was very impressed by the service (especially compared to that of several other restaurants in the area). Our bartender was busy, yet still cheerful and attentive (and she made great drinks), Definitely in my overall Top Five among restaurants in the Fort Mill / Rock Hill area. Highly recommended! read more

Cuisine: 7 Service: 8 Decor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 7 I didn't expect myself to like it since I generally do not appreciate Asian fusion. However, this place was honestly quite good, along with excellent service and wonderful decor. Two of us started with some Edamame and Tom Kha Soup, which were both just alright. Where the meal started to shine was they brought the perfectly Seared Scallops w/ Vermicelli. I have been to Michelin starred restaurants that didn't have such a beautiful sear on their scallops. What a tasty treat! As for the entrees, the Braised Beef Short Rib was another spectacular dish. Falling off the bone tender and a rich savory sauce. However, the Bibimbap was nowhere near the quality we have in NYC. I honestly didn't expect to like this restaurant, but I really did enjoy the meal way more than anticipated. I will gladly return for those Seared Scallops and Braised Beef Short Rib again. read more

Went late yesterday afternoon for an early dinner and had an interesting experience. It's a beautiful venue, very classy, very open and inviting. Our server Abby R was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered a trio of appetizers for the table: Szechuan dumplings, wonton chips with crab Rangoon dip, and KFC (Korean fried chicken). The wings were as good as expected, great flavor, piping hot and crunchy. The real surprise was the wonton and Rangoon dip combination. Just a stellar idea, executed spectacularly. The Szechuan dumplings were a little spicy and tasty, but they were just warm, which gave them an oily mouth feel. I got a to-go order of pork fried rice, and I have to say, I could've done without it. Pulled pork just doesn't go with fried rice, flavorwise or texturally. The biggest disappointment about the meal was when I attempted to settle my tab. I walked to the front counter and was confronted by a young woman who snapped, "We don't take money up here!" Thankfully, Abby came out and took my payment, but the first young lady was so offputting, it will be a while before I go back, if ever. Definitely not how you convert a first-timer into a regular customer. read more

I had an amazing time at Spice Asian Kitchen. We went after work with coworkers and out of town partners for an evening of networking. We had an amazing experience. We ordered several appetizers from the dumplings to the egg rolls to the wings and to the Bao buns. Everything was amazing! I ordered the red curry with chicken and shrimp for my entrée and it was absolutely delicious. For my drink, I had the Japanese old-fashioned, which was amazing as well. Overall experience was 10 out of 10. The ambience was great. The staff was friendly and attentive, and we had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

A second trip back to Spice Asian kitchen resulting in a good dinner experience. The second visit required me to try something new. I was going to get this meal the last time so got it this time. It's the Kow Pow. from the walk, you get minced chicken, mushroom, bell pepper, cooked onion, Thai basil, some carrots topped with a fried egg and served on steamed rice. The rice is a white rice that actually came on the side so you could spoon it in as you saw fit. We did order a couple appetizers. The Rangoon crab dip was quite good. You don't get a lot of dip, but you do get a lot of chips. Overall, I thought it was OK. I like spicy, but this had an odd spice taste to it. Staff was still friendly. Place was still clean. Overall, the experience was OK. read more

This is one of my favorite asian places to eat! Everything is delicious! I mean everything!! My favorite is the crispy duck! There are very few places that serve it! We love the Roti with the curry sauce as well. The service is excellent! The ambience is lively! A bonus, they have a rooftop bar! Be sure to make a reservation and arrive in time to park and walk to the restaurant. This is a very popular area! You won't be disappointed! read more

This was my first time trying Spice! I got the Taco Trio with beef, shrimp and chicken. All three were seasoned really well but my favorite was the beef. The tacos came with a delicious sauce that drizzled over the top. The sauce took it to the next level. The service was good and fast. The restaurant has plenty of seating inside for a laid back casual vibe. read more

Spice is SOOOO yummy. I've tried several things on their menu, but their salmon poke bowl is my favorite. My husband's go-to is the green curry. The spice sodas are also really good (especially when you're pregnant and in need of a tasty mocktail) - my favorite is the strawberry mint. Highly recommend! It can be a little pricey, but the food is worth read more

This was our first time there so 5 out of 10 food was good seating bad. A little over priced

We came on a Sunday around 2pm. We had the spicy tuna crisp and a sushi roll for the appetizer. The crisps were delicious! The sushi roll has good too but I liked the crisps better. I had the Bibimbap bowl. It could have used a sauce drizzled on or in it to make it more flavorful and add a little moisture to it but it was good still. I had leftovers and added some sauce to it at home. The service was great and the place was very clean and had a nice chill aesthetic. We were hoping to sit outside upstairs but it was closed until dinner. read more

I came here after a morning at Carowinds. We were so hungry and this hit the spot. I had pad Thai and I swear it was the best pad Thai I've ever had. We had the crispy tuna crisps and sushi as an appetizer - Both were very good. There was not an appetizer of kimchi and I asked if I could get a side of it and they accommodated that request. I also asked for pickled onions added to my pad Thai. They are very accommodating to extra requests. It was my wife's birthday and they brought out a chocolate peanut butter pecan brownie with ice cream. The service was great. I would definitely recommend this place if in the area. read more

I was in town for a conference and my hotel was just down the street. Spice Asian Kitchen has a great menu full of delicious choices. I ordered for pick up and then walked to the restaurant and had a drink at the bar while I waited. The people were friendly and my meal was ready much earlier than expected. The food was delicious and just as perfect to-go. I LOVED the Spicy Edamame (don't worry, they have a non-spicy version, too!). There is nothing better than Spicy Edamame, it reminded me of Hawaii! The Spice Fried Rice, was yummy and I added Chicken and Shrimp! I cannot wait to visit again on my next trip! read more

What are they trying to fuse with--McDonald's? The sweet and sour sauce seemed to be in everything. The bao buns were sweet and fried--completely missing the mark. The roti canai had an old lime sourness that was really off-putting. And most of all, why was the Szechuan chicken swimming in sour gravy? To be fair, the service was good, and the atmosphere was nice. If you're coming here for drinks, a salad, and a pleasant ambiance--or if you really love that sweet-and-sour flavor--you might enjoy it. As for us, we'll stick to places with more authentic dishes. read more

Spice Asian Kitchen is absolutely that spot. We came in for a chill vibe and good food, and they delivered way beyond that. Every single plate we ordered was fire--from the crispy wings with that sticky heat, to the scallops over glass noodles (so tender!) and tacos stacked with flavor. And let's talk about that crab dip with the wonton chips... elite. The drink game is strong too--my Old Fashioned was smooth and perfectly balanced, no watered-down nonsense here. The atmosphere is trendy without trying too hard (shoutout to the neon "SPICE" wall for the photo opp), and the service was just as on point as the menu. Highly recommend for date night, girls night, or honestly just because--it's that good. read more

The shimp tacos are bland with no flavor or seasoning. The shimp tasted old and was over priced for what you get. Nothing to recommend to anyone. read more

Stay away if you are dining alone and don't want to sit at the bar. They refused to give me a table during lunch since I was alone so I left. Not great.....will probably not be back read more

Fresh as heck! Each item was so well flavored, so tasty, and tasted light/healthy rather than heavy/unhealthy. I know the name may dissuade people that can't handle spicy food, but the food is spiced meaning flavored, rather than spiced meaning spicy. This can (and will) be enjoyed by anyone with zero spice (heat) tolerance. There's a beautiful seating area that can be rented out upstairs, but downstairs is just as nice with high ceilings and candles at the tables (during dinner hours). Parking is available in the shopping center, both regular spots and parallel parking. They also have daily specials so check their menu! Lastly, the service was great as the waiter came over more than enough times to check in and fill water and politely ask if anything was needed. read more

I read all the reviews and had mixed reviews so I had to try it for myself. Overall this place is a solid 3 stars. The food was not as good as what I have tasted in other parts of the US. I have lived in Texas and California and based on my experience this was just average. Some of the reviews are correct. The noodles taste more sweet than I'm used to, so I had to ask for some chile spice. Typically the pad Thai comes with peanuts, spice, and limes. ‍ This has none of it. The Tom Kha soup was good, more milky than I'm used to or more of a very white color than I'm used to. The strawberry mint drink was good. The Service I can say was excellent and the gentleman helping me was very attentive and helpful. The ambiance was nice with a potential for a nice view of the pond if you sit by the window or the 2nd floor. read more

What a beautiful spot. I really enjoy the space. It is nicely designed. It is in the middle of a big plaza which means easy parking. The plaza is so nice. The staff was super nice and there wasn't a long wait time to be seated and I love that. The best part. THE FOOD: My favorite thing is the seared scallops. The noodles were perfect. I would good back for that appetizer. It was light and fresh. Perfect blend between the scallops and the noodles. 10/10 The wings: very crispy. I like the sauce. I was very happy. The tuna crispy rice. I really liked the crispy rice portion but I'm not a big fan of the tuna. That is a personal preference. I will say this spot is pretty pricey. I still think it's awesome space and worth visiting. read more

It's a nice restaurant abd there is Valet parking (free) which is great because parking at Kingsky is a pain. However, I would earn you about a huge unlnmarked step (except for a painted faded red strip) at the back entrance near the Valet. I did a face plant which could have been serious! I went because I was invited and I'd heard great things. I'm afraid I have to say I wasn't familiar with several of the dishes and I thought the prices were very high. What I ordered (appetizers) was ok but small portions for the price. Service was slow fir a table of 8. I found nothing there to entice me back. read more

I feel like the location and ambience are the only thing good about this place. The food here is mediocre Asian fusion food. We got poke bowl (not pictured), pad kra pao, drunken noodles, spicy tuna crispy rice (not pictured), crab rangoon dip, and dumplings. The only two things that are decent were the crispy rice and dumplings. The other dishes were SUPER sweet and not good. My family and I didn't have the best experience with our waitress either. It took till end of the meal for her to get us a refill of water and she wasn't friendly and helpful at all. Don't think we'll come back here again. read more

I celebrated my birthday at Spice Asian Kitchen on Saturday, May 8th with a reservation for 16 people. I had celebrated there the year before and had such a wonderful experience, so I was really looking forward to returning. Unfortunately, this visit fell very short of our previous experience. The atmosphere upstairs on such a beautiful evening was lovely, and I appreciated being seated there. However, the service throughout the night was extremely disappointing. There appeared to be only two bartenders also handling serving duties, and from the moment we arrived, we felt poorly greeted. Our waitress never introduced herself, offered drink recommendations, or created much of a welcoming experience at all. It took at least 10 minutes just to receive water for the table, and much longer for cocktails. Service felt very disorganized throughout the evening. When food arrived, dishes were essentially auctioned off at the table as though no one knew who had ordered what. One guest in our party didn't even receive her appetizer until after her entrée had already arrived. What made the experience more disappointing was how different it felt from our visit the previous year. At that time, our server was energetic, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely engaging. He asked what we were celebrating and even brought out a complimentary dessert for the table to share, which made the night feel special and memorable. I understand restaurants can have off nights, especially with large parties, but this experience lacked the level of hospitality and organization we had previously enjoyed and expected. read more

Been there many times with colleagues and clients. Never disappointed. Food, service and ambience - all great!

This is the most honest I can get! I see a lot of reviews that rate over 4 stars. We ordered the crab dip and it was a bland cheese sauce with no flavor at all, please consider elevating this dish as it could have the potential to be a great dish. Very flavorless. The main course was the bim bim bowl. The ingredients were all fresh and very appealing to the eye but lacked in flavor. The bulgogi beef did not taste like bulgogi beef at all. Overall I gave it a two because everything presented well but lacked on flavor. read more

Came here because I wanted some good cocktails and great apps. Lycee martini is yum l: 5/5 Thai basil mojitos 5/5 were on point. Chicken pad Thai 2/5.. It not up to standard. The chicken was very very dry.. we couldn't finish it. Pork bossom3/5 Its was very salty. I have made this at home before. It's labor intensive. So I guess I can understand it can be salty. Depending on which day you go. The service can be a hit or miss. Most of the time, I sat at the bar. But if they're short handed. It will be awhile before you can get the bartenders attention. The ambiance: 4/5 some days it can be really loud and packed. It's hard to hear and hard to get waiters and anybody's attention. Other times. It's nice normal volume.. and the staffs are attentive. But I like the drinks so it will be my spot to hit when I'm craving for a lycee martini. read more

Got food. Mostly consistent. Yummy. Roof top eating area and never been open when we've gone. Some things are pricy for what you get size wise but overall never had a bad meal here. Portions can be lacking sometimes especially for the pricing read more

Nice place. Warm spring day and it was HOT in the restaurant. There with group for birthday celebrations. Appetizers were great! And quick. Food came fairly quick also. I ordered Shrimp Fried Rice. Very disappointing. Lots of rice with egg only (no other veggies) except RAW bell peppers. Shrimp were big but no flavor. I would not order again. They brought complimentary brownies for the bday peeps which was a nice touch. Nice place, great staff but some of the food wasn't so great. read more

Amazing food, great service. Music a bit loud but overall, as perfect as perfect can get!

Packed restaurant so ordered take out. Got the vegan fresh rolls. They were just ok. Not super flavorful to my palate. The peanut sauce tasted just like peppers. I didn't get layers of flavor only just heat. I'd be willing to trying something else on another visit. read more

Traveling for work and this was in the area, our SVP raved about the poke bowl, but unfortunately I wasn't able to eat raw fish, but I checked the menu for other options. It's a mix of Asian cuisine, anything from Thai, Chinese, Korean to Japanese. They also have affordable lunch options! I opted for a bulgogi bowl over rice. The beef is an extra $3 on the lunch menu. The bowl was pretty hearty. They weren't stingy on the meat. The meat was also nicely seasoned with a good bulgogi taste. I liked! Their kimchi was also good too. They have plenty of seatings even when they're packed during lunch. Not bad. read more

Disappointed. We went for lunch and the name of the restaurant alone, Spice, had us excited. Sadly we couldn't eat there, had to get back to work, and when I opened up my order it smelled wonderful. Sadly, that did not translate to the taste. It was fine, but not great. I had to ask the front desk for some hot sauce to give it some kick. After that, it was delicious. Work on the flavors so it's not so bland. read more
