    appetizers, including Szechuan dumplings and Spicy Tuna Rice Crisps and crab rangoon  dip
    Tim K.

    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.

    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.

    Salmon Poké Bowl
    Sarina P.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Kingsley Town Center is so fun!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Vegan Fresh Rolls
    Mike G.

    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.

    Tom Kha Soup
    Eloy G.

    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.

    KFC Wings
    Yvonette I.

    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.

    Crab rangoon dip
    Ha L.

    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.

If they are this flippant and careless with making people sick, I genuinely cannot imagine how they run the rest of their restaurant. I cannot advise people to stay away from here enough. This interaction went beyond breaching normal restaurant hospitality and veered into lacking human decency territory. I can't imagine lying to someone about food allergies and not immediately offering a refund. Absolutely obscene.
