Spice - Bang bang shrimp - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The food was very tasty! I'm a fan of drinks and small plates so the portions were perfect for me. The waitress was kind and very informative. The lights were dimmed and the music was low, nice calming vibe. Our favorites were those flaming shots, not only were they IG worthy but they were sooo yummy! Great for a date or girls night of course !! read more

Spice is a great location for amazing drinks, sexy vibes, great music, and a nice upscale place to chill with your friends. I've been here a few times now for brunch, after work drinks, and dinner. Overall, I've enjoyed my experience every single time. Sometimes, the service can be a bit slow, but that was only my experience when this restaurant first opened. I enjoy going here for their sushi and the DJ. It's a great place if you want to have a good time with your girls get cute and enjoy Afrobeats or low fi hip hop music. If you're visiting here with a few friends, be sure to order smaller plates to share. It's a great place to sample different dishes across the menu. I haven't had anything here that I don't like yet. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Spice is spiceyyyy and it is IT! I took my love out and had a great date night here a couple of weeks ago. Came here on a Sunday evening with a 9:30p reservation and we were seated maybe like 5 minutes after arrival. They validate parking tickets if you park in the garage attached to the building and reservations are necessary, as the dining area is reservation only. However, the bar area is first come, first serve. 10/10 though! The vibe, the food, the ambience, the music, the service, exceptional. Prayerfully, Spice keeps this energy and doesn't implement local Charlotte things that ruin dining experiences like this one by adding hookah lol. Food was delicious and everything is shareable enough for two people. We ordered Pyro shots for the hell of it ($15 each) and drinks are average major city prices, at least $17/18 each. I loved the vegan roll, filling and tasty, no additional sauces needed, jollof rice, and the cauliflower bites- portions of this was plenty to share. My love ordered the bang bang shrimp and loved that (he eats seafood/meat, I do not). Of note, some of the dining room seating is lounge type with the table in front of you, sorta like sitting at the lounge at a club or your living room eating from a living room table so that can get a little awkward (i.e. my partner is pretty tall, so sitting there he didn't have a lot of legroom and eating lounge style can be a pain/inconvenience at times. I would've preferred to sit at a table). Also, 18% gratuity is included in your check already-- I didn't realize this until after I had already left a tip on the electronic payment processor and the server didn't say anything about it either of course lol so that was a little bummer. All in all, including the initial gratuity, plus one round of the Pyro shots, one round of drinks, jollof rice, vegan roll, shrimp, and cauliflower bites, the check came out to $170. Take someone or go here with people you love, it's a good vibe and addition to the city. Well done! read more

Last night I had a pleasure of visiting this restaurant with a friend. This place is super sexy and definitely gives girls night date / night vibes. Rhea was our waitress and she was amazing. She knew the menu like the back of her hand. She gave us her recommendations, and also provided knowledge of drinks that were not on the menu. With this being a new spot reservations are recommended. My friend and I did not have a reservation, but walked in and was able to score a table right by the bar. We got the Ruby, Rose, Bang Bang Shrimp, Spice Chicken Satay and Orange Blossom. Everything was amazing and cooked to perfection. I recommend dressing up as you may never know who you run into. In my opinion this is just what Charlotte needed. Don't waste time put this place on your list now as I am so sad, I wasn't the first one to write a review. read more

Dishonest! Good atmosphere, food was good, but a bit pricy for the size they serv. My only complaint that they don't mention the bill already has gratuity so we tipped 25% on top. This is very dishonest!!! read more

I was in town for a work trip & friend of mine recommended Spice. Spice was amazing, the ambience was chefs kiss, the service was impeccable & most importantly the food was delicious. Zion, Zion Zion...with that kind of attentiveness & attention to detail when providing customer service, you have already set this place apart from the rest. The best waiter I've ever had. There was another guy that worked with Zion that was very observant as well. My friend had dropped her chopsticks and before she can lean down to pick it up, he was there already picking it up & sitting new ones on the table. Thank you all for a good time! read more

Made reservations for Birthday and was about 30min late! They seated us right away! We had the pleasure of being served by Trace at Spice, and I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had! From the moment we were seated, Trace made us feel welcome with their warm smile and genuine enthusiasm. His attention to detail was impeccable--he anticipated our needs before we could even ask. Whether it was perfectly timed refills, thoughtful menu recommendations, or ensuring every detail of our meal was flawless, Trace went above and beyond. What truly stood out was their personalized touch. Trace, took extra time with a special drink request, and even surprised us with a thoughtful gesture that made my husband birthday truly memorable. It's rare to encounter someone so dedicated and passionate about their role. The Food and Drinks are 10/10 def sharable. The Bar bites and cocktails 5-8pm were great the crab cake and lollipop lamb chop were amazing Thank you for turning a regular meal into an extraordinary experience. Spice is fortunate to have such a gem on their team! read more

Great food and portion size for the price. Quick delivery,great customer service and fruit drinks are natural.

Good food nice people will be back. Nice ambient decor. Everyone was really friendly

We had an amazing time at Spice on the last day of their soft opening. The food was amazing and just the right portion sizes, while the cocktails were creative and delicious. the perfect type of spot to start an evening out or to end the night in Charlotte with friends. We had a variety of food to try. starting with the Cassava Fries, Korean Chicken Wings and the Shrimp Tempura roll. My wife loved the bang bang shrimp so much that we almost ordered some to go. For cocktails the Harmattan and the Matcha-Tini were big hits. Spice is one of those locations that we will be back again and again. read more

Hip spot for a date night with good food to share. The servers were all very friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly and everything we tried was tasty. We went late on a Friday after a show at Spectrum so they had a DJ there too. Make sure you make reservations for the dining room on weekends! Will definitely be back! read more

Went for dinner. Nice ambience. Food was great. Service not so much. We were 2 of us and they automatically added 20% tip.

Went here to start a girls night out and had a reservation. The ambiance was nice and server was very friendly. We got a couple of drinks which included the moonchild, matcha martini and some shots that were on fire! For the food we had the a few orders of the salmon, korean fried chicken and bang bang shrimp which were all really good. The only problem we had was that the drinks were not strong enough. Each of us had 2 drinks each and didnt feel any type of buzz. For the price i would at least like to feel something. However the drinks did taste good and were very creative. I will come back read more

Went here for a dinner club, and our group had a lot going on. I will say the service and the patients of the staff was top tier and I will go back alone to try it again. Let's get to facts: The ambience inside here is such a vibe. It sleek and sexy, dimly lit and everyone is dressed well, I love that. The food was okay in my opinion. I had the wings and a sushi roll, they were okay but not worth the money imp. I did try a couple other friends sushi... again okay. I really didn't love my drink, it was pretty but nothing I'd ever get again or go out of my way to seek. My tab was very expensive, and for the price I just didn't see the value in this place read more

Been hearing the buzz about Spice. We decided to see what it was all about. It lived up to the buzz and more. The food was amazing, the drinks even better. The ambiance was perfect and the service was amazing, our waitress Mariah was friendly and provided great service and Jennifer the manager was all over the place ensuring that everyone was taken care of. Overall an exceptional experience. We'll be back and we'll be bringing some friends! read more

Such an amazing experience at Spice this past weekend! Our server Lilo was absolutely amazing. She was super attentive, gave great recommendations, and personable. I was super thankful for her recommendation and amazing customer service! The ambiance is sexy and the food was really great! The drinks were too sweet for my palette, but I will be back to give that another try! All in all, I give this place a 10 out of 10, I highly recommend! read more

First let's start with the ambiance. It has a sexy date night type of vibe - dim lights, lounge seating and high tops with a bar near the entrance. I went on a Wednesday night and it wasn't full but the hostess made sure to inform us that they typically do reservations in the evenings (we were a walk in), so keep that in mind. Our server was Helena. She gave good suggestions and was very nice. I enjoyed the sushi roll, I forgot the name of it, but it was a hot one with asparagus & jalapeños on top. The bang bang shrimp was also good. I would've liked the wings to be cooked a little harder and to be warmer, but the sauce was good. I LOVED THE DRINKS. The matcha one is great if you like sweet drinks. The spicy tequila one was good too. I will be coming back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Great food, service, and vibe. We met friends for dinner. Our server, Nora, made excellent recommendations for us and made sure everything was excellent! read more

The food was OK! It could've been better! The service was good we sat at the bar. We ordered a lot of food 7-8 plates between the two of us. We had 3 drinks each. It was dark and kind of loud inside. The music was alil loud so people were trying to talk over music. I'm not a fan of couches with small tables in front for a dinner when I have on heels and a dress I felt like I was slouched over so we asked to sit at the bar. They do validate parking for the first 90 min we stayed for over 90 min and I paid $12 for parking. The drinks we not strong they were good in taste but you're better off ordering a lemon drop or tequila and pineapple something that's not on the menu. The people are super nice. The ribeye was my favorite although it seemed to be overpriced in my opinion. Tik tok over hyped SPICE and we were underwhelmed. read more

We had a party of 13 for my daughter-in-law's birthday party. Alicia J. was the most impressive waitress I've seen here in Charlotte since I moved here. She was so much fun, energetic and met the energy of the party. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, explained everything and smiled the entire time. She was a model waitress! Exceptional service, amazing food...definite win. The party was everything she wanted and more. Thank you, Alicia for making this day special for her! :) read more

I really liked the ambiance and the service; very friendly staff. We visited on a quiet Sunday evening. But unfortunately the food was subpar. Kinda like a P.F. Chang's with fancy furniture but not worth the $$. read more

This spot is amazing! The service was impeccable and the ambiance is so different than what you would expect in Charlotte. The craft cocktails were so good and well crafted, kudos to the bartenders. Every single dish we had was delicious. The cauliflower was spicy and I'm here for it because spice is life! Valet is $25 but there's parking right across from it where you can pay for parking. Also a parking garage attached, they do validate but not sure for how long. I would definitely come back! read more

Gorgeous gorgeous decor. Great tasting food, came out quick and hot! Unfortunately, we waited 60 minutes past our reservation time and that is absolutely insane. Luckily there was a bar. But just a rule of thumb, if 2 people have a reservation at 730, they should be seated in a reasonable amount of time. NOT at 845. read more

They don't have beer which just screams pretentious. The service was good, and the ambiance is dark & trendy. It's really expensive even for fried shrimp. The food was good although I wasn't blown away by it. read more

The place is well decorated and has a decent menu but this is my 3rd time going and the service is terrible. Ontop of it they auto grat, which makes the servers really not care about the shitty service. Its over priced. I even did a ribeye for the restaurant week menu and it was overcooked and sooo fatty. Barely any meat. Good vibes but they arent quite there. read more

Went here with a friend on 1/19/25 pretty drinks. HORRIBLE HOSTESS SHE WAS SO RUDE THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE THERE FROM ENTRANCE TO EXIT. Servers were very nice however they got our entire orders wrong- I ordered three appetizers and a lychee martini with a sushi roll. I got one appetizer, the a lemon drop martini (wrong drink) and the sushi roll was correct.. I never saw a server again to ask them to correct the drink or ask about the other two appetizers. bad service- but she was very friendly. Autograt was included in the check which is probably why they do not feel the need to give attention to the customers. If u are going out this is a pretty photo opp but other than that 0 stars.... Over priced bad serviced restaurant HOSTESS IS GRUMPY AND MEAN ASF AND WE CAME IN AT 10:45 .... We were so excited too please don't even waste your time FUMEE IN UNIVERSITY IS WAY BETTER FOR VIBES ANYWAYS. Hostess didn't even act like she wanted to almost be at work and considering that's the first face you see that's super important.. read more
