Set on East Washington Street in downtown Greenville's east end, a short walk from the Main Street core, this small dim sum house pairs handmade dumplings and shareable plates with a full cocktail list. The approach is a short, curated menu with a playful twist on tradition rather than an endless cart, and that focus is the point. A couple of dishes come up again and again from diners. The crab rangoon arrives reworked as a shareable dip rather than the usual folded triangles, and the green beans trace straight back to the owner's own family recipe. People also single out the shrimp and pork dumplings, the char sui, sesame balls, and egg tarts, with short rib and other specials rotating through the board. It runs as a small, reservation-friendly spot, and the hospitality earns its own mentions, with the owner known to stop by tables mid-meal. The shared-plate format and the cocktails make it an easy call for a night out with a group, or a low-key date where grazing across a dozen small things beats committing to one entree.

Wok & Spice runs a menu you won't find at most Greenville Chinese spots: Indo-Chinese cooking that folds Indian spice into familiar Chinese dishes. Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken share the page with a crispy paneer appetizer and noodle plates that land somewhere between Sichuan heat and South Asian spice. That crossover is the real draw, and it is what sets the place apart from the nearest takeout counter. Reviewers keep circling back to a few plates in particular: the crispy paneer to start, Singapore noodles, spicy basil chicken, and shrimp in lobster sauce. Portions run generous and lean toward sharing, so a table tends to leave full at a mid-range price. The room is a bit of a surprise for this stretch of Haywood Road: open, modern, and full of natural light rather than the dim takeout setup the storefront might suggest. Diners often mention staff who take the time to walk a newcomer through the menu, which helps when half the dishes don't map to anything you have ordered before. Come expecting to graze across a wide spread of fusion plates in an unhurried room, with someone on hand to point you toward the good stuff.
