The Southern Wok

Dim Sum means to touch the heart

The Southern Wok is the result of “Chef” Lemon’s love for Chinese food, specifically the food of Hong Kong, his Grandmother Irene’s place of birth. Our goal is to share classic Dim Sum staples and other Chinese dishes with the community and broaden the scope of Chinese food in the south. We deliver classic Chinese taste in familiar southern dishes and vice versa.

The Triad is a diverse area with people of all backgrounds. We aim to serve delicious food and give great service to the whole community. We’ll make ourselves accessible to all through fair pricing, free community meals, home cooking tutorials, “stuff the truck” food drives, food desert pilgrimages, and other events serving the community.

“Chef” Lemon and Megan met while Josh was attending Elon University School of Law in Greensboro and Megan was acquiring her degree from Wake Forest in Winston-Salem. Josh wooed her with dumplings at every opportunity and the two fell in love. We’re excited to share the love this food cultivated with the communities that nurtured us. We hope to see you soon.
