    The sesame chicken was awful. Fried rice - decent. The food experience would have gotten two stars but no fortune cookie? What?! One star

    My husband and I wanted something quick and filling to eat so we decided to order Chinese food from…read moreLucky Star. We ordered the food online for pickup. Someone called me back just to verify the order and to advise where they were located...nice touch. When I got there, there were lots of people there waiting to get food. When I got to the counter, my food was ready so I paid and left. We took our food back to the hotel. I was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures..sigh. The food looked really good. I ordered a combination platter of shrimp lo mein, and an egg roll. My husband got an order of combination foo young and we also got a free order of sesame chicken. The shrimp lo mein was really good and had lots of shrimp in it and had a good portion of noodles. The sesame chicken was cooked well and tasted good as well...nothing special...just the regular sesame chicken. The egg foo young was bland and didn't have much flavor but was edible. Overall this was your average Chinese takeout restaurant experience, nothing special.

We…read moreordered pork fried dumplings/potstickers, General Tso's Chicken with pork fried rice, and sesame chicken with pork fried rice. Our food arrived on time and nice and hot! The general Tso's was delicious, the fried rice was all super tasty, the potstickers were very good and crispy. The sesame chicken was a bit disappointing. It didn't have much flavor. Otherwise, a good fast food order for Chinese.

    I have been here several times for lunch and dinner and it never disappoints!…read moreI ate lunch there a couple of days ago and just wanted to point out the exceptional, courteous, and personable service from Michaela. When I walked in, there was only one customer there and she was handling everything by herself. She was hostess and server. She handles it all with grace, confidence, and a smile. Kudos to Michaela and you're lucky to have her on your team!

    My wife and I recently visited Cafe Chinois and had a mixed but overall positive experience. I…read moreordered the Thai Chicken, and it was outstanding--well-balanced, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. My wife ordered the Vietnamese Lemongrass Chili Chicken, but unfortunately it was extremely salty, even by my standards, and I tend to enjoy saltier foods. We also ordered two cocktails that came out much sweeter than expected. It left us wondering whether some additional tasting and quality control in both the kitchen and bar could help improve consistency. That said, our server, John, was excellent throughout the evening. He was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about our experience. When we mentioned the issue with my wife's meal, managers Jack and David both checked on us personally and worked hard to make things right. Their involvement and concern did not go unnoticed and reflected a commitment to customer service. We've visited Cafe Chinois over the years and have noticed changes since the passing of the previous owner and the family's transition into running the restaurant. The menu has evolved, and the overall atmosphere feels a little different than it once did. During our visit, there was some trash on the floor that remained for a while, suggesting that attention to detail may not be quite where it used to be. Even so, the excellent service from John, Jack, and David, along with the quality of my entrée, showed that the restaurant still has a strong foundation. With a little more consistency in the kitchen and bar, Cafe Chinois can continue to be one of Wilmington's favorite dining spots.
