    I have been here twice when I was in Wilmington and the Pho is amazing. The restaurant is small but allows for an intimate dining experience, and the food came out super fast. The wait staff is also very attentive and it doesn't take long for you to get serviced. The prices were extremely reasonable and portion sizes were more than worth the price point. What I had this time and what's pictured is the beef brisket pho. Super tasty and hot and left me feeling full for a while. Absolutely recommend!

    WOW! Delicious pho bowls and flavorful sandwiches. Kind and speedy service. Enjoyed the tea and coffee as well.

    I think today is going to be my last visit here. I walked in and there was a long line (as usual) and nobody greeted me so a group of guys came in behind me and just sat down at a table after I had been waiting about 10 minutes. I asked if I was supposed to just sit and they said yes and then I did and they told me the table was reserved. I did get in a table at the back. The floor and bathrooms were absolutely filthy. I ordered the chicken pho and it had no flavor and was literally 75% noodles. The summer rolls were really good but the pho was terrible. Much better pho place up the road.

    Delicious vegan pho!

    5 stars for the vegan pho! I ordered the medium bowl for lunch, and it was huge. The broth is beautifully clear, yet still somehow has that amazing depth of flavor. Lots of beautiful carrots and broccoli and tofu, and a heap of noodles below. Super fresh basil, lime, jalapeño, and bean sprouts on the side to add in. Soupy perfection. I will be coming back regularly for this!

    We eat here every weekend. It's one of my favorite places. The pho is amazing and the staff are really friendly. It's a small place but we usually don't have an issue getting a table. The rare beef pho is my go to. The egg sandwich is also amazing.

    Small beef pho

    I haven't had pho in years and was excited a friend suggested this place. I'm surprised I've never been here since it's close to my work. The restaurant is small, low lit and super casual but it was packed on a Monday for lunch. We had a short wait for a table. But the moment one opened up it was cleaned and we were seated. Our waiter was friendly and we both got the rare beef pho. It came out fast and hot. It tasted like the pho I remembered and it was a lot for a small. I wish there was a bit more beef but I was full. I'd definitely come back here to try other items and get pho again!

    Spicy beef pho

    I loved the spicy beef pho. Service was timely, and the ambiance was homely. Very good Vietnamese food place in the Wilmington area.

    First time trying out their Pho

    The Two Piece Spring Rolls aka Summer rolls were okay, they hit the spot since I was hungry. The combination pho was good, the meat wasn't as tender or spicy as we like it. The Pho's flavoring was on point. It was a Friday night, place wasn't super busy but it had a local buzz and everyone was enjoying their meals. Good stuff, would def stop back in and give them another try, looking forward to a few other things on the menu. 3.5 stars out of 5 for their Pho, just needed a little more flavor and spice.

    Food: 4 to 5 stars as far as I'm concerned…read more Drink: the Sake was fantastic (sweet but not too sweet), the Cosmo was very good but the Riesling was a bit vinegary) Service: very attentive service. hostess to runner to waiter. Very polite, went above and beyond. Ambiance: I love the restaurant. Love the art everywhere. Most of it is for sale. Beautiful Asian art pieces encased throughout. Great photo ops when not too crowded. There's a bar with seating and seats are mixture of bench and chairs throughout for various comfort. The chairs are very roomy. Food was great. This is my second time eating here and everything was as good as the first time so it's CONSISTENT

    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.

    Really disappointed with the management here. We had a customer come in who ordered a lot of food…read moreand was genuinely so sweet the whole time. She accidentally spilled her soup and immediately helped clean it up instead of just leaving a mess. She was very respectful through the entire situation. When she asked if she could get another one remade for free or at least discounted because it was an accident, the manager immediately had an attitude and basically told her it was her fault so she had to pay for another one. Just a reminder that accidents happen. The issue isn't even the soup at that point, it's the lack of understanding and customer service. I also want to give Alexis credit because she handled the situation with respect and kindness the entire time, rushed to help clean up, treated the customer well, and actually tried to help her out. Alexis handled the situation way better than management did. Despite it all, the food was delicious!

We called it in and the girl who took the order was very nice and helpful. When we picked up our food it was the same girl and she was sweet and made sure we were happy with our order.

I have been here several times throughout the years but have forgotten to write a review. Every time I come here. I am very happy. Thanks for great service and food. 12/31/25
