My boyfriend and I come to this restaurant every week! The drunken noodles, pad king, the duck special, salmon special, masaman curry and basil chicken are a few of my favorites! Everything is so fresh and flavorful. This is hands down the best Thai food restaurant I have been to. And the staff is so nice! read more

Fantastic Southeast Asian food. I've had several dishes from here and each has been perfectly satisfying. The proportions are generous, allowing for great leftovers. The price for the quality and quantity of food you get is superb. Recently they've gotten a new chef and she is a great addition - the menu items haven't changed much (I'm sure there will be more soon) but she had updated the existing menu in a wonderful way. Highly recommend this place! read more

I've had better Thai. My noodles were a little soupy. The wings were ok.

Got hungry on the highway and stopped for a quick bite to eat. It was easy to find, but definitely quite a haul off of the interstates. We had little difficulty finding parking, but know that you will need to parallel park on the street as there is no lot. The menu had a lot of variety and service was speedy. However, it was very expensive, and quite overpriced for the quality and atmosphere. It felt and looked like a casual diner, but a (Saturday) lunch entree cost $15+. When our server offered to "just have them cut up a spring roll on your salad," neither us expected that we'd pay $3.50 each for one spring roll - especially when an appetizer-size order of 4 spring rolls cost only $5 total. I left the restaurant baffled that I had been charged $4 tea, $4 for a spring roll, $15 for a noodle bowl, and a total of $50 for lunch for two, with no drinks. read more

Food is EXCELLENT, but this is a small restaurant and they just were not staffed to accommodate a full house on a Saturday night. It took us some time to be seated and once seated it took long to place order and long to receive food. We had salt/pepper tofu, shrimp bok choy, summer rolls, spring rolls, dumplings, soup and every item was very fresh, beautifully displayed, and delicious. Just wish they would staff more for a busy Saturday night! read more

I've been here several times and it is always delicious! Best thai food in the area, with great service and generous portions. The green curry and drunken noodles are my favourite... but have also had several special curries and they are awesome. Everything is fresh, aromatic, and the level of spice is perfect. It is also BYOB which is awesome for dining in! read more

This is such a great place and the food is amazing. We learnt the chef is from Laos and she opened the restaurant with her brother-in-law. We got the pho with beef slices, brisket, balls and tripe, the steamed post buns, the curry chicken and beef with green pumpkin. All of it was amazing and we could taste the Laotian and Cambodian flavors. This place is definitely a must try in Delaware. read more

I live and work in Wilmington, and often get tired of the same old stuff that's around (pizza, subs or tavern food) when seeking a lunch option. Southeast Kitchen is something different and delicious. Only recently have I started to branch out of my comfort zone with food. Upon ordering I kept it safe and ordered Chicken Pad Thai and Crispy spring roll. When I told the staff member that I didn't really know much about Thai food, she told me that if I like it enough that next time I should try their Pho. The food was reasonable priced and tasted amazing. Needless to say I am having Pho for lunch later this week! read more

Extremely helpful and friendly owner, and exceptional food. As a vegetarian, I find they have a abundance of options for me. My new favorite place to eat. read more

The noodles were over cooked so it was really mushy. I would not recommend this spot.

Best Vietnamese food I have ever had and my waiter Tay gave me an A+ recommendation. Excellent service who checked us often and a good atmosphere. Would definitely come again and often read more

Love this place, but bummed they took banh mis off the menu. They were the best in the area.

We saw the great reviews and decided to check it out based on the tofu options. It was fast service and delicious food - we got the spring rolls and the pad Thai and we will definitely be back to try something else. Nice service as well. read more

See all

It's not only the food but also people working in the kitchen which makes this place special. We randomly chose this for dinner tonight not only because we were already very hungry but also because one of us was feeling depressed.. And boy this place definitely lifts up your mood not only by providing you good number of options in the menu like Spicy Shrimp Coconut ,Pad Khing, Regular Red/Green/Yellow curry but indeed you will be taken well care of by very happy staff all singing jovially everybody's all time favorite Hotel California . . The portions are good in size so felt happy and relaxed after eating a full hearty meal here. read more

Excellent, creamy massaman curry, light and flavorful grilled squid vermicelli, very reasonable prices

If you haven't been here yet you are truly missing out. Whether you choose to dine-in or just grab take out the whole staff treat you like family. Best Asian cuisine in the city. The Chili chicken basil is hands down amazing. Beef basil equally amazing. Ingredients are fresh and prepared to perfection. Portion size is great. The Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) are so delicious. I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. read more

My favorites here are their shrimp & pineapple fried rice, spring rolls and bahn mi.

This is a love letter to Southeast Kitchen. Thank you for digging your way deep into my heart (stomach) so that I would never want to live without you. I hope I never have to. But please, can you stop being a tease and make pho too?! read more

Came in and sat down. Waited 5 minutes for someone to notice us and give us menus. The staff didn't acknowledge our existence even though only two other tables had patrons. We walked out, read more

This place is incredible. Fresh ingredients well prepared. I've tried many things from the menu and I am always 100% satisfied I highly recommend the basil chicken. read more

Kitchen dumplings are divine. I love dumplings, so to find some that are quite so tasty was really a treat. I also had a bowl of pho. Nice flavor in the soup, but it wasn't anything to write home about - pretty standard fare. The food was fast, service was good, and I'd stop in again. read more

I'm giving 1 Star since Yelp doesn't allow me to give a 0 star rating. I had the worst customer service experience in a long time. The worst part is, I order take out from here often but never dined in. I called to make a reservation and the young lady on the other end said, "They don't take reservations and stop taking customers at 7:30pm, because they close at 8pm." We walked in at 7:23pm and was told they weren't taking any more customers. They not only denied us, but the customers that arrived before us. She said, "We only have 2 people in the kitchen!" And then walked away rudely. I'm not sure why it's my problem, because you choose to be under staffed on a holiday. I can't believe me and my family were treated this way on Mothers Day of all days! I won't ever be back or ordering take from here again. I will take my money elsewhere. There are plenty of other Thai restaurants in the area that have better customer service and better food! read more

Probably the best food in trolley square. Very friendly staff, quick service and flavorful piping hot food are some reasons why dining here is always a pleasure. read more

Good thai food. I like the pad thai and my friends love the pho. Budget friendly and quick. The hot wings are flavorful even with the ghost pepper. They also have a hot pot that I've been waiting to try. My one criticism is that they tend to use cheaper cuts of chicken in their dishes like the mango chicken and the thai version of chicken noodle soup. The noodle pot with chicken is delicious because of the marinade. They have huge portions, so you can even split a dish. The staff is friendly and they obviously care a lot about creating rapport with customers. read more

Great food, quick and friendly service. The dumplings are crisp and flavorful, and the red curry dishes are delicious. My two reasons for the missing star are the cold draft due to their busy take out business combined with having only one door, and the strong-smelling cleaner they wipe the tables with, which distracts from enjoying the flavors of your meal. read more

Southeast Kitchen was very accommodating by creating a vegan dish for me... I got a bit nervous as the menu indicates that they do not have vegan or gluten-free items... Very enjoyable meal! read more

Delicious food and great service with a smile every time! Pad Thai and pho are a must try... My family and I have also tried many other items on the menu and it's all good! Atmosphere is plain, we usually get the food to go, but if you're looking for something low key for lunch, definitely a great place to check out. read more

Where are my yeo orders of chicken pad Thai? The phone u left on the help didn't exist. What is going on. Please explain.

I have never been impressed with this restaurant on any visit. The menus are out of date, the tables usually haven't been cleaned, and the service is slow. The food is bland and could use some more spice. I have tried a few different dishes on the menu and have never had luck. It is a shame that this place doesn't have better quality. There aren't many good Thai places in Wilmington, and this is one of them. read more

Southeast Kitchen is a great blend of South East Asian food and if one loves such food they will not be disappointed. The place is comfy and relaxed! My colleagues had discovered it a few weeks ago and were sold on a particular dish called Salt Pepper Tofu which never failed to disappoint us. We order it every single time we visit which is at least once a week :). I also love the Vietnamese Yellow Curry. The staff is courteous and the service is great. read more

The best Asian I have found in Wilmington. I have yet to find something that I didn't like which is unusual for me. My highest recommendation since Saigon Vietnam closed. read more

Great food! I love the curry options - highly recommend this great place. The menu has a good variety, and the prices seem pretty good. It's nice to eat in or carry out. read more

Awesome, get the bahn mi for a quick lunch sandwich, or the yellow curry chicken if you're hungry. Prices are very reasonable

I love SEK and their food, but they don't answer their phone. Half the time I call I get a busy signal, and sometimes (like tonight) it rings and rings. Eventually someone answered but they immediately hung up or it got disconnected. Called back with no answer! If they're too busy to take more orders, that's fine -- but do your customers the courtesy of telling them that. read more

Had their chicken Pad Thai for dinner tonight. It was really good. Not too salty or deep-fried! We had lunch there before and the food was good at that time as well. read more

Southeast Kitchen - Chicken Pad Thai - Vietnamese Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Great food and reasonably priced. great spring rolls and lettuce wraps.

Terrible service, very long wait, and rude. We waited 45 minutes to learn that they hadn't even started preparing our food. They explained that they had a lot of take out and we would have to wait our turn. When the owner came out to apologize, he yelled at me instead. I pointed out that nobody was being served. He told me not to come back. Really unbelievable, as we are 7 year patrons. Will not come back. read more

Outstanding food! I've lived up the street for 2 years and decided to try something new. Glad I did. Got the drunken noodles with shrimp, south east wings, and chicken fried rice. All three dishes were outstanding! A bit pricey but for the quality and convenience I can live with it. I would recommend to anyone read more

Really like this place for take out. I think you can byob but honestly I've never tried. The portions could be bigger but overall really good flavor and quality. read more

Southeast Kitchen has become one of our go-to spots for takeout. It is a welcome change to the standard fare (Italian/Bar food) of Trolley Square. My first order, the Veggie Pad Thai, was a miss. It was very dry like it was missing something. Since then, I've stuck with the Tofu Drunken Noodles and occasional curry and have never been disappointed. My husband is a fan of their Chicken Pad Thai. Sometimes, their service over the phone leaves a little to be desired, but the order is always ready in a timely manner. read more
