    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute and quirky spot with interesting menu choices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice lunch spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is great! You order and pay and then sit down and they'll either call you up or bring it out for you.

    I continue to love love TKS. I met two friends here for lunch. One had never tried it (she's in love with the food here too now!). I ordered my usual- Nonna's meatballs without the bread, cucumber salad, and the pear, gorgonzola, and pecan salad. This time I also added in a brown butter brownie for all of us to share. Delicious all around!!!

    Was starving and needed a breakfast yelp came thru for me at the kitchen sink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Funky inside spot with local North Carolina flavoring.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I gotta say the service was the star of the show with both waitresses being extremely attentive and helpful. Little small on the portion for being called the kitchen sink, but they gave me a to-go cup for my coffee so we're all good.

    First of all- big shoutout to the service. Even though it wasn't busy, they took time to take care of our order, kept us updated when one of the items was made incorrectly and quickly fixed the error, and overall represented their business very well. The sandwiches were above average, having a nice blend of meats and toppings into some unique creations. It won't blow you away given the price, but after a day at the beach we were happy with what we got. The sides are what you'd expect (the fries were, surprisingly, our favorite part of the meal). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some clutter and grime around the store, but overall a fun spot not far from the beach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    All around the best place in Wilmington. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere, the workers, the food.... AMAZING!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do a special brunch menu on the weekends though. I didn't know about that. But went and it was still amazing and delicious. LOVE IT!!!

    They've updated this place a bit and it's really well done. They've added a small bar area for espresso or cocktails, and moved the tables around which makes more sense. They have great weekly specials! Of course, their food is just as wonderful as always. The people who work here are always pleasant and look like they enjoy their work.

    What is there not to love about this place?! We are in town from NY. We stopped to grab lunch I got the sweet n savory with the house made chips. My daughter got the Mac n cheese and fries. Huge portions of fries were are mouthwatering. My sandwich has so much flavor and blended well together. The Lavender Lemonade is a must and refreshing. We ended up coming back my daughter got the same thing again but with the parm fries. I got the Goat which is AMAZING it was so yummy. The soup was really good too. We plan to visit again before we head home. This is our go to spot the next time we visit Wilmington. This place is a gem. The staff is so friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We felt so relaxed and at home here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Fabulous lunch date at the Kitchen Sink today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love the eclectic vibe here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the Get Smashed sandwich...delicious. The bread is so good. My husband had the Meatball Sandwich. The person that took our order was very pleasant and our food was made promptly. I'll definitely be back.

    ** I would like to note ahead of time I have been going to pho cafe for YEARS and have raved about…read moreit to all my friends and family. It's been my #1 pho spot in all of wilmington- so I am GREATLY disappointed and feel robbed** I called ahead to place an order for beef pho ( which they prep batches 8 hours ahead of time, AKA premade, not yes distributed) and bánh mì. After giving payment over the phone I realized I needed to call back to request no cilantro (or basil) due to concern for the nationwide outbreak of Cyclospora (if you haven't heard of this, please look it up and be cautious/ aware). This is a parasite linked to cilantro, basil, and bagged salads causing severe illness such as diarrhea and vomiting across the nation, starting on May 1st, 2026. So I called the restaurant back to request the accommodation, they proceeded to tell me that they "do not do accommodations or alterations". I explained to them that if they could not accommodate me, I would like a refund for my order because I no longer want the food due to not wanting to risk it (this food was going to be dropped off to my pregnant sister, moreso reason to not want to risk it!!). They responded and said they neither cannot accommodate a refund or my SIMPLE ask to remove cilantro and basil. I told them I would reach out to my bank if they cannot proceed with proper customer service and they basically hung up on me. I walked into the establishment and told them in person why I wanted the refund and informed them of the nationwide outbreak.. the woman (owner) told me that their distributor (Sysco) would give them a heads up if their cilantro was contaminated. I looked it up, and CDC has not yet been able to identify specific suppliers YET (so obviously Sysco is still a POSSIBILITY, again, that I don't want to risk). I informed the owner of my research findings and she proceeded to refuse a refund, stating "making accommodations is inconvenient and we would lose profit if we were to refund you" , even though I did not take food home with me because I no longer wanted it. Owners argued the food was already made, which I argued back that the broth is prepped HOURS ahead of time and their veggies are pre bagged, so nothing was cooked on the spot for me that wasn't already prepped. I told them being denied my refund is basically stealing my money since I am not taking food home and I continued to press for a refund. They told me they were going to call the police and asked me to leave. I got in my car and waited and called the non emergency police department to get advice on the situation. The police department told me to contact 'The Better Business Bureau East Coast ' as it was not a lawful situation. I re-entered the establishment and told them I'd be doing so as well as leaving a Facebook review. At the end of the day, I will be contacting my bank for a refund due to being DENIED one by the business. However, I do want to put it out there that Pho Cafe has HORRIBLE customer service, I am absolutely appalled. Yes, I agreed to payment, but once found out accomations could not be made, I requested a refund almost within two minutes of my order. I am human, I sometimes think to ask for accommodations after the fact. However, that does not give right for an establishment to refuse proper customer service and any flexibility to refund or even give a credit for once the outbreak is cleared if they CHOOSE to only serve their meals with cilantro and basil and CHOOSE not to accommodate other preferences. Have a nice day everyone, Pho Cafe lost AT LEAST ONE customer today. What a shame.

It's sort of Italian and sort of steak and sort of a little bit of everything. Really clean, strait forward , reasonable menu, nice ambience. It feels kind of high end but the pricing is definitely mid range. I selected the tomato basil soup as my appetizer. It came with a nice toasted crustini. It was a really good soup. It tasted fresh. It had a lot of body to it like, maybe they did the tomatoes here in the house from fresh. It was definitely tomato. The basil was kind in the background, but it was a true red sauce. It was almost tomato paste or tomato sauce flavor. I would've not complained if they given it to me over a bit of penne.. It had a really nice flavor on it not too sweet not too acidic really a very good soup. It came out in a footed coffee cup so you're getting about one cup of soup. The main course was the broiled seafood platter. It was anchored by a large piece of mahi-mahi, that was amazingly well prepared, firm and tasty. To the side of that was a wonderful crabcake, one of the best I've had anywhere and definitely the best in the Carolinas. It did not have too much breading and it had a wonderful texture with lots of good crab flavor. Drizzled across all of this were scallops and shrimp. The shrimp were a little overcooked if you asked me. The scallops were sweet and perfect and everything you would want them to be. The side that comes with this is their crab fries which essentially our beer battered french fries dusted with old bay seasoning. If you've ever had the crab fries at the Philadelphia, ballpark, this is the way they do it. For dessert, I ordered the lemon cello mascarpone cake. It comes drizzled with raspberry sauce. I had visions of lemon curd, and what I got was really good and really lemonade and good cake. But it's not a very big slice. I know about the weight staff. I don't know if they're all good, but mine was exceptional and lovely to talk with. The place was very busy. It had a nice vibe to it, it could've been in South Beach or Miami or Los Angeles, not that it was over over the top just that it was very clean and nice and well done. This is a professional restaurant not some amateur attempt. I recommend it.

You can customize the orders easily and add extra protein to the mac & cheese. At the restaurant, there are two separate door entrances (close to each other), one for ordering and the other one for pickup. It was nice they had a pick up station with my food, packed in a brown bag, ready to go. (I was about six minutes late for my pick up time). The food was steaming hot in the to-go containers. The macaroni and cheese was very good, cheesy, addicting. It's worth it to get a regular size. The Japanese noodles were okay. The steak was tender, udon noodles were chewy and not overcooked, and broccoli was al dente. They have their own spicy seasoning made with Cayenne pepper bottled in a plastic container. Didn't see any to go containers to put that in, but they do have to go Sriracha packets as well as soy sauce.
