    The soup of soups!
    Nancy P.

    Just ordered dinner from Uncle Lim's. This review is specifically for the Red Curry Noodle Soup. This is the perfect soup for a cold winters night. I had half a lime leftover from a Moscow mule I made and squeezed that on top and the soup was perfect. Some heat, some sweet, with a not too thick or rich curry base. The soup has noodles, eggplant, chicken, and some greens. It was so flavorful, I used my chopsticks and then drank the broth! The take out container is enough for at least two servings. I always liked Uncle Lims but this soup is amazing. It reminded me of the type of Asian food I'd get in DC. Scroll down to the bottom of their menu and order it.

    Always our go to neighborhood Asian restaurant. Best To-Go Asian food in town and we've tried just about everywhere in the first year living in Wilmington. A ton of selection and very nice plentiful portions for the family. Family owned and service is fast and very approachable and nice.

    Best quality Americanized Asian style food around. I've now tried a few of their different dishes and all are well executed. Even my toddler will indulge with me. Their sauces don't taste like chemicals which I appreciate. A great place for vegans as they have many options that can be ordered straight from the menu. I love supporting this family business even seeing small children at play there from time to time (they've always been sweet to my little girl). There is no language barrier and it's nice to sometimes have a casual chat with whoever is checking out my order. The dining area is clean and there is plenty of seating, though we've only ever had takeout.

    Undercooked egg roll

    I'm not sure how the reviews are so high here. My curry was mostly onions and the consistency was super weird (felt slimy). I asked for Thai hot but this was the blandest I've ever had (I put hot sauce on it that I had at home). The egg roll wasn't cooked all the way so it tasted doughy. The fried rice was meh as well. Super bummed and now I'm making myself something to eat at home after paying $80 for 3 meals (with tip and delivery). I'll stick with Indochine, chinos, or chow Thai!

    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.

    My husband and I were starving after work one night and ordered Doordash from this location. 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.
