Cafe Chinois - Wilmington, NC

Food, service, and atmosphere were great! Pike, our server, was very friendly and was able to answer any question we had. Food was tasty, the portions were big, and they have a good amount of options for vegetarians. The Thai iced tea was excellent! We will definitely be back :)

It’s so beautiful here, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is so nice (great music); however, our waiter, Hailey is the main reason I wanted to leave a review. I hadn’t even tried the food yet and was already planning to leave a review because of Hailey. All of her food suggestions were spot on and I’m so grateful. She is very knowledgeable about their beautiful menu and was so warm and helpful. Her service made the food that much better. We got the Massaman Curry & the Viet Bun Tau Xao Rau. 5 stars to it all. And it seems like you can’t go wrong with anything on this menu. Thank you, Hailey! We will be regulars here because of you!

I like the decor and cool atmosphere! Great food and I had good service. Hailey is fantastic!

Love everything about this place

The Panang curry was creamy and spicy. Thai fried rice was equally delicious, with the perfect balance of spices and thai tea was one of the best with full of flavor( but quantity is less).
Papaya salad is also good.

Overall, the food was excellent, and I would highly recommend this place for anyone craving Thai cuisine.

Cute place, great food and servers. They offer gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, beef, chicken and sea food options.

Always good! Fantastic service.

We were visiting Wilmington over Thanksgiving from the Lowcountry of South Carolina and decided to have dinner at Cafe Chinois after reading their menu online. Wow, were we pleased in every way. Excellent server, Pike, who was so helpful explaining many of the dinner choices, lovely atmosphere, and delicious food plus needed to go boxes. We had yellow curry with fried tofu and massaman curry with fried tofu. Both were wonderful!! Highly recommend Cafe Chinois, wish we had such a great restaurant near our home.

Vegetarian options: We both had fried tofu and it was firm and fried very nicely.

Parking: Parked in lot directly in front of the restaurant, it’s in a strip mall.

My family and I came here to enjoy lunch before we went to see a movie. The atmosphere of the restaurant when we walked in was lovely, and we were greeted when we walked in. I had a very hard time choosing what to eat, there were so many great options on the menu. I got a Thai green curry and it was DELICIOUS. Can't wait to visit my family again so I can come back here. Highly recommend!

Shout to our server with the red beard, great customer service!

Cafe Chinois serves delicious Vietnamese food and the best part is they are open all throughout the day, so you can go in around 2p or 3p and have a peaceful lunch with a glass of Pierre Sparr cremant. Great for locals and tourist alike.

I have been to Cafe Chinois several time and it is always a wonderful experience. The food is flavorful and inspired, clearly communicating its intention of fusion fare. They are conscious of the fine details and the servers go above beyond to ensure everyone is happy within your visiting group. I have on one visit also had the opportunity to interact with the manager who was enthusiastic to have conversation and inform me more about the lovely art that is showcased in the restaurant. For anyone who enjoys museums, this is a perfect setting to enjoy a meal and make memories.

Popped in for lunch at 1:30 and had a terrific meal. The portions were appropriate and nothing to bring home but that’s okay. Loved the jasmine tea also. Loved the Ginger Chicken so fresh and tasty. Good job to everyone!!
