    Massaman curry with beef
    Emily J.

    A friend and I ended up randomly stopping here for dinner one night. The restaurant is located in the Mayfaire area in what looks like an upscale strip mall. When you go in, the takeout counter is right in front of you. While I was waiting for my friend, at least 10 people came in to grab takeout orders, which made me feel really positive about the food. We were sat promptly and had the full attention of the staff because the restaurant wasn't very full at that hour. We both decided on the massaman curry, mine with beef, her's with tofu. The waiter assured us it wasn't spicy unless we wanted it spicy, but mine, at the lowest wimp level, was absolutely spicy which is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. It was delicious, but my nose was running within the first few bites. We both ordered Thai iced teas to try to cool down the burning in our mouths. The restaurant is very clean and nice, the staff is great, and the food is very tasty. I just will stick to things like pad thai next time to make sure that my version of wimp isn't overwhelmed.

    Food is fire, great service we actually called ahead saying we were in a rush and asked if they could prepare our food ahead of time and they did. It was set up all cute on the table when we arrived covered to keep warm. restaurant itself has a very cute vibe to it too. Did I mention the food was awesome?

    Tofu Curry soup and wine

    I am stuffed from lunch! Big Thai has a nice lunch special menu with eight selections (in addition to their regular lunch menu). I selected the Chicken Noodle Bowl with steamed noodles, vegetables, and bean sprouts in a peanut curry sauce. Instead of the salad with ginger sauce, I opted for the tofu coconut soup. I also ordered the vegetable spring rolls for an appetizer (although after getting my entrée, I should have skipped the rolls). I was quite surprised to get four of them, rather than the usual two that other restaurants typically serve. Starting with the tofu coconut soup: Not overly thick in the sauce, but light and pleasant with the flavors of coconut, cilantro, and lemon. The spring rolls were crunchy and very hot on the inside. I do prefer a springroll with pork, but they were fine. I saved two to bring home. The noodle bowl came out. I was shocked at the size of the bowl and I wasn't expecting it to be a soup dish. It could feed four people! Well, the noodles and soup part. The chicken was plenty for one person. I loved the flavors of the peanut curry sauce and along with the thinly sliced ginger, but it was a little too sweet for me. The menu stated "vegetables" but there were none that I could find. This dish definitely needs vegetables, such as broccoli, red bell peppers, and carrots. It was mostly noodles, which I liked, and the chicken was tender. The bean sprouts were hard to locate. But overall, a very tasty and filling dish. I had plenty to bring home for leftovers. Service by the young waitress, Songsaeng, was first-class. I do recommend this place for anyone that likes Thai food. For me, I'll skip the sweet dishes and stick to savory.

    First time here and the food, service, and atmosphere was great! There is a comfort food appeal, like a Thai grandmother was in the kitchen - delicious, heart warming, generous portions with authentic Thai flavors. We tried the fried calamari, coconut soup, papaya salad (a favorite), drunken noodles and ground pork feature - all delicious! Will definitely return!

    I got delivery from here while house sitting one weekend. The food arrived hot which I so appreciate. The sauce for the crab rangoons was tangy and delicious! The serving size of my pad see yew was great. I had to take a break and come back to it again later. Highly suggest!

    Pad Thai

    Delicious Thai Food. I ordered Pad Thai and for the lunch portion, it was a lot. The waitress is always nice and pleasant. Great prices too especially everything is so expensive now a days.

    Menu

    Great service and good. Recommend the masa man curry and coconut soup. I'd try the red curry next time.

    Nothing about this tastes like Thai. It all looks like it came out of a can. Sad. Way over priced.

It's in Porter's Neck near Italian Bistro. There's some parking in front and a ton out back. We decided to eat inside because it was hinting at rain, but there's a cute patio that would be great if the weather was good. Our server, Samantha, was seriously the best! She was friendly, funny, honest, and super approachable. We never felt rushed in any way, and she checked on us just the right amount of times. I decided to try the pad thai as a baseline- definitely passed the test. I had it with shrimp and there were so many shrimp in the dish! It was huge, and the leftovers tasted great the next day. I also love love sushi so I decided to also try the caterpillar roll and the cherry blossom roll. Both were fresh and delicious! One of my friends loves spicy food. Samantha tried to warn her about the spice levels, and my friend determined she wanted what the owners would consider spicy. Samantha then also brought her a tray of additional spicy things. My friend was ecstatic! She added so much more to her food to the point that normal humans would need an ambulance and loved every single bite. Definitely recommend, and I'll definitely be back to try other menu items and enjoy the patio.

The waitstaff truly were not certain and the manager was not too friendly. The tune was warm in my sushi which was definitely strange! The waitress never came to check in until we were done. It's another fast food restaurant attempting to look like fine dining/fusion. The staff needs to smile and learn to be friendly. Please get to know ALL of the ingredients in your restaurant. Please use real Kiikkoman in your bottles versus the generic ingredients. The light soy sauce tasted very brothy. Dive deeper into Wilmington for good Asian/Thai/Vietnamese!!!!
