Food is always solid and appreciate how it's cooked with health in mind. It's a bit expensive for Chinese food but that's because of the quality ingredients. Most people do take out but it's actually a nice place to sit. Service is very good. read more

We celebrated my mother's birthday with lunch here last week. No one was in there. On our way to our table we noticed our shoes were sticking on the floor. Once seated at our table, a thick rubbery table cloth pressed into our laps. It was hard to sit correctly. The table cloths were way too big. The lunch specials looked good. The four of us all tried something different. We ordered sesame and fire cracking chicken, dumplings and green beans. The soups were delicious.! We were disappointed with the chicken dishes. It was all breading, no chicken, just fried scraps. The green beans were soggy, not crisp. We complained to the waitress. She said sometimes stuff happens. We won't return there ever again. read more

My amazing fiancé and I came here for dinner one evening. I was craving dim sum, so this is where we needed to go. We had the double steamer which has lots of yummy dim sum items, the crystal dumplings, the scallion pancakes, and an order or general Tsao Chicken. Everything was fresh and delicious and hit the spot. Our server was super nice and friendly and checked on us often. read more

My how things have changed-returned after not eating there in seven years. Wife and I had lunch special. General Tso chicken was gummy and questionable chicken cut. Beef and Broccoli was also a weird chewy gummy part of beef. Salad side was smattering of iceberg lettuce with watermelon pieces, almond and carrot slivers and a ginger dressing. Even the brown and white rice were subpar. Service was excellent-but doubt we will return. Maybe an off day judging by the other positive reviews? read more

Very good Chinese food in a setting with nice ambiance, good service and it's in a convenient location. I especially liked their Duck dish.

Excellent quality and plenty of selections. The wait staff was knowledgeable and very courteous. Highly recommend

Great family run place serving up authentic cuisine. Place is always immaculate and service is always well informed of the menu and friendly . read more

Four of us dined here last night (25 January 2025). I ate here once before for lunch, but never wrote a review. I don't even remember what I had. The place was full, but we had reservations. The interior had a nice Asian vibe. There's a separate room with low tables. Jalyn was our waitress. She was very nice and quite professional at her job. The menu has a good variety of dishes to choose from. Jalyn brought us each a small plate of edamame and picked carrots/cucumbers. That was a nice start to our meal. My husband and I ordered the shrimp with Chinese chives pot stickers (quantity of six), which came with a dipping sauce (probably soy sauce rice vinegar, sesame oil, etc) and a hot chili sauce. They were excellent!! My friends ordered the spring rolls, which they really enjoyed. For my entrée, I had the firecracker chicken along with brown rice. This came with celery, carrots, baby corn, straw mushroom and water chestnuts in a Sichuan red chili pepper sauce. The chicken pieces were breaded and stir-fried. My husband had the Sichuan eggplant dish, (with brown rice) which included onions and scallions. He added pork, but felt there was very little of it in the dish. He also stated it was not spicy at all. Our friends had the General Tso's chicken and one of the pork dishes. The entrée portions for all four dishes were huge! We had leftovers. Overall a very good place for Chinese food. We'll be back. I want to try some of the dim sum and other items on the menu. read more

our Wine and Dine group recently visited Double Happiness in Wilmington. there were 21 of us and the restaurant accommodated us with a long table, it was perfect! Mey and her staff were amazing with James (A++) adeptly took orders - his assistant (can't remember her name) got an initiation by fire - it was her first night! a great team! the service was exceptional and we specifically requested James as he provided exceptional service in a prior visit. The food, as always was delicious and very generous portions. If you haven't already visited go soon, they are a hidden gem! read more

Chinese restaurant in the Publix shopping center. I didn't go inside, we ordered to go. I was sharing with the in-laws so we got spring rolls and two kinds of fried rice. Shrimp and veggie fried. We noticed however they did not have traditional eggrolls on the menu, only spring rolls which were small and pricy (2 rolls for $7.00 each and we needed six). For shrimp fried rice they have an add on fee of $5 but they use legit medium sized shrimp in the rice ( about 5-6 shrimp). The veggie fried was my favorite as it was full of broccoli, onions, carrots, snow peas, baby corn, spinach ( or might have been bok Choy). Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures but overall solid Chinese food, just. A hair on the pricey side. read more

This is a solid, local staple for Wilmington. This is a great option if you want an upgraded version of classic and traditional Chinese fare that is not in a sad strip mall or hole in the wall. And it's clearly run by a family which is a great sign. They serve their food exactly as it should be, with the sauces and additional accompaniments. read more

Love this place. The wait staff is composed of hardworking UNCW college students. The food is always top shelf. I recently ordered take out and it was superb. Pleasant surroundings for dining. You get plenty of food for the money. read more

This place has a great reputation so I went and got some pork rolls and steamed dumplings. The pork rolls had very little filling and not much taste. The steamed dumplings were the same as everywhere else but the dipping sauce was very good. I am assuming I just went on a bad night but not worth what I paid. The place was very nice and the service was excellent read more

Double sadness on this visit! Took my son for his first time at DH but they sat us at a table and we waited over 20 minutes and nobody ever came to take our order. What's worse is there were only 2 other tables eating. As we walked out all of the staff was at the front bar area talking or on their phones. Very disappointed read more

Delicious food and very courteous service. Fun alternative to southern menus and very tasty!

Everything is always perfect! We had dim sum, hot and sozr soup mandarin chicken and sesame chicken. Everything was hot freah and tasty.

Food is okay just not what we are used to. Clams with black bean sauce was good using Manila clams. Tasty but small making them hard to eat. Many broken and some not opened. Crispy duck was good although a little dry and quite expensive at $30. read more

I patronized this restaurant largely because it was open. The somewhat limited Wilmington food scene has an awful lot of restaurants that close early or aren't open on Sunday, so this place's hours are an asset. They offer a bit more interesting menu options that the baseline for Chinese, and do mark options vegetarian. There aren't any great number of these, but you can certainly get a good meal here. I was pleased with the option for loose leaf green tea. I added a scallion pancake which had the scallions baked in and fresh ones sprinkled on top, as well as in the tasty dipping sauce on the side. Lettuce wraps came with a delightful stir-fried vegetables mix. My ma po tofu, while appealing, was not all that spicy. I remember the dish I ordered at their other location having a bit more burn so that was a head-scratcher. Still, while something short of great, it was good and fresh and I was satisfied with plenty of leftovers read more

My wife and I stopped by due to the good reviews, that been said the food was tasteless and seemingly not fresh, vegetables tasted like they were canned, and they main dishes themselves were probably previously frozen. To a point I can understand this if they were at least seasoned correctly....never again. read more

This is one of our go-to places for lunch during the work week! And you always leave twice as happy. They have a lunch menu which comes with your choice of an app and entree for usually under $12. And it's just the perfect amount of food for the price. I usually get their spring rolls but today I tried the house salad which had watermelon and almonds on top with a ginger vinaigrette - too much dressing but very good. I also got the chicken and broccoli which has a tasty light brown sauce. The service is always great and fast which is nice for a sit down lunch when you need to go back to work. read more

Great service, great food. Went on a Wednesday evening and had the place to ourselves. Jenny was a fantastic server.

This Chinese restaurant seems overpriced and overrated. I had a very disappointing dining experience here. I had egg drop soup, a house salad, a pork dumpling, the Beef & Broccoli entree, and coconut cake for dessert. The egg drop soup and the pork dumpling were both pretty good but everything else was underwhelming to say the least. The house salad was watery and basic; cucumbers, onions, and iceberg lettuce with an odd dressing, not the creamy ginger dressing that most Asian restaurants serve. My beef and broccoli entree was just bad all around. I should have snapped a picture because the whole thing was swimming in so much watery sauce that the sauce nearly overflowed the plate. It was like a stew. The meat and the broccoli were both so bland and flavorless that it tasted as if they had been boiled in water instead of stir-fried. The coconut cake was not good either. Most Asian restaurants serve a standard coconut cake that is usually delicious. The cake from Double Happiness was not that kind of coconut cake. It was dry and overly sweet, especially the frosting. It tasted like the kind of cake you get off the sale shelf at a grocery store. I was dining with guests this evening and I did not want to send the food back or bring any attention to the situation, so I just ate a portion of my meal and then left. I did make a call to the restaurant when I got home. I left a message for management, so it will be interesting to hear what they have to say. Also, try to avoid sitting at the booths because the ones we sat in were spaced way too far from the table. We all had to sit on the very edge of our seats to reach our food. read more

Great service. Clean and nice decorated decor. Had a delicious meal of dry-wok chicken.

Food is as authentic Chinese that you can find in Wilmington. Food Selection is far superior to others in the area. Nice restaurant seating, not too fancy, but fancy enough a pleasant dining experience. Our waitress was very attentive, very pleasant and respectful of our privacy. read more

I love this place. I lived in Boston for ten years and worked at Tufts in Chinatown for two years, dim sum was my absolute favorite thing to do. Ever since leaving Boston, I crave dim sum. While Double Happiness doesn't serve a traditional Dim Sum, what they do serve is well done and authentic. The service is fantastic! The first time, I bought my toddler who spent most of her time under the table, they accommodated even her with a smile and love. The next time they remembered my toddler and added a plain rice to my take home bag for her! The ambiance is nice, it's a great place to meet friends to eat and gab! The peach dumplings are yummy and adorable. read more

First time to order from this restaurant, I placed an order for 3 half of a duck came with side of veggies. Total order $91.00. A rip off when received the order which was placed in a small size container. Portions for the amount in on small container was deceiving and not worth paying the price. Being new to this area and to this restaurant will not recommend spending money to dine at double happiness. read more

Double Happiness Restaurant - This portion alone cost $30 not worth it, highly not recommending this establishment. - Dim Sum Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

So I checked YELP to find this place near the Air BnB I was staying at, I Was greeted and Served by Jack, he was very friendly and accomidating. The place was not busy at all in fact it was just me and a local who was very friendly and we talked while we waited for our food to come out. I had Orange Peel Chicken and Dumplings and man some of the best Chinese food I have ever had, Fresh, Hot and full of flavor. I Will Definitely be back to this place if I am in back in town for business and even if you are local and like Chinese food, Yes it cost you a little more but great portions and taste. Check it out. read more

I get "to go" from this place a few times a month. Everything tastes good and fresh. My favorite dishes are those with ginger like the ginger chicken. Yummy! I've never eaten at the restaurant. This is a top delivery Asian food. The spring rolls are also delicious and fresh. read more

We ordered food and spent over 100 dollars. Unfortunately the food is not as good as it used to be. I had to return one of the entrees and ask for it to be remade. The server was kind and remade the dish, but the meal was still missing the quality taste and flavor that this restaurant used to be known for. read more

Great food!! Best Chinese food in this area by far! The restaurant has an amazing atmosphere, great date night spot

Great spot for some guilt-free chinese food. They have many lunch special options and their food doesn't have the heavy/oily/MSG taste that many Chinese restaurants have, not sure if actually "healthier" but quality is better than chopsticks or similar. read more

Double happiness Chinese restaurant left two people, doubly disappointed, in both selection, service, and price. Let's begin. It's decorated in the typical old traditional Chinese restaurant style and has a lot of seating in their dining area. We were seated quickly and ordered drinks with a pot of tea. We started with the tofu vegetable lettuce wraps, the vegetable steamed dumplings, and the spring roll. We liked all three, but thought the tofu vegetable wraps were lacking something in terms of flavor and taste. My wife was disappointed that they don't serve chow mein, so she ordered shrimp lo mein, and I had the wide noodle with shrimp. Both tasted good and fresh. The portions are big. The shrimp were big and meaty. Our server became less present as the meal progressed. It got annoying when I needed a straw, a napkin, a plate, a soda refill, more tea, soy sauce, the check. Every time, I had to get her attention by flagging her down or she would walk past our table, without even stopping by to check on us. Even though the place wasn't busy with customers, our blonde haired waitress was overwhelmed and very inattentive to our needs as diners. By the end of the meal I was tired of having to get her attention for anything. The topper was when we found out that the only dessert they had left was ice cream and nothing else. We left feeling dissatisfied and went to insomnia cookies for our dessert. Without dessert the meal came to $80 before tip. That's a lot for a Chinese meal. We're gonna keep looking for another Chinese restaurant in the area. We were not happy with double happiness. read more

Very disappointed. There were no noodles and duck sauce for the table. Even the Mexican restaurants still offer chips and salsa when you arrive. The portions were for four people! I do not like to take home restaurant food.Prices were higher than last time to cover the large portions. Suggest sharing a dinner. read more

Such a nice place with authentic Chinese food. We sat in the traditional seating with pillow cushions for chairs. This was such a unique experience and all the food was delicious. Everything was priced fairly, the total of my 4 items (not the orange chicken) was only $17. We also tried the Fuji apple sake, it was sweet like candy. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Today I had the red curry for the first time. It was unbelievably good. Perfect. For $10.00 I got a delicious egg drop with spinach soup, brown rice and red curry with chicken. I could not be more happy. I asked for it spicy and it sure was. I feel so pleasantly full right now and you should try this if you are a curry fan. read more
