    The sesame chicken was awful. Fried rice - decent. The food experience would have gotten two stars but no fortune cookie? What?! One star

This selection was more than awesome and I give this dish a five-star rating without equivocation. My friends had other dishes, one the soft shell crab, and were equally pleased. The food is authentic thai with a rather large menu. The service was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive. If you like Thai food this is the best in town, in my opinion, and I would recommend giving them a try. You will not be disappointed.

The restaurant looks recently updated with touches that make you feel like you have been to Thailand. The kitchen has an open appearance which inspires a lot of trust. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in the door. We felt welcome. The owner and manager came out to ask us about our meal and offered great suggestions based on their signature dishes. The food was incredible. I had several appetizers. The catfish curry was a unique dish, served in a unique bowl, and one I would for sure travel back to get again. This restaurant is a must for both locals and visitors.

    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.

She accidentally spilled her soup and immediately helped clean it up instead of just leaving a mess. She was very respectful through the entire situation. When she asked if she could get another one remade for free or at least discounted because it was an accident, the manager immediately had an attitude and basically told her it was her fault so she had to pay for another one. Just a reminder that accidents happen. The issue isn't even the soup at that point, it's the lack of understanding and customer service. I also want to give Alexis credit because she handled the situation with respect and kindness the entire time, rushed to help clean up, treated the customer well, and actually tried to help her out. Alexis handled the situation way better than management did. Despite it all, the food was delicious!
