More meat included in the dish would be great . A few pieces of meat and bowl full of onions just doesn't cut it . read more

I don't think I will be ordering from here again. Ordered the same thing that I ordered a few years ago and it was the same as it was last time. The spring roll wasn't good and the hot and sour soup tasted burnt to the point I couldn't even eat it. The crispy noodles were not even good read more

Wow, has this place gone down. No one here at lunch and the phone is dead quiet. The cashier is also the cook. Food is too salty and disgusting. Won't be back. read more

Food was lukewarm and tasted off. Wonton soup wontons were rancid or something yuck. This place used to be decent. I will not be back

Their chicken wings were fried extra crispy and the rice was seasoned well and the price was reasonable.

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. read more

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. read more

Uncle Lim's Kitchen - The soup of soups! - Vegetarian Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

First time visiting this place. The last at the counter was not very friendly. I got takeout and got home only to thrown my meal away. It smelled of vomit. So disgusting. Will not be returning. read more

This is by far one of the best Asian restaurants in Wilmington. The food is fresh and delicious, most of it is made fresh in house. The family there is amazing. Singapore Maifun is my favorite. read more

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. read more

Uncle Lim's Kitchen - V11. General Tso's Tofu - Vegetarian Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

Invited my MIL over for Chinese food and celebrate year of Dragon a day late but it's the whole year lol. Everyplace we normally order from was closed! Super Bowl? Anyway, I've been to uncle Lim's a few years ago and enjoyed it but it was a a bit further than we usually go for take out but when MIL is upstairs playing with kid, expecting Chinese... you drive the distance. We ordered typical Chinese takeout. everyone was satisfied but I want to come back and try a few of the Malaysian dishes. The guy who took my order and gave me my food was friendly and nice to talk to. The dumplings were really good! read more

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! read more

Best little Chinese food place in Wilmington. Always a go to. Quick, easy, relatively cheap, and so good. And they are super nice

Ordered dinner from Uncle Lim's for the first time last evening, in an ongoing effort to try and nail some great Chinese takeout. I think we may have found the leader in Wilmington now. Not only was the food incredibly fresh, it tasted clean! Best part of this experience is that you can place a phone call directly to Uncle Lim's Kitchen and order delivery, bypassing the expenses of 3rd party fees, only paying a $2.99 total delivery fee. FOOD: Roast Pork with Mushroom (spicy) entree with fried rice; Beef w/ broccoli and white rice; Order of 6 crab rangoon; 2 egg rolls. The egg rolls were hot and fresh as expected. Size was adequate and the flavor was on par with many others I've tried. They don't really give you that "Wow" factor to set themselves apart but they were prepared and fried well. The crab rangoon appetizer had a wonderful flavor and also cooked well. However, after trying many others in Wilmington, these had moderate filling rather than a generous, plump pocket, bursting at the folds. My wife loved her beef and broccoli with steamed rice. When I asked her what she thought overall, she stated that it was so fresh with tender beef, crisp broccoli and an overall "clean" taste / finish to the palate. After I opened my container of spicy pork with mushrooms, I instantly noticed something very different compared to other Asian takeout places...these ingredients look like they are prime ingredients, fresh out of the wok and no preservatives. After tasting the entree with fried rice, my wife was correct...it tasted like, and may very well have been, "clean" food with clean ingredients. I'm impressed. Uncle Lim...thank you. This is the type of fast asian food I have been looking for. Not too much oil, no MSG, light and fresh ingredients. SCORE: 3.9 STARS!! SERVICE: I called Uncle Lim's directly just to see if I may luck out with direct delivery. I did. No service fees, third party charges...just that $2.99 tack-on. I'm good with that. The gentleman on the phone was friendly, efficient and very easy to communicate with. My order was placed after he stated the time and delivery fee (full disclosure is always a plus). This was easy, pleasant and no hassle. SCORE: 5 STARS!! OVERALL SCORE: I think I may have found my favorite (overall) place to have asian cuisine delivered. The flavors are great, portions met expectations and all of the food was prepared flawlessly. The egg roll and rangoon flavors are there and they were cooked great...but just don't expect to remember them as supreme, Far East morsels. 4.4 STARS!! read more

I love this place. Great food at very reasonable price. what i love about Uncle Lim's is the freshness of the vegetables they use. nothing over cook and taste fresh and clean. this is from an old vegetarian - we just had the green curry chi ken - it was great. Also, great family restaurant family recipes! They take prided in the food they serve, which is very hard to come by today. I give them 5 stars! read more

Alright place, I would go again but the people working were hilariously rude to the customers. Raising their voice at them and what not, I didn't mind it though and it was a new place to try. read more

We are vegan so all of our food was off of that side of the menu. I had the coconut curry and although it was really good, it was really overpriced for what you got. My husband had the firecracker dish and he said it was just okay, that mine was better. The boys had noodles and the ribs- they had no complaints. Overall assessment was the food is good and fresh but overpriced for what you actually get. read more

Can't find a dish I like, and I've tried many. Looks nice on the outside even nice...One Star because I did not get sick.

I ordered the pork steamed dumplings and pork fried rice. They were very quick!I was on my lunch break. I did appreciate that. You have to order outside of the business they will not let you in because of covid. The people are very nice. Unfortunately, it was so greasy the dumplings were not fresh and when I bit into them oily juice was spilling out of it. That is very disappointing.The pork fried rice was pretty good but it was pretty greasy. I will not be going there again and I cannot recommend this place. was too late to say anything because I was on a very short lunch break I only have 30 minutes and I didn't have time to go back and complain. My dining experience was not a good one. read more

I dont know what happened to this place, which uaed to be terrific a few years ago, but the most recent carry out I picked up after a year (even THAT wasnt great)...it was dreadful. The spring roll was too spicy and the curry dish had very little curry.... So disappointing. Covid killed this place. Wont be back. read more

My favorites are the steamed dumplings. Delicate wrappers, nicely done. I've also enjoyed their sesame chicken and egg foo young. read more

Ordered spare ribs. Almost $12 and I got 4 small ribs. Really should be 6-8 at that price at least. Asked for soy sauce and got none. Asked for "a ton of hot mustard, as much hot mustard as you can spare" and got 2 packets. read more

My boyfriend and I love this place! Every time we decide on Chinese for dinner this is our go to and we usually try at least one new thing because they're menu is so vast. And the dumplings!! read more

When trying out a new place I typically order a basic dish for their genre of food. If they serve that well, then I begin to be adventurous in my selections. I ordered simple fried rice and a low mein dishes. Be forewarned, communicating over the phone is a bit difficult. The food we received was relatively tasteless. I would put it on a par with Panda Express. The volume of food received was too little for the price charged. If you are looking for good Asian food in Wilmington, this is not the place. If you want "McAsian" fast-food, this is a good choice but a bit pricey. read more

Best Chinese and vegetarian options. Ribs weren't really ribs like I had in nyc though.

Not too impressive of a building , but the food is DELICIOUS. Definitely my favorite Chinese joint in proper Wilmington. The half moon dumplings and chow fun are amazing and so flavorful. Instantly became my new favorite Chinese delivery! read more

Not to my taste, but my guess if I ate there often enough I would find a few things that might become favorites, but with other choices in the area I'm not going to invest the time and $. The Egg Rolls were big and fried perfectly but my boneless spareribs were so sugared that I tried to wash them off to make them eatable. read more

This was my first time ordering from Uncle Lims. I was disappointed in the General Taos chicken . Small pieces that were dry and not tender at all. I don't see myself ordering from there again. read more

I like this place. My girlfriend is vegan and she found a lot of helpful options at this restaurant. I really like the guy who delivers. Really nice fella. The only negative I would say is there is a communication barrier, at times. Also, there is a $40 spending requirement to deliver to Myrtle Grove. But, that's not really their fault. They have to make smart, efficient decisions for their business. All in all, great food and great service. read more

Disappointed again in Chinese food in Wilmington. Egg foo young came out of container as a pile of mess. Looked more like fried rice. Egg rolls were mediocre at best. We are giving up read more

Recently moved to the area, I have been looking for a go-to Sunday night Chinese restaurant. Based off of other yelp reviews, I decided to choose this one. They are always relatively fast and each time I have ordered, the food has had the same consistency/quality/quantity. The only thing I have ordered (multiple times) is their chicken and broccoli with vegetable fried rice and either an egg or vegetable spring roll. The chicken was similar to previous Chinese take-out restaurants that I have been to (kind of rubbery, tbh it grosses me out to the point of where I can only eat it sometimes). Their rice is a little flavorful, but nothing to brag about. However, they do have a really really good spring roll if you are in the mood for one of those. The egg roll isn't bad per-se, however, it is very very very very greasy (which is somewhat expected). They have a huge range of soups. I've gotten the egg drop soup before and it honestly didn't have any real flavor at all (no matter how much I got my hopes up to try to imagine that it did). I haven't tried any of the other soups though. You do get a very large portion for a very good price (which is something I look for in restaurants). I rated this a 3/5 mainly because it really isn't much to brag about. I got my hopes up going here after all of the 5-star reviews, but really it only deserves a 3. The staff are really nice and I do still come back here whenever I am in the mood for late-night take out, however just know that it isn't going to be SUPER amazing but it will definitely do the trick!! read more

I love that most (if not all) meat dishes can be substituted with vegetarian meat. Their food is made quick and has some pretty good flavor for a Chinese restaurant. Good portions for the price! Definitely a recommend in my book! read more

Pretty solid Chinese food. Or maybe it's easier to say South eastern Asian food based around many Chinese dishes that Americans are familiar with. They're the only show in town that I found that has chow fun noodles. Staff is super friendly, service is quick and the food is good. I'm a pretty tough critic on places like this normally, but overall, I'm pretty happy with the place. They locked me in as a customer. Will I say it's the best Asian cuisine I ever had? No. It's impossible in this region to say that. In my opinion, the best Chinese food is in New York, San Fran, or of course, in Asia. But since we're here in Wilmington and not the other places I just mentioned, it's perfectly fine. I recommend it. read more

When you need that Chinese food fix, this is good and quick. This place works out perfectly. COVID control food transfer was handled well, as always, a confidence booster when picking up meals to go. Ordered pickup through grub hub based on ordering ease, should have just looked at the menu and called it in to possibly save the restaurant some impact with their charges. read more

Very lengthy order and didn't miss a thing! Food was delicious and delivered hot!!!!

Good portions for a reasonable price. The Shrimp Fried Rice had fresh and large shrimp (about a dozen) in the small portion size. I will order from them again for sure! read more

Awesome vegan and vegetarian options. Delivery or takeout has always been a win from them.

I like their food, though it's a fairly typical Chinese food restaurant. Didn't disappoint

Read the negative reviews and don't see the big deal. I ordered the food being weary but everything turned out fine. I got the beef and broccoli because one review said the beef and garlic was the only saving factor. The beef was tender, sauce was good and not overly salty(which I can tell because I have a heart issue so any high salt content sends my heart rate skyrocketing) the egg roll was to be expected and the vegetable fried rice was better than most Chinese restaurants. Also I tried the pork dim sum as it was recommended by reviews and it was perfect. Not sure if the bad reviews are old and it's now new management but what I experienced was everything I wanted. Delivery driver was also 15 minutes early and very friendly. Recent update. Phone service was extremely rude. And when asked about menu items that were on the menu stated it was Asian Not American socthey wouldn't have certain menu items that they said they Wouldvhave like fries wings or mushrooms read more

This place is not consistent. Had food from the Asian section two weeks ago and it was delicious. Had the same menu item yesterday and it was horrible. It's seems you spin the taste and quality wheel every time you go in. I'm done with this place. I expect quality all the time. Don't recommend this place. read more
