STILL 5 stars after several years. Zero drop in quality or service. Many places start "phoning it in" or customers experience "familiarity breeds contempt" after a few years of being open or seeing that you are a regular but in the case on Lim's, this has never happened. We still get the perfect food EVERY time served with a smile and a welcoming feeling. read more

Horrible place. Don't order any food from these people. They are dirty rude and can't get a order straight. I've tried them 3 times. Had to just throw out the food. Never again. read more

BEST faux meats. Soooo delicious. The staff has always been so great, however a lot of the newer people they've hired are rude and have bad attitudes. Their food is definitely worth the slightly high prices. They will replace the meat with soy in any dish - don't feel restricted to their (already large) veg friendly menu. read more

First time here, pretty satisfied. Only took 15 minutes at 7:30 on a Thursday night. Sesame chicken is extra saucey with good flavor and the chicken is juicy (when compared to other sesame chickens that are crunchy). Staff were friendly. The fried rice wasn't that great though, I rather it of been white rice that was fried on a grill than yellow rice (also the peas in it were a overcooked. The egg roll did not have much flavor and the fried wonton was a little thick/hard/chewy. I ate the rice and egg roll with soy and duck sauce which made them better. The lo mein had a good flavor with a lot of vegetables (zucchini, baby corn, water chestnuts, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, celery, been sprouts, light mushroom, onion) maybe more.. really impressed. 1 dinner combo sesame (7.99) fried rice egg roll 1 large vegetable lo mein (7.99) Total with tax : $17.10 on February 20th, 2020. Will eat here again! read more

It seems they continue to decrease the amount of chicken and seafood in there entrées so you basically are vegan

The Hunan Pork, eaten by my hubs, was very good and so much that he had leftovers for lunch the same day. Same with my Szechuan Shrimp entree, very good, sauce not too hot, lots of fresh veggies, too much to eat in one session. Although I've had an entree, very occasionally, that they didn't get right the owner has been very understanding and made it right by giving me a credit to use next time I came in. This is exactly how a restaurant should handle food that is less than what a customer was expecting, and I thank them for this. I have been going to Uncle Lim's since it first opened years ago. read more

Went here for take out, ordered the Dragon Phoenix (not on the paper menu now) and Szechuan chicken. Along with crab Rangoon and 2 egg rolls. The egg rolls were decent but slightly dry however a little duck sauce and they were fine. The crab rangoons were very good no complaints. The two main dishes were excellent. I only wish I had 2 more. They were fast and it was very tasty. read more

We have ordered twice from here, both Chinese and Thai food. The food is always delivered quickly and is hot, delicious, and comes in good portion sizes. They are easy to order from on the phone and will help you if you aren't certain on sizes or spiciness of a dish. This will definitely be one of our regular delivery favorites. read more

Pretty good, at least the "hot" dishes actually had heat, unlike EVERY other Chinese place in town. Fried rice was kinda bland and yellow in color...I never understand that, why is fried rice not brown in color. Good value for the money tho, even if they did mess up our order and give us chicken instead of beef. read more

The Malaysian style tofu is incredible! I've never ordered anything else because I never want to miss out.

I absolutely love this place! A hidden gem for sure. The owner is almost always there, greeting customers with a smile on his face! He remembers his customers very well, and one time he gave my mother a piece of cake on the house. Not only is the owner nice, the employees are all extremely friendly. I've never had any problems here with customer service. The food is absolutely amazing. A few favorites are the chicken with garlic sauce, Kung pao chicken, and pepper steak. Their spring rolls are also A1. I come and eat here for lunch all the time and it's always quick and delicious! My family also orders it for takeout a lot. It has become one of my favorite meals/restaurants. read more

First time trying went based off past reviews. Tried garlic beef, general tso, chicken lo mein and crab Rangoons. Everything was delicious I highly recommend customer service was also very good. Will definitely be making this my go to read more

So, we ordered delivery to the hospital we work at. We couldn't be anymore dissatisfied with the service! The manager Liam called us retarded, charged us 3 times the amount, The order was wrong, and the fortune cookies were so stale they didn't even break! They don't have the specials that are on the menu, and they charge you individually, everything priced for a large even when ordering a small!! They refused to fix anything! We will never be ordering from here again, and recommend that you don't either! read more

Uncle Lims redeemed themselves! I've ordered twice since my last experience and have been pleased both times! The coconut chicken soup is amazing! Their General Tso chicken is also on point. Delivery was super fast! read more

Soggy, soggy, soggy! No fresh vegetables, all over cooked and mushy. Taste.like they use rotten, old oil. Ordered from them 3 times due to reviews, but no more! Must be friends or family writing the food reviews. read more

Enjoyed 3 menu items, all delightfully tasty. The fried items were not greasy or heavy. We ate every bite, excited to try other menu choices! My palate was thrilled with the pleasant and complimentary flavors. This is definitely better than typical Asian take away, but also different (in a good way). Our food choices: Thai Massaman Curry with tofu, Kalapur Chicken, and Malaysian Coconut Fried Rice without meat. All wonderful. read more

Not your average Asian takeout. The menu has a ton of unique options not found at "China House" type places. I love the soups! Personally, I think they go way over on the onion to other food ratio, but I'm sure if you asked for less they would accommodate. read more

Really enjoyed the food. Customer service was excellent. The made my family and I feel like family here. The vegetarian food is on point it had lots of great flavor. Highly recommend this place! read more

Food order wrong, missing 1 order. Tried to call & got answering machine. Had to call ordering service to get them to send missing food or refund money. Wouldn't send missing food. read more

I have to admit that I was more than pleasantly surprised with just how awesome the food really was at Uncle Lim's Kitchen. Considering that I am from New Jersey where the Chinese and Asian Food is far superior to Chinese food that you can even get in Hawaii where I lived for a number of years, I will say with all sincerity that I was truly blown away with how excellent the the food is at Uncle Lim's Kitchen! Also too, Lim the owner is a delightful and wonderful man and he was the the person who prepared my food and served me from start to finish. In my eyes, Uncle Lim's is one of the culinary hidden gems in Wilmington that definitely needs to be hurled into the public spotlight and given the attention that this awesome restaurant truly deserves! Uncle Lim's Kitchen gets 5 Stars from me for his culinary excellence and I cannot recommend Lim and his restaurant highly enough! Sincerely, Campbell McArthur Owner / Lead Engineer PC Medics On Call read more

I just moved to the monkey junction area and was looking for a new chinese place that delivered in my area. I am SO happy I came across Uncle Lim's Kitchen! The food was AMAZING (Top 3 favorite Chinese places in wilmington). The man who answered the phone was very polite and took my order easily. (Sometimes I have to repeat myself numerous times when placing phone orders) We ordered the garlic chicken and house lo mein. They said the wait time was about 30-45 minutes. The food came much quicker than that (always makes me happy) and it was to die for! This is definitely one of my new favorite delivery spots! read more

Probably the best Asian takeout I have had in Wilmington. The staff was friendly and the food was excellent. Normally if I order steamed dumplings for take out I expect frozen, at this restaurant they were freshly made and tasted authentic. I will defiantly be back. read more

This restaurant has very friendly staff and great food! I highly recommend anyone to go there. They also have a great variety of dishes on their menu. read more

This was actually really awful. I feel sort of bad for leaving a poor review, but the food ranged from bland to awful. There are 5 of us, and here's a breakdown of our order: 1. Wonton soup - bland, but editable. 2. General Tso's chicken - chicken was very processed and the sauce had no kick 3. Mandarin chicken - this was by far the most upsetting. The chicken was very processed, deep fried and then reheated. It was over cooked and still managed to be chewy. The sauce looks like gravy and tasted like sweet and sour gravy. Honestly, this was gross. 4. Beef with garlic sauce - this was the star of the meal - everything was great 5. Beef and broccoli - good, but could've been more spicy. 6. Egg rolls - might as well have been empty. They tasted like deep fried nothing. I make breakfast all the time. 7. Steamed Vegetable Dumplings - the ones we got were pork, but they were good. 8. Pork fried rice - a little bit bland, but good. The pork was cooked well and not greasy, so kudos for that! We won't be back, but if YOU want to try it, I'd only recommend the beef with garlic sauce. read more

Take out is usually not my choice, however uncle lim's was amazing! Fresh and flavorful ingredients. The grouper curry was to die for and the finger chicken was out of this world! We will definitely be back. The best part is we live right around the corner. read more

Absolutely wonderful customer service! The veggie lo mein is fantastic! This is a great little spot for fast and delicious food! read more

Food was awesome! This place looks like one of the typical "strip mall Chinese" places, but don't let that fool you! The vegetables were fresh not frozen, the vegetarian/vegan menu was as big as the regular menu! I had the soy spare ribs, he had the massaman curry with real chicken, fried veggie dumplings for appetizer. Everything was very good! Highly recommend this place! read more

Usually pretty good. Just had delivery with about 3-5 pieces of meet per dinner portion. Very disappointed. Called to let them know and they said that it was "impossible" for this to happen. Won't eat there again. read more

If you looking for authentic Chinese-Malaysian restaurant... This is the place for it!! Rendang is very tasty especially for a Malaysian style Rendang. Mee Goreng is also good! You have to look into the picture menus for them. read more

Worst I have ever had.. Egg foo young was gooey and reeked of old oil.. Fried rice was flat and lacked flavor.. BBQ ribs were tough as nails.. And covered with sticky sauce that stuck to my fingers. They should be ashamed. The food was so bad I felt obligated to warn others when I normally just say "ok they got me". The five star rating was either rigged or this place hasn't been rated in a while. I threw the food away and I use the word food very lightly. read more

I'm really not that into Chinese food. If it were not for the fact that you can get it delivered, I probably wouldn't eat any at all. However, Uncle Lim's could perhaps change that for me. It's seriously good. Like, "I can't believe I'm eating this out of a takeout place" good. We ordered four dishes thinking we would eat some tonight and have the rest for lunch. But, we polished all four off in short order. One of our favorites was the beef rendang. It's not on the main menu, so you'll have to ask for it. (I read about it in one of these reviews.) If you like Indonesian food, you'll love it. We also liked the spare ribs, happy family and basil chicken we ordered. Recommend! read more

Good delivery option when those cravings hit. Usually doesn't take that long and the food has consistently been good. I like the seafood selections and the soups. I wish they had better noodle selections, but other than that we've enjoyed Uncle Lim's! read more

Better than a typical Asian take-out place & the prices are more than reasonable. Nothing fancy. But if you just want something quick, this is a good option on your way home from work. read more

I am a Chinese Food fanatic. I travel all over the country and world for work. Outside of China itself or other large cites which have Chinatown's. This is hands down the best Chinese food I've ever had.!! read more

Great place for Malaysian food! We had beef rendang, salt and pepper squid, stir fried eggplants, char kuey teow, and roasted duck. My favorite was definitely the char kuey teow. It is the best I have had in NC. The beef rendang was very tender. The eggplant dish was really flavorful as well and I love the basil in the dish. The squid and the duck were just ok. read more

Got the vegetable spring roll, beef lo mein combo, and sweet and sour chicken combo which were all delicious! Lots of flavor especially with the pork rice which is bland at most take out Chinese places. I will definitely be returning! read more

Not fancy but boy was it good! Best Shrimp and Lobster sauce I've had in a really long time. The egg roll gets an A+ too!

Great delivery. Delicious food. Serious foodie over here and this was great Chinese food. Ordered online and was delivered to my door in about 20 min. read more

Very diversified menu, catering to vegetarians and normal foodies. The Phat Thai was delicious and the wonton half moons were covered in a sesame sweet spicy sauce. The 8 wontons were more than enough with a side of edamame. My first experience at this restaurant and it won't be my last. read more

Pretty gross! I didn't get my egg roll in my lunch combo and my sesame chicken tasted cinnamon-y. Disgusting fried rice. Overall, I gave them a 1 Star bc the people working there are very nice but do NOT recommend!!! read more
