FINALLY SOME GOOD ASIAN FOOD! Everything is delicious and the portion sizes are enough for 2 large dinners. You can tell everything is fresh and full of flavor. The staff are also extremely friendly and fast.
Delicious! I was sad that the old Thai place closed. But.. I tried this one for the first time and it's really good. I got Thai fried rice with tofu. The rice tasted great! The employees were friendly. I tried everyone else at my tables food and it was all delicious as well. I didn't get any drinks this time.. But next time I will and I'll update!
We visited this location on a Sunday and didn't have to wait in long lines like the other restaurant. It exceeded our expectations, the restaurant looks small but it is very nice, all the staff was very friendly and most importantly the food was delicious just like the first location in Wilmington... Note: we noticed that there were not some dishes that they handle in the other branch, we didn't ask if they could make them. but we took advantage and tried new dishes, which did not disappoint.👌🏼 We will definitely return.
We had a really nice experience here, friendly staff good food was able to swap out some items on the menu with no up charge. will definitely come back here next time we visit
The food is absolutely worth going for. I had the green papaya salad and it was amazing. So flavorful, just the right amount of heat. However the service leaves a little to be desired. I dined alone at 5:30 on a Monday and it took over an hour for me to get in and out. The staff is overwhelmed and not very efficient in the dining room, everything is a separate trip. I never got a refill. My server did check in on me once, but I had finished and waited 20 minutes to try and get the check. Maybe take out is the best solution if you want food from here?!
Food was great. The customer service was even better. Be careful driving to the parking lot as it is uneven and has a pothole. I would order again from them.
Super calm atmosphere, delicious food. Excellent service. I left my credit card in my car and the manager was super gracious and let me call in later rather than driving back. I also saw the manager, Ming, be super helpful and attentive to an elderly woman who was struggling to get into the restaurant. Just wonderful hospitality and they really cook from the heart.
The location is so convenient. I like the whole aesthetic. The bar has a great selection. I’ve eaten Thai food from many states but this is my new favorite. Best ethnic food in town. I recommend the Thai Basil fried rice shrimp, yellow chicken coconut curry, pad see u, but if you have an acquired taste for ethnic food shrimp pad thai is delicious. The foods spicy level can be customized. The springs rolls, pork egg rolls and wontons are my go to appetizers.This hidden gem needs more recognition. It’s hard to find good food in this town. Personally I’m not a fan of most the basic restaurants nearby. After traveling many states I’ve acquired a higher standard for the food I eat.
Gold bags have taken the place of our favorite. They’re fantastic! Really wish they had had the Thai coffee cake for us to try that we had seen on previous menu. Mousse cake not like Indochine Wilmington, but more like large square Olive Garden black tie mousse cake. Ok, but not nearly as special. Nightly specials and so convenient so will be back!
This was our first time going to this restaurant. Our server was awesome. There is a separate menu with Vegan, Vegetarian and gluten free options. I got Tofu Curry. It had tofu, carrots and cauliflower in a yellow curry sauce served with rice. I got the mild and it still had a little kick to it. I also got tofu spring rolls with a peanut sauce. Very tasty. My boyfriend got Teriyaki Beef Noodles. He said they were good. We will definitely go back.
