This is my favorite restaurant in Wilmington. Their fried rice is the best I've ever had and every sushi choice is stellar. Highly, highly recommend!

One of the absolute best restaurants in the area. They offer authentic Thai food and phenomenal sushi. They have an outstanding menu with a broad selection. I've eaten here many times and I highly recommend Kat and Allison as they are the best waitresses ever. You won't regret visiting. And, very affordable!

It was my first visit to Chow Thai since they changed the name and interior of the restaurant (not sure about the ownership)... While I appreciated that there are many To Go Orders, dining inside was not as 'an experience' as it once was previously. The restaurant is very clean and the customer service is top notch, I just missed the experience of a 'typical dining experience.' I ordered the Spring Rolls (vegetable) and the Tom Yum Soup with the addition of Chicken. They ask if you would like the soup spicy or not...I chose a little ('middle of the road') spice....I love spicy, it just doesn't always 'like me' back! :/ The Spring Rolls were very tasty and just the right amount of crunch and not too oily...my only complaint is that I would've liked to have a couple more! :) I would rate them 4.6 stars ! The Tom Yum soup was very different than what I was used to having (mostly at the Southern Thai Restaurant); but it was very good. The broth was very flavorful with just enough (but not too much) spice. The main difference, though, was the broth. I am used to a lemongrass/Chicken broth, with Thai Basil, and a -removable- Thai chili (I learned the hard way to ask for the chili on the side!! :/)!! This 'sort of' spicy soup; however, has a tomato inspired broth and has the addition of tomatoes and mushrooms. It is very tasty, just VERY different from what I am used to/was expecting. Rating: 4.2 stars That said, I ate a good amount of it, but had to pack up the rest, as I guess I ate too many spring rolls :). They did have amazing take out containers for those who choose to order take out...no spillage from THAT container!! I would like to say that their customer service, and, service in general, is very good- 4.6 stars So, I suppose the overall rating was 4.4 stars as I was just disappointed about the dining experience in general (being waited on, instead of a 'to go' scenario) and the difference in soup, which neither is really a 'fault'- perhaps if I had known what to expect it would have been closer to a perfect review. I do highly recommend this establishment and look forward to trying some of the other items on the menu. I will return to try more items on the menu, and to try the Sushi!! Thanks CT!!

The prices and vibe according to me and my parents are perfect! The times I've been in there have been great. I usually get tofu glass noodles FYI if anyone is interested.

Finally, FINALY we have found a great Asian (Thai) restaurant in Wilmington NC. Veggies actually not cooked to mush brown and, as astonishingly as it might seem, FLAVOR across the board. Wonderful. What is more a staff that has a pulse. Wow, even efficient delivery via Door Dash. We couldn't be happier.

Food is ALWAYS amazing here, hidden gem in Monkey Junction! Staff is always friendly and prices extremely reasonable.

Such a great lunch place. Friendly staff, delicious food, and spring rolls are complimentary at lunch. The Monkey Junction roll is terrific if you like spicy sushi. The presentation of the food is great, too. I love the thinly shredded carrots that are garnished on the side.

Holy mother of yummy drunken noodles! Wow! I work PT a few doors down, and decided for lunch to give them a try! I am used to the Thai House back home, and they have always been impossible to beat until TODAY! I love I can order online and tell them on there no eggs without it being an issue! The spice I did was 3x and it hit today perfectly! I love wide rice noodles and the veggies and chicken where all on point! Stop by and try this hidden gem out! The lunch portion will be enough for 2/3 meals for me! Yummy yummy...gotta go get these noodles in the tummy'

Chow Thai is amazing. I'm big on value, and the lunch special, the sushi, and the regular menu are all fantastic. Always some to take home. I'm pretty critical, and I walk the line of not wanting to make my favorite places too popular out of selfishness, but these guys deserve it.
