Chow Thai

Just a typical Thursday night for my boyfriend and I - driving around figuring out what we wanted to eat for dinner. We Google what’s close to us and discover Chow Thai. Seemingly good reviews though not many in total, we decided to stop and check it out. It’s 8p and they close at 9p and there’s no other customers in here and the parking lot is empty, leaving us hesitant to even go in. Through the window I see what looks like a buffet bar and I don’t do Asian buffet so I was skeptical. We walk in and immediately welcomed by the hostess. We got to pick our booth and were given our menus. First off, the menus are fantastic. There’s a wide variety of food here which made deciding a little difficult. We opted a family style order and we split everything. Plus, the sushi is made fresh to order which is very nice and it tastes fresh. - Egg drop soup was phenomenal. - Bang Bang Chicken - I would’ve ate the WHOLE dish myself. - Volcano roll was delicious and the baked tuna on top added a nice texture for me and hid the gummy texture of sushi rice that I struggle to get through. - Ahi Tuna roll, now I didn’t try this one because of the fish on TOP of the roll but my boyfriend almost killed the whole roll. Everyone was super friendly and we got a lot of great recommendations from the other staff on what to try next. We plan on taking our family here when they come to visit in February. Overall, so glad we decided to take a chance because this food was bomb!!!

I never write reviews but I have to for Chow Thai. This place is the best of the best. I truly have no idea what my husband and I would do if something ever happened to it. It is our FAVORITE restaurant in Wilmington, period. Probably ever honestly. The food is immaculate, the waitresses take the time to talk to us and get to know us even- and the service is always speedy. I crave this place EVERY day of my life and I am truly never impressed like this by food- EVER! I love love love it. Nothing compares!

Cook to order. You order at the counter, pay, get your drinks, find a place to sit and your food will be delivered. Deliciously cooked. Place is very clean. You do not have to bus your own table.

In 34 years, I've never eaten dinner at the same place more than twice in a row. The wife and I had dinner here 4 nights in a row. We didn't think twice about not changing dinner destinations over fear of being let down. I can't speak highly enough of the quality, quantity, and flavor of the sushi. We would probably come back for a fifth trip if we weren't leaving. Take out for the first time....got tossed around a bit but was as good as ever.

Great food, great price I went for lunch with a friend and we each got a lunch sized portion which was very large (I took half of mine home). I had the Pad Thai with tofu. Quite honestly it might be the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had. My friend had the Spicy Vegetables and a California Roll which they also enjoyed thoroughly. I also got a Thai Iced Coffee which was delicious and very fairly priced for the size (2.99). It’s casual and quaint inside. I highly recommend it!

We got Pa See Ew with chicken, Beef fried rice, shrimp fried rice and teriyaki chicken with side of fried rice for my husband and I and our 11 years old son. We love it! It is so so good!!! Perfect!!! Thank you for the great food we have today!!! God bless you!!

I had a great experience at Chow Thai! The staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. You can tell they put a lot of care into their dishes. While the atmosphere wasn’t exactly my style, the overall experience was still really enjoyable. Definitely worth a visit for the food and excellent service!

We tried Chow Thai for the first time on Saturday afternoon and we really loved it! We are both vegan and tried the Tofu Pad Thai (with no egg) and the Tofu Basil Fried Rice (with no egg). Both dishes were delicious, as were the complimentary spring rolls. The service was excellent, it took less than 10 minutes for our food to be prepared. Everything tasted extremely fresh, a welcome alternative to the typical take out options in the area!
