Thai catering works well for groups because a buffet can offer many flavors without making every guest choose the same meal. Noodles, curry, fried rice, appetizers, and vegan dishes create a table that feels abundant and flexible.
The Riverfront offers takeout catering trays as well as dine-in private-event packages in Wilmington. The right format depends on your guest count, location, schedule, and whether you want restaurant service included.
Takeout Thai catering for offices and gatherings
Takeout trays are the simplest choice when you already have a venue. Small trays serve approximately five people and large trays serve approximately ten. The menu includes appetizers, noodles, fried rice, curry, and entrées.
For a balanced spread, choose one noodle, one rice dish, one curry, and at least one appetizer. Add a dedicated vegan tray when needed rather than asking vegan guests to rely only on side dishes.
Please place catering orders at least three days in advance. Pickup is free. Delivery is available within three miles for a $30 fee, subject to scheduling and availability.
What should you order for a group?
Pad Thai is familiar and travels well. Drunken Noodle adds a bolder basil profile. Fried rice gives the spread a dependable base, while red, green, Panang, Massaman, or pineapple curry adds warmth and aroma. Spring rolls, satay, dumplings, or curry puffs make the buffet easy to begin.
When estimating food, consider the event itself. A lunchtime office meeting may need fewer items than an evening celebration where guests will linger. Our team can help translate the guest count into tray sizes.
Private-event buffet packages
Dine-in private events require a minimum of 25 guests and are not offered on weekends. Standard packages include one appetizer and three entrées; Deluxe includes two appetizers and three entrées; Premium includes three appetizers and four entrées. Seasonal fruit is included.
Current lunch and dinner package prices, policies, and entrée choices are listed on our Catering & Private Events page. A private-event surcharge applies, gratuity is not included, and substitutions may carry an additional charge.
Add bar service and dessert
Private gatherings can include an open or cash bar. Soda service, cocktails, and a custom signature cocktail are also available. Dessert choices include Mango Sticky Rice or Fried Banana with Ice Cream.
