Thai Food in Wilmington, DE: 7 Dishes to Try

The best Thai meal is a balance of contrasts: sweet and savory, bright and rich, gentle warmth and lively spice. At The Riverfront Asian Cuisine & Bar, that balance comes to the table with a view of Wilmington's riverfront.

If you are searching for Thai food in Wilmington, DE and wondering what to order, begin with the kind of experience you want. Choose noodles for familiar comfort, curry for something fragrant and warming, or one of our signatures when the table is ready to share.

Noodles: familiar, comforting, and full of flavor

Pad Thai

Pad Thai brings together rice noodles, egg, bean sprouts, scallions, tamarind sauce, and crushed peanuts. The tamarind gives the dish its signature sweet-tangy character, while the peanuts add a welcome crunch. It is an easy first choice and a classic worth returning to.

Drunken Noodle

For a bolder noodle dish, try wide rice noodles tossed with tomato, onion, bell pepper, and basil in a savory Thai basil sauce. Drunken Noodle is aromatic, colorful, and especially satisfying when you want a little more heat.

Kao Soy

Kao Soy is a Northern Thai-inspired curry noodle soup with layers of creamy, aromatic flavor. Pickled mustard greens and crispy wontons bring brightness and texture to every bowl. It is a wonderful choice when you want something comforting but different from the usual noodle plate.

Curry: fragrant, warming, and made for rice

Pineapple Curry

Our Pineapple Curry pairs red curry, coconut milk, herbs, and sweet pineapple. The result is rich and fragrant with a tropical brightness that keeps each bite lively. Choose your preferred protein and spoon the curry over jasmine rice.

Riverfront signatures: the dishes worth sharing

River Fried Snapper

Crisp on the outside and tender within, the River Fried Snapper is finished with a sweet-and-spicy chili sauce and served with rice and steamed vegetables. It makes a memorable centerpiece for the table and offers a little of everything—crunch, heat, sweetness, and freshness.

Bangkok Steak

Bangkok Steak combines a grilled New York strip with Isan-style spicy jaew, house salad in chili-lime mayo, and jasmine rice. It is our Thai-inspired answer for the guest who wants steak without giving up the herbs, chile, and citrus that make the meal distinctly Riverfront.

Riverfront Mussels

Start the table with mussels simmered with onion, bell pepper, and Thai basil in our signature red curry broth. The broth is the reason to keep the dish in the middle of the table—it is fragrant, shareable, and ideal before the entrées arrive.
