Varee Asian Cafe & Bakery

Went twice in a row one week after another with co-worker the waitress remembered me right off the rip, if you love sushi and this place is quite amazing I put it up there.

Food was phenomenal and came out really fast! Everyone is friendly and the flavors are very authentic. The portions are a little small for the price, but enough to feel full and leave some room for dessert!

I love thai food and have come here since they opened. The food is always great. Staff is always friendly and the service is fast. My problem is with the prices and portion sizes. Tonight before work I picked up an order. Tom Yum soup, chicken larb and a side of rice-total around $26. The portion size keeps getting smaller and smaller. Knowing how to make these myself, I can say the prices don't reflect the portion size at all. I really hope that they go back to bigger portions for what they are charging. I've gotten multiple orders over the past few months that are this size. It's disheartening.

OMG!! This is the best Thai food we've found since moving here from Oregon last year! It actually tastes like Thai food!! And they have Thai iced coffee!!! Sorry, I'm screaming, I'm just so seriously happy right now. Thank you so much for existing!!! We will be back!

So I really love Thai food, and Asian food in general. The spices and richness of the food is always delightful when done well. This place does exactly that. We had two appetizers and two main dishes. The fried spring rolls were flavorful and had an amazing crunch accompanied by a great dipping sauce. We had the yellowtail and it was served with a jalapeño on it and again, the sauce was a great dipping condiment that. Now for the main event we had the pork belly ramen and spicy fried rice. The ramen (tonkotsu) was delicious with great flavor, and the pork belly was massive. Great dish all around. The star of the evening was the Spivey fried rice. It was amazing. Great spice and great flavor. Not overly greasy with big plump shrimp. I love the bok Choy and crunchy onions in. The place was small but very well done and had a casual, but nice casual vibe. Good for hanging out or a date. I would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing. We were originally going elsewhere but there was a 45m wait, then we saw this in the same parking lot and gave it a shot. I got the Evil Noodles (duh) and my daughter got Tuna with rice shaped like a turtle. The "as spicy as you can make it" turned out to be "not very spicy", but the flavor was wonderful.

The pineapple fried rice is heavenly. The best fried rice ever. The flavors are abundant and very fresh. Service is good and restaurant is nice and well maintained. Great food and they have sushi. The California roll was fair.

Excellent service, never a dissappointment. My favorite dish so far is the cashew chicken. I would also recommend the Lanna Curry Ramen. The chicken was delicious. My least favorite one was the Khao-Soi (Forgive me if I spelled that wrong). I just didn’t like the coconut taste in the curry. I love their sticky rice with coconut ice cream. It reminds me of arroz con leche. The salmon and cream cheese rangoons are amazing especially with that sweet sauce. 06/01/21 They've changed the pork belly sliders. It was quite good but I think they could've not put that much brown sauce on it. We finally tried their sushi, and it's so good. I tried the hurricane which was super good. It had salmon on top. Inside, it had cream cheese and I believe crab meat. 10/03/21 Tried the chicken satay. The chicken was good but I didn't like the peanut butter sauce (the spices were a bit strong for me). The coconut ice cream with sticky rice is always a great choice for dessert. Staff always pleasant as well! 03/06/21 Another great dining experience. I see that they held back on the brown sauce on the pork belly sliders. They were perfect! I tried the neua ka tar which is marinated beef with veggies. It was so delicious. Staff so friendly, love supporting them. See you again! 5/23/22 I tried their teriyaki salmon. It was so delicious. Their homemade teriyaki sauce is *chef's kiss*. 09/25/22 Steamed dumplings are great, and it pairs great with soy sauce or with the sauce it comes with. I did like the Scary Jerry roll. It tasted fresh and light. 11/22 Tantanmen: A new addition to the Varee menu. I was not prepared on the heat! I was coughing after the first bite but I got used to it. Full of flavor but for my taste buds, I would lower the spiciness a bit. I did not eat the red chili strands; I think it was more of a garnish. 04/23 I love their new addition of the bonchon chicken wings! Korean-inspired, sweet and spicy, and juicy! A new fav!

what an unexpected delight! great atmosphere and service, but wow, the food! So fresh, perfectly seasoned and prepared with so much flavor and color! Even the plating and garnish was top notch. We stopped here after reading reviews on yelp while passing through town and were so glad we did. we love our local Thai restaurant but this is the best Thai restaurant we've ever tried!

The food was excellent! The service was fantastic and the ambience was what you would expect from an Asian café! Nice quiet music and a totally clean atmosphere! I would highly recommend this eating experience!! You won't go away hungry that's for sure!

Friendly and prompt service, excellent presentation and healthy, vegetarian options. Great find in a small town without a ton of other healthy options. A favorite!

This is our favorite restaurant in Wilson the drunken noodle is the best. Sashimi lunch is delicious as well.

I ordered the drunken noodles and my date ordered a sushi roll, both were absolutely delicious! I feel like this is a bit of a hidden gem in Wilson, especially since there are so few restaurants to choose from here.

This place was a gem of a place. It seemed like a family owned restaurant with the patriarch heading the place. I had one of the best spring rolls with lettuce, carrots, Thai basil, mint & shrimp wrapped with rice paper accompanied by garlic dipping sauce. I also had a deconstructed sushi with so much raw fish I was amazed. My son & husband had chicken fried rice with chili sauce. They also had cheese cake & coconut ice cream ( it could have come with sweet sticky rice but he didn't want it). The service was excellent with the waitstaff keeping a careful eye on you. The place was thoughtfully dressed with regional art work All in all I would come back again & again

This place never disappoints. Great experience at Varee in Wilson, NC! From the wonderful menu options, awesome sushi, and kind and professional staff, Varee is top tier. The lighting and music sets just the right atmosphere for a dinner for one, two, or a family gathering. Highly recommend.

Decided to try this place while visiting family in NC, as I saw some great reviews on it! Let me say, it definitely delivered! As we walked in, the restaurant was super clean and had a great atmosphere. We were instantly seated and taken care of right away. I got the Beef Pad See Ew (one of my favorites at any Thai restaurant), and a Thai Iced Tea for the drink. The food came super quickly and was steaming hot. Everything was absolutely delicious and flavorful, and was an amazing experience! Our waitress was also extremely nice and the service was phenomenal. Will definitely come here again the next time I am in Wilson!

LOVE this place. I love the sashimi and nigiri here. The Tom kha soup is also delish! Everything about this place is great. The price of food for the quality, the ambiance and the friendly and quick staff.

Me and my boyfriend came here tonight, I got three sushi rolls and he got the spicy chicken ramen and it was all very delicious! I love the vibe of this place, the classy jazz music and the cleanliness of the restaurant was great. Our server was nice and the other server there at the time was helping, coming by and picking up our dirty plates and dropping off the bill for our server because she was busy at another table, I just appreciate seeing good team work like that as I am a server as well. We will definitely be back!

They always have new staff and it makes me wonder how their staff is treated. The lady in the back (who I assume in the owner/manager) is definitely harsh from what I've seen. The food was okay, not good for the price. The service was good and servers were very personable. However, the music was so loud I can't even have a conversation.

What a delicious hidden gem! Extensive menu of dishes that includes sushi, ramen, noodles, and stir fries. Our party enjoyed summer rolls, a tuna appetizer with truffle ponzu, tonkatsu ramen, roasted duck noodles and a variety of sushi and sashimi. Everything was top-notch and served by friendly, attentive staff. Such a nice little spot tucked into an unassuming strip center. We'll be back!

Excellent Thai food and sushi. Prices a bit steep for the amount, but food is well prepared and delicious. Staff is attentive and friendly. Ambience is lovely. Full bar as well.

I usually judge a Thai restaurant on how well they prepare a dish of Pad Thai. My husband always goes for the Red Curry Chicken. We were both very please. Although we got take out, the service was speedy and the food, wonderful!

Food is very flavorful and robust! I love love the taste. Crazy fried ramen Lanna Curry Ramen Shrimp Tempura The waiters are always pleasant. I don't even feel like I'm down the street from my house when I eat there. Nice switch to my everyday food choices!! Please go support!!!

Food and service are always exceptional. Food is very fresh and well prepared. We eat there once or twice a month and we don't even live in Wilson, it is worth the drive.

Everything was great! Food was flavorful and came hot and quick. Service was great also. Nice quaint spot. In the vicinity of many hotels for out of town travelers.

I just love that we have a Thai restaurant here in itty bitty Wilson!!! I live that you can choose your spice level.

I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that we were able to find an Asian restaurant here in Wilson, North Carolina - never having been here ( and being from Hawaii & Washington) I didn't know what to expect in the way of Asian cuisine. But this restaurant was a great little find and the food is delicious. I saw the other reviews and as far is the prices they were not that expensive. It was pretty equivalent to what we paid in Hawaii, Washington state and the Mew England states for good Asian cuisine. We were seated quickly and our server was polite and attentive. Wilson, NC this is a place I would recommend if you want good Asian cuisine.

I appreciate their uniqueness in fusing French cuisines with Thai influences but, quite simply, the flavor and portions do not correlate with the price.

My friend and I both had chicken and rice dishes but they were so different. We shared and I couldn't decide which one I liked better. For dessert we got the chocolate layer cake. It had a deep dark chocolate flavor that was very satisfying. Highly recommend this restaurant and the charming people who work here.

I was very surprised when I found this place in Wilson, NC (a small town). Ordered: chicken pad see ew, pork belly bun, mango sticky rice, Thai tea. The pad see ew was nicely seasoned and had good flavor. Only downside - the eggs were cooked weird (not sure how to describe) Pork belly bun was to die for except it was overly sauced. It would have been perfect had they used half the sauce and or served it on the side. The menu said you get two buns but really it's one bun cut in half . I was kinda disappointed about the portion served for the price. Mango sticky rice was good. Similar to others I've had. Thai tea was made well. Again, disappointed about the portion served for the price. But it makes sense due to location.

Had the roasted duck noodle, authentic duck. Very sweet dish. Also had the Pad Prik Kra Paw, the chicken portion was on the smaller size especially for the prices. But the flavor was good. Rice in the shape of a teddy bear was cute. Overall on the pricey side for this food.

Great ramen soups! I won't go into details on flavors and ingredients but from one foodie to another, this place should be on your list. I'm just passing through and highly doubt being in the area again....but never say never they say! I hope my travels from NYC to Florida bring me back here!

This is hands down one of the best restaurants in Wilson. Admittedly, I've only ever had the cashew chicken since I'm allergic to seafood and there aren't many other options to choose from that are safe for me to eat, but they knock that one out of the park. Tons of flavor, nice large portions, and fresh ingredients. They like spice here but will cater to your tastes as best as they can. The service is always super attentive and they take pride in what they serve. It's a little spendy but it's worth it. It's always really clean also; no greasy tables or dirty floors. Friends of mine recommend the sushi if that's your jam. Two thumbs up.

I loovvvvve the food here! I also get the curry. Staff is amazing and I come so much they know my order before I tell them!

So I really love Thai food, and Asian food in general. The spices and richness of the food is always delightful when done well. This place does exactly that.

Foods pretty good, started great though. Like most restaurants , I'm starting to notice a slow decline in quality and taste and increase in price. I hope they can at least maintain quality from here on out, I would hate to lose another favorite. I also wish ALL sushi restaurants would take the words fresh crab meat off their menus if you're not using fresh crab!! People know the difference!! Less sauce more natural flavors

Great food every time. Very consistent and authentic. I suggest the cashew chicken or pork belly bun.

Wow, this place is great. I am not Asian, so I cannot speak to the authenticity of the dishes, but they sure seem to be a lot, lot, lot better than the other local options. Very delicious, and something that you might find in a much larger city, so thankful it is in Wilson. We loved everything we ordered and cannot wait to try the rest of the menu. We will be back soon. My wife had the Spicy Duck, I had the Evil Jungle Noodles, we had dumplings for an appetizer and sticky rice ice cream for desert.

Food, Service and Atmosphere were excellent. We went for lunch and had the Pork Belly Bun as an appetizer and had the Pad Prik Kra Paw for our entrees. The Spring Rolls that came with the meal are also delicious. It was my first time trying Thai cuisine and I loved it. Definitely will be going back. Highly recommended.

The place is nice and the staff was also very nice. The food was okay, I got the pad Thai. It was good but not to the standard that I feel it should've be. I've been to different places so I have quite a standard for it and maybe that was my mistake I should've tried something a little more different. I was just craving that at the moment. Would I try it again? Yes, but maybe during lunchtime because truthfully for dinner it was a little overpriced for me. Almost $20, mmm I'm going to rethink that especially since it wasn't a large portion and I didn't even get a drink it was just the food. Don't get me wrong, I do and will pay for food like that but if it's like super good. We'll this was okay but nothing as such.

I'm totally obsessed with this place and their Spicy Fried Rice with minced chicken. I dream about it! It's like fried rice meets Pud Bi Gra Prow (Thai Basil Chicken/Beef). It's SOOOOO good! And let me also add that the service is as awesome as the food. It's our new favorite spot in Wilson.

Decided to try this place out while in Wilson for a work trip and I was pleasantly surprised to find this little place at the end of a strip mall. My waitress was super nice and attentive and everything came out quickly. I started out with the Thai Orchid which was delicious and I loved the color of it. I started with the shrimp spring rolls which were fresh. I then had two of the specialty rolls which came out much larger than expected. They were delicious though and it was probably the spiciest spicy mayo I've had on a sushi roll. Even though I was so full I had to try the seasonal Thai sticky rice and mango. I have so become that person that enjoys fruit for dessert but my goodness it was delicious. The rice was warm with just a hint of sweetness and the mango was ripe and fresh. If I'm ever back in town I'll definitely be visiting here again!

Had to come try this Thai restaurant while at Wilson. It was recommended by a Bridgeston worker whom I met at the cafeteria. Hope to see her this week and tell her I've been here. Ordered Summer Rolls an Pad Thai. They have sushi, too. Summer Rolls are pretty good. Pad Thai is a bit salty for me. They didn't have sticky rice with mango for dessert... they only serve it in the summer time...

I just want to take a moment to praise how hard the young staff workers were working. You hear so much negativity these days about bad service but these kids were working their tails off. Food was great and service was great! Keep up the good work!

We were traveling back home from a weekend trip and saw Varee and that it was a bakery... we were intrigued. We didn't end up getting any bakery items though they looked delicious... no we had their steamed dumplings (5 stars) pork belly buns (5 stars but a bus messy watch out!), the curry was so yummy and spicy... my nose had a definite reaction (5 stars and spicy!)! And the ramen was flavorful, the pork belly melted in my mouth, the mushrooms were tasty, and the noodles (5 stars!)... it was just amazing. Go there and eat and be happy!

Today was my first visit to Varee and I can't wait to go back. The restaurant was quaint and very clean. Overall the food was excellent and the service was as well. I had the Pad Prik Kra Paw, which is traditional stir-fry with garlic, bell peppers, onion, and Thai basil leaves with chicken. It was delicious, see the photo I included. The meal also included a fried spring roll that was perfectly fried. It was light and tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food. Fast. Very accommodating for changes or level of spice/heat. I substitute vegetables like carrots for onions and there is no delay or issue

Absolutely delicious food. Would go back for another meal anytime! Nice atmosphere and wait staff and owner were friendly and attentive.

Have been here several times over the past few weeks. Hit a couple of times for lunch (dine in) and tonight for dinner (carry out). Had the drunken noodles twice, one with tofu and once with tofu and extra vegetables. Both times Thai hot. The meals were pretty tasty with great depth of flavor but was lacking in spice/heat. Still very good. Stopped in tonight and was going to have a seat for dinner but the place was pretty packed and it gets loud so switched it to to-go at the last minute. I ordered the Evil Noodles and they were able to sub tofu for meat, thai hot. This is basically just a coconut curry dish with noodles, nothing fancy but pretty tasty. It was supposed to come with veggies and basil but they were pretty light on both. Very rich dish but super tasty. Heat level was closer to Thai hot, but still a little mild. Excellent food, especially given that it is in small town NC. Friendly staff on all visits.

Awesome experience to enjoy a sushi dinner with our friends!! We split 6 sushi rolls with our friends. They were outstanding! For appetizers we ordered Seaweed salad, Dumplings and Shrimp Tempura. All very tasty! The service was top notch and everyone was very friendly! A definite repeat!!

I love Varee. The upbeat staff always makes me feel at home and the food is always perfect. Not good. Not great. Perfect. If you like a little heat I recommend the Drunken Noodles with pork belly buns to start. One of the best restaurants in Wilson.

I'm so glad I ordered this Pad See Ew it tastes great! I will right back test this good food

This place does not look like much but wow the food was awesome and tasty. Great service and super service all delivered with a smile.

Food is always great and service is good. I always enjoy my meals there. You can also get takeout if you like.

Excellent Thai food 3 miles off I -95. My son enjoyed the vegetable spring rolls and Chicken pad Thai. My husband and I shared their Korean fried chicken wings and chicken pad prik kra paw both were delicious. Restaurant has excellent service and a decent wine menu, I highly recommend.

After reading the reviews I was extremely excited to visit and try this restaurant! My first impression was that it's very cozy and cute inside! It has multiple tables for two, and would seemingly be nice for a nice lunch spot! When entering the restaurant I was immediately greeted, and placed my order to go, once my order was ready I asked for soy sauce and the waitress asked me did I pay for my order, I explained that I had and she then gave me only ONE soy sauce. I then asked her for more soy sauce and she gave me ONE more and rolled her eyes. This was disturbing because she looked frustrated that I asked for more condiments. I then walked over to one of the tables that had a soy sauce bottle on the table and added the soy sauce to my liking. My lunch was $16, I would think the service would be more inviting. My lunch order placed was pad se-ew in which they added WAY to many fried eggs and not enough noodles. I will not return

The portions are extremely small. Manager is vary rude when THEY were the ones who messed up on the order. She has yelled at us and the table beside us about incorrect orders. But she was quick to take our checks right when I set it down. Food is subpar. Waitress was nice about the situation.
