A delicious selection of our Thai and Vietnamese cuisine for dine-in, to go, and for delivery. Located in Leland, NC next to Walmart.
Sheena is amazing! I absolutely love this place. My family and I come here every week—it's our go-to spot. We trust the food here more than anywhere else because it’s always fresh, high-quality, and the restaurant is spotless. After a long day, we often pick up from here just for the convenience, but honestly, you don’t need to eat anywhere else. The staff is super friendly and always remembers us by name. Plus, the cleanliness and high sanitation rating give us peace of mind every time we visit. Highly recommend!
Definitely a more casual vibe than the original location in Wilmington. But the food and service are excellent. I order regularly from this location and also the original restaurant. I can't tell the difference, as a take-out customer. The green curry with tofu is amazing. The crab angels are crunchy and have a large amount of cream cheese/crab mix stuffed inside. I've never had a bad dish from here.
We visited the original Indochine restaurant in Wilmington and loved it! So when we spotted the Indochine - Express restaurant in Leland (near Walmart) we had to check it out.
We loved the intimacy of this smaller restaurant and enjoyed the same delicious and healthy food as at the "Mother Ship". Since many Express patrons get their food to go, we and our friends find it easy to get tables for groups of 6-8 without a wait. The staff is friendly, kind and helpful. The food portions are generous and tasty. Why eat traditional fast food, when such tasty vegan and traditional fare is just a few dollars more than "a burger and fries"? Eat healthy and leave happy!
Sheena deserves a raise. We came in for the first time a few days ago and were seated by her to dine in. She was awesome from the beginning and gave great recommendations off the menu. She had such a great personality. We will be back many times just because of her energy and the delicious food. Thank you, sheena for the great service and recommendations. We will be back soon.
I finally got to try Indochine Express here in Leland. I've been to the one near Independence mall (and their sister restaurants).
Small place where you order at the counter. I had the lemongrass pork with fried rice and my friend ordered one of the specials, as chicken with broccoli.
My dish came out pretty quickly. My friend waited an extra 10 minutes for her, which we thought was odd.
Our food was just okay, really nothing special. The fried rice didn't seem freshly made, as it was one thick clump that probably sat in a pot for a while.
I guess I prefer Indochine Restaurant and Cafe Chinois over the Express.
I'll give it another try in the future.
EDIT: DH and I had lunch today (30 December 2023) and the food was very good.
We started with the Cha Gio rolls. There were 6 to the order and reasonably priced. They reminded us of the rolls we had at a Korean restaurant back in Maryland. Nice crunchy wraps. They were served with lettuce to wrap the rolls.
I ordered the Pad Kra Pao, beef with basil. DH ordered the Pad Thai. Both were huge portions and well prepared. We have plenty of leftovers to enjoy.
You order at the counter. The person that took our order was very friendly. She brought our food out quickly to our table.
This is a small place and nicely decorated.
The only thing I didn't like (yes, I should have asked) was that were were not given plates. Maybe they do more take out than sit down diners.
Love this location - I frequently order takeout and it’s always delicious and hot. Sheena’s customer service is exceptional. I had just one instance of an item being accidentally omitted from my order & Sheena proactively called me and offered multiple solutions to help make it right. I’ll forever keep coming back!
Nice, quaint and very clean. Food and service were excellent and very big portion size for entrees. Highly recommend the ginger chicken!
Tried today...it was the start of lunch, and the food was delicious, and the service was fast. I ordered off of the Indochine Lunch menu...it was perfect portion for the middle of the day.
Fast forward 3rd visit I tried something new chicken yum yum it's absolutely delicious always a hit for me.

Terrible just terrible. Used to be good but the food has gone downhill and a horrible aftertaste and gross. Stay away unless you want stomach issues

I was door dashing tonight, and i went in like normal I said I’m here to pick up this ladies order, the African American citizen(I don’t know her name) said ok it will be with you in just one moment. Fast forward 2 minutes went by she said “you her for this customer” I said “yes sir” by accident because I was looking into my phone texting someone then I said “sorry I meant ma’am she proceeded to hold the bag and refused to give it to me till I said “yes ma’am” I plainly said “sorry” yall need new people not karens working
Overpriced . Quality food low. Customer service extremely poor. Atmosphere.dirty . Stay clear.

Excellent indochine food
Great food! Good service and a few tables for in-house eating but most do take out. Just a little on the pricey side.

The best vegan pho I've ever had!!

Everyone is very pleasant. Their Curry Chicken is always really good. Thank you!!
Absolutely amazing food and staff!
By far the best indochine around. They have the best fried rice and everyone is so nice. I love this place c
We would order at least twice a week when they first opened. We loved their food, especially the curry. Now the curry is more of a soup, my Thai basil chicken always has overcooked dry chicken lacking in flavor. I love Thai hot so I went to mild thinking maybe there would be more flavor. It’s not authentic like the original location on market st. Not sure what has changed but it’s not worth the money. We even tried different days of the week in case it was a specific cook, well that wasn’t the case sadly :(
Always a long wait to pick up take out. Staff not very pleasant
Clean place, friendly staff, fast service, delicious food.
Real good food
Good service. Friendly counter person. Little pricey, but worth it.
Yum!😋
Enjoyed our meals...large portions
Great place for either Thai takeout or dine in. Would highly recommend if you're in Leland or Wilmington
I've tried this location a few times. It's still a no for me. The pad thai is bland, has little to what's seems like no tamarind sauce. Plus, it's oily. The chicken most often is tough. I've tried a couple of other dishes. Same issues. Overall, Just not worth the price point. And even at a lower price point, it wouldn't be worth it.
I placed my order online at 5.20pm. Got a text at 6.10 to say everything was ready. Showed up at 6.25 to be told they didn’t have my order. Went to check my phone and they “found the order in the system” but it was showing complete. The lady did rush it through and I was given a $20 gift card even though it was Door Dash’s “fault”. Fix the system! I had 10 people waiting at my house and I had timed everything just right but I left my house at 6pm and got home at 7pm for something that should have taken 20 minutes. Very disappointed.
The best entrées of the original Indochine.
I was very surprised when I went in and saw there was a Banh Mi Grouper sandwich on the board. It was fabulous
Great atmosphere too, tastefully decorated and historical and clean
Portions are great.
This little restaraunt is one of my family's favorite stops for authentic Thai food. It's the smaller version of the full-sized Indochine so famous in Wilmington, NC. There are fewer items on the menu selection at Express, but everything is always just as fresh, flavorful and delicious. (Our favorite is the Pad Thai.)
The staff is top notch! Always friendly and helpful, even when it's near closing time. In a world where mediocre service and lack-luster food seems to be the norm, head to Indochine Express where you're business is appreciated and the food is amazing.
Service was quick and good. Pad thai noodles were not good. Should have tried the fried rice instead. Pork pot stickers are worth a try.
I went to the original Indochine in Wilmington and the food was solid there. I ordered the yellow curry with chicken which is a staple in Thai food. At the Leland location, the yellow curry was very bland and watery. The chicken was very dry. For $16? They should be ashamed of themselves. I really hope the owners see this review and find a way to figure out how to improve the quality at this location. I ordered the same food (yellow curry) from both locations and the Leland location does not come close to Wilmington but they charge the same price. No thanks. Never again.
Food was mushy. No veggies. Very very very “one-note”. Minimal flavor. Added my own ingredients after trying it. No saving it. Flavorless. Go to the real Indochine in Wilmington. Always yummy.
Somehow got my order wrong even though I used the web portal for pickup. Frustrating. Food still pretty good although not what I ordered 🫠
Good food. Nice people. Not much atmosphere in this small mostly to go place, but their vegetable spring rolls and sweet and sour sauce are fantastic.
Loved it!!!
We wanted to go to Six Happiness but it is closed on Monday which we forgot. So we thought we’d try Indochine Express since we love the original in Wilmington. Unfortunately it’s not the same except for the prices but you don’t get table service or plates or real forks and knives. No salt and pepper except for the little packet in with the plastic ware. I don’t think they have decided if they want to be strictly takeout or a restaurant. The food was ok at best. No comparison to Wilmington. Don’t waste your time drive about 15 more minutes and go to the original Indochine.
Or better yet, go to Six Happiness where the food and prices are much better.

Fast forward 3rd visit I tried something new chicken yum yum it's absolutely delicious always a hit for me.
Customer service is a 1/10 and the chicken wings are HUGEEEE. I wish I would have taken a picture before throwing them in the trash. Suggestion… list the wings as JUMBO! The beef fried rice saved our experience fortunately.
Great food!
I had the Pad Thai and Tom Kha soup. So good. Fast service. Comfortable seating.
Great food. Seems like the same food as the original. It's small and setup for take out.
Great food, great value for what you get. You should definitely stop by if you're in the area!
I had a terrible experience with my online order. I used to eat at Indochine pretty frequently but this experience convinced to that I will surely never spend my money here again. I placed an online order at 6:45 and my scheduled pickup time was 7:25 - 7:30. I showed up right on time at 7:30 and was told it will “be ready in a moment. I patiently waited until 7:50 to asked if my food was almost ready (20 minutes after my scheduled pick up time) and was told they were bagging it up. I waited another 10 minutes until 8:00 when they eventually gave me my food. In the 30 minutes that i was waited they never offered me a drink, or apologized for the absolutely obnoxious amount of time that I sat there patiently without complaining. On top of all of that, THE ORDER WASNT EVEN RIGHT! Don’t waste your money here.

Green curry is very yummy. Great portion size for price. 10/10
The food is awesome amd Mariana amd Nick were great because I wasn’t sure what to order. They were very nice and very helpful!
My food came out fast despite how busy they were! I’ll definitely be back!
Indochine Express is primarily a take-out facility with a few tables for in-house ding. It’s bright, clean, and quiet enough for conversation. Take-out service was quick, efficient, and accurate. Food was delicious, and serving size was generous enough for two meals.
While it has seating, it's really built for takeout. Food was good. Service was friendly.
We were told 25 minutes for food preparation. It was 15. Pleasantly surprised.
Love this place and the staff. As well as the food, obviously. We really like the spring rolls and the “gold bags,” which are like chicken fried dumplings, and truly are little bags of gold sent straight from the food god himself. The tuxedo cake may be the best I’ve tried from an establishment as well. Also love their drink selection, especially the pear flavored sake! But seriously, we were held at the back of Walmart for forever during a tornado warning after placing a pickup order at this indochine when shopping. They called us to inquire as to why we hadn’t picked up our food, letting us know they would be closing soon. After telling them what was going on, they really stayed after hours to give us our food!!! Love them!
Food very tasty and prepared well. Watch the spice level if you’re sensitive to spicy. We went with the middle hot level and it was quite spicy and we love hot food. Great atmosphere definitely check this place out!
Ordered Crab Angels, Cha-yo and Pad Thai. Crab Angels were very good, Cha-yo was greasy and overdone. Ordered the Pad Thai with shrimp. It was tasteless except for the fishy tasting shrimp, which you wouldn't want to eat. Won't be back again.
wait time was longer than anticipated and they did seem a bit disorganized when i arrived for pick up. but the food was INCREDIBLE! for vegetarian dishes, i highly recommend the yellow curry or the pad thai! portion sizes always are generous—can usually get two solid meals out of one dish!
Don't care for the flavors. Too expensive for what it is.
Ordered online and pick up at store. The food was made quickly and the lady at the desk was very nice and welcoming. The food tasted great, would highly recommend!
Their dishes are packed with flavor and their portions are very generous. 🍜💯🍚
Delicious food! Highly recommend the Pad Thai and Sweet and Sour Chicken! Winners in my household every time
OMG I love this place so much!!
We want to love it but we don't care for much on this menu, too many noodle dishes, and prices are higher than they should be for this food and fast-casual. Why pay full-service dinner prices when you order at the desk?
Absolutely wonderful meal at Indochine Express in Leland tonight!!! Food was spot on, Crystal, the manager on duty was beyond amazing as was the young gentleman that checked us out as well!!! Absolutely will return to eat here again and again!!!
I had wanted to try Indochine ever since it opened in Southport. I had an opportunity to eat lunch at the Leland location, and it was outstanding. Before 2 p.m., their lunch menu is limited, but everything sounded great. I chose the Teriyaki Beef Noodles. It was outstanding, perfectly prepared, and extremely flavorful. I can't wait to try their entire menu.
Food is flavorful and their team is friendly and knowledgeable! Thank you for bringing such delicious food to Leland!
One of the best spots in town. Amazing food. Authentic Thai recipes
Great food nice people
The FOOD is GREAT, and Angie is AWESOME too!
I ordered teriyaki chicken noodles and veggies with 2 orders of the crab angels for my toddlers. 2nd bite I took was broccoli that was full of dirt. Literally chewed up grits of dirt. Spit it out and figured it was just a piece that didn’t get rinsed good. Kept eating and kept eating more dirt/grit. Took it back and the girl was so rude she wanted to ARGUE with me over whether or not I had just ate dirt. She said other people would have the same complaint if they had dirty vegetables. I said oh so I’m lying? She said well I’ve sold a lot of those dishes today and nobody else said that it had dirt in it. I walked out. Won’t be back. Stick to Wilmington location.
Ordered pickup, and they forgot part of our order and messed up another part. Called, and they said they could do a store credit and that they would have a manager call me back shortly. This was 2 days ago, with no call back. I guess you have to open everything up in front of them to verify your order because they obviously don't care if they get it wrong.
Simply the best Thai food in the area! A must try!
Indochine needs to fix it's fried rice, the pot stickers and soup were good but the fried rice is not fried, it's just white rice + stuff there is seemingly no wok involved. It was just mushy rice with some egg and pork.
Amazing food!!!!
Food great. Service terrible. No hello or goodbye. Only conversation was to order food, not even a thanks.
Food is very flavorful but staff screws up orders. Today I got the food home to discover that one item was missing and another had chicken instead of vegetables. The confirmation email got everything right. I called and they told me to take it up with DoorDash. DoorDash did not screw this up. I regret adding a tip in advance. UPDATE: We disputed the charges through our Mastercard bank. The followed up with DoorDash, who reported that they did not make a mistake - which is correct. Indochine screwed this up. So reimbursement denied. Be very careful about ordering online, and check your items in the bag before you leave the store.
So unbelievably rude!!! Will not be stopping agine.
First time Fter having been to the original Indochine many times. Having since gone gluten free for health reasons usually any Asian is difficult . There's options aplenty and the staff were enthusiastic to help us through the new menu. We were surprised when we were told even the soy sauce is gluten free. Overall satisfaction was amazing and the food was amazing as well. We'll be back often !! Thanful to have more amazing options in Leland
Great to have a decent Thai/southeast Asian option on this side of the bridge. Tasted great, right amount of heat, and good variety on the menu.
I lost so much respect for Indochine as a whole. I think the owner would be embarrassed by this restaurant. They lost our order and we waited 30 min after our DoorDash pickup time without any sort of compensation or apology. I should’ve checked the bag before I left but when I got home it turns out they forgot our sweet and sour sauce… with our sweet and sour chicken. This indochine sucks, and I will be driving across the bridge before trying this location again.
Easy ordering system with tracking. So excited to have Indochine right here in our community.The yellow curry is wonderful and plenty of leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day. Welcome, Indochine!
Call ahead for pickup. Food is bountiful and delicious!
Delighted to not have to travel in and out of Wilmington to enjoy Indochine's extraordinary Southeast Asian cuisine. Top-shelf service, too!
