Here’s a welcome to 8th & Union Kitchen, formerly Union City Grille. The Southeast Asian inspired restaurant in Wilmington’s Little Italy presents the deep and bright flavors of Thailand and Vietnam and other countries that influence the chef. 8UK uses contemporary techniques to prepare coconut-based curries, pho, dumplings, summer rolls, salads, and small plates. You’ll find traditional cocktails, house drinks and Tiki cocktails that play into the Southeast Asia theme. There are 14 beers on draft—some craft, some domestic—with a selection of moderately priced small distribution wines. The rustic decor feels good whether you show up in jeans and a T-shirt or still dressed from the office. Stop in on a Monday for half-priced burgers. 654-9780, www.facebook.com/8thandunionkitchen
