JULY 31-AUGUST 6, 2019 UCW 35 Best of Fayetteville Best Thai Restaurant Prik Thai Cuisine 2429 Robeson St. 910-491-0256 or www.facebook.com/PrikThaiCuisine Customers fawn over it, claiming it's the only restaurant of its kind in Fayetteville. Prik Thai, a homey Thai restaurant with 4.5 stars on TripAdvisor, is loved for its friendly service, generous portions, low prices and flavorful Thai spices. For six years, owner Worawan "Candy" Zendejas and her staff have gone out of their way to accommodate customer needs, including offering several ways to order and several levels of spice. Zendejas said her business started skyrocketing soon after she opened through word-of-mouth, Facebook posts and Instagram posts. "My staff and I also make customers feel like they're at home; it is a family," she said. One customer says Prik Thai's best dishes are the pad thai, drunken noodles, pineapple fried rice and orange chicken. He also insists that the restaurant is "easily the best Thai in Fayetteville." You can wash down your meal with anything from sweet tea to coconut juice, and finish with the fried banana or mango & sticky rice for dessert. Prik Thai also has a small Chinese menu with all the classics. Best Sushi Restaurant NONA Sushi 5075 Morganton Rd., Unit 5 or 4411 Ramsey St., Suite 112 910-703-8986 or www.facebook.com/NONA-SUSHI-125876501198931 NONA Sushi has won this category for three years in a row now, reflecting the fact that it's been a Fayetteville favorite since the day it opened. The restaurant offers traditional Japanese specialties in a beautiful, classy environment to give customers the best experience possible. Crowd favorites from the menu include the crunchy crab roll, chicken hibachi, spicy salmon roll and the Fort Bragg roll. A wide selection of sake is available to complement any dinner. Owner Fuma Kurniawan creates a welcoming environment where customers are treated with the Golden Rule in mind. It's no wonder that last year NONA opened up a new location on Ramsey Street to expand its reach to the north side of town. NONA is a military-friendly establishment that caters specifically to Fayetteville's unique community — including the tech-savvy side.

Best Mediterranean Restaurant Olea Mediterranean Kitchen 1992 Skibo Rd. 910-745-8415 or www.oleamediterranean.com This Greek and Mediterranean-inspired fresh, fast and casual restaurant is fairly new to Fayetteville, having opened in March of 2018. So the fact that it won a Best of Fayetteville award this year shows the owners and staff are doing something right. Whether you visit for fresh and healthy options, house-made spreads and dressings or its build-your-own service style, you need only try the food once to see why everyone is raving about Olea. One Trip Advisor reviewer said, "Pleasant atmosphere and outstanding customer service! They have the best Lamb Gyro I ever taste(d) after being in Germany(,) and the Greek salad, hummus supreme and the baklava are super delicious too. I will continue trying different plates, my husband and I really enjoy each visit to this awesome restaurant." If you're now dreaming of hummus and falafel, stop in to see how this new restaurant so quickly gained the city's heart (and taste buds).
