Not bad for Thai in Asheville. Shrimp Taco was weird but not bad. Chicken dumpling was hearty. Spring roll was missing tofu or something, especially for the price. Drunken noodle wasn’t bad. Simple ordering at counter and seat yourself. Personally, I think if prices are over $15 for a plate, you should be served.

I love Bee Thai!

I've seen some poo-pooing about the counter service, but I think that's a good move in such a small restaurant. It would be awkward if there were servers trying to weave through the tables!

I've only ever ordered to-go, but the dining area is cute, and there are about 4 barstools as well. I also ALWAYS get the Pad Thai! One day I will try the Drunken Noodle, but what can I say -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

The owner is super nice, and the staff are always friendly. It's rarely very loud, and they have a great drink selection, including Burial Surf Wax on tap! I also highly recommend the Thai Tea. Bonus points for paper straws!

***UPDATE***

Sooo, we all know this happens with Asheville restaurants.

I did lunch today, and it was “mmmhh”.

The wanton soup was “ok”. The Pad Thai was, again, “ok”, maybe a 6 on a 10 scale.

So, I think it is import to remember this, even a favourite restaurant can have an off moment.

… Certainly, try this restaurant…. But your mileage/experience may vary. I am guessing you will have a 7’ish, experience.

Take Care…

I have only “dined in”. I consider myself a Pad Thai snob… this is really good Pad Thai! The drunken noodle is my favorite … this is a must try when in Asheville.

The location is more oriented for takeout than dining in. You order and pay, and then they bring the food. I ordered the larb chicken appetizer and the chicken penang curry with extra vegetables. . Unfortunately, they bought everything all at Once. The larb was just OK. Iceberg lettuce, onions and chicken. Not enough flavor to make it notable. The penang curry was flavorful, but the chicken was dry and chewy. Definitely not worth the >$30 price tag

Lovely people and yummy food. They have pure vegetarian versions of Tom Kha soup and Thai green curry without the fish paste issue :) Opted for Thai hot and was deliciously hot and nice

Great low-key spot for Thai food. Came here with a large group (6 people) and it was lovely. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The Red Curry and Chicken Pad Thai were both excellent. Perfect spice level — spice adds flavor but does not overwhelm your palate. Excellent food. The fresh rolls (rice paper and veggies) were underwhelming, and the way they cut them make them harder to eat; it would be nice if they added shrimp to it.

10/10 would go back! Very cool spot.

We were visiting from out of town and wanted some pad Thai. We also ordered Tom Yum soup. Both were 5 ⭐️amazing! So delicious!

We visited this place on July 4th. Everything we ordered was delicious. Tofu was fresh and soft .
Pannag curry was very tasty!!

We ended up going again the next day for dinner 😍

10/10 for everything!

My husband just got a pick up order for Pad See Ew for 7pm. When he arrived, they said they would call him up when it was ready. After some time, he asked how much longer it would be and the girl said she didn’t know. Then after 20 minutes he decided to look at where they were serving the pick up orders and there was a bag with his name on it. We have no clue how long it had been there but it was cold. Terrible system and made us over 35 minutes late for our second pick up order so everyone’s food is cold. Thankfully their food is delicious.

Pad Thai was fine. Asked for tofu and veggies and got a couple of pieces of sliced carrot, a couple pieces of broccoli and maybe 5 small bites of tofu. Not impressed for a $25 take out order. Just ordered the same dish from Typhoon Noodle with more tofu and half the price 🤷‍♀️ I get that this is a downtown location but even Thai food in Chicago and New York is better priced for what you get

I’ve been gluten free for 25 years and I’ve always enjoyed their chicken pad Thai. So amazing!

One of my favorite Thai places in Asheville! The staff have always been friendly and helpful (counter service). The dishes are very flavorful and a good variety.

Bee Thai is our favorite Thai restaurant in the area! We’ve had both takeout and dined in, and every time the food is delicious, the service is prompt and friendly, and the experience is pleasant. The restaurant is not overly fancy but it is comfortable, they have a large patio, and parking is easy. This is our go-to Thai spot and it should be yours too!

PS don’t miss the Khao Soi - it’s exceptional!!

Delicious and great prices. Fast service too

My team and I have been eating there several times days this week while working close by and basically tried almost everything.

This authentic Thai restaurant is so good and reasonably priced! I’ve been hunting for a good Phad Thai since Doc Cheys hasn’t been around and this place has it! Not only that their other dishes of Curries and appetizers have been consistently fantastic as well and opened my eyes to other Thai dishes to really enjoy and even potentially become new favorites!

Service has been great and timing on getting food, you can tell they make it with love and care and keeps us coming back for more!

We will be coming back many times, thank you Bee Thai for being here!

I love Bee Thai!

Sooo good!! Panang curry was the best we’ve had since we’ve been in Thailand :)

I only rated the service 3 stars because you order from a counter and then the food is brought to your table. It's not a bad experience, but not full service either. The food is excellent. I had green curry. Very good. The steamed dumpling appetizer was also very good.

A Mixed Bag of Flavors: My Recent Experience at Bee Thai Kitchen

If you're looking for a place that does some dishes really well but falls short on others, this might just be the spot for you. Here’s a breakdown of my experience:

The Positives:

Let’s start on a high note. Whoever crafted the Ice Thai Tea and Coffee at this place deserves a round of applause. It was beautifully done, and honestly, it might be one of the best versions I’ve had so far. Smooth, flavorful, and just the right balance of sweetness. Please, for the love of all things caffeinated and delicious, don’t change this recipe!

The Gyoza and Crab Rangoon appetizers were another win. The gyoza were fried to perfection: thin, crispy, and grease-free. The Crab Rangoon, while not exactly brimming with crab, had a delicate, crunchy exterior with just enough cream cheese filling to make it a decent bite. I wouldn't mind ordering these again.

The Mixed Feelings:

Now, for the Drunken Noodles. My guest ordered this dish, and while the presentation was fine, the flavor was missing the heat that they were looking for.

The Negatives:

As for the Appetizers, the gyoza and crab rangoon were letdowns in terms of flavor. While they were fried beautifully—crispy with no grease—the chicken gyoza was more about cabbage than chicken. The flavor was pretty lackluster, and there was nothing to excite the taste buds. As for the crab rangoon, well, it was a very generous thimble of cream cheese, with just the faintest whisper of crab. Honestly, I’m not sure the crab even made it to the filling—maybe its essence was caught in a breeze somewhere?

Moving on to the Main Dish: I had the Pad Thai, and, well, what can I say? It wasn’t great. It looked pretty on the plate, but the flavor was just sweet. That’s it—sweet and not much else. I kept wondering if I had accidentally ordered a dessert. The beef was tough, bland, and overcooked. It was one of those moments when you find a forgotten piece of meat in your fridge, take a sniff, and think, "Hmm, it still smells fine." Sadly, it was just as unseasoned as it was unappetizing. No salt, no pepper, just... sad beef chunks that really needed some help.

Notes for Future Guests:

A couple of things to keep in mind before you head over. First, seating is a bit of a scramble. There are only a few tables, so be prepared for a bit of a frenzy to grab one before someone else does. Also, if you're hoping for a quiet, intimate meal, think again. The seating is very close together, and you’ll likely be elbow-to-elbow with the next table. If you’re sitting near the window, be ready for some disruption from the line of people waiting to order—they’ll be bumping into your table constantly.

Lastly, if you’re someone with accessibility needs, this place might not be the best option. It’s not wheelchair friendly, and even those with a walker will have a hard time navigating the tight spaces without bumping into someone or something.

Final Thoughts:

This place definitely has potential, but it feels like a hit-or-miss experience. While some dishes really shine (like the Ice Thai Tea and Coffee), others miss the mark, leaving me to wonder if they could use a little more consistency in the kitchen. If you’re nearby and craving some decent appetizers or a refreshing drink, it might be worth a visit. But, if you’re after a full, satisfying meal with depth and seasoning, you might want to consider other options.

Stopped in for dinner while downtown on a Wednesday. We hadn’t eaten here in a year or two. Surprisingly, the restaurant was not busy at all (6pm-ish). The cashier was very pleasant and attentive. The food is as good as we remember, but it was quite slow coming out. There was only one cook making food for the diners and carry-out customers.

Great food, and plenty of gluten-free options.

Massaman curry was delicious, delectable, indubitably!

Yummy food! We enjoyed drunken noodles, wonton soup, and mango sticky rice!

There is some street parking in front or it is a short walk from Wall St parking garage.

The pea flower lemonadewas extremely good...beautiful color!

I had heard from others that this was their favorite Thai place in Asheville, until changes in ownership downgraded it from "favorite" to "still really good." I like the menu options, a good variety, and cheaper appetizers. The Tum Kha soup was more coconuty and sweet and less lemongrass than I'm used to, but still good. The Pad See Ew had good noodles but the chicken was lacking in flavor.

Food is excellent and great service too! Love the thai basil chicken! Fresh taste!!

Bee Thai Kitchen is the best Thai in Asheville. Friendly staff, Thai owned and every meal I have had has been excellent. I especially like Khao Soi.

Lovely people and yummy food. They have pure vegetarian versions of Tom Kha soup and Thai green curry without the fish paste issue :) Opted for Thai hot and was deliciously hot and nice

Since the takeover of new ownership, the quality has gone way down. Today I had a pork masaman curry: the sauce itself was excellent, but the pork was like leather and the potatoes were almost raw. They were so hard I couldn’t eat them.
I miss Little Bee - it was so much better.

This is one of the best curry dishes I've ever enjoyed! I think I want to just order the menu. Phenomenal

The ‘healthy roll’ or spring roll is essentially iceberg lettuce with a half a slice of basil - overall mediocre at best. The green curry is so spicy that it’s inedible. The online ordering system asks you about spice level, but they do not in person. The most unique brown rice I’ve seen, but not bad. Overall value isn’t there and quality of food is mediocre at best.

So I was really excited to go eat at the newer Thai bee that took over little bee Thai. I am really sad to say that while they may have kept the name (and the previous reviews), the quality of the food is not the same. We ordered 2 entrees, an appetizer, and a soup. Unfortunately, none of it was good. The curry was the consistency of water and lack luster at best. The potatoes in it were undercooked. The tofu was bland and unflavored (and we LIKE tofu) -and it was greasy. Pad Thai was slightly more edible -but only just. We didn’t finish anything but the fresh rolls and they were meh. And it gave us significant belly aches after. So.. the name may be similar, but the quality of the food just isn’t. I sincerely hope they figure it out- they had big shoes to fill for sure.

The location is more oriented for takeout than dining in. You order and pay, and then they bring the food. I ordered the larb chicken appetizer and the chicken penang curry with extra vegetables. . Unfortunately, they bought everything all at Once. The larb was just OK. Iceberg lettuce, onions and chicken. Not enough flavor to make it notable. The penang curry was flavorful, but the chicken was dry and chewy. Definitely not worth the >$30 price tag

Edible but I would not eat here unless I had to. In addition to getting my order wrong (chicken instead of tofu, spice instead of mild), the so-called customer favorite curry-noodle dish is incredibly boring. The item of interest in the description is "pickled mustard greens," but I was given literally two tiny shreds of mustard green (are mustard greens really that expensive for the restaurant to obtain?). Other than that, it's just noodles and meat and a pile of onions. Really not worth $17.

We were visiting from out of town and wanted some pad Thai. We also ordered Tom Yum soup. Both were 5 ⭐️amazing! So delicious!

Love my local Thai place! Never had a bad meal.Lovely Thai ladies doing deliciousness in the kitchen😋

Authentic. Delicious.

Food taste good but should be training your server how to carry the food to the guest on the table.

Wonderful and flavorful Thai restaurant. Staff is great and food is excellent.

Bummed. I rarely critique a restaurant unless it’s a scenario like this. So if they bought out little bee’s spot and kind of kept the name why didn’t they keep the food quality? We ordered medium spice chicken pad Thai and drunken noodles. So they brought tofu with 0 spice!? so we waited again but got our order. To put it plainly it was schlock. Noodles were bland dishwater flavored jelly and the sauce definitely tasted like it was out of a can. Pad Thai had a a flavor that reminded me of how cat food smells. On the way to the restroom I saw the spice stock rack which had Walmart great value GMO peanuts and the biggest container of MSG I’ve ever seen. YAY I wasted $46 and now have msg gut. I will say the patio seating is still nice if you want to just go have a beer.

Really excellent thai food. Added little touches and garnishes take this to the next level.

Omg yummy! Still open and exquisite food. Affordable. Delicious. Excellent pad Thai. My teen and I love this place 😋

We visited this place on July 4th. Everything we ordered was delicious. Tofu was fresh and soft .
Pannag curry was very tasty!!

We ended up going again the next day for dinner 😍

10/10 for everything!

Heavy and over sweetened food that sits poorly in the stomach

Great low-key spot for Thai food. Came here with a large group (6 people) and it was lovely. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The Red Curry and Chicken Pad Thai were both excellent. Perfect spice level — spice adds flavor but does not overwhelm your palate. Excellent food. The fresh rolls (rice paper and veggies) were underwhelming, and the way they cut them make them harder to eat; it would be nice if they added shrimp to it.

10/10 would go back! Very cool spot.

The food is so so good I highly recommend it! The red curry with fried tofu and the Thai iced tea are amazing. Staff is so friendly too :) check it out.

2 minutes into my lunch special wonton soup and came here to say it is outstanding.

Extremely good! Chill and very nice ambience. Legit and fresh Thai food.

I’ve had some of the best Panang curry ever at Little Bee! I highly recommend trying this place. Also they have outside seating overlooking a lovely green area!

I was skeptical at first having been a regular at this location's previous Thai restaurant which served delicious and authentic Thai food. And I am happy to say that this restaurant's food did not disappoint. They have a pretty diverse menu so there is pretty much something for everyone. I had the Penang Curry and spring rolls which were both outstanding. I liked that they had little bowls of hot pepper sauce which you can add to your dish. The ambiance is pretty much the same as the previous restaurant and the service is excellent! There is still outside seating which was perfect for our dogs. We are very much looking forward to our next visit!!

One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever been to. Great food and great staff.

Incredible! Had a curry w tofu, so soo good! Happy to find another place that also has vegan choices:)

Delicious pineapple fried rice with chx and shrimp served in pineapple ceramic dish

We were long-time patrons of Little Bee Thai disappointed they were closing but happy for the owners who likely needed a rest. We let Bee Thai settle in a bit and just went there today for lunch,
I am so happy to report that it exceeded expectations for all three of us who dined there this afternoon.
My sister and I got the Panang Curry and my husband went with the Red Curry. My husband and sister shared the calamari and they loved it saying the batter was stellar. When this establishment was Little Bee Thai, we loved the Spring rolls. I am pleased to report that they remain delicious.
The new owner visited our table. He was gracious and interested in our take on the food. We were happy to tell him what a grand job the kitchen was doing and how much we'd enjoyed the lunch.
He kindly made us a dessert and brought it to the table. Such a nice gesture and very appreciated. It was a sticky rice/mango offering and we recommend it heartily.
Little Bee Thai is not a study in fancy aesthetics but it's clean, serviceable, has both inside and outside seating, reliable, fresh, hot, really tasty and reasonable Thai Food. There are lunch offerings and dinner offerings (both available at lunch.)
Go there, you'll be glad you did.

This place had some big shoes to fill. Maybe they’ll grow into them. Food is good but not great. Staff and service on point

I wanted to add a positive review to counter some of the recent critiques. Let me preface by saying we’ve been devoted regulars at Little Bee Thai for 6 years and, of course, were very sad to lose them. I tried the new Bee Thai for lunch on their grand opening day, and wasn’t overly impressed but decided to give them a second chance after they’d had a little time to settle in. I’m SO glad I did! My husband and I just had lunch here and everything was delicious. Very fresh and flavorful. Great lunch specials, wonderful service, and nice music/ambiance. We are very excited to come back and would encourage everyone to give it a try (or, as in my case, a second try)!

Impossible to place a to go order because their phone is always “breaking up” this has happened both times I tried to place a to go order

Something has changed here. I have eaten here many times, last time maybe 6 months ago and it has always been phenomenal. The curry was completely different than before, even the rice was not as good. what happened?!?!?

I don't know if it's what I ordered or because of new owners/slight name change of the restaurant but this place took a nose dive.

I might give it one more chance before leaving town by ordering a different dish but if i don't it won't be a loss.

So sad too. I really looked forward to coming back here as The Little Bee Thai.

Now Bee Thai Kitchen.

We love Thai food and Bee Thai exceeded all expectations! Staff was friendly and helpful food was reasonably priced and delicious. We had the Panang curry medium spiced and it was perfectly flavored. Highly recommended!

DELICIOUS!!

Unfortunetly, this is not the Little Bee Thai that most have reviewed but a new resturant of a similar name and new owner. Tried the new menu twice, both times I asked for "Thai Hot" as they said they only have 3 levels now and that is the hottest. Both times it was mild with little heat and a lot less veggies :(

I really wanted to like this place but the food was a little lackluster imo. My tofu drunken noodles were okay, what confused me was the bell peppers still having all seeds (might be personal preference but I really didn’t like the texture). My friend would give her pork pad Thai a 3.5/5. We’ve been to better Thai restaurants…also a little overpriced for what you get.

Of the 542 reviews only an handful are for Bee Thai the others are for Little Bee Thai - different owner and different food just both were Thai. The old owner transferred their accounts over to the new owner so it looks like this restaurant has been around longer than it has. Bee Thai has only been around since March 2024

The food here is either too sweet or too bland. Not sure how both happen. Maybe they are just too new and need some time but I won't be going back.

Got the massaman curry- it was absolutely delicious 🤤

Not the same place. My drunken noodles barely had sauce or veggies on it. And the tofu I had was barely cooked. Would not recommend. My friend also got a soup that did not taste good.

Went here for lunch in a weekday. Busy. Grab a menu inside the front door, order and pay in advance. Grab a table or take it to go. Had red curry, rice, spring rolls and soda. $20. Owner is new, March 2024. Nice man from Thailand. Recommended.

The food and service were excellent. Good crowd simple atmosphere.

Tried Pad Thai, Curry, and Pineapple Rice. Not a lot of taste or quality. I won’t be coming back.

AWFUL. Nothing like Little Bee Thai. More like mall food court food.

I looove Bee Thai! Love that the new chef is honoring the tradition of excellence in Thai food that Little Bee laid out ahead of him, while bringing a new spin with a menu full of a mix of traditional Thai options and classics (like my favorite pineapple rice:)). Super quick on takeout orders too. Love this place- will be a regular.

they have amazing mango sticky rice!!!!!

Going to miss you when your gone!

Excellent green curry!!! Super cute ambience inside and it was packed at lunch on a weekday. The staff were all working fast and efficiently. Highly recommend it!

Finally made it over here. Only need to learn they would be closing at the end of the month. So sad! Apparently the owner is retiring though, so cheers to that.

Since this place is open, pretty limited hours, it’s usually slammed. They have a nice little outdoor patio, but it was quite cold today. We opted for indoors and we only had to wait a few minutes for a seat.

I ordered the shrimp pad, Thai and a drink. I was pleased to see they had coconut water. Two Jin alcoholic drinks and two pad Thai rang us up at $52 with tip. Dang that is not cheap. I know eating out is expensive these days but that feels pretty exorbitant. One pro and con about this food is that it’s actually appropriately sized. So there’s not really a whole lot of leftovers which is a bummer but also, it’s nice to see a restaurant serving appropriately sized food.

The pad Thai itself was an overload of sauce. Way too saucy for my likes. It felt almost like a soup at some point. I will say that the quality was really great though. The flavors tasted amazing and there was a good amount of egg and peanuts, which are served on the side and shrimp .

Best Thai restaurant in Asheville hands down.

The noodle and curry dishes are so, so consistent and delicious! But I also think they have the best wings in town. Lil’ spicy. Super crispy but no batter. No ranch dipping sauce, people. One flavor: amazing.

Food is great but it's definitely one of those do it all yourself restaurants

The Thai food here is really good! This place is down to earth, not fancy but also not bad. Great for a quick food stop!

Great Thai food. Food was great, little busy but got a table on Friday night easily.

Great authentic Thai food place

Place was small, but had outside seating which was nice. Had dinner here with two friends. I ordered spicy pork basil with eggs added to it and my two friends ordered red curry and spicy see ew noodles. I’ve had better pork basil dishes. I’d give it 2/5. The eggs made it better. I tried my friends dishes too. The see ew noodles were alright. Not much flavor to it. You can definitely taste the spice in it for sure! I give it a 2/5 also. The red curry was actually the best one out of the dishes we ordered. Flavor was on point, spice level was there even without adding extra spice in there. I recommended no spice to non spice eaters. I give it a 4/5. I also ordered veggie spring rolls for us to try. That was good. 3/5! You can purchase bottled drinks or alcohol or get a cup with water for free. Then service was fast and friendly. I probably would not return here. But hey, you gotta try different places to know what’s to your liking!

My first time eating at a Thai restaurant was at Ashille( Little Bee Thai ) it was the perfect choice. The Food was so Delucious and served warm and appropriatly. I also met the manager who was very Polight and Welcoming, He ensure if we were enjoying our meal and visit. My friend and i were also pleased to know that the cows were privatly owned and Organically fed as been told by the Owner through out a short and breif introduction and Greeting. The restroom was very clean and well equipt for use.. I felt as if i was actually visiting Thailand due to the atmosphere and Entertained Decors and History sorrounding the Resraurant.. And i also notice within the Team in the kitchen area, that was actually visual, Their was a Thai National lady preparing the meals with a warm and lovely Smile as she enjoyed putting love and her Cultural Cuisine into the Menu.. I felt even more sure that i will enjoy this. The overal Service was very Satisfied by us!. I will definately visit again and add this to my recommend to others .

We both loved our authentic Little Bee Thai meal, served outdoors in beautiful weather. There are multiple vegan options on the menu.

Steaming hot and deliciously spicy Chicken Panang Curry! Served with white rice (no option for brown rice). Service is friendly and every plate nearby looked just as delectable!

drunken Noodles was great

Delicious food!!! If you like authentic and spicy Thai then I highly recommend this place. I usually order a 4/5 spice level but I got a 2 here and it was perfect. Flavors were delicious and employees were kind. We were also able to split an entree (2 people) with meat and tofu. They do a model of where you order at the counter and they bring to the table. They have self serve water as well as beers and wines. Word to the wise: the IPAs were old, but the Thai beers were good. Either plan for a bottle of wine or take out if you plan to drink with your food!

This is our favorite Thai restaurant in Asheville!!!! Fresh local high quality ingredients, incredible flavors, no msg —- absolutely delish!

Small lovely place! Wanted to sit out on patio but it's a smoking patio for nearby businesses so took it for takeout and it was amazing! Trust the menu!

The best Thai food in Asheville! Big dinner portions, fresh and delicious. The owner is super nice. Check their Facebook page for menu updates

Our favorite Thai spot in town.

Great place. Went with a group of 10, servers were glad to help accommodate. Food was delicous for all of us. Got to meet the owner. Everyone was very welcoming, especially since I've never had tai food before. Definitely will visit again

Food tasted almost like authentic Thai food. Family loved it.

Food was amazing! I would highly recommended. The menu is not broad like other restaurants which I think gives the opportunity to craft the recipes they offer.

Some of the best Thai food we have had. We have been to Thailand twice and can tell you, you guys are on point.

Picked up dinner from Little Bee-super tasty pad Thai and curry, staff were really friendly and helpful!

My husband picked up takeout, and the staff was very helpful with his food allergies.
He got the spicy beef noodles, and I had chicken pad thai. Both dishes had a ton of black pepper- which I’ve never seen at a Thai restaurant. If it weren’t for the black pepper, both dishes would probably have tasted good!
I do not recommend if you’re looking for authentic Thai food.

Arrived 6:30 on a Saturday night and was lucky to be 2nd in line to order and find an inside table because 15 minutes later, there was quite the line. My Thai Tea was spot on and not too sweet. The Panang Curry with Tofu left me wishing I’d opted to order it with chicken- tofu was thin, dried out, hard- like it was fried yesterday and used tonight. The curry sauce was amazing. Spring rolls were delicious as was my husband’s halibut. We enjoyed the background music and watching the hustle and bustle of a busy Saturday night , but one more employee focused on customers dining was needed for things like takeaway boxes, more napkins, etc… plan to go back but just disappointed by the tofu- typically Thai places prepare it the best.

The fried halibut with Thai basil curry sauce was OUTSTANDING!

Stir-Fry chicken was fantastic and outside seating.

The best Thai food in Asheville by a mile. (And I like a lot of the other Thai restaurants in town!)

Loved having an outdoor seating option. Parking much easier since they are not in the core downtown area. Shrimp Pad Thai was yummy! Going to order it spicy next time!

Sehr lecker. Sehr scharf. Super netter Service.
Könnte etwas sauberer sein

Eine tolle Erfahrung mit super leckerem Essen und einer sehr netten Bedienung

Poor quay of food. We ordered Broccoli chicken and vegetables star fry and vegan spring rolls in dinner. We had severe stomach ache at night. Had to take medicine to bring it down. We both had bad stomach. Something wrong with the food.

We got takeout.
Our food was good, but there was no convenient way to eat our meals out of the awkward containers, and the utensils provided were not quite appropriate. For example, my wife had green curry, and they gave us a fork, when a spoon is needed, and you really need a bowl. None of this was a deal killer, since the food itself was above average.
My basil chicken stir fry had good wok hei, but was a bit salty.
If we are in the area again, we will give them another try for sure!

This is place is amazing!! I got the spicy noodles with chicken. It was yummy with such deep flavors and just a little kick. Perfect balance of yum and pizzazz

I LIKE THEIR FRIED TOFO 😋 I typically don't like fried tofu. I compare it to burnt fried egg - and I do Not like burnt fried egg. I forgot to ask for it steamed at LBT, but was pleasantly surprised after I gave it a try anyway. Props, LBT 👊😋

What a surprise from a goggle find for thai near me! This place was amazing. If you like spicy food this is the place for you. I had the spicy noodles with chicken and broccoli. So yum! The portions are big and it was delicious!

Excellent!

I've eaten at dozens of Thai restaurants around the country and never had better Panang Curry. It's legendary!

Update: came back to try another special. This time, NC grouper tempura in green curry. Absolutely phenomenal. And mango cart on tap was a perfect pairing. I might go back tonight and splurge yet again. Little Bee, take all my money.

Original: I splurged and got the curry scallop special. No regrets!

Scallops were cooked perfectly. Just a hint of resistance and then melt in your mouth. Broccoli tender - but not soft. Tasty curry.

I would get at least level 4 if you are looking for something quite spicy.

Incredible food and wonderful staff

Best Thai food in town. I've been a fan since their gas station/Brew Pump days. Simply put, great quality food.

We stopped in for a late lunch on Wednesday and it wasn’t too busy. We were lucky to get a parking spot in front.
We had the Pad Thai with chicken and yellow curry with chicken. Both were very good, and my wife says that the curry might be her new favorite.
Our food was delivered quickly. The staff was pleasant and efficient.
They have a good selection of draft beers as well as bottles and cans.
There is a good amount of indoor seating,and there is a large outdoor seating area.

The food is wonderful the folks that work there are fantastic they could not be any nicer just a great Asheville place to hang out and eat.

What a experience. Fantastic delicious food, great ambiance and friendly staff. This is a must eat in asheville. Well be back very soon!

Absolutely tremendous food with the basil shrimp stir fry and the curry chicken being my favorites. If you can only eat at one place in Asheville it must be Little Bee Thai.

Just ate at this Thai restaurant and I can only give it 2 stars. Although my wife’s meal was good and tasty I ordered the Phad Thai and it was awful. Worst I have had in the many places where I have eaten Thai. Decent restaurant just stay away from the Phad Thai. Real bad.

The most delicious, authentic panang I've had in Asheville!

Amazing food at a great price point.

Amazing environment

Food is always amazing!!! Cashew pork on Thursdays is my absolute favorite!

I’ve been hearing about Little Bee for a while now, all high praises. My kiddo is just starting to branch out to eat new foods, so I thought she’d enjoy pad Thai. Unfortunately, it was, I hate to say, the worst I’ve ever had. While I’ve never been to Thailand, I’ve eaten Thai food in New York, Boston, San Francisco, LA, Atlanta, and more. Point is, it’s not my first experience. There are substantially better spots even here in Asheville. The noodles were broken, overcooked, and gummy. The sauce seemed strangely thickened, either from cornstarch or the starch from the noodles simmering so long. I’m not really sure what their definition of the dish is, but I am sure I won’t be going back. I seldom post reviews, and when I do it’s because I really enjoyed something. This meal was so bad I had no choice.

Delicious! We order Little Bee regularly & you just cannot go wrong here.

Excellent as usual

Simply amazing. Great food, great staff. Just go.

Food is outstanding.

Food was amazing!!!!! Stir fry with chicken vegetables just right not soggy , great sauce, tofu and mushrooms delicious as well and everything was made fast!!! <3

Excellent service and very good food. Street parking

I ordered takeout from Little Bee Thai on 12/28/2022. I was highly impressed with the Chicken Pad Thai, Chicken Stir Fry, and the Yellow Curry (Chicken). The depths of flavors were amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. For me and my family, Little Bee Thai is now our favorite restaurant in Asheville.

The food was good, but I could barely hear the person taking my order in the phone. All I could hear was the kitchen and people talking.

We had a party of 17 and decided to just stop by and grab some quick food and it was amazing. They managed to accommodate all of us, food was great, service was great, and super friendly staff.

All the staff was super friendly and got the food out quickly. Tasted great.

Really, really good Thai food - flavors were all on point. Just be aware, dishes are HOT - so order accordingly. Service was quick and friendly.

Do it. DO IT!!!

Amatuer chefs who use too much salt and don't understand the subtelty of real Thai food.Why are you ruining these good ingredients? Salt can always be added later to suit the taste. This place is not authentic and I'm amazed they are still in business.

Excellent food in a little dive bar setting

The food was great and the customer service was even better!

Casual, order at counter. A little pricey for Thai but I think the quality and flavor justify the $$.

Cozy spot with fast and tasty Thai cuisine.

Great food. Got takeout but restaurant looked fun and inviting. Staff was super friendly.

Always delicious! Friendly staff

Food needs more work, taste is far from what they advertise. Outside tables chairs could use pillows and runners, you can see the rust on them. Service was good, people are nice

Had multiple times chicken pad thai directly from Phuket(Thailand), numerous restaurants in Georgia state and through Europe, this is hands down the worst variant from all the above. Meat tastes like it's just boiled, noodles have a plastichy texture..everything is just blunt ..covered with sugar . Guys work on your dishes and I'll improve my rating!

Yum! Had the Panang basil curry! Excellent

Very simple decor inside, some outside tables, really good Thai food. We almost always get take out dinners.

Quick service on a Thursday at 1:15.
Best Thai Basil I ever had. They cook w real chicken & beautiful fresh basil & plenty of it, nicely spiced A good value for $13. I’ll definitely return!!!

Best Thai we’ve had in some time!

I had a scallop curry special that was to die for! I definitely will return again! The owner checked in with me and my dining partner which was also very nice. Staff is super friendly!

Beat Thai in Asheville! Friendly staff and nice owner. I’m here often for the curry and spring rolls!
