Bee Thai Kitchen

I ordered the Drunken Noodle with rice noodles, carrots, bell peppers, basil, onions, and chicken. The flavors were absolutely amazing, bold, well-balanced, and the basil gave it that authentic Thai kick. The portion size was generous, and everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. Definitely one of the best Thai meals I’ve had in a while! Ambience: The place is nice and clean, but it was super cold inside. If you tend to get chilly easily, bring a jacket. Overall, the food alone makes this spot a winner. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Thai cuisine!

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!

Excellent little Thai place. Had the Larb Gai, Spicy Basil and Curry Noodle (khoa soi) and everything was very good. The spicy basil had such deep flavor it was excellent. Order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Spice trays and utensils at the bar, self serve. Clean and quiet. Will be going back and would recommend giving it a try!

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 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!

***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.

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.

This is a great restaurant this is the first time I've eaten here my family invited me to eat here would come back and eat here again

Yum yum yum. Ashevilles only Thai spot (worth going to) The orders we placed have come to the table wrong both times we dined there so I can't in good conscience say 5 stars. It's also a bit pricy for a counter order. But economy as it is, who's to argue. The inside is just a regular restaurant, Nothing special and nothing bad. It's cozy enough. I'll go back again for sure.

This is a great local spot that has a plethora of vegan options! I can't speak to the ambiance because I've only had takeout (several times) but I can say that the food is always great and the folks that work there are knowledgeable. My only note is that the tofu I've had has never been cooked. I really like tofu in my Thai dishes when it's even a little cooked, but this tofu has been pretty bland and overall raw. Still good though!

We truly enjoyed our overall experience at Bee Thai. My boyfriend and I both ordered the drunken noodles with chicken (lunch special) served with wonton soup. Everything came out steaming hot and fresh. You order at the register and the food was brought to our table. We also received complimentary bottles of water. Fairly priced at just $15 with sizable portions. A funky, festive vibe as well.

We chose this place because of its review. What a disappointment. Portions small and the food subpar. The Pad Prik was flavorless with overcooked vegetables in a watery sauce. The Cashew Nut dish was watery and overly swee. The spring rolls were likely from a package that I could buy in any grocery store. They came with a watered down sauce, as did the tiny crab Rangoon. They likely were a prepackaged item. Wasted my money a won't go back. This won't go down as a pleasant memory

Delicious food. I would definitely go back! Order your food at the counter when you arrive and they bring it to your table as it's ready. The people who brought out our food were very kind and helpful. There is a water station with silverware. We observed others helping themselves, and followed course. Lovely ambiance! It wasn't too busy and we were very happy with our delicious food! I got the massaman curry and my husband got green curry. Both are medium spicy, so if you prefer less spice-ask!

I've been to Bee Thai several times for lunch and the food is consistently delicious.

Great atmosphere and the cashew nut with chicken was one of the best I've ever had! Someone at the table get it and share!

Awesome food! I had the pineapple fried rice and pad thai. Both were excellent! We took the food to go so no experience with the service. The food was some of the best I have had!

Best Thai food I've had in Asheville. I had the Khao Soi, best Thai food I've ever had in my life, and my wife got Panamg Curry, and it was excellent. I'll be back, for sure!

Wonderful Thai food prepared perfectly and fast for a working lunch. In and out in under an hour.

Awesome Thai place. Food was delicious, service was excellent and very fast. Love the vibe of this place. Definitely we will be back!

I was craving Tom yum soup so we stopped in. I like a less sweet soup, so this didn't hit the spot for me. However they were fast and friendly. We are outside and that was pleasant. It is an order at the counter type of place. It's really nice that they have deli style to go containers in the restaurant with the water and other utensils. It was also fairly good value for the price.

The vibe felt a lot like the previous Thai restaurant here, which was nice. Service was good and food came out relatively quickly. Alas, the food wasn't as good in our party's opinion. For just above-average (but solid) Thai food, we felt the price point was a bit high. Not sure we'd return, based on the value. Great spot, otherwise.

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!!
