Fast service, food is almost always ready for take out within 10-15 minutes. Consistent great dishes are their Tom Kah, Tom Yum, and Pineapple Fried Rice.

Out late-ish (10 pm) and Mrs Murphy's pub kitchen was closed. We saw C'est Bien across the street was open til 11:30. Having missed dinner we thought--worth a shot. My Tom Yum soup and C'est Bien Crepe (was really like a good scallion pancake with shrimp) were great. My husband's Cashew Nut tofu dish was just as good. The three dishes were plenty for the two of us and the price was reasonable. Open late, nice people serving, really good food. Win-win-win. Lovely when necessity means a serendipitous find. We will return.

Always consistently delicious at a very fair price! Nothing fancy just good food. Speedy delivery.

I was excited to try this place last night and was extremely disappointed. It took a while for someone to notice we entered. Service wasn't the worst but it was really bad. I did not like the ambiance at all. It smelled like feet in a kiddy's ball pit. We ordered a few appetizers, shrimp pad thai, drunken noodles and horchata bubble tea. The shrimp pad thai was really mushy and only had a few shrimps, my boyfriend's drunken noodles barely had any noodles because the portion was ridiculously small, had he not ordered beef it wouldn't have any ingredients. The crab Rangoon was mostly wonton and a tiny amount of filling, crispy chicken wings were so small. It felt like a rushed presentation; visually. I expected more but was baffled and couldn't wait to leave. Worst Thai food experience ever.

C'est Bien Thai has never been an absolute favorite of mine but their late hours and fresh food had made it a regular in the group of Thai restaurants I frequent for years. I always thought of them as the place that makes thai food on the bland side but always uses fresh, higher quality ingredients. Their veggies are usually bright and crisp and plentiful. My habit has always been to buy my takeout here and add some thai red chili on my own, because as I said they tend to play it safe on spice. My most recent order here, a delivery order via Uber Eats last night, was completely out of character. The panang curry just tasted like coconut milk and soy sauce, and was so salty it was inedible. The vegetables were cooked to literal mush, and the duck in our duck curry was just a bunch of duck meat strings, with nothing to bite into. I am comfortable adjusting a sub par delivery order with some adjustments from my own kitchen, but this could not be saved. You can't uncook something or desalt it. I hate wasting food but this order could not be saved. It left a terrible taste in my mouth. Ubereats refunded me, so at least I'm not out of money. I really hope it was just an off night because this place used to be great and kept me fed during covid lockdown.

Frozen food, don’t go here !Was really excited to try this place and decided to eat inside. We got only appetizers to try before deciding on entrees and thank goodness we did because they were atrocious. I was excited to try the vegetable egg rolls but was angered to find that the filling was not just cold, but was icy. As if it was frozen and they just quickly fried it to hide it. Potstickers were mediocre at best, chicken satay was burnt and not flavorful. We quickly got the check without trying to eat more, this place was a joke

Ordered the pad see ew on Ubereats. When I received my order, there was a black hair on one of the pieces of chicken. Restaurant told me to contact Uber for a refund. Sucks because that was my dinner for tonight. I won't be eating it because I'm now grossed out and C'est Bien Thai did not offer to replace my order or do anything to fix the moment. Gross, gross, gross.

I visited ?? Thailand a long time ago, and have been looking for some authentic Thai food ever since. This is it. I highly recommend the Crab Rangoon. I also had the chicken fried rice, and it was very good as well. The people working there were friendly and courteous.Dietary restrictions: My wife is terribly allergic to gluten (the her whole face swells up, not the also eats bread kind) and they were able to accommodate her with no problems.

This Thai place has a really good pad thai, as well as their curry. This place has cozy and simple seating, and is a nice place to bring family.

Second time eating here and todays meal was not it. No flavor in the fried rice not even salt! You’re practically getting exactly as described in the food description. Rice, egg, onion, carrot, tomato that’s it! Don’t expect flavor of any kind. I’m giving them 2 stars because they’re always on time and the food is hot upon delivery.
