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

Very disappointing… didn’t enjoy it. Food was dry and lacks flavor.

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.

It's good that LITTLE BEE is closing. I've been a customer for many years. I was first in line to order when they opened on 2/2/24. I paid $80 for my order and ended up waiting 25 minutes while other orders were filled. The scene was immediately chaotic. When I asked about my order having been the first customer there, I was told to be patient. The atmosphere was frenetic. Waiters hurrying phones ringing off the hook, throwing orders into bags, still waiting. I got the order, got home and it was someone else's order. I don't even know what it was. We threw it out. When I called to tell them the mix up, I was told "I can't talk to you now. You'll have to call back later when we're not so busy." We had soup and I called American Express to cancel my payment. I hope the new owners sharpen the saw on their customer relationships and organization.
My family won't go back until then to see if improvements have been made.

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 .

We love this place and order from here 1-2 times a week. However the spice levels are extremely inconsistent - I LOVE spicy food and have tried all the spice levels. I usually go with a 3 or a 4 and then add my own chilies at home, but have also tried the 5. Tonight the order I placed for a 3 is spicier than the 5s I have had in the past. Honestly it’s one of the hottest things ive ever eaten and im Indian. I called hoping they could remake it for me as it seems like someone spilled the chillies in making it inedible, but they just said sometimes there’s variation in the batches of chillies. Shouldn’t you try the seasoning you’re adding to your food?! Super bummed as this was our go- to multiple times a week and is otherwise great.

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.
