What started as a promising takeout meal ended up being one of the most regrettable dining experiences I've had in a while. We ordered a pork bánh mì with spicy sauce, rare steak pho, shrimp summer rolls, and a milk tea with tapioca. On pickup, everything looked fresh and appetizing. The bánh mì had a crisp baguette, the pho was flavorful, and the summer rolls appeared well-prepared. During the meal, we genuinely enjoyed the food and had no immediate complaints. Unfortunately, the next day, both of us had diarrhea. While it's impossible to know exactly what caused it, this was the only meal we shared, making the timing difficult to ignore. Food can look and taste great in the moment, but food safety and proper handling are just as important as flavor. Given our experience afterward, I can't say I'd feel comfortable returning.

Pork Banhmi - Viet Street Sub- Sandwich
Joshua L.

Bee Banh Mi is a quick, cute counter-service Vietnamese cafe. Sparse and simple inside. Staff was friendly and ordering was easy. I had the grilled pork Banh Mi. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. Bread was flaky with a chewy texture. Not the most traditional or authentic Banh Mi I've ever had, but it hit the spot for a quick lunch. Not quite a 5-star experience overall. But a very solid 4+. I will definitely be back for some pho and look forward to updating my review soon.

The banh mis are now my go to healthy and quick meal, literally so good!!! I got the pork banh mi and I knew it was going to be good as soon as I opened the box. Packed with veggies and meat, this is a well balanced sandwich with bright flavors in each bite. This is a chill local spot with plenty of seating inside and would be great for a casual dinner or lunch.

Pork rice plate

Bee Banh Mi is a very solid Vietnamese option with some fantastic food. Tucked away in a strip mall that is just off of the main road, this place seems to be a bit of a hidden gem. I mean, if I didn't know this restaurant existed, then I'd have no reason to ever travel down the side road that this place is on. But it is definitely worth it, they've got some great options and an item that you wouldn't expect to be amazing. As their name would suggest, Bee Banh Mi does a pretty decent job with their Banh Mi. I order the pork Banh Mi and it was a pretty hefty sandwich, but was well put together. The texture balance was spot on, the bread was crisp and not too soggy on the inside. The vegetables were fresh and had a nice crunch to them and the meat was tender. The flavors were also complimentary of each other. The pickled veggies countered the fattiness of the pork and the pork itself could be individually identified and had a nice bit of spice to it. I've also had their rice plate with pork. It came with a salad and some fish sauce. I think it was a pretty good dish, but the Banh Mi is a better bang for your buck. Something about taking a bite of different textures in flavors just resonates more with me. However, Bee Banh Mi's big surprise isn't a Vietnamese item, it is their french fries, particularly their chipotle dipping sauce. This side dish has a bit of a cult following, at least, among my group of friends. Sometimes they just come here to order a few orders of their fries, it is simply that good. Not only are they seasoned heavily, but the sauce is top tier. It's got a hint of sweetness with a bit of flare. I think it's better than my favorite Zaxby's dipping sauce or even Canes Sauce. It's crazy to think I am even raving this much about a french fry. As much as I think Bee Banh Mi makes great food, I think I don't come out here as often because their hours can be so unpredictable. I had an event here once and I drive out to find out the restaurant was just closed. On another instance, it seemed as if they were closing early so we weren't able to get the full representation of the business. Despite this, the few times I have been able to pull up, I've been treated to some delicious food and a good experience. I hope others can find this hidden spot!

I stopped by Bee Banh Mi for the first time recently, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a small, casual spot in a strip mall, with bright yellow walls and cute bee-themed decor that really leans into the name. I ordered the pork banh mi--figured I had to try the namesake--and it hit the spot. The baguette was crispy, the pork was flavorful, and the pickled carrots added a nice tang that balanced everything out. For just $8, it felt like a great deal. Quick service & solid food--I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu!

Tofu banh mi lunch special
John B.

A trip to this nondescript shopping center yielded a fresh and delicious lunch. The fries weren't quite as special as the other reviews seemed to suggest, but they were still fries and I was hungry. My banh mi with tofu was available with a garlic chili sauce for no extra charge, which was fantastic. A Thai tea was ample. And frankly, I still can't believe how good the price was for that lunch special. I had this place on my list for a while and hadn't made it because they weren't open Sundays, but if you're looking for lunch on a weekday, this is quality stuff.

Pork Banh Mi
Riyona A.

Came for the Yelp Elite event and I am SO happy I was able to attend. I ordered the pork Banh Mi with a side of fries and a Thai tea. First, let's start with the inside. Super cute and cozy seating. There is a kiosk you can order from or there was someone present to take your order as well. I loved the Bee Decor! Adds some flare to the restaurant forsure. I had no trouble finding parking and they also had some outdoor seating available for a nice day. Ok, let's get to the food. I'm not sure if it was the owner I met, but he was very nice! He said he prepared my food for me and that I was going to experience a lot of flavors in this meal. And let me tell you, he did not LIE. The sandwich itself was so flavorful. Idk what they marinated that pork in, but kudos to them for doing so. The sandwich was topped with jalapeño, carrots, cilantro and pickled cucumber? We aren't sure what it was, but does that really matter when we devoured it? Not really. The fries were seasoned to perfection without being salty. It is very hard to achieve this. Another head nod. Also, the sauce is very much giving 'can I order a larger batch of it next time?' Because it is DELICIOUS. It's sweet with a variety of flavors we couldn't pinpoint, but once again, devoured. The Thai tea was also delicious. I truly had no complaints with this meal. My man had some and asked when are we going back lol. There were many other things to order besides the sandwich as well. Lots of options to choose from. So I definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area!

Grilled pork Salad Noodle Bowl and a Thai Tea
Jessica C.

Bee Banh Mi is pretty good. It seems like a little bit of a twist on authentic Vietnamese, and I love authentic Vietnamese food. The Thai tea was phenomenal-a perfect sweetness. The grilled pork noodle salad is a delicious option. I love that Bee Banh Mi is in this area since there aren't any other Vietnamese restaurants close by. Also, the employees are very friendly and parking is a piece of cake!

Oh man... What a treat, what a treat! Everything was amazing. Fresh and delicious. No one complained about anything. Each thing was just as expected - will definitely be back!

Tofu Banhmi - Viet Street Sub- Sandwich Thai Tea

Tofu on the tofu banh mi could use some salt or seasoning, but the bread was really good. Also great thai tea!

Iced tea

Previous gave this place 4 stars but completely disappointed on my current visit. Ordered their iced tea and they served it 3/4th full. Previously, they used to fill the cup. Very disappointed.

I ordered the Chicken Pho to go, and we waited quite a while--probably because of the number of people coming in for Thursday night dinner. The restaurant is pretty small, with just a few tables and a bar that takes up about a third of the space. Despite being small and a bit crowded, the dining area was clean and well-kept. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take a photo of my pho. I was too excited to dig in! And then came the disappointment. The chicken was tough and had very little flavor. It seemed like the thin slices of chicken breast may have been cooked separately in boiling water rather than in the broth. The broth itself was also too bland for my taste and, unfortunately, was a bit cold. Overall, I've had much better pho elsewhere. For me, this one was pretty mediocre when it came to the pho. I'm not sure if I'll come back, but who knows? I'd still like to try some of their entrees before making a final judgment on the restaurant. For the pho, though, I'd give it 2 stars.

It's tough out here being a vegetarian who loves authentic ramen haha, but this was amazing. All the toppings (tofu, bok choy, bean sprouts, fried onion, sour pickle, green onions, fried wontons) were great- the sour pickle was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. The broth had an amazing depth of flavor- definitely curry, but not overwhelmingly so with a hint of refreshing lemongrass (it was also very light and smooth). The noodles were springy and got well-coated with broth. You get to choose your spice level, which is nice. This spot was packed on a weekday night, which was a good indication. Ambiance is casual.

The short rib ramen was good, but the noodles were short, like they were cut or made short on purpose. The shrimp shumai was disappointing. Small bite sized portions, but they were soft. After cutting into one, I found out that they use rice as a filler with a bit of shrimp. I've never seen rice used in shumai, unless it's Shanghai sticky rice shumai. Also got a unagi don togo, it was good, just a bit small on the portion of eel, but it's hard to mess up an unagi don.

The only thing we felt was missing from the menu was an ability to do both in one meal. A half pho, half banh mi option would be a perfect addition to the menu and has been seen at other similar establishments. I opted for the pork banh mi and it was good. The bread was both soft and crunchy as French bread should be. The pork was decently portioned and the accompaniments were great including the aioli. It has a combo meal option with a drink and fries so I also had peach bubble tea. It wasn't as sweet as I prefer, but still good. The service was quick and attentive.

The wait for both ordering and receiving the food was long for a restaurant that was at least 3/4 empty. We ordered 2 banh mis, a soda, and a coffee. That should not have taken 45 minutes start to finish. One banh mi was ordered without mayo or cilantro. The server repeated back the order correctly. It arrived with cilantro. Given how quickly the returned sandwich came back it was clear that the kitchen had just swiped off the cilantro. Each sandwich had exactly 2 slices of jalapeño. Both the brisket and pork belly were so sweet we had to douse them in sriracha to cut through the sugar. All in all, it was okay but definitely not good.

We were seated right away, the server was super fun and friendly. There are for sure regulars that come here. The server knew a lot of people by name, for pick up orders and sitting inside. The Pho is for sure the best thing on the menu. If I would have only had the Pho it would have been a five star experience. I however had the combination and bbq chicken Banh mi Sandwiches and the shrimp spring rolls. The spring roll was crispy on the outside but still frozen on the inside. They remade it and the outside tasted like burnt oil and the inside was still cold. The Banh mi Sandwiches were full of super fresh veggies, I loved that! The downside is the combination one had no Mayo so I had to ask for some. The other downside was that the bbq chicken one had no sauce at all and very little chicken. Again, the veggies were really crunchy and fresh which I loved. Overall I would for sure go back for the Pho, it was delicious. One of the best broths I've had at a Pho spot.
