This has quickly risen to the top spot in cary for me to get vietnamese food just due to the quality of the food and how reasonable their prices are. Its counter ordering and they bring it out to you and they staff is super nice. I love the vermicelli bowl here but they also have a killer lunch special for their bahn mis so be sure to check them out ! read more

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. read more

Bee Banh Mi - Pork Banhmi - Viet Street Sub- Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

This was not a great experience. They fry their tofu in the same fryer as the spring rolls with meat in them. I requested grilled tofu but she misunderstood and gave me fried tofu in my banh mi sandwich. Communication is a real problem here. read more

I normally do not leave reviews like this because I understand how much reviews can impact a business, and I genuinely tried to resolve this privately first. I called the restaurant six separate times over the last week and never received an answer or call back. The only time someone answered was the evening I placed my pickup order. That said, people deserve to know this because this goes far beyond "bad food." This is a serious cleanliness and food safety issue. The food was completely inedible. There was a tick in my food. An actual tick. Not only is that disgusting, it immediately raised concerns about the sanitary conditions of the kitchen and how the food is being handled and prepared. Clearly the vegetables were not properly washed, and after finding a bug in my meal, I could not stomach taking another bite because I genuinely started wondering what else may have been in the food that I didn't see. The rice was also greasy, soggy, and honestly some of the worst takeout food I've had in a long time, but that became the least of the issue the second I found a parasite-carrying insect in my meal. That is unacceptable for any restaurant establishment. Food safety is the absolute bare minimum expectation when people are paying to eat from your business. I even saved the tick because I intended to bring it back while requesting a refund, but no one would answer the phone despite repeated calls. The lack of accountability afterward made the entire situation even worse. This was not just disappointing. It was disturbing. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I've ordered from here for years but lately the quality hasn't been great. Picked up a takeout order this evening and the tofu was so greasy and unlike I've ever seen it before. The noodles in the pho were also completely uncooked. I hope they figure out whatever has gone downhill soon. read more

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! read more

Bee Banh Mi - Tofu Banhmi - Viet Street Sub- Sandwich Thai Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

This place was a last minute find when I was craving pho but wanted to try a new place. There were no tables left, so we ordered to go and waited against the wall leading to the bathroom for about 30 minutes. There were about 10 other people against the same wall doing their best to stay out of the way as well. The restaurant was honestly pretty dirty and greasy as well. The food was pretty good, but I've had better pho in the area, so I haven't been back. read more

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. read more

If you're craving an authentic Vietnamese meal and a quick mental vacation, Bee Bahn Mi is your spot. The moment you walk in, the ambience hits you like, "Surprise! You're in Vietnam now!" I'm always greeted with smiles so big and genuine I briefly consider asking if we're long-lost family. And the banh mi? Absolutely delicious. Like, "why-did-I-eat-anything-else-in-my-life-before-this" delicious. I'm already plotting my return trip to try the pho--because if it's anything like the banh mi, I may never emotionally recover. 10/10, would happily teleport here again. read more

This sweet restaurant is located near the Costco in apex in a strip mall. I have been here two times and failed to review. The service is kind and helpful and everything I have ordered has been great! Love the chicken sandwich (not the proper name) The bee decor is cute and is hand drawn, There is plenty of parking in the front of the strip mall. Easy access off Lake Pine Road. I will continue to come here! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Fresh, quick, and nutritious modern Vietnamese cuisine. Order online, via phone, or at the counter for dine-in or takeout. I ordered takeout from the counter. Either the cashier takes the order or you can use the ordering tablet. I chose the steak pho and summer rolls. My order was accurate and ready in under 10 minutes. Since I stopped here for lunch, the quick turn around was very convenient. Plus everything looked fresh and tasted great. Definitely wished I ordered 2 pairs of rolls since they were crunchy and delicious with the accompanying peanut sauce. Overall, recommended place for a nutritious lunch! read more

Drop everything in run. I'm already craving the tea and I just finished it. Walk into a family owned and operated joint packed full of warmth and flavor to experience Banhmi. We tried this spot with a Yelp Elite opportunity and I can't wait to return. The staff was warm and welcoming she not sure if the yellow walls or bee paintings made it this way but the lemon tea hinted of honey! Yum. My daughter and I tired the Chicken Banhmi Lunch Special and we felt it was filling enough for 2. Don't walk, run to this little spot just a hop, skip and jump from Route 64 in Apex. read more

You order at a kiosk, but a server will bring your food to your table if you choose to dine-in. They also take orders over the phone. It's nothing fancy here, but they're consistent. My food has always been above average and satisfying. If you're looking for an authentic experience, this isn't your place. It's more of a quick bite that serves banh mi and pho. They have good lunch deals. Expect to spend around $15 per person here. Plenty of parking in an open parking lot. read more

Always absolutely delicious and freshly made! I order to go for a quick lunch, and it never disappoints! So filling too with generous amounts nicely proportionally distributed for the taste buds to have a party of elegance! Just what I needed to wrap up the work week on this beautiful Friday! 10/10 for sure....a must try! read more

Bee Banh Mi - Fresh and delicious - Vietnamese Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

This might be some of the worst Vietnamese food I've ever had. We ordered some food to bring on our flight back to Newark, but I don't think it would have tasted any better even if we had eaten it fresh. We had: -Spring Rolls - these were a joke. I've had spring rolls from a supermarket freezer that tasted better than this. I was also under the impression that these would have meat in them (like the typical Vietnamese spring rolls) but they were just spring rolls with a sad portion of cabbage/carrots inside -Pork Banh Mi - this wasn't bad but it wasn't great. It was the best item we ordered of the bunch, but is smaller than the typical banh mi -Salad Noodle Bowl with Chicken - they make this with bits of chicken breast (as opposed to a whole boneless thigh) and it was so dry. It also tasted old, like they microwaved it to heat it up Portions are small. An order like this would usually be able to feed me and my husband, but we were still hungry afterwards and ended up spending money on airport food anyway. read more

I was visiting from out of town and Bee Banh Mi came up in my search. I love a good banh mi so of course had to stop in. I guess you can order on the screen but I didn't even notice the screen to order on, I placed my order the good old fashioned way with a human being :) The lady working the front, she seemed young like maybe a college student, was very sweet and brought out a little tub of toys and let my kids each pick one while I was figuring out what to order. So thoughtful!! She was a good multitasker. This place had a steady stream of customers while I was waiting for my order and she handled it all really well. Ended up with a chicken banh mi, pork bao buns, and spring rolls. No joke, everything is 11/10!! Meat was tender and well marinated! Great sandwich banh mi bread. Bao buns were like little fluffy delicious pillows of meat, give me all of the bao buns!!! So yummy :) ended up going back 2 more times during my visit haha. Went back on the last day before we left to take my husband but didn't check the hours and was sad to find they are closed on Sunday's :( not their fault, everyone needs a break. Seriously just bummed to find an amazing Vietnamese place that isn't in my hometown Until I return to Cary, I will be dreaming about all. the. pork. bao. buns. read more

Build it yourself:Pho is delivered to your home by DoorDash. Pho is a Vietnamese soup consisting of rich beefy  bone broth, rice noodles, and thinly sliced meat (usually beef). It may also be served with bean sprouts, fresh herbs, limes, chiles, and other garnishes. The origins of pho are a bit murky, but it is generally believed to have originated in the early 20th century Vietnam. The bone broth is richly flavored and tast. It is boiled for a long time to perfection. The noodles are delicious The vegetables are fresh and crisp. The beef steak is thinly sliced and tender. You need to try this version of Pho. read more

Service was great. I am put off a little by having to pay prior to getting the food. The inside is nice. Quite a few tables for a small location. It was my first time eating Vietnamese food at a Latino owned restaurant. Don't let that throw you off. The phó was good. The meat was extremely fresh, and not previously frozen. I also ordered a crispy fried eggroll. The eggroll....meh. It wasn't cooked all the way. Luckily it was a vegetable eggroll. It was still doughy and soft in the middle. All in all a pretty good restaurant. read more

Great food at great prices tucked into a tiny restaurant in a small shopping center. Small menu so they are really focused on making great tasting quality food. Shrimp chips, shumai, bao buns, spring rolls, Banh mi. We split a good sampling of the menu and yes we will be back for more. Had a few of the dishes made spicy which gave them a nice kick, but not overly spicy. Place stayed busy the whole time we were there, but everything kept moving. They do a lot of take out as well. read more

Expensive (FJB) but good Pho. And good portion size. I'd eat here again. I had the steak and meatball pho, and my wife had the shrimp and vegetable pho. Neither of us could finish the bowl and are bringing some home for our next meal. Everybody who works here seems friendly. read more

Very nice find! Bahn mis were good. The bread was crispy yet soft... It was not a chore to eat it as sometimes it it's over toasted, it can cut up the roof of my mouth. I had the tofu bahn mi and it was really good. Jalapenos made it perfect. The fries were so good. I was surprised, they are double fried, big and had a really great seasoning. The green smoothie was also refreshing. Staffing is probably an issue, there was anyone extra to bus tables and clear the trash and trays. It was a little disgusting seeing the pileup of trash and dirty trays. The place is small, only 8 tables or so. The dirty dishes were piled up on the table they had the drinks, straws and napkins on. Definitely recommend! It's on the edge of Apex and Cary so next time we are in the area I'll be grabbing some fries and maybe a pork bahn mi! read more

Service is good, it is counter service. Food very good, fresh and accented with very fresh veggies. We got the noodle salad with pork and that was really good. It is a bit light for me but my wife did not finish hers. I would prefer music different from the country music they were playing. It is a small place and it appears that most of their lunch business is takeout. Clientele seems very happy with the place. We are adding this restaurant to our rotation list. I expect I will mostly order the pho. This will be in more pricey section of our list which seems justified given the freshness of the food. Glad to have Vietnamese food in this part of our urban complex. read more
