I’ve been to Bé-Em Asian Kitchen about a dozen times and have tried most of the menu (spring rolls, veggie rolls, pan-fried dumplings, beef pho 5–6x, and the Shio ramen, pictured). A few thoughts based on repeat visits: 👍 What I like: Consistently tasty and savory food (especially the pho) Fast and simple ordering on touchscreen kiosks Food comes out in ~5 minutes ToastLab app makes takeout super easy + reward points are a nice perk Plenty of parking right in front Cool main room with a lounge/coffee shop vibe Easy to get in/out for lunch Reliable overall quality — main reason I keep coming back 🤷 Could be better: Can get pricey once you add protein, tax, and tip (around $20+/person with water) Staff efficiency is good but overall attitude isn’t very welcoming (little to no smiles or greetings) Bathroom cleanliness needs attention (smell + floors/walls/mirror/doors) Occasional panhandlers coming inside asking for money — not ideal during lunch Bottom line: Good food and a very convenient ordering experience. With some improvements to cleanliness, customer experience, and atmosphere, it could easily be one of the better lunch spots in the area.

Great spot for people to enjoy delicious Asian bites with a lot of options for both plant based (vegan) and vegetarian. I always love the decor in here. Only thing is kind of different is that you order with machines but the food seem to come out pretty quickly and the portions were the perfect size.

My first time trying this restaurant through take out and it was amazing! I ordered the Combination Plate with chicken and steak + Udon Noodles. The combo comes with enough for 2 meals - the entree + soup and salad. Everything was great and fresh. I really love the Mango Crush Tea well. Thanks for packaging so nicely!
