Asheville restaurant to close after 15 years serving authentic Thai cuisine

ASHEVILLE – After a 15-year run, a local restaurant has decided it will no longer serve traditional Thai cuisine to Asheville diners.

On Jan. 31, Little Bee Thai owners announced via social media that the business will close at 45 South French Broad Ave., suite 190 by the end of February.

The post stated that a new business would take over the space, though additional details were not provided.:

“To all of our loyal Little bee Thai customers we are sad to announce that Tuk will be retiring at the end of February. Thanks for your local support throughout all these years. There will be new owners with a new business name and new receipts for you to enjoy. We have been serving Asheville starting out in the sweeten creek gas station to a food truck then to a restaurant for last 15 years. You all have always been there to support us through it all.

Sincerely yours Rick and Tuk”

Little Bee Thai was introduced by Took Charemwong and her partner, Rick Corcoran, to showcase her collection of authentic Thai recipes learned in Thailand and said to have been passed down by elder women in the community and her family.
