I have eaten here several times for supper (and once for lunch) in the last six months, most recently in April. Overall, Bea's Wok 'n' Roll is quite decent; it is not absolutely authentic but gets the appointed job of serving flavorful, exotic food done. I usually get the fried rice with chicken, extra spicy. Authentic southeast-Asian spices are used,... More

This is a tiny little restaurant adjacent to the local Jewel. The food is somewhat Americanized Vietnamese, but more authentic than most asian restaurants. The service is OK at best. They are pretty slow. If you are not in a hurry and you just want some Vietnamese food, go there.

Pretty much average. I haven't really had a dish that stands out, but the crab rangoon aren't bad.

If you have occasion to be in north central Illinois, anywhere near DeKalb, try Bea's. It's been a favorite of those with good taste for twenty years, here in the University town in the cornfields. Bea is Vietnamese and has her own style of cooking. Everything is fresh and made to order. This is just about the only place outside... More

After reading reviews I thought this place would be pretty good, I was disappointed. My girlfriend liked the spring rolls, I thought they were OK. That was the best part if the meal. Both entrees were sub par. Service was sub par as well. Another crappy dekalb restaurant.

There is no doubt that Bea's Wok n' Roll is a diamond in the rough in DeKalb, Illinois. Problem is, the customer has to be willing to put up with the vagaries in temperament of its owner. Is it worth it? Generally, yes. But, don't ask too many questions, don't ask to "have it your way," don't ask anything, really,... More

Fresh vietnamese dishes with Bea's twist. I guarantee that you will not find a better spring roll or handmade crab rangoon anywhere else
