Absolutely love this place. In my family's opinion it is the best sushi in the area. Service is always very pleasant and we are treated very well. Very clean have eaten here now prob two dozen times never had a bad meal or experience. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy Thai cuisine

Tried this place after craving some hibachi, since my usual hibachi restaurant has been closed due to Helene. I have to admit the quality of food could rival a teppanyaki style restaurant. The food was phenomenal and service was great. I went there after they opened for lunch. I ordered the lunch special Hibachi Ribeye Steak with clear broth soup, onions, zucchini, and mushrooms and a salmon roll with 2 sweet shrimp sushi. Everything was fresh and seasoned so well. The portions are great too, I had some left over to take home and enjoy another meal. If you’re looking for great hibachi and even sushi, this is the place to go! Already planning my next trip with a friend!

Exceptional meal! This is our new go to for dinner! The restaurant is clean, nicely styled and decorated. Its a small place but don’t let that fool you! The food was excellent, best pork dumplings in town! My wife had the bulgogi beef bowl with rice which is phenomenal! wonderful accent veggies in it! I had the sumo fire roll which was also delicious, I would highly recommend, not spicy. My son had the kids hibachi steak. For a kids plate, I was floored. Excellent steak, huge portions. Eat here!!

Wonderful. Just wonderful. I walked in at 2 pm with my blood sugar starting to crash because I hadn’t eaten anything since the night before. Without mentioning what was about to be a medical emergency, I had a nice, decent size, fresh salad with a good ginger dressing at 2:06. By 2:13 I had a really tasty fried sweet potato roll. By 2:17 pm, I had a hot, tasty shrimp hibachi plate. I ordered the lunch portion and it was still a nice amount of food. That’s becoming rare in Asheville. On top of that, the servers were nice! They actually smiled. If you’re from Asheville, you know how far and few between that happens. This is a small little strip mall restaurant that’s worth driving from Asheville for, if for no other reason you can guarantee you walk in happy and walk out just as happy, if not happier. Plus the music was pleasant coffee house. 5 stars and I’ll be back

Work outing for lunch on a Friday. We were seated quickly and out order was taken. For a larger group, all of our orders were correct. The server went above and beyond and had a to go order of food ready in minutes. They have a good selection of noodles, sushi, teriyaki and hibachi style dishes. They also have lunch specials on the sushi. All of it was amazing!

Found this place on a whim. Service was great, food was fresh and flavorful. I got the Thai fried rice (pictured) my boyfriend got the steak Hibatchi (not pictured) which he says is some of the best Hibatchi he’s had in WNC! Will definitely be coming back!!!

I haven’t been here since it changed ownership, and boy was I surprised at how it exceeded our expectations. The sushi was fresh, super tasty, so creative and beautifully presented. The udon bulgogi was also excellent. The staff was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond in their service. Finally, the prices here are so reasonable! Far lower prices that competitive restaurants, and probably better food! The interior might not be as upscale as some other places, but everything else more than made up for it, and it was certainly just fine. Try them - I highly recommend this place!
