“The lady was awesome that helped us!! The sauce on the hibachi had great flavor and portions were good also. Steak was cooked perfectly! We got a fried shrimp appetizer (cannot remember the name) but similar to bang bang shrimp..10/10 awesome!!! We will be back when visiting chimney rock.“

“Incredible. Got the Ukiah menu sampler that was out of this world.“

“Great food, great service. Sushi was super yum!!“

“A classic and reliable spot for yummy tempura, and other tasty things. Nice servers.“

“Great food, great service!“

“Fantastic!! Waiter was Cassidy he was very nice and welcoming with great knowledge of the menu, this was our first time there and was so relieved to find a great noodle stop as we have tried others and were highly disappointed but not here. We got the dynamite shrimp , so creamy and just a hint of heat, we got the kids ramen so next extra stuff just the noodles and broth and those had great flavor they approved!! I got the deluxe ramen with the black garlic oil and pork belly so bold and smooth, and we got the spicy ramen which had a great heat level and my husband loved. Over all great food worth the price which wasn’t super high , nice environment with great music choice would highly recommend!!!! Thanks again Cassidy“

“I had the Hawaiian sushi. It was fantastic! My husband had the red curry and loved it! This has become our favourite restaurant. Although they were short staffed they all did an outstanding job. The restaurant was full. Great job by everyone!“

“Fantastic as always. Two vegans and two vegetarians left very happy! The buns were excellent. The spring roll ruled, they were excellent! Five or six sushi rolls were perfect! The rice, spinach, pickles, every sauce... Excellent. And best of all I wasn't served fish like other places in town accidentally. As everything in Asheville, the price tag was pretty large, but a lovely experience.“

“I’ve been going here since I first moved to WNC over 20 years ago and it has to be the most consistent restaurant in town. The food has stayed the same portions, the service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is very “refurb fast food casual”. All things I come to expect from an excellent Japanese Restaurant. All the other Japanese places in town are much more expensive and serve smaller portions than Asaka. To get your money’s worth of great prices, good quality, and fast Asian in Biltmore Village, look no further than Asaka!“

“Amazing food and absolute angels here !! I didn’t realize how close to closing we had ordered (I felt so bad but I floored it there) and they stayed open so we could grab our order :’) you guys are amazing 10/10 I will be dining here again!! The food was fresh and hot and so so good just what I needed after a long day !!“

“The best Japanese I have ever had. our waiter and cook were so nice. it was my birthday and they really made me feel special. I will definitely be back when I am in the area again.“

“Excellent server, service & food“

“The flavors of their food never disappoints. Panda Express is right next to this place but theirs is always better and the food is made fresh.I get a chicken teriyaki combo with double meat for around $11. And the portions are huge ! Always some left over.“

“We went to Miyako for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and we are going again tonight. This restaurant is a gem in downtown Asheville. The aroma lured us in, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The kitchen appears clean and well-org - and the service was delightful!“

“The best Asian buffet experience I’ve had since I moved to Upstate SC 12 years ago!!! Good food and amazing service!!!“
