“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“

“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!“
