This place was fantastic! Right of the main road in a mountain town. My family was happy to see some variety when looking for a place to eat while visiting for Thanksgiving. The menu offers several Asian dishes and a few dishes that are not so anyone can find something to eat. We ordered several meals that included sushi, fried rice, hibachi style, soups, and appetizers that included egg rolls and crab rangoons. Food was passed around and shared by all, everything was delicious. We ordered sake and several cocktails as well and the ones I tried I enjoyed! The service was great. We had a large party of 7 and not one thing was wrong or missing with what we ordered. Drinks were refilled often and when reordering cocktails they arrived quickly. The lighting was dim, but not too much that you couldn't see what you were eating. Bathrooms were clean. The dining area was a mix of booths and tables. read more

Horrible and super expensive. $8 for 6 pieces of sushi with barely any rice. Boyfriend and I got "empires dinner" steak, chicken, and shrimp. This was the plate. We ate the rice and shrimp first. We ate the steak last and the last few pieces of steak we saw, it was raw. It was $29 ish dollars for the entree meal. I was told that the owner couldn't even partially refund us because "it's just one piece". F****ng ridiculous. Total was $60. The owner and place needs to be shut down. Nothing was done and they didn't care. A health inspector needs to shut it down, and they are lucky I don't sue tf out of them. read more

Service is excellent. Best place in town for Asian food. I always get the chicken red curry. So yummy!!!!

Called ahead with an order for take away. I arrived about fifteen minutes later and I was greeted quick and handed my food. Everything was packed up in the bag as expected. I ordered the general chicken and it had no flavor. No heat, just bland it was fresh, with quality ingredients. Maybe the chef was having a bad night. The menu has lots of choices, I will return, but try something different. read more

We haven't been there in years. Since they stopped the grill in front of you style. We heard they went down hill. So we wanted to give it a chance. The absolute WORST Chinese food we ever had. Everything was watered down from the Yum Yum Sauce to the Sauces in and on the food. The Sushi rolls were dried out even the Dragon Roll was burnt. I MUST SAY THE YOUNG MAN SERVING US WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND PLEASANT. If not for him we would have just walked out. We took some of the left overs for our Animals. They wouldn't even eat them. I don't know how they even stay in Business. NEVER AGAIN !! read more

Went there Sunday, Sept 7 th. ordered green curry. Tasteless, vegetables undercooked, no flavor Worst curry I have ever had. I want be back. would not recommend. read more

Ordered Mongolian Beef. It had about 5 pieces of meat in it. Taste - non-existent. Way too expensive for what is offered. Typical Hiawasee restaurant - not much to be desired. read more

Good service, yummy food, stopped there for a quick bite in a long road trip. It hit the mark.

Terrible bland food that is overpriced. I guess this is what happens when you don't have much competition in town. So sad.

Highly Recommended: 5-stars. Highly underrated. If you follow our reviews here and on Trip Advisor, you'll know we focus on price-performance at restaurants. Is the price commensurate or equitable, given the quality of the offering? Asiano hits the sweet for our rating criteria and earns our five-star rating.First, selection. Asiano offers an almost to-good-to-be true menu that is so extensive, one wonders at first glance whether puffery is at play. Thai, Chinese, and Japanese dishes are on offer -- on all 8 (yes, you read that right, EIGHT) pages of the menu. Dozens of dishes are on offer and are as eclectic as they are interesting. On top of it all, there's a separate two-page Sushi menu. Second, entrees. We put the menu to the test. We asked our wait staff professional for her recommendations. She recommended the Pad Thai. We ordered the "house" version: it's a variant of four different meats in the flavored Thai Noodle setting. These meats include Chicken, Pork, Beef and Shrimp. It was quite good. It gets a 4 out of 5 on our scale simply because the taste of the beef was a bit off.Then we put the Sushi menu to the test. Again, relying on the recommendation of our wait-professional, we ordered two new rolls on the menu, those typically not rated by regular customers. The first roll was the Bahama-Mama roll: Spicy Conch topped with a thin slice of lemon and hot mayo -- $8. One taste and it disappeared quickly, so quickly that we forgot to snap of photo of it. To the eye it appears as a plain old roll of sticky rice with a few additives. But the taste is zesty, refreshing and fulfilling. 5-Stars hands down for freshness, flavor and uniqueness. Our second roll was the Supra roll: Shrimp Tempura, Creamed Cheese, Avocado, Shredded Crab, and hot Mayo. This time we snapped a photo before vanquishing the roll. You'll note from the photo the shredded crab topping. The mixture of the various flavors teases and excites the taste buds. It's truly spectacular. $15. We note, the prices on rolls span $8 to $18. You don't need to spend on the higher cost rolls to experience the wonderful taste-bud sensations of their Sushi. Based on our sampling, offerings off of this menu are all going to be 5-star. Third, service. It's snappy, as in FAST. Again, our seasoned traveler nature cautioned us to suspect the quality might not be there because it was so fast. But this latter notion is not the case. The owners have a highly efficient and experienced cook staff. In a later conversation with the owner we learned Asiano has been in business for 26-years. The experience is plain for all to see. Fourth, setting. Asiano is set in its own building along the main drag (route 76) of Hiawassee. The sit-down area for Sushi-Pad Thai type customers is segregated from the Hibachi Grill nearby. Doors and a plexiglass-like partition blunt the noise and heat customers would otherwise feel in the main dining area. The Hibachi area consists of two U-shaped settee areas with the chef in the middle. There's plenty of dining space in the non-Hibachi area. There's 10 booths that hold about four adults each and 7-round tables with 5-8 chairs each depending on the size of the table. Asiano enjoys a brisk take-out business. From our limited experience, it is easy to infer why this is the case. This place is very underrated. A 3-star rating is very much undeserved as reported here on Yelp. We have lived for extensive periods in Southeast Asia, specifically, Thailand and Laos, and we know the quality and composition of these dishes. One of the owners is of Thai / Lao extraction. This suggests volumes about the owners insight into the preparation of their offerings.Go and enjoy. We suspect you won't be disappointed. read more

Very good lunch specials for $13.95 Also ask for some yum-yum sauce at no charge. Service is quick and comes with white or fried rice. read more

I should have learned my lesson at this point that when a restaurant tries to cover a lot of different cuisines they end up not doing any of them very well. The food was bland and didn't even look appealing. We ended up not boxing up what we didn't eat because we knew we wouldn't finish it. I think they would do much better if they just focused on Chinese or Thai and stayed away from sushi altogether. read more

Gave this place a second chance. Egg rolls were so greasy that the grease was rolling down my arm. Ordered Thai curry, one red, one green; maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't Thai curry made with coconut milk? No coconut flavor and basically very bland miniscule amount of sauce with only 6 small shrimp. When we were given the fortune cookies at the end, my husband said they were the best part of the meal!! Ambiance is nice, service is efficient & friendly. read more

My friends recommended this restaurant. Asiano, opened on Monday. I'm so glad we went. There is plenty of social distancing. Servers wear masks and clean the tables after guests leave. Asiano offers Chinese, Japanese, Thai Dining. Our party was total of 4 person's. The menu is extensive. Totally recommend a visit to Asiano. The service was on point, friendly. In addition to Hunan Shrimp, I ordered the fried dumplings, 1/2 wanton soup with 1/2 egg drop soup, hot tea, fried rice. Definitely will be back. read more

We are staying at the Ridges and ordered to go food for 8 of us last night. The food was awful. We threw away the egg rolls and spring rolls which were tasteless and greasy. I had the Thai chicken cashew. It had no taste, the chicken tasted like plain boiled and the sauce was watery also tasteless. Everyone else's food was horrible as well. I would not recommend this place. We frequently stay in Hiawasse but will never eat food from this place. read more

The service was wonderful. But being a world traveler I was disappointed in their tempura, and Pad Thai read more

Two major problems: 1. I selected this restaurant because it has a Tesla charging station. Problem was that someone had parked in front of the station, but was not using it. 2. Covid guidelines not followed. We opened the door: no social distancing; no masks. We turned around and left. I can't rate the food, because we didn't stay. But, really, people. Do you not understand that we're in a major pandemic? read more

The food is good. We have eaten there a few times. The owner is a very nice person. It is a little pricey. Our last visit the check was $86 for two people and only 1 beer with that. read more

A family member told me that the actual Chinese dishes and the Mongolian BBQ are much better than the Hibachi - so we do plan to try this in the near future and I'll report back :) read more

While there are many food choices in the area, there is only one Asian choice and that is Asiano in Hiawassee. Great food, great sushi, and great service all combine to make Asiano a place to go, every day except Tuesday when they are closed. The Mongolian grill for lunch or the Japanese Hibachi anytime along with a menu that offers, Chinese, Thai, and more can find something for everybody's taste. The family-run restaurant of Kuy, Noi, Alex, and Mai Lim adds to the friendly atmosphere. read more

This is my second visit, wasn't very pleased the first time Considering I couldn't find anyplace else to eat I gave it a second chance, what a mistake I had the buffet and it was terrible, the beef was tough as shoe leather and awful taste My friend had the cashew chicken which was worse than what I had, no flavor, she couldn't eat it, that's how bad it was How this place gets 5 star ratings is beyond belief My lunch without drinks was $30.00, what a waste of money I had my dog in the car, with Airconditioning on, I usually bring her a treat, I was afraid to feed that chicken to her I will never return If you eat here you will regret it, trust me read more

We want to thank Asiano for great food, customer service amazing, love, and a good time all the time!!!

This is the only Asian restaurant in Hiawassee with an awesome variety of foods. If you love soups be sure to ask for the Japanese soup it's delicious. The owners are wonderful folks who've raised their wonderful children here and are always quick to support our small community. You'll be made to feel like family here I promise. read more

My family eats at Asiano's often. The food and service are excellent. I especially enjoy the Thai curry chicken. It's spicy but still enjoyable. I recommend the the green version, the red is too hot for me. They also have a buffet so you can choose your own items then they cook it for you... And they have hibachi! Lots of options and an extensive menu. The owners are friendly and appreciate their customers. read more

The best quality of food in town, very large menu to choose from, good service, great tea, and definitely can't leave hungry. Try something new or stick with what you like this place is a quality favorite for special days. read more

I ordered chicken Pad Thai, Supra Rolls, Scallop Lo Mien, Egg Rolls and eel rollI do not even know where to start... the noodle are over cooked and soggy. The Pad Thai had a sour smell and taste. The vegetables in the Thai, Lo Mien, and the egg rolls were sour and squishy. The Sushi rolls were not too bad, but had almost to no flavor at all. My family and I tried to eat as much as we could, but we were only able to take a few bites of this sour mess and then threw away $80 worth of food. I am not a local I have drive here from Florida for family and I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. read more

Second visit here, just as disappointing as our first visit. Tried the Hibachi menu , hoping for better results. Unfortunately worse than regular menu. Table cook knew nothing about Hibachi cooking,even the chicken was overcooked,if thats possible. Bad taste, saturated in cheap soy sauce. Will never return!!! read more

While on vacation we went here 3 times because the service was good and the food was excellent. We ate Japanese Chinese and Thai. Their Japanese steak plate was delicious and came with tasty broth soup and a salad. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

We ate here multiple times while on vacation in the area. Each time, we had great food and excellent service. The sushi was surprisingly good, and various Chinese entrees were very well-done. The Japanese steak entree was outstanding and Pad Thai was also quite tasty. Service was always friendly and prompt. A great bonus is they are open every day, whereas other restaurants are closed on Monday and Tuesday. I highly recommend Asiano. read more

Food was ok, but nothing special. Staff is friendly especially if you are one of the locals and they know you but the service itself leaves a lot to be desired. Waiter only visited the table once and did not offer to refill drinks. Getting the check took forever. I would say this place would be passable if it were cheaper, but with the high prices I definitely expect both better food and service. read more

Good Chinese in the mtns. Love the Mongolian grill at lunch.

My family enjoyed the hibachi on Fourth of July. I called in advance for reservations for 5:30 and was seated promptly. The service was excellent and food was brought out quickly. My son ordered edamame and my daughter the steamed dumplings which came out quickly after our drink orders. We also received mushroom soup and salad. Then within a few minutes our hibachi chef came out and verified our orders. We shared our table with another group of three. I was pleased that the staff all wore masks and cared about social distancing. I liked the salmon, my son got a huge serving of chicken which he liked, my husband and daughter got the steak and liked it. Our hibachi chef was a younger man who was very entertaining. I have been to a number of hibachi places in Atlanta and I would rate this was even higher in terms of quality, value, and service! And on a holiday, no less! Everyone left happy and full. read more

Our takeout order didn't have the correct items, but some of the food we received was decent. The pad thai was dry and sticky. read more

I had delivery from this restaurant from Ridgerunner tonight. This was the worst "Asian" meal I've ever had. I'm not a food snob at all, and my expectations aren't crazy when dining on certain kinds of foods in this area, but I was really craving it tonight. The chicken pad Thai was not awful, but I could make it and have it turn out better. Not even remotely authentic or flavorful. The spring rolls were ok. But the sushi was inedible. I got a tuna roll and a spider roll, and literally threw them out. There was no soy sauce included in the order, no napkins, no plastic utensils, and virtually no wasabi with the sushi. I will avoid this place going forward....it's not hard to make food that is passable, even if it's not authentic. read more
