Absolutely delicious! I had been craving a Thai tea while at the mall so we decided to stop in. Very fast service and a large menu. The thai tea came to the table and was as tall as I was! No problem for me!! Exactly what I had been looking for. I got an array of appetizers as well, all good with tasty sauces. While dining another patron was saying they had the best curry in Asheville, so I will be back to try it! read more

Two awful experiences in a a row. Don't order the Pho for carrying out. It's just hi.some ramen with cold cuts. Place an dipping taco.online order and wait for the app to say it's ready. You still have to wait in the foyer twenty minutes for someone to acknowledge you and then they argue your meal is not ready. read more

Dude. We ordered this to be delivered. Got pho. It was $18 plus delivery etc. (Got two. One for me one for the wife) Got tom ka Was $8 plus extras. Both were embarrassingly small and lacked ANY of the usual additions. No bean sprouts. No lime wedges. No basil leaves. Aka wicked pricy for not much to write home about. $50+ for three small soups that were under flavored and over salted. Not a win. I'll add this to my "never again" list. read more

Walked over here from the Hound last night since the kitchen there was so slammed, they temporarily stopped taking orders. So glad we decided to eat here instead! The food was delicious and our server Emily was awesome! All in all, it was a very pleasant experience read more

So yummy! Very sweet waiter and I really enjoyed the mango sticky rice as a treat to end it. The Thai tea was also great!!

Awesome dinner for my wife and I! I have been here about 5 times and I'll be back for sure. We got the Chicken Satay, the homemade peanut sauce was great. We also ordered the fresh spring rolls, which were larger than normal and a welcomed surprise. Lastly we order the red and green curries, both were perfectly sweet and spicy. Thank you! read more

The service at Suwana is attentive and quick. Very polite servers. The food is absolutely scrumptious. We had no idea that this fantastic Thai food was right here in the center of Asheville! We will be back often. read more

This is probably my favorite place to eat and I just realized they have lunch specials. We usually order take out but we ate in today and our server Komang was so nice and attentive!! I cant recommend enough. 10 out of 10 Going back for dinner. read more

Perfectly prepared and delicious. We had the pho and pad thai. Both excellent. Be warned however...if you ask for medium spicy it may be hotter than you expect. Quick service, and they are very busy. One of the best Thai experiences we have ever had read more

Service was great, he was so attentive & friendly. Great ambiance and everything was so clean including the bathroom. We started with the fresh rolls and the rolls were pretty big and difficult to bite into into, wish they could have been cut into smaller pieces. We also ordered tom yum soup. Soup was very flavorful and good but was lukewarm, wish it had actually been hot. We also ordered drunken noodles with tofu and it was one of the best drunken noodles I've ever had. It was so flavorful and just the right amount of spice. Absolutely love it. We also ordered pad thai with tofu and it was also delicious. Would definitely go back! read more

Wonderful to have another lunch option close to the office! Ventured out recently to try Suwana for lunch and was not disappointed. It was pretty quiet at first, and then people slowly started streaming in the front door. Service was great, very attentive without hovering. Started with the Miso soup, the warm broth hit the spot on a chilly day! Off the lunch menu we ordered Thai Fried Rice with Beef and a Vegetable Lo Mein dish. Both meals were delicious with a beautiful presentation. The portions are generous for a lunch serving, so of course, I had to take a lot of my Lo Mein in a to-go container! Will definitely be back for more office lunch outings! read more

Our go to lunch place that is convenient, with easy parking, and great food. Will be a weekly visit for us. Very attentive staff and owner.

I was hungry and in the mood for Thai so I went to a fav, Suwanna on Tunnel Rd, (East Asheville) because the food and service are both excellent and the location and restaurant are relatively quiet (off the busy AVL beaten paths). From their 8-page menu of great choices: The pork gyoza was delicious. The Basil Stir Fry plate was huge, also delicious and perfectly prepared. The holiday special drink. Basil Collins was tasty, light and refreshing. Even the water from a glass bottle was good. And great service was provided by the lovely Pom ("like the pomegranate".). Finally, it all came to just under $40, plus I left a well deserved good tip too, and I left with a to go container with enough for next day's lunch besides. Wow. Can't go wrong with them. Thank you. (BTW, I had to go out of my way to do this review because the Google review link scan wouldn't load. Needs work, no wonder this location is quiet, their other two AVL locations are getting all the attention!) read more

Amazing food! Waiter just needed to avoid serving main course so soon after appetizer

Great service, fresh food, forgot to take a picture before. With Asheville service this is surprisingly nice if you were from a service state like New York or Florida you will not be disappointed. I can tell you that much. Excited that a Thai place actually has Thai tea also . I will definitely be back udon sushi is the only runner up to this place. read more

Hie Thai - Beautiful presentation, great service, explains menu. One of the best places for rolls around. - Japanese Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I had eaten at Suwana's other location (downtown on Broadway) a few times, but this one was literally across the street from our hotel, so we gave it a try. I was very pleased with this one also. I started with an order of fresh rolls with peanut sauce--huge and had to take part of them home) Also a seaweed salad and for an entree the Chicken Stir Fry with brown rice. Their brown rice was more elegant and tasty than most. The stir fry was somewhat unique and very delicious. I had been hiking today, so I was plenty hungry and ate it all. Plus mango sticky rice for dessert. Service was friendly and attentive. We intend to return the next time we are in Asheville. read more

A friend and I recently had dinner at Suwana. This was our first visit, but will not be our last. As we opened the door we were immediately impressed by the cleanliness, decor, and efficiency of the staff. The extensive menu offers a variety is Asian food. Speaking of food, it was delicious. The flavor and presentation were superb. In addition to the food, attentive staff, and ambience, the price was very reasonable. We highly recommend Suwana. Don't be intimidated by the exterior of the building. The interior is surprisingly upscale. read more

Sat down. The place and the server Seemed nice enough. 30 minutes later they had never ring in my order. The audacity of wasting my time like this is beyond belief. read more

This place is so great! My family and I love the downtown location which has a slightly different menu, this place has a broader range of options and this time I had the Pho, which was amazing, there aren't a lot of places around Asheville that have good Pho and the Pho here was out of this world with a perfect portion size and a good price! Service was excellent and reasonably fast. The lighting could be a little brighter maybe but I actually enjoyed the calm ambiance of the space. Overall awesome experience definitely going back! read more

Sashimi...divine....the best wasabi Ever. Cashew chicken was so tasty as well. Lots of veggies in there and very generous sized portions. Ordered take out, but staff was very friendly and made sure to include soy sauce and chopsticks without having to ask. The restaurant has a full bar and is very warm and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone! People there are doing a great job and really want to serve their customers! This is just one piece of my sashimi, but it was all amazing! read more

I messed up my order and ordered at another location. They completely understood and fixed the miss understanding that was completely my mistake. It is a lovely small restaurant regardless of how my food turns out I will be returning and hopefully not make that mistake again. It was bussin! read more

My massaman was very bland and not well cooked at all. The veggies were tough and undercooked. I had been excited to have a Thai place close to home but was disappointed in the food. I waited a while before trying it because the last meal I had was at the downtown location in December and the yellow curry was terrible but I thought I would give them another chance at the new location but oh boy was I unhappy with the results. I expect Thai food to be flavorful and tasty but it was none of the things I expect when I pay a pretty high price for food that isn't good. I hate to give it a bad review but honestly it wasn't worth the money or time and ruined my only meal that day. Giving it two stars was being nice. read more

Delicious, fresh California & sushi rolls. So good! Friendly staff, good service. Clean.

Visiting Asheville and hubby wanted Thai, and I wanted sushi. I saw Suwana had both, but I was reluctant to go due to just a few reviews, but I am so glad I tried them. The service,ambiance,and food were excellent. Hubby had Panang curry with chicken, and I had the Texas roll and eel / cucumber roll. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Thai food. The curry was especially good. read more

I went to Savannah when it was downtown and always enjoyed. My food in the ambience was wonderful. They've now since moved over to Tunnel Road outside the city limits outside the historic district and I still enjoy their food. They've added a lot more sushi to their menu and my wife and I go there on a regular basis. Highly recommended. read more

Though slightly understaffed, the food was excellent. We thought the Fresh Roll App was the best we have had, and the Chicken Satay was also very good. Two of us got Sushi rolls, and we liked them, and we also got Hor Mak and Hibachi Chicken. Very good. Definitely worth a visit. read more

We love this place. We live close by and feel Lucky to have them in the neighborhood. We have gone many times and the service and food is outstanding. Tom kah is amazing, sushi is fresh and unique a well as classic. We come here often and will continue. It's such good flavors and we always have a nice time. Cute ambiance as well. With it! One of our favorites to come back to time and time again. read more

They close for 2 hours between lunch and dinner so when we arrived at 245 we didn't realize we were getting there so close to close. They should have just not sat us. Once 3 hit they turned off all the music and all the lights while we were trying to eat our food. The food was okay, nothing special. But we took very little time to order and not a long time to eat but were given a clear message that we were not welcome. I find this quite rude and would have rather just gotten turned away. read more

Highly overpriced food for very low quality. My husband's cashew chicken was a watery, soupy mess and no breading on the chicken as advertised. Crispy rolls were soggy. Mango for the mango sticky rice was not at all ripe. And the Japanese clear soup was anything but. $3 a pop for barely a quarter of a cup of soup?!? First and LAST time. What a waste of money! Very disappointing considering the last time we ate at Thai Orchid, it was delicious and we've always recommended them. No more! read more

We live locally and have eaten in and gotten takeout from Suwana several times...every experience has been a little different, to be honest. Their sushi is consistently good though once it was really gorpy. We got dinner to go last night...sushi, curry and green salads. Opened the salad containers only to find two servings of TOTALLY brown lettuce...all of it was rotten...how on earth could a reputable restaurant let such food out their door especially when it's such an inexpensive item to make? One tomato slice, one piece of cuke and the rotten iceberg. We are not snobs but when you pay a decent price for something and it's spoiled, it's maddening. I sent them an email and a photo but don't expect anything to come of it...nor do I suspect that we will be going there again. We love supporting local businesses of all kinds so as regular customers, this was pretty disappointing. We just made our own salads at home :) read more

Hie Thai - And this is all there was... - Japanese Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

If you're looking for good Thai food don't bother eating here. The Pad Thai was overly sweet and the Pad Woon Sen noodles with pork were overcooked and the pork was almost nonexistent(4-5 thin bits) and barely enough noodles. I ordered the Pad Woon Sen and they brought me the Pad Thai by mistake and I think they just removed some of the pork from it and added to my corrected order. When the check came one of our dishes was priced higher than the menu and they explained that the price had gone up, but they had ordered new menus, but they had been waiting a long time for them to be delivered. No mention was made when we ordered and they refused to make an adjustment. I can't believe that they think it's okay to charge higher prices and expect the customer to just accept it because they've increased their prices without changing it on the current menu. Service was terrible, one waitress for the whole restaurant and she was also doing the phone orders. She never came to check on us and had to be flagged down so I could request the correct food and it took so long that the two people I was dining with had finished their meal. I definitely won't be returning. read more

My last two visits to Suwanna tunnel road have been excellent. Service is wonderful and the food is terrific. Try it again, you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

New place- it has been a few places before. Not disappointed. The ambiance was excellent. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. Try the Panang curry. Try the hibachi. Everything was delicious ! You'll need to order extra rice because the curry was so awesome ! read more

The food we had was all excellent (Drunken Noodles, Pad Prik King, Scallop & Shrimp Hibachi, Pineapple Curry) and we nearly licked our plates clean. The plates were served with fresh and flavorful veggies. The sauces were exceptionally delicious--particularly the Pad Prik, which was rich with basil. Spicy plates can be spiced to order (1-low, 2-medium, 3-hot, 4-Thai hot, 5 extremely hot) and the scale is true to my expectation. If you are uncomfortable with habanero level hotness, don't order Thai spicy. If you are uncertain about your personal preference order medium and ask for some of Sam's sauce to spice upward according to your preference. Sam's sauce is absolutely incredible. I was spooning it out and eating it by itself, it's that good. I gotta figure out how to make it myself... The service was particularly friendly, attentive, and generous. The atmosphere and space is relaxed and comfortable. This will absolutely become our regular Thai spot in Asheville going forward. read more

My FAVORITE Thai food place I have ever had. The food is sooooooo delicious and flavorful. I could not recommend this place enough. I get Pad Thai and it's definitely the best pad thai in town.... Tried another local place the other day, big mistake. I've never felt like I had to wait long to be seated or for my food to come. Service is great, staff is friendly. Again, if you like Thai food GO HERE read more

I had a beautiful lunch! Exquisite presentation & surprising freshness. Try the house-made dumplings and the their impressive cold rolls. They made a basil noodle stir fry for me - with salmon - (pad kee mao) that was exactly as I ordered. I have so much respect for excellence. I will be back.xx read more
