This place is run by super nice family, has plenty of parking, and the food rocks! The sushi is delicious and beautifully prepared. Menu has all the staples you would find at most other Japanese/sushi restaurants in town and all served by an attentive, very friendly staff. Skip the traffic downtown and give these folks some AVL love! They have a south Asheville location off Hendersonville Rd just south of the blue ridge parkway so if you are a tourist cruising through looking for a great reasonably priced sushi place, this is your spot! read more

Very bad food, I'm not one to make a review but this was a waste of money. Couldn't even touch the rice it tasted like something was wrong with it and the whole restaurant looks gross in the kitchen read more

Worker is too busy on the phone and holding it in VLOG mode without gloves or washing her hands due to not wearing gloves. She also had ZERO clue what combo number 4 or 5 was. Bad workers. Too busy on their phone to care. Probably why this place is going bad read more

I generally really like the food here and I did today, but my gosh, it could hardly be bothered to give me napkins or water or anything... I would go to the south Asheville location. It's so much better. read more

When I read that they had a Tempura Rainbow Roll on the menu, I had to see what this place is all about. My roll and iced green tea were both delicious. While the roll was on the extra ricey side, the fillings and toppings were fresh and hearty. I was happily filled up enough with just one roll. I arrived at the restaurant at 11 when they opened, and the waitress was very kind. She went out of her way to brew my iced green tea which I appreciated. I would recommend giving this delicious sushi spot a chance if you're craving sushi in Asheville. read more

The food is good but the service needs improvement I think they do a lot of takeout calls and they focus on that more than the customer in the restaurant waiting on their food and the servers as well read more

This is a great addition to the Asheville area. Everything is super yummy and fresh, including the soups not pictured (each hibachi dish comes with a soup or salad to start). The rolls are substantial in size and delicious every time (the Las Vegas deep fried roll is my fave)! Quick and easy with accessible prices and you don't sacrifice quality. The ambiance is very simple but everything is clean and tidy. Even if you order to-go, everything is served appropriately and packaged nicely. read more

Very friendly, neighborhood, quick suchi spot. The staff is always friendly and quick with my orders.

I ordered a veggie coconut curry which was described as a green curry with thai basil. When it came it was not green at all, but a red curry, no basil. I asked the server about this and he promptly took the dish back to kitchen, then came back and said they couldn't make it any differently. I hadn't asked for my food to be taken and would have gladly eaten it regardless, but he didn't give me that option. I told the server I really only wanted curry, so he said that I could leave. Super rude service, I regret ever going. Was treated horribly (on new year's day of all days!) I wouldn't give this place any of your money. read more

Nope. This was a vile wretched waste of money. It's cheap and you get what you pay for. Left half of it on the plate. The calamari salad was tough salt. The sushi was very suspect, greenish tint ends. There was two people who were servicing the place and they kept arguing about who knows, as they were speaking another language. read more

Mr.Sushi - No backsies - Sushi Bars Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

The Sushi combo #6 is fresh, delicious, well portioned for $15.99; no low sodium soy sauce seen However, husband disappointed with steak & shrimp hibachi on plate getting cold from kitchen to his table ( it's a cold day in Asheville). Also we ordered miso and got mushroom. The white sauce accompanying his plate was a favorite (I typically dislike the white sauce served) read more

This is the 2nd Mr. Sushi location, and honestly this is that hidden gem in Asheville. You don't have to be big and fancy to have good sushi. My personal favorite is Sushi combo #6 and having my California roll subsisted for a spicy tuna roll, and for my 6 pieces of Nigiri I will order 3 escolar (fatty white tuna) & 3 Salmon. For the price of that combo you honestly can't beat it. All those other sushi places in town are stupid expensive, and the fish quality isn't worth what you pay at other restaurants. One thing to note is their chicken Katsu gravy recipe needs more work. Mr. Sushi is the best bang for your buck! So you're not having to go broke every time you are eating sushi. read more

I had high hopes for this location of Mr. Susi, after all the raves I read about the So. Aville location. They seemed to be having some sort of problem, for which they apologized but did not identify, which caused a delay of over 30 minutes for our food to be delivered. We ordered the combo #1 and the pork ramen. Both dishes were perfectly adequate, but uninspired. The eggs in the ramen were hard cooked, rather than soft. The pork was a bit dry; it probably would have been better to have chosen the pork belly in the ramen. I love tempura shrimp, which is why I ordered the combo #1. The the tempura roll was OK, but I really had little awareness of the shrimp in it and I had trouble biting through the nori. The nigiri was good--tuna, white tuna, yellow tail and eel. The service was attentive and friendly. The prices were very reasonable. No alcohol license yet. read more

One of the best places to eat in Asheville! They have an amazing selection of Japanese dishes, sushi, boba and even poke bowls! The owners are the best and make sure everything is top notch when it comes to the food and service! If you're ever in the area, I recommend stopping by to either location.

So here's the thing. Sure, the sushi is good by Asheville standards, but the real secret to this place is to get the dishes. Their kung Pao is so fresh I can actually taste the individual ingredients and it's got a real spice kick to it! Don't sleep on Mr Sushi, it's a favorite. read more

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the place was clean. The portions Are good as well.

Mr. Sushi is amazing!! The sushi is super delicious and staff super friendly and polite!! We enjoyed the food so much!!! We are out of town but we have to visit again before we go. Love it!! read more

Good services and nice staff. Three of us come here for reunion so we need to take a memorial picture. They have offered me to do it without suggestion. I'm so appreciate it. And the food is awesome too. 5 stars for the Restaurant read more

This take out is brought to you by Covid-19. I think I'm trying a whole lot more food during this quarantine than the entire year we have lived here! Search for a local sushi spot and one $ catches my eye. Mr. Sushi... didn't I visit that place a bit further south and wasn't it in a gas station? Yes and yes. This new location opened within the year and it's so lovely. The owner greeted me and asked if I had been there before. I mentioned the south location... "My dad runs that spot and my mom and I run this shop." Ah, nice bit of info. Everyone was awesome and the food was prepped quickly. Salmon Lovers roll, Dynamite roll and chicken Pad Thai. All of it was so good. $34 in total... the Pad Thai was awesome. Not sweet or runny (which I've had some place smake it that way, bleh) Found a great local place for my sushi fix. Plus, who doesn't love supporting a local chain? read more

While visiting on vacation we tried Mr Sushi in downtown Asheville, and we were beyond satisfied with the sushi rolls and nigiri. It was fresh and delicious. 10/10 recommended!! read more

I enjoy their food and it is convenient. Don't expect worlds Most amazing food, you get what you pay for but I like it.

Lot of rice in the sushi rolls. Gyoza were super doughy. Noodles were meh. Won't be going back.

Delicious boba tea!!! Fast service and open late for my night time fix I will be visiting more often. Thank you so much!!

Where do I begin... my 2nd time this week. Lukewarm sake . Server looked at me as if I had 3 heads- maybe it was my Gucci bag? I live here for Christ's sake and came to escape the craziness of Zen Sushi... fresh spring rolls came approx 10mins after my large Sashimi meal... sashimi- came partially frozen. Replaced with Escolar(cheap,imitation white tuna) after my initial request that I don't eat escolar with the original order. Had to request 2nd sake...server not interested in building ticket .... said I hated to offer a concern and server treated me super indifferently -I guess bc I don't have tats and pink hair?? Anyway, consistency and service are crucial and to have this ..from my visit just 2 days ago ? And ... as we speak ... still waiting for server to chela up and possibly offer a glass of water - never happened - or another sake ... or maybe even... the Bill????!!!!!!! read more

Super quick service, the sushi chef was friendly & accommodating. Delicious sushi, portions were great, and such a good deal for price. Would return! read more

The rolls fall apart. The rolls were bland and nma mushy texture. Our second and last time ordering from here.

Server was on the phone on a headset the whole time. Beer was warm - not a good sign in a sushi restaurant. Sake glass was badly chipped. Sushi was questionable given the dirty environment (floor, bathrooms). Didn't taste fresh. Will not return or recommend. We're all going through a hard time but it's hard to forgive cleanliness and refrigeration in a sushi restaurant. read more

The fact that this place somehow has managed even a 3.5/5 rating on yelp has destroyed the last remnants of my faith in humanity. After waiting for 26 minutes (with four people working the kitchen counter, 2 of whom ate small bites and licked their fingers, only 3 dine-in guests and 0 other takeout orders) I was presented with a takeout container of "Hibachi Chicken." Which is to say chuncks of dry chicken breast, undercooked room temperature sliced vegetables, and "fried rice" that looked suspiciously like white rice with a pinch of black pepper and a few thin pieces of rubbery egg that they must have fried up yesterday. Per their menu, they season this $13.99 abomination with a "Chef's Special Hibachi Sauce." Sorry to spoil your trade secrets Mr. Sushi, but your special sauce is clearly a mixture of ground ginger, tepid water, and just a tiny splash of off-brand soy sauce. WIth such terrible service, prices, and food itself, this establishment must surely be some sort of mafia front or other money laundering scheme. Speaking of laundering...I'm also fairly confident that the miso soup contains actual soap. read more

Mr.Sushi is easily my favorite sushi restaurant in Asheville! They have excellent customer service and a delicious menu. They were even kind enough to modify the stir fry to accommodate my gluten allergy. Their Pad Thai Noodles were amazing however my favorite dish has to be the Dessert Sushi. read more

Ok...where to start. We walk into the restaurant and were greeted by a friendly smiling face and what seemed to appear as a well kept and good quality business but things sure took a turn to say the least. Our food came out and everything seemed well until we inspected it. The Curry had barely any sauce whatsoever and was lacking the quality flavor that you look for when trying out a new restaurant. I personally, not being huge on cultural food, got the crunch fried chicken and to my surprise was no good. The chicken was incredibly dry and extremely chewy and the same with the carrots. The best thing on that plate was probably the barbecue sauce. We also tried the Ramen soup and the noodles tasted dry and chewy and the egg was basically hard boiled cut in half and just thrown in there. The menu was somehow unclear on what you could get as an entrée and was a major pain as I was looking forward to some soup. I doubt I'll eat here again but here are pictures of my experience. read more

One of the few Asian restaurants offering dine-in service at this time. Plenty of space between tables and booths with enforcement of COVID capacity limits. Sushi was extremely good, as were the dumplings. Very generous portions (e.g., eight dumplings, eight pieces per sushi roll), and prompt service. Reasonable prices. Our server was most gracious, attentive and super polite, and could have been the proprietor? Convenient location on Merrimon with off-street parking in the back. Will definitely return when in Asheville. read more

Delicious, fast, friendly and clean. I am so excited this new location opened. The staff treats you like royalty. Fresh rolls with beautiful presentation. I look forward to them having more outdoor seating in addition to the smoking table! read more

The seafood is not always fresh. And they will tell you that the snow crab in the sushi is genuine snow crab. It is not. It is ground up fake crab. read more

The sushi is horrible. Please stay away. Overly expensive for no reason. Mid all around. Don't waste your money.
