    So, I'm in Asheville for New Years. And Suwana's is where I had my last meal of 2025. I didn't make reservations anywhere and this was one of the few restaurants (cuisines) that I was ok with (and a friend) that was open and didn't need reservations. So, that's how I chose Thai food to close out the year. Parking. It's on Broadway. Check the signs. Don't get excited like me and pull in only to find it's for loading/unloading or handicapped. I ended up just parking in one of the lots. 3 hour parking for $18.50. I don't know if that's the standard rate or if it was inflated for NYE but after having done a few laps, I just said WTH and pulled right in. It was only a block and a half away. The place wasn't packed but bustling with to go orders. We did arrive later and by the time we left, there were only a few tables occupied. Not being busy, but also being sat where we were - service was great. Attentive as we were always within line of sight of the team and all we needed to do was make eye contact. Not that we needed to other than refills and for me, spicy chili powder/sauce. Food was good. Not spicy - but as my friend would say - nothing is spicy for me. But I wanted the added heat as it was a little chilly out. Good flavors but not explosions like I'm used to. Not that it was bad - maybe it was on the muted side for the demographics? It was a very nice tasty dinner to close out 2025!

    Wonton roasted pork

    Drunken noodle with mild spice level was tasty. I could've actually taken more heat so noted for our next visit. Service was good, too. It got busy towards the end of our meal, but she still managed to check on us when we wanted the check. The wonton roasted pork was good, could use more seasoning. So my fiancé got the spice rack and added red chili flakes himself. Kind of overdid it but needed the spice to heat up past mild. Again, noted for next time. Will come again

    ginger salad

    Great food and service! We went on a Thursday around 8:30 and were sat right away. We each ordered a ginger salad, but the waitress told us it was big enough to share - great advice! We shared one salad and were happy with that. The ginger dressing is sweet - my favorite kind. I ordered the Massaman Curry vegetarian, and it was delicious! They did a great job with it, and I would definitely order it again. It came with tofu, sweet potatoes/carrots, regular potatoes, tomatoes, and peanuts. It also came with rice, which wasn't clear on the menu, but I was happy it doesn't have to be ordered separately. The food came out quickly. The ambiance was nice. I saw some people come in to pick up food orders after we arrived, but we did see one couple get turned away from dining in because it was too close to closing, so just be mindful of the hours. Will definitely be coming back!

    I walked across the street from a vegan festival and discovered that this place had ample options for vegan offerings. I figured I'd get takeout for the road: one tofu and string bean stir fry and paid for extra tofu, and also a pad Thai. I thought I'd get two solid meals and a nice variety. I was quite disappointed. For one thing, this is a place that doesn't automatically include rice, which I'm okay with but which was not obvious at all in their online ordering. This being Asheville, I didn't notice this until I started eating this relatively wet dish up in the mountains and realized I had nothing to absorb the sauce. Moreover my extra tofu was not much; even if I hadn't paid extra I would have thought the portion size a little weak. My pad Thai, somehow, came with no tofu at all despite my having ordered it. And for having been shorted on protein and flavor, this food cost close to $40 with no appetizers or anything. Just not a good value. The actual quality of flavor had some merit; the spicy dish was quite spicy, the sweet flavors of the pad Thai were in balance, I got little shreds of herbs that went beyond the basics. These were nicely garnished dishes. At least, there was enough quality there to think that I could conceivably try this place again and give them a chance to do better. If I'd just gotten food commensurate with what I expected on ordering, I would have been pretty happy.

    We were quickly seated into a nice booth along the right hand side of the restaurant. The restaurant is clean and decorated well. The lighting and music made it very cozy. We enjoyed the lunch specials today. I had yellow curry with chicken and my friend had Thai fried rice. The lunch special included a salad, served before the main dish, a crispy spring roll and a fried Thai banana! Absolutely delicious and authentic according to my lunch buddy who has spent time in Thailand. Our server was very attentive and very kind. Such a lovely little Thai restaurant here in Asheville. This will be a place we add to our list the next time we visit! Sadly, we are so hungry we didn't take pictures of our delicious meals!

    A great dining experience right across from the AC hotel. Nice and clean with friendly staff. Love it!

    Red Curry

    Legit Thai flavors and great service! Stumbled upon this place while shopping downtown. Would have been a 5star if it had a bit more curry paste. Worth the visit!
