I would definitely come here again, but not on a cold misty Sunday at lunchtime when all the churches are letting out. This is definitely a popular place for the Sunday lunch crowd. The Bahn Mi hit the spot (I split it with my bride) and the Seafood Pho was especially good for a cold wet miserable day. The place was packed, we had a 30 minute wait. My party of three ended up having to sit at a table designed for 2. We made it work despite the lack of real estate on the table for the plates/dishes. read more

My in-laws brought us here for lunch - so good! It was a little bit of a wait but worth it. I can see why it's popular. I ordered the Tanghon - loved the two types of noodles in it and the sweet sausage. I would order that again in a heartbeat. I also tried the seafood pho which was very flavorful and delicious. The portions were good-sized and the average price for entrees is $12-14. The restaurant is smaller and busy, but very cute on the inside and clean. The waitstaff were very fun/helpful. Will be back here when in Asheville next read more

Wild Ginger - I discovered this hidden gem during my visit. The exceptional customer service makes it a must-visit destination. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

We almost didn't come here because I really wanted Thai, but I am sure glad we did! Discovered a dish I have never seen on any menu--Tanghon. This dish seemed to be a cross between pancit and lomein with lots of different meats and veggies. Turns out it's a Filipino dish that this half Filipino has never had, and it was delicious! Good thing we come to Asheville often, so I can get it. My husband's pho was tasty. Service was cheerful and efficient. read more

Wild Ginger - Tinghon--eat this! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Came on a weekday dinner. There was plenty of parking available. Was especially impressed by the precautions they have taken with COVID-19. First a waitress comes out of the door and checks each customers temperature with a. infrared no contact thermometer. Then each each customer gets a squirt of hand sanitizer and a plastic bag to put their face mask. I ordered a grilled pork vermicelli and asked for some addition of chilli. Service: 4/5 The food came out really quickly. Ambiance: 4/5 Food: The spring roll was fresh and crispy. The portion was generous. The vermicelli itself was delicious. I made the mistake of dumping the whole container of sauce on the noodles- it was too much. Next time, I would just pour just half. read more

Wild Ginger does not disappoint! Great food that's priced right and the service is quick and friendly. Pro tip: if you order ahead, give yourself about 10 minutes longer than they tell you on the phone, especially if you order wings. I'm always impressed with their banh mi. The bread is nice and crunchy outside and light and chewy inside and they don't skimp on the filling! If you like a bit of spicy heat, try the papaya salad. They also have a great selection of pho, noodles, and more, so for all your Vietnamese food cravings, Wild Ginger has it. read more

Wild Ginger - the front of the restaurant - Asian Fusion Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

So so so good! We wanted pho while on a trip to Asheville and had to come here after realizing another restaurant was closed. Boy, am I glad we did. They have a nice menu with a good amount of options. We all opted to have some of their classic pho offerings. We also got iced coffees and they were delicious. Our meals came out fairly quickly, which was awesome. The pho servings were very generous and came with tons of toppings. The broth was perfect and I really loved the taste. Our server was quick and attentive. If you are ever in the area and looking for pho, this is probably one of the best options! read more

Not the best Viet food ive had but definitely the best in Asheville. Their pork chop rice was also very good and a generous portion read more

Very disappointing spring roll, special Pho, and terrible beef fried rice. Shu Mai was passable and freshly made but dipping sauce avoid at all cost. Not worth a visit if in Hendersonville, NC read more

Best pho in Asheville right here! I come here when I need to satisfy my craving and the 20 min drive is so worth it. I got a small which was indeed pretty small and I would've liked more meat and noodles, but it had me satisfied with the fried spring rolls. Their service is also super quick and I will be back again! read more

Wild Ginger - Pho with eye round steak, brisket, and flank - Asian Fusion Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Meh. There was no bunbohuey or blood biscuits. I'm not sure the servers and cooks are Vietnamese (I guess some were?). Tea is only hot water and a bag. Just blah. read more

Found this place while I was shopping at the Asian market next door and let me tell you, what a delightful surprise. I grabbed a combo Bahn mi and some of their dumplings. Both were fantastic. Whatever sauce they serve with the dumplings was so flavorful, should be bottled and sold. The bahn mi was equally as pleasing. Perfect amounts, jalapeño sliced thin and crispy. Bread was toasted but still soft. This is one of my favorite sammies and wild ginger brings it to the table. I had the sweet potato fries as my side and those were nothing to write home about. I don't blame them, it's not really a traditional side or even something close. But worth the gamble. I stopped in on a Monday, prime lunch rush. Luckily I ordered before doing my shopping so it was ready by the time I was done. Wouldn't necessarily say my food was served with a smile but it was busy and I'm sure they rather be somewhere else on a beautiful summer day. Hopefully a little friendlier for those who are dinning in. Crowd seemed happy, like they were regulars. All considered, I look forward to my next visit! read more

best food in asheville hands down , nothing comes close! every meal i've had here it's spectacular and the staff are so nice .

Great pho, even better mango boba tea. Best boba I've had in this area actually, especially when I'm accustomed to boba on the west coast. Busy Saturday night, every table was full but we still got our food quickly. Cute little establishment, will return! read more

Only authentic Asian food in Asheville. Everything else is pretending to be food they know nothing about. This place is very authentic with a family vibe to it. They pack their pho to go very well also. read more

We arrived on a rainy Sunday and had a long wait of about an hour. The ambiance is nothing special, but this place has delicious pho. Both my husband and myself got the seafood pho and shared an appetizer of spring rolls. The server was efficient and our food was served in a timely manner. read more

Great Pho Everything we've gotten was fresh and delicious . Thai wings were on point. Check them out! read more

The staff is so friendly and I got my food so fast! I'm not kidding, MAYBE 8 minutes if that. Definitely would come back!

Visiting in Asheville to see the Biltmore etc., we decided on WILD GINGER as we both wanted PHO! We sat beside a lovely "local couple" chatted & ate SPRING ROLLS with PHO & I had Vietnamese iced coffee (absolutely delicious)! The SPRING ROLLS were fabulous & PHO exceptionally good. Enjoyed our dinning experience as well as the great Vietnamese cuisine! Will for sure put on the list for next trip to Asheville read more

Very tasty pho but a bit pricey. The also use what I call "plastic" meatballs that seem like rubber, but the majority of pho places use these. Other than that we have no complaints. read more

This is the only local phò place in town, and they certainly know what they're doing. The restaurant is smaller than it should be because the place is always packed, but even then your wait isn't that long and they check on you often. Awesome phò, and we routinely get the calamari with the green papaya salad (it's so good). We're never disappointed when we come here. read more

I got carry out from Wild Ginger, and this restaurant is so worth the trip especially if you're looking for incredible food away from downtown Asheville. My girlfriend had the grilled tofu vermicelli and I had the Yakisoba. Both were perfectly prepared and had so much flavor! Also they happily accommodated a shrimp allergy! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Wild Ginger is another one of those standout restaurants that had me sampling their wares a second time only days after my initial visit. My first time there I tried their combo bahn mi, a fully dressed bahn mi sandwich with a side of their papaya salad. The bread was toasted yet yielding, the veggies crisp and fresh, and the pork well-cooked, juicy, and delicious. The papaya salad was crunchy and well-dressed. I also got some of their pork and shrimp spring rolls which were very flavorful especially with the peanut dipping sauce, and shu mai dumplings which were clearly housemade, rich, well-seasoned, and delicious. I had a taste of their stir-fried veggies in coconut sauce which reminded me more of a less-soupy Thai curry, but was excellent nonetheless. On my second visit I ordered tanghon (or sotanghon), which is a noodle dish made with egg noodles, bean thread (basically glass noodles), shrimp, pork, vietnamese sausage, and veggies. I have no doubt this is the dish I will order again and again. Rich, flavorful, and satisfying, I devoured the entire portion in a single sitting and was left wanting more. It was so good it haunted my dreams a little bit. They take their COVID precautions very seriously, as well. Curbside pickup is the only way they roll for takeout, bringing your food and taking payment right at your car. They also take the temperature of any guest who chooses to dine in at 50% capacity. Prices are very reasonable and I can't wait until the weather cools down a bit so I can happily try their pho which, based on the quality of everything else they offer, I'm sure will impress. read more

Great service, a bit noisy with the guests on each side( very talkative and loud) Pho was one of the best I ever had! Spring rooks very good! Wife had chicken and sausage fried rice and she liked it all except the sausage. A different taste than she's used to. I would recommend to anyone that likes pho! read more

Have they gone out of business? We have tried twice and they are closed. I'm really saddened if they have closed. It was a wonderful restaurant. read more

We're visiting from Manhattan NY. OMG, the food is amazing, whether it's Vietnamese or Filipino, all awesome. It's very difficult to find an authentic good tasting Vietnamese in the city. We went twice, the second time we had the best tapsilog ever and the portions are a looooot, so you get your moneys worth. I would def go back , with my husband this time (I went with my parents this time). read more

Pho was great . But to explain succinctly , I do not like calamari . My wife ordered it . I ate most of it !!!

The BEST! Fresh Tasty and accommodating. Great Service. Just yummy. We drive from Brevard to eat here!

Good food, but could have done without the ugly comments from one of the waitresses about the large (?) amount of food we ordered! Spring rolls, pho, and we each had a dessert... it was all delicious... and yes, we were practically licking our bowls. But, the comments telling us "that is a lot of food" and "we won't need to wash those dishes" were unnecessary, hurtful, and rude. read more

WOW just WOW. GREAT flavors.the Pho was off the charts good. Most definitely a place you want to go for amazing Pho! read more

The food here is absolutely delicious, it's top three for me in Asheville. The crispy spring rolls and the tanghon noodle dish are my favorites. It's always pretty busy so there's a bit of a wait to sit and dine, but it's so worth it. We do takeout there as well. Highly recommend! read more

Wild Ginger - Tanghon, absolutely delicious! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Always an amazing experience and worth the wait if they are busy! I have lived in California where there are pho restaurants everywhere so to only have one option here in Asheville was sad but I have to say their pho is perfectly compared to the ones out west! They do not disappoint! Their wings are also delicious! My go to is the A1 pho bowl The staff also deserves a shout out. Extremely hard working and always polite. Don't forget to tip your servers!! read more

I was not expecting to find such high quality pho in Asheville! Like some other reviews I've seen before, it's not the best I've had but definitely hits the spot and is authentic, delicious pho. I get the chicken pho when I come and it's fragrant, not too overpowering, and delicious. So far I have only been able to get togo, but the restaurant smells AMAZING and I can't wait to eat there. The pho comes with a generous amount of chicken and noodles, and the usual herbs, jalapeño, bean sprouts, and sriracha and hoisin packets. I also got the spring rolls which were just okay, not at the same quality of the pho but still good. Definitely the spot for pho in Asheville!! read more

Best PhoBo in town. Great food and service, but it's hard to find an available table during the weekend.

Best dumplings and the sauce to go with it and Pho I have ever had!!! I'm going to try and duplicate that recipe on the dumplings and sauce!!! The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars is bc you are working your staff to death which makes the service less efficient. Throw one or two more workers in there and your good!! Eat here! read more

Best pho in the area! Cute tucked away cafe style restaurant that seems to always be busy.

We came here by accident, was looking for another restaurant with Ginger in the name but it was the best mistake ever. This place has the best Banh Mi! I got a combo and my husband got the pork Banh Mi, the bread was perfect and everything inside was made to perfection. We also got pho and shiu mai, all the dishes were excellent! I've had great Banh Mi back in California and have been missing it since I moved away but this place is a new favorite. So happy we wandered here!! read more
