Sloppy basil roll fell apart.
Suzanne T.

The crab rangoons didn't have enough crab to flavor the dish. On many levels, the fresh basil rolls were truly awful: only a piece of shrimp. Look at the veggies, they weren't even julienned. The wraps were so loose that when I picked them up, they fell apart. The peanut sauce had no flavor. The place looked neat and clean. Service was okay. Won't be going back.

Sushi!
Melissa W.

Excellent Por-Pea-Sod, shrimp rice wrap, fresh..for lunch I had the three roll special Shrimp avocado roll, spicy tuna roll and spicy crab roll. Indifferent as the filling was all ground like a mush (see pics). But the flavor was amazing. I just prefer slices of tuna and shrimp. Green tea was great. Overall 3.5 stars on the sushi, next time I'll try a meal, saw many savory choices.

Steamed rice

After having heard about Champa from several friends, I finally made it there for dinner when my good friend came to visit Hendersonville. The high recommendations I received were not warranted in my experience. This was my first time ever dining at Champa. I ordered the Pad Kra Pao beef entree at "spicy level #3." The dish I received was completely wrong. What I received was not spicy at all (like spicy level 0). The sauce was a bit sweet, but lacked any hints of jalapeño or basil. When I mentioned the lack of any "heat," the server brought me a ramekin with siracha paste in it. Some of this paste can be seen added to my plate. The food on my plate was edible, but definitely didn't match the correct flavor profile for the dish. Additionally, the vegetables were chopped wrong. Most of the onion was thinly sliced like shredded lettuce and the bell peppers were inconsistent. Additionally, it was served on top of chopped iceberg lettuce that looked like bagged salad. You would think the restaurant could cook rice correctly. Nope. The rice was a bit cold when served and very hard. I mean the cooked rice was not tender. It was not crunchy inside (not cooked). It was cooked, just not soft or fluffy as rice should be. It may as well have been a Mahatma or Riviana US domestic product from Ingles. My friend ordered the combination fried rice with shrimp. I tried some. It was just ok, better than a US Foods bagged product, but mediocre at best for an Asian restaurant. The restaurant was comfortable, though a bit loud. I tipped my server with the bill because she was nice. But I was not impressed at all by the food because it was incorrectly prepared and failed to live up to acceptable dining standards. Seriously? An Asian food restaurant serving cold steamed rice? I couldn't eat the rice and left half of my entree uneaten during what was supposed to be our nice dinner in town.

Stopped by for a late lunch date today. The food was delicious! Very comforting atmosphere and friendly service. I highly recommend this place

Inside

Really disappointing experience at Champa. Everything here was below average from start to finish, save our server who was so completely overbooked she didn't have any time to do her job (not her fault). We came in the other night with a party of 5, and the restaurant in general looks nice. It's not dirty and the decor is pretty, but the seats we sat in were busted and uncomfortable. The host seemed to be taking every single table that came in the door. We made a reservation over the phone earlier in the day and showed up and the reservation was lost. It looks like the host did her whole job on pen and paper, but seemed to be completely untrained. We offered to wait a bit longer and she insisted they could seat us as a walk in. At the same time we came in, a man asked for a walk in party of 14 people. I was pretty surprised because for a party that large it's rude to do that last minute. Rather than turn him down, the host assured him they could also be seated immediately. Due to the volume at that point, I probably should've just left - I read they have poor service in other reviews, but was shocked at just how bad it was. The host seated us and we didn't see our server for at least 20 minutes and water took a full 30 mins to come out. There were really young children working and our server seemed to be the only adult. Our food order didn't get taken until a full hour into us sitting there, and our food took another hour to even come out. ALSO - tell me why the party of 14 was halfway through dinner before we even got our order taken??? Half of their party wasn't even present when we came in and they were sat at least 20 mins later. We spent SO MUCH time waiting for them to get it together we probably should've just got up and left. I felt so bad for our poor server - she was clearly the superstar of the restaurant, but because their staff is all high school age or under, they all sat at the front behind the counter in a group rather than help her. I watched her sit and process receipts most of the night while also juggling the majority of the serving for the ENTIRE restaurant alone. The host should not have sat that many people, but the restaurant should also look at employing actual servers, not kids. By the time the food came the pad see ew was drenched in sesame oil and the two people in our party who ordered it found it inedible. The fried rice was good, the duck entree was cold and very bad. We ordered a sashimi platter and the fish was fresh and worth the $25 we paid for. Overall, the sashimi and fresh sushi looked to be pretty good, but the variety of hot entrees were not. This is an Asian fusion restaurant, so they blend Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and perhaps more cuisines. I found only the Japanese entrees were really worth anything, and overall an entire restaurant cannot rest on the back of the 1 good staff member they had working that night. There were so many problems with the night we would probably never consider coming back and would not recommend eating here.

Dancing Girl!!
Wendy R.

Went back to the old menu and asked them to make Jalapeño Bomb- OOMMGGEEEEE wow!!! Love the Dancing girl and Spicy Crab with Soy paper. Nothing EVER disappoints us. Tried and true.

Beef Pho

I believe my waitresses name was Cindy. She was very kind and you can tell she loves where she works! Beef pho was awesome. The basil roll was delicious aswell.

R21 Spicy Lobster Roll
Karen C.

The food was absolutely amazing. I had the spicy lobster roll, Philly roll and the beef pho. All of it was delicious, however, they only have one sushi chef working the sushi bar. Aside from the the service was great. The waitress kept an eye on us the entire time. Cute little place right in downtown. Will be back for sure.

This place was so good that I could not go to bed until given a 5 star review…read more The pho was very flavorful. We ordered the P1 and if you are well acquainted with the general descriptions of the dish, you probably know that the P1 has pretty much all the meats. Well it did not disappoint. Just recently moved to the area from Florida and I needed something that reminded me of the Vietnamese restaurants from back home and wow did they impressed me! We also ordered two sides of sushi. The crunchy shrimp roll and I forget the other one but doesn't matter because they were devoured within minutes. The server/cashier/cook was cordial, friendly and respectful. It did took a little while to get our order but it did not mattered, the food made up for the little wait. Expect a very small sitting area. About 4 small side tables, a long sitting bar looking area and a very relaxing little place. You can park on the street or a public parking right before you make it to the restaurant. I will be definitely coming back. This place will be in my list for the rest of my stay in NC. And now I can finally go to bed.

I absolutely love what I got here. I ordered the take out for dinner.. hibachi steak with…read moremushrooms, sweet carrots and rice, as well as an order of teriyaki chicken with broccoli and sweet carrots. Both of them came with a creamy yum sauce, hot chili oil, and a spicy ginger sauce, all on the side, which is very thoughtful. :) the owner Mr. Kim was very sweet and friendly. I love that we have a spot like this is downtown Hendo, and I really hope you guys like it too!
