Stoped in for lunch last week, staff was friendly and patient with us as we've never been in before. They had a lot to choose from and had some great lunch specials as well and at a great price. I had the chicken pad Thai and my husband had the hibachi with chicken and steak. Both came with either soup or salad, we both had the salad and the ginger dressing was delicious. I asked for my pad Thai to be a bit spicy and the level the server suggested was perfect. We also ordered the crab Rangoon as an appetizer, everything tasted great. We will definitely be back!! read more

Sushi was shockingly amazing! Coming from FL I have pretty good standards for fish and I wasn't expecting much. I started off with the ginger salad and a spicy tuna roll and my husband had the deluxe sushi plate. I wasn't a huge fan of the ginger dressing but the sushi made up for it! Not only was it supper fresh it was delicious and my husband loved his sushi! read more

A Must-Visit Gem! Champa never disappoints! Every time I visit, I'm reminded why it's one of my favorite spots. Their sushi is consistently fresh, beautifully prepared, and bursting with flavor -- definitely some of the best I've had anywhere. The General Tso's Chicken? Absolutely to die for. Perfectly crispy, just the right amount of heat, and that sauce... addictive. It hits all the right notes of sweet, spicy, and savory. I also ordered the spicy kani salad, and like always, it was excellent. Creamy, flavorful, and with just the right kick -- it's become a staple for me every time I go. Between the incredible food, the welcoming atmosphere, and the reliable service, Champa has easily earned its spot at the top of my list. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

Champa - Sloppy basil roll fell apart. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

Food had no taste, veggies were overcooked and for a dinner portion they gave very little rice. I think the staff needs to be more friendly too. I've been there a couple of times when they're not even busy and still they can't be friendly. read more

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. read more

Champa - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

Maybe this was an off day; the restaurant was NOT crowded, but the service was dismal. The salads came right before MY entree was served but NOT my husband's.....he only received the small bowl of rice meant to accompany his meal that was forthcoming. My Pad Thai was lukewarm at best (I prefer my food hot) and the small bowl of rice was completely cold by the time my husband's hibachi chicken arrived at the table. By then, I was over 1/3 through my plate, as I did not want to wait any longer for my food to completely cool. The waitress did not come back and check on us until she finally brought the check, and then we had to ask a gentleman bussing a table near us to please let us pay, as she never returned. It was a disappointing experience and it may be quite a while before we consider returning. read more

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. read more

Enjoyable food and atmosphere. Good variety of menu options for regular, gluten free, and vegetarian. Nice family or group option.

We came in early Saturday afternoon, and were seated in the bar room, which was very open, and well appointed. The waitstaff were well dressed, and the young lady who served us was very friendly. The beverages and lunch were delicious..cherashi box and it was very good. Highly recommend ! read more

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. read more

I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed this place yet but Champa is a great option for those in the Hendersonville NC area looking for solid sushi options among other Asian cuisine. The place has a ton of seating and we've never had an issue being immediately sat. For those interested in a more unique experience, ask to sit in front of the sushi chef and what him work. My go-to is the Yummy Yummy roll and a cup of the Tom Yum soup. It's the perfect amount of food and never disappoints. Check it out today! read more

This place needs to rethink their menu, recipes and maybe straight up rebrand. It shows up as a Thai restaurant and I was looking forward to some good Thai food. More Accurately it's not just Thai It's one of those fusion restaurants that try to offer a variety with a mix of Thai, Japanese, Chinese fair. I find those types of restaurants are unpredictable the food at those establishments can be amazing, or dreadful. This place lands squarely in dreadful to lacklustre. The Thai food was not even ok, the sushi was meh and the lomein was average. The table order was, dumplings, lo mein, pad Thai, and larb (the server didn't even pronounce it right). The dumplings were good. The Lo mein was average, I've had way better in a food court at the mall. The sushi was ok but nothing to write home about. The pad Thai was so saucy it was almost soupy, the flavor was decent though. The larb was not larb it was horrible. Larb has onions, lime, cilantro, chilies and is fresh tasting. This wasn't larb it was really terrible Chinese lettuce cups with shiitake mushrooms, sugar and soy sauce and it was horrible I couldn't eat it because it was way too sweet for me. When the server brought it to me I was confused because it had no onions, no cilantro, no chilies.. she had already brought two dishes that we didn't order to the table so I asked if she had brought me the right thing and that I ordered the larb She impatiently replied "this is larb lettuce cups". I asked to see the menu to see if there's a description of larb as lettuce cups there's no description. How was I supposed to know they are using a Thai dish name to serve a bad version of something completely different. If it was listed as Chinese lettuce cups I wouldn't have ordered even though they can be tasty if cooked right they aren't my thing. I am a pretty tolerant person. I waited tables for years and am extremely empathetic to staff typically. But this place needs to work on everything. It has nothing but location to offer right now. read more

I found myself strolling down Downtown Hendersonville solo for Valentines. Out of town for work and alone. Stumbled into Champa for dinner. It was a sushi hibachi joint that seemed pretty busy. It was a great location right in the middle of the strip. I sat at the dead end of the sushi bar and pondered the menu. The hibachi looked good, as did the pad Thai. They even had pho. I settled in for some sushi rolls and nigiri. I had a Philly roll, a spicy tuna roll and salmon and hamachi. The nigiri was spot on. I enjoyed the Philly, the spa icy tuna roll was alright. I then added on a rainbow roll which was tasty. I washed it down with a draft Yuengling. Decent dinner. Thanks. read more

Excellent Thai food with good service. Very clean and appealing place to relax and eat.

I ate here with my wife, sister, and brother-in-law. The service was excellent. The food was fresh and delicious. I had sushi with tuna (3 different kinds) and unagi. They were all great. We split a Godzilla roll, which was very good. My dining companions were all impressed with their dinners - a varieity of rolls and chicken satay. The noise level was low enough for easy conversation at the table. I would definitely come here again! read more

I ordered my meal through Yelp for pickup/to go. Tonight's Hibachi rice meal was very different than my last order a few weeks ago. I wonder if they had a different cook than last time. The chicken and vegetables seemed almost burnt, very charred. Also, there weren't as many vegetables this time. I was so excited to eat since last time it was fabulous. This time it was "meh" at best. Just disappointed. The egg drop soup was fabulous though, like last time. read more

I just came back to Flat Rock after living here for almost a decade. I was so happy that Champa survived Covid and is still thriving. The sushi is the best I have ever eaten and the staff is wonderful and welcoming. Couldn't believe they remembered me after five years. The menu is superlative, the cocktails are excellent and there is more than a well-stocked sushi bar with an incredible chef. I DO miss the mountains and I can't believe there is such a marvelous place so far from the sea. read more

Stopped by for lunch while walking in downtown Hendersonville. Food was fresh and good. Service was a little rough, but I think everyone is having a rough time now with getting good help. We sat outside on the sidewalk which was nice to feel the breeze and people watch while we waited on our food. Chairs were comfy and table was clean. Our food arrived, my salad never arrived, and the waitress never came back to check on us, so I couldn't ask her for it :(. At the end, I eventually had to go inside to pay our bill because we were sitting outside forgotten for so long. When I went inside I was promptly helped. Nice place, food is decent, service needs improvement. Would possibly return. read more

Ok this place may be ok for those without a gluten sensitivity. My wife had avoided gluten for 10 years and let the waiter knew she was gluten free. Plenty of sushi options that are gluten free. Server had no idea and one sushi order had something crispy. Chef came out and confirmed gluten was present. Chef said nothing else had gluten but a food smart server said another order has eel sauce, which had gluten. All in all they were very unknowledgeable about the food they were serving and especially about gluten allergies. They did comp the meal which should be expected, so that was nice. Meanwhile my wife already feels sick so that is a nice weekend night ruiner for both of us. Gluten people beware read more
