INCREDIBLE! I have had so much Thai food in my life, and JAZMIN was easily one of the best. The flavors, textures, and quantities were all prepped to the MAX. The food was just outstanding. I had the Beef Massaman Curry -- WOW. The creamiest and tastiest curry. The Roti Canai and Shanghai Chicken Dumplings were the best way to start the meal, so so flavorful and just a great blend of new flavors. The Drunken Udon was not to be missed either. All around incredible! Atmosphere is cozy and bustling! Brandy our waitress was so great as well! read more

Unfortunately, I had a really disappointing experience here. We came in for an early dinner around 4:30 - 5 PM and ordered the chicken dumplings and spicy edamame to start. The biggest issue was finding a massive bone inside one of the chicken dumplings. I brought it to our waitress's attention, but her reaction felt surprisingly unconcerned given what had happened. They did bring out a complimentary dessert as an apology, which I appreciated, but it didn't really make up for the experience. The spicy edamame was also extremely overcooked. The outer shell/pods were so soft that they were literally falling apart as I tried to get the edamame out. Even stranger, there were small bits of what appeared to be ground meat mixed in with the edamame. Between that and how overcooked it was, honestly made me question whether the dish had been freshly prepared. It also wasn't busy at all when I was there, so I was surprised by how slow the service was. Most of the staff seemed to be standing around chatting rather than checking on tables. The restaurant had a relaxed, quiet atmosphere when I arrived for an early dinner, although the lack of a crowd made the slow service even harder to understand. I understand that mistakes happen, but finding a bone in a dumpling, receiving poorly prepared food, and then feeling like the concern wasn't taken very seriously made this a pretty unpleasant experience overall. I wouldn't return based on this visit. read more

JAZMIN is a Pan-Asian restaurant in downtown Asheville. The inside is decorated with bright red walls with several tables and booths scattered around. There is also outdoor seating if preferred. Our server was so sweet and attentive! She stopped by periodically to refill our waters. Plus, our food came out in a timely manner. My cousins and I got a variety of items from the menu: Roti Canai, Vegetable Spring Rolls, Jade Shrimp Dumplings, Lemon Chili Fish, Vietnamese Basil Salmon, and Drunken Udon with Chicken. My appetizer was the Roti Canai which was very solid. The coconut flavor came through a bit in the curry which was very flavorful, although a bit salty? I loved the pieces of chicken and potato in it, which paired perfectly with the roti canai. There were only two pieces, but I wish there were more. I tried a bit of the Jade Shrimp Dumplings and they were okay. Definitely a sweeter flavor for the filling? It might taste better dipped in soy sauce or more chili oil. My main entree was the Drunken Udon with Chicken. It definitely tasted like drunken noodles; the sauce was coated well on the udon. However, I felt like it was too saucy at times which also meant it tasted a bit salty at times too. I did like how tender the chicken was. My cousins enjoyed their seafood entrees. Overall, I would give JAZMIN a 3.75/5 stars if I could. While the service was fantastic, I thought that the food I had was alright. A bit too flavorful at times in terms of the saltiness. I do like that there is a lot of variety on the menu, so there is always something for someone to eat. read more

Singapore Sling - good, fairly strong cinnamon flavor but adding the lemon cuts it Chefs special pot stickers beef and scallions - good. The sauce was somewhat meh but the stickers themselves were fantabulous! Handmade and it shows. Veggie salad rolls - good! Love the sauce but man are they hot when they come out! Be careful or you'll burn your mouth lol Drunken Udon - yes! Thick noodle fills you up and the sauce is flavorful and satisfying Thai Green beans - yummy! Great flavor but light. Ask for more and maybe sesame seeds too! Thai Green curry - good but the greens create a little overpowering flavor over the curry sauce itself Waiter was extremely nice and attentive. read more

Absolutely our favorite restaurant in Asheville. Off the charts delicious dumplings that I will dream about for days. We also had chicken satay which was good with a kick too but after the dumplings nothing was going to compare. It will be our first option next time we are in the area as I would. love to try their noodles too! read more

We chose Jazmin for dinner, wanting to enjoy Pan Asian fare. I got the Drunken Noodles with Shrimp. The food was very good, but the portion seemed to be small for the $20 price. It only had a few shrimp in it. At the end of my meal I definitely was not full. The food had good flavor but I certainly would have wanted 25% more of it. read more

Good Asian food and nice location. I think I came at the wrong time, 11:30am for lunch. The staff were busy prepping for the day ahead and seemed to not be ready for customers that day. Staff were kind and the food was delicious but the service was slow. I was only one of two customers. I think if I came at a busy time it would be not as slow. The location, interior and al fresco dining in the heart of downtown Asheville is a top choice for a diner. Portions were small and slightly more than I expected but tasted great. read more

This is our second time coming here. They have a nice little patio with nice music playing in the background. The service is good and they are attentive. She checked in often. We ordered the chicken wonton soup, Shanghai chicken dumplings, beef siu mai dumplings, and the Thai basil beef. Two of us shared everything and it was more than enough. The wonton soup is really good. The broth is really flavorful and so are the wontons. I also love the mushrooms in it. We also loved the chicken Shanghai dumplings. Very flavorful and they have a nice spice to them. The Thai basil beef was also good. There is a lot of beef, but also a good amount and mix of vegetables which I love. It has zucchini, onions, carrots, and cauliflower. The beef siu mai dumplings were ok, but they weren't as flavorful as the other things we ordered. Overall, I recommend checking it out. We will definitely be back to try mote dishes. read more

In the search for that exotic restaurant with invigorating flavors and just the perfect presentation, nutrient-rich Asian restaurant in Singapore, Dubai, London, New York, India or Taiwan you had been to but not found locally? This is it - what you are searching for is "Jazmin Pan Asian in Asheville North Carolina" #PanAsianCuisine You will find best of Thai, Japanese, Indonesian, Malaysian and other Fusion dishes. Your cravings for Din Tai Fung or creative fancy dumplings will be surpassed here. #AsianFood If you are traveling through smokies, doing a road trip from Virginia, Tennessee, Carolinas across to, Destin, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Boone, Mississippi, Georgia or Florida, this is at the cross roads and highly encouraged to stop by. The restaurant theme and decorations are a treat - it takes you on a journey to Bali, and the servers (Emily, Jay and all others) and owners (Rajbir and Susie) garnish that experience with just the right hospitality you are looking for to have a memorable and refreshing time. Sharing photos of a few items - the rest of the menu is yet to be explored! #TasteOfAsia 1) Papaya Salad - supreme, crispy, healthy and bursting with fresh flavors - very innovative dish 2) BokChoy Dumpling - packed with greens, veggies, served over sichuan oil. #VeggieDumplings 3) Corn Fritters - crunchy and great for kids. 4) Green Curry - we usually have good red or Penang curries and have rarely come across an amazing green curry. The coconut milk based flavorful curry they offer is singularly delightful! I'd say come to Asheville if you are on the east coast just for this curry. #CurryLover 5) Tom Yum soup - great appetitzer and while there are loads of good Tom Kha soups out there .. there is a gap and opportunity for a fantastic Tom Yum like the one by Jazmin. Galangal, Kaffir and Lemongrass are steeped fresh to make a magical aromatic soup. 6) Pineapple fried rice - my favorite Malaysian curry rice.. sprinkled with cashews, raisins and veggies. 7) Honey chilli glazed french fries. Crisp, unique and yummy. Good quality and healthy. 8) Drinks - replace your typical Thai tea with these exotic coconut rich drinks 9) Pad Thai, Nasi Goreng, Udon noodles #AsianNoodles #TofuRecipe #VegetableStirFry 10) Love all the deserts. Crispy wontons/noodles they make go very well with their ice cream. My new replacement for the Fried Banana ice cream. So much lighter and ecstatic. The best part of all these dishes are vegetarian friendly by default. You do not need to make modifications. Fish sauce, oyster sauce, eggs are not in broths, noodles nor in batters. * #VegetarianAsian * #PlantBasedAsian * #AsianVegan * #MeatlessMonday * #VeggieLovers #JapaneseVegetarian / #JapaneseCuisine #ThaiVegetarian / #ThaiFood And the loads of vegetarian dishes we tried are just 30% of the menu -- for those of you with a wider palette and no dietery restrictions, there is a large selection of options to experience each time you come back. We appreciate everything was made with high quality ingredients, least oily, light, nutrient packed, and no cheap spices or chillis. We also found another special strength that we really loved is that everything is and feels/prepared fresh on the go. This is a big difference you can tell and will certainly enjoy. #AshevilleRestaurants #FoodieGram #BestOfAsheville #BestOfWNC read more

Visited Asheville for baecation to celebrate our anniversary and I was craving some Tom Yum soup. My partner and I stumbled upon Jazmin and decided to give it a try! We absolutely loved everything we ordered-- and it was easily the best tom yum soup I've ever had! I almost went back to the kitchen to ask for the recipe. The service was wonderful-- shout out to Jay! He even brought us a dessert to help us celebrate. We sat outside under the patio, and enjoyed the weather and ambiance. If you're reading this and contemplating dining here, this is your sign! read more

Great dinner at Jazmin. In town for a conference so it was nice to get out and experience some of Ashevilles special vibes. There were six of us and we had a great spot outside, lots of people watching. Our server was very informative and helpful. I got the fish special which was delicious. Several got the pot sticker special and also pad Thai. Highly recommend - everything was delicious !! read more

Visited for the first time during our trip to Asheville and it was a bit disappointing. The staff were very nice and friendly, however, the service was so slow and it took an hour to get the drunken udon noodles. We got an appetizer and that took around 30 minutes to receive. We ordered coffee and that took about 10 minutes to get as well. The restaurant is nice and has indoor, patio and bar seating but the inside is a bit crowded. read more

Jazmin - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Hmm. A pretty typical downtown Asheville tourist restaurant. Not bad, not authentic, about 30% over priced with a thin-concept adult contemporary vibe. The staff was abundant and friendly but that didn't prevent some confusion in the kitchen from forgetting a dish in our order. Took a bit to get that noticed and fixed. The pan-Asian dishes tastes like a slightly upscale version of each dish is supposed to taste. They are designed to pop with flavor, sugar and color in that sort of corporate Vegas hotel kinda strategy. I really liked the corn fritters. The curry with the roti cani was spot on but the bread itself lacked layers. The soups were quite good with the wonton being a more Vietnamese style with strong ginger notes. The string beans had a typical sweet brown sauce. A bit too sweet. The sweet and sour pork was a refined old school mashup with minimal breading and ketchup vinegar sauce. But oddly uneven in the sizes of the ingredients which to me is a sign of inauthenticity. I understand the place in the world for this sort of spot. It is a crowd pleaser where your in-laws or meet up with a group but I admit it does rub me the wrong way when they don't dare to have chopsticks at the table. read more

I wanted to wait a few weeks to visit the newly opened Jazmin to avoid any new restaurant issues. Everything was awesome! We ordered a variety of small plates and shared between four of us.

Wonderful birthday dinner. Our Server/Wait staff was exceptional! The food was good. my shrimp appetizer was exceptional my wife had the chix dumplings. They were both tasty.

This place has been opened for about 3 weeks. Our server, Rachel was very pleasant and gave our party time to catch up once she found out it was a cousin meet up. We ordered an appetizer of spring rolls which were served nice and hot. They had a nice crisp to them. The inside was a nice combo of tables set up to serve 2 and up to a party of about 6. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Two of us had the miso shrimp which was served with plenty of veggies. One got Kung Pao chicken which was a hit. The last person in our party got the chicken karpow, which was ground chicken and green beans. It had good flavor but they wished the green beans were bigger. If in the area again would try again. read more

After hearing that others had enjoyed eating at Jazmin, we decided to give it a try. The dining room was nicely decorated and the seating was comfortable. Our server was friendly and did a good job keeping our water glasses full. We were very happy that she let us know that the bottled water cost $9. We were very satisfied with our tap water. We were trying to be health conscious and there were several items on the menu which would allow that. I ordered the Wok-Tossed Asian Greens and added an order of tofu to go with it and my husband had Vegetables In Thai Green Curry. Both dishes had great flavors, but I was about a third of the way through my dish before the steamed tofu was served. I would have liked it served at the same time so it could have soaked up some of the flavor from the vegetables. Also, while some of the cubes of tofu were room temperature, many were downright cold. This is why I only gave 3 stars. I'll continue my search for great Asian food in Asheville. read more

Jazmin is a new pan-Asian restaurant at the site of the former Mayfel's across from Pritchard Park in the heart of downtown Asheville. The site has been remodeled into a cozy space that evokes a restaurant in Thailand or Indonesia without looking like a theme park. Both indoor and (heated) front patio seating. Inside it's noisy, but in a good way that allows you to have lively conversation with a group and not feel like you're making too much noise. The service is top-notch. Considering this is still the soft opening period, the wait staff worked together seamlessly and coordinated very well with the kitchen staff so that the timing of cocktails, appetizers and entrees was perfect. Even though the place was packed on a Saturday nigh and there was a wait, we did not feel rushed at all. We started with cocktails and appetizers. The standout cocktail was the passionfruit citrus spritzer. The Singapore Sling was also good. The Westbrook White Thai beer paired especially well with the food. For appetizers we had: (special) mushroom dumplings (savory delight in every bite!), pork potstickers (good, with good dipping sauces) and the star -- crispy honey, chili potatoes (perfect combination of sweet and spicy, basically Thai french fries). For entrees we had: chicken phad Thai (very good), Thai basil beef (the beef was wonderful, amplified by the peppery Thai basil that contrasted well with a sweet chili paste), chicken krapow (the chilis in this dish gave it a great flavor profile, but only eat them directly if you like a lot of heat. Note: one member of our group found this dish a bit too salty, although I didn't notice that at all), and shrimp mee sapam with Phuket "hawker style" noodles (the shrimp was fantastic, tender and not chewy at all, the sauce was nice and the noodles themselves were probably the second best Asian style noodles I've ever had). Overall this place is a great addition to Asheville's Asian food scene. It's a little pricier than other Asian restaurants in town, but the food quality, presentation and service are all a cut above, so the higher price point is worth it. We'll be back to try more offerings from this large and varied pan-Asian menu. read more

An early closure at another restaurant created the opportunity to try Jazmin. We began with the Whiskey Sour cocktails and fantastic Beef Siu Mai and the Jade Shrimp Dumplings.

We had a great experience at Jazmin! First thing first, make a reservation! The inside is a bit small so there is limited seating. They do have a pretty spacious outdoor area though. We were in Asheville for our wedding anniversary. When I booked the reservation, I added that to it. We were greeted by a very friend host (owner or manager?) who was elated that it was our anniversary. He asked how many years and thanked us for choosing to spend it at Jazmin. He told us to pick whatever open table we wanted. The restaurant was pretty busy as our visit went on but our server, Jessica, was attentive and available for us. The entire staff appeared to enjoy being there. The cocktails were delicious. I ordered the Lychee Blossom and my husband had the Blush Geisha. We had the vegetable spring rolls and pork potstickers to start. The spring rolls were perfect; they came out warm and crispy. The insides had a nice flavor and the dipping sauce had a little kick and tasted great with the rolls. The potstickers were fine in my opinion. My husband loved them though! They had a nice crisp from the pan but the rest was a little doughy to me. My husband got the KungPao chicken and I did the chicken Phad Thai. The Kung Pao chicken had a great spice level. The Phad Thai was pretty good. It was a little too much sauce for me but the sauce tasted great. We weren't going to have dessert but the manager sent us over a mango tapioca dessert to celebrate. It was a nice, light taste to end the night! We highly recommend visiting Jazmin! read more

In a world where restaurants too often feel like transactions--order, eat, leave--Jazmin feels like a quiet act of defiance. A reminder that food, at its best, isn't just sustenance; it's memory, resilience, and pure, unfiltered heart on a plate. This new spot in downtown Asheville, at 22 College Street, comes from the same wonderful family behind Laila (and the beloved Andaaz, which Hurricane Helene tried--and failed--to wash away for good). They've risen from floodwaters and loss with something even more ambitious: Jazmin, a pan-Asian love letter that pulls flavors from across the continent--vibrant street eats reimagined with elegance, bold spices that hit like a memory you didn't know you had, dishes that dance between familiar comfort and thrilling discovery. The food? Damn near transcendent. Layers of texture and heat that make you pause mid-bite, close your eyes, and just feel it. A wide-ranging menu that refuses to be pinned down--think masterful curries, fresh takes on classics, and creations that taste like someone traveled the back roads of Asia and brought the best secrets home. Every plate arrives with care, precision, and an unmistakable soul. But the real magic is in the room. The service isn't polished performance; it's genuine warmth, the kind you get when family opens their door and says, "Come in, eat, stay a while." Smiles that reach the eyes, recommendations given like they're sharing a family recipe, attention that makes you feel seen, not served. Asheville has no shortage of good eats, but places like Jazmin are rare landmarks--proof that the greatest kitchens aren't always in fancy zip codes or under Michelin lights. They're here, run by people who've poured their lives into the fire, lost much, and come back cooking with even more fire. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a comeback story wrapped in flavors that will haunt you in the best way. If you're in these mountains, hungry for something real, go. Sit at a table, order whatever calls to you, and let them feed you. You'll leave full--not just in the belly, but in the kind of way that makes you grateful for second chances, good people, and food that reminds you why we bother eating together at all. Jazmin isn't just worth five stars. It's worth seeking out, worth telling your friends about, worth falling in love with. Just like we did. Go hungry. Leave changed. read more

Our group of eight descended on Jazmin on a Friday night. They were able to accommodate us on their heated outside patio. The waitress was friendly and efficient. We ordered cocktails, beer, and wine--all very good. The menu is Asian fusion; it is not attempting to be "authentic." A specialty is different types of dumplings. Two of us shared shrimp dumplings and Shanghai chicken dumplings. These were excellent. There is a good seafood selection and I had the very nice lemon chili sea bass as my main course. The restaurant is handsome and the food is beautifully presented. My only small complaint--and this is not the restaurant's fault--is there is a somewhat noisy "drum circle" close by on Friday nights when the weather is good. This is not my cup of tea, but others may like it. read more

Food is definitely overrated. Flavor was mediocre and obviously catering to the palates of non-Asians. The service was very good.

Among many good things, their delicious dumplings are my favorites on the menu. Good enough to go back the next day! Shrimp, beef, chicken are all very worthy. But the bokchoy chestnut are outstanding. All served with yummy sauces. Also very much enjoyed the basil fried rice. I've been there 4x in the last month. read more

WARNING: MENU LISTED INGREDIENTS THAT NEVER SHOWED UP WARNING: FOOD DESCRIPTIONS DID NOT MATCH WHAT WAS SERVED WARNING: PHOTOS ONLINE LOOK NOTHING LIKE THE REAL FOOD WARNING: MANY REVIEWS DO NOT MATCH THE REAL EXPERIENCE I spent $70 on lunch at Jazmin and left furious. The menu descriptions sounded great but when the food arrived, several things listed on the dish simply weren't there. What I got felt stripped-down and thrown together, like corners were cut everywhere. On top of that, the pictures online and on the website did not match reality at all. The plating, portions, and quality looked completely different smaller, sloppier, and nowhere near what was advertised. The food itself was bland and absolutely not worth the price. If this is considered "authentic," I must be missing something because it tasted generic and uninspired. Service didn't help. Most of the staff looked irritated and worn out, like they hated being there. It created an uncomfortable, rushed vibe the entire time. And honestly, after eating here, I don't understand how so many glowing reviews exist. A lot of them read nothing like the experience I had they feel completely disconnected from reality. For $70, I expected something memorable. Instead, I walked out angry, disappointed, and feeling misled. If you want value or honesty in what you're ordering, I would strongly look elsewhere read more

Very popular new place. Only opened about a month ago and owners are working the front and helping out where needed. Service was a touch slow but food and drinks were absolutely a 5/5. First off I want to say, finally a place that doesn't charge the same price for mocktails as they do for alcoholic drinks. Second, I got the seabass and it was the most tender and delicious fish I've had in a long while. Comes with two rather larger sized filets with bok choy and some lemon. My only criticism is I felt a bit penny pinched on the rice. The dishes come with a tiny half filled bowl of rice and when I asked for a little more to finish my entree I didn't realize it was an extra charge. I'd rather the prices just be upped instead of feeling transacted from rice. Great place will 100% be back! read more

Beware of fake reviews. This is not one of them. I ate here tonight and was angry when I left. I wished the server gave me time to get into the dish before being immersed with a table that ordered drinks. First off, The entree was far from described on the menu. No spinach, carrot or fried garlic. They put in whatever, including LOTS of Scallions and onions. Had to double check, (twice), but NOTHING on menu described what I received. It was also super fatty! I thought Id mistakenly ordered pork belly, nope. So much fat it was impossible to get around, especially since it was obscured/breaded. I left most the "meat" on the plateUnfortunately the Server somehow didn't notice. My companion said his curry was subpar and not good. The appetizer was also lacking. No papaya, one micro piece of mandarin and mostly just lettuce. Id like to give the place a second chance since I am actually a local but it's not worth the expenditure. read more
