The rolls came within about 10 minutes. Fresh and looking good. We ordered a Dynamite roll, rainbow roll, shrimp tempura and one other roll I don't recall. It came out looking good and tasted really fresh. We had tuna, escolar, yellowtail and all the goodness in these rolls. It was delicious, that's for sure, and fairly reasonably priced. It also looked great. The server was ok. Would surely go to this place again..

Instead of vodka swapped it to Gin. Ordered hibachi; steak hibachi and sushi sashimi combo - this was mind blowingly fresh! The tuna salmon melted in the mouth. The ambience was outstanding and aesthetically pleasing. Our server was very nice, male. Extremely polite and prompt. A def must go to.

We walked by Ukiah the night before and immediately noticed how beautiful the outdoor patio was and…read morehow amazing everything smelled. We saw that they were booked for the entire weekend, so we figured we'd try our luck the next night around 5 PM. Luckily, we were able to get seated right away outside! We opted for the chef's menu, which includes several pre-planned courses and is a great way to try a variety of things. There was definitely A LOT of mushroom throughout the tasting, which was a little tough for me since I don't love mushrooms. I'll eat a little, but it was surprising how frequently they were incorporated into the courses. That said, there were some definite standouts. My favorites were the wagyu appetizer, which they said is exclusive to the tasting menu, all of the raw dishes, and the pastrami brisket. And honorable mention to the desserts -- they were seriously to die for! I just wish I had more room to eat more. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, and it was such a lovely evening sitting outside in the warm weather next to the aesthetic fireplace. The pacing of the tasting menu was a little odd at times, but it ultimately worked. Best bite of the night though was the pastrami brisket with the pickled kimchi, sesame bbq sauce, pickle, a little salt, and a little wasabi...will be dreaming of this!! I definitely want to come back and try more from the regular menu. There were a lot of things that sounded amazing, and I think I'd enjoy being able to pick and choose the dishes myself!

Since my husband and I were staying at a hotel right around the corner, I thought this would be the…read moreperfect place to celebrate our 21st anniversary. We had made a reservation previously and were sat immediately when we arrived. From beginning to end, everything was absolutely fantastic. I started with the sake flight and my husband had the whiskey flight. For our meals, we decided to do the tasting meal so we would have a variety of foods. Both the drinks and food were beyond exceptional. I couldn't tell you my favorite dish because everything was just so good. Even though the portions were small, by the time we left, we were absolutely stuffed. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to celebrate something special, or want a great experience. I'm definitely going to tell friends and family they should visit as well.

I ordered online and got carryout one night to eat on the balcony of my AC Asheville hotel. The…read morerestaurant looked attractive inside, and although I had seen some reviews complaining about the service, that wasn't my experience at all. Three different people smiled, greeted me and asked if I needed any help, while someone had already gone to get my order. The pork gyoza was small but good, as was the shrimp tempura. Everything tasted freshly made. My sushi rolls weren't as pretty or fancy as some of the ones I had seen in the review pictures, but they were still tasty. I was still a little hungry afterward, so I went downstairs to Mary's Mountain Cookies. One of those huge Snickerdoodle cookies was more than enough to take me from slightly hungry to stuffed while I enjoyed a wonderful sunset over Asheville from my hotel balcony. Fresh sushi, a giant cookie and an Asheville sunset. Thank you Maguro for adding to the experience.

Extremely well done. I showed up at the end of the day looking for some food and a beer, and I was…read morevery happy with the overall experience. The space was nicely decorated. The staff were extremely helpful. I mentioned I was looking for vegetarian options, and the bar tender thoughtfully guided me through the various options on both the tapas and ramen menus. That made for a great experience. In terms of the food, I opted for the miso eggplant and the garlic butter broccoli. Both were excellent. The miso eggplant is served as well cooked Japanese eggplant with a light tempura treatment and somewhat sweet miso glaze. Not too heavy, but still delicious and nicely textured. The broccoli was perfectly cooked with lots of flavor. It made for a nice pairing. In terms of beer, they had a few different local beers on tap. I went for a local pale ale. Great. In any case, this place is highly recommended. I suspect their vegetarian ramen would probably be pretty good, but that was a little heavier than what I was looking for. It was nice to have a few other vegetable forward options available as a backup.

I would give this a 5/5, but the waitress was a bit odd and weirded us out. We had already eaten a…read moredinner at a different restaurant, but wanted a snack so we split a ramen, I assume it's taboo because the waitress kept asking if we wanted more or anything else like 3X & we kept letting her know this was the only thing we wanted since it was a rainy day we were craving something with a broth. The entire bowl was phenomenal & I wished we had gone back there, the boiled egg they gave was also roasted and the bamboo shoots were fresh, the meat so tender and juicy, and the broth is very tasty!! I craving it while typing and a watery mouth! My partner and I shared a Miso Ramen and I wish we had something similar where I live!!! The decorations were cool and retro and the staff were nice, just an odd waitress but food is amazing!

We had it with the ginger dressing. I really like a good fried tofu, especially since I have never been successful making it at home. The Agedashi had a gently crispy exterior and came out so hot and steaming that I kept burning my mouth, but it was so good I kept eating it anyway. Just perfect! It even came with an elegantly cut flower made from a carrot. My husband had the salmon roll, which was also good. We ordered a bottle of sake, and our waitress patiently helped us narrow down our choices--clear or cloudy, and what we might like from there. We appreciated her taking the time to help us choose. All that fresh, delicious food plus a bottle of sake for a great price. We really enjoyed our last dinner in Asheville at Wasabi!

I found this location! Service was superb! Both friendly and proactive + warm. Also the ambiance/interior decor is like stepping into Japan! The seafood ramen features grilled shrimp, fish cake, crabstick, scallions, and a boiled egg in a rich, 6-8 hour simmered broth. Honestly, you could tell! This is hands down some of the best ramen that I have ever had! Pure love in a bowl! The broth was filled so flavorful and smooth, and the seafood was all juicy!!! Mmm, I am reliving the moment just writing this review. I would return for sure! Check this place out! Cheers!

The ambiance was just a tad let down between traditional style combined with dragon ball posters. Coming from Japanese person, I appreciate the love of Japan but dude come on... we got original ramen and overall it was good. The soup was not what I expected. I think it was tonkotsu? Chashu brought my score down cause chashu needs to be thin to soak the flavor. We got thick piece of blubber which my daughter had a hard time chewing.

Unbelievably, the spicy onions that came in the dish were so incredible that I actually ate them by themselves. What?! Me?! I hate onions. I always order without them when I can. But suddenly, here I am on a random Thursday slurping down these onions like a whale slurping krill. Who am I? Nothing fancy about this quaint little spot. No need for fancy. You're there for the food. Eat outside if the weather allows and listen to the sounds of the city. It's neat. Friendly, attentive service (thanks, Lauren). Water glasses didn't sit half empty, empty plates didn't overstay their welcome. Overall, I'd say go.

When ordered from Archetype, the food comes out quickly and conveniently. That's a great set-up! When I came to eat at Gan Shan, we sat in their outdoor space, which was cute! Service was very friendly and accommodating as well. I don't know which dish I would pick next time between the General Tso's Tofu or the Gan Shan Rice Bowl because both were equally good! They do a great job with tofu here! The Gan Shan Rice Bowl had less tofu but more additions like pickled vegetables and kimchi. The General Tso's bowl had amazing flavor, and you didn't really need more than the tofu and broccoli! We also tried one of the ginger drinks, which was good, and some sake. It's a great place to come with a friend and share dishes to try more options. I will be back soon!
