I ordered online and got carryout one night to eat on the balcony of my AC Asheville hotel. The restaurant 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. read more

We went in on a busy-ish Saturday afternoon. We had a party of three and were seated after a few minutes of waiting. Once we were seated our waiter took our order. We got our drinks (waters) and waited about 15-20 minutes or so for our first order to come out. We did order a decent amount but I wasn't a fan of how everything came in waves. We received our appetizers first (miso soup) and Yellowtail Shooters. We had to wait another 15-20 minutes for another dish to come out. Our friend had ordered some nigiri and the sea bass or breem had a bone in it. We notified the waiter and they were kind enough to give him a different piece of nigiri. We had to wait another 30 minutes or so to get our orders of the Bluefin Tuna Deluxe. The Akami was fine but the otoro and chu toro were slightly fishy and had a lot of cartilage in it. I will say the wasabi sacue they have is pretty good but overall the wait times for our food and the fact that it came out in waves definitely hampered the experience as well as the mediocre tuna. The inside definitely felt more like a Chinese restaurant with the red and black design. read more

I had the sycamore kisses specialty roll and the pork tonkotsu ramen and both were fantastic!! The roll is tempura shrimp and spicy tuna inside with salmon, tuna and yellowtail on top with an amazing sauce. The ramen was outstanding. As good if not better than the ramens I have had in NYC and Hawaii. The service was polite and on point. Everything was as served fresh/hot and I was checked on frequently. The place has the typical Japanese decor. I sat at the sushi bar but on a Sunday night it was pretty empty. I definitely recommend this place. read more

We sat at the sushi bar. We ordered entirely too much food, but everything was really good and the fish was fresh. The presentation was on point. The restaurant was bustling on a Saturday night. I've been told their ramen is great. I will be back to try it. read more

Maguro - Sashimi and sushi platter - Desserts Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

The food here is fantastic and if there are people in your party that don't care for sushi there are plenty of other options. Our server was great and flawlessly kept up with our party of 9. My sushi was wrapped in cucumber, which is my favorite and they don't do it everywhere. I also had an order of pot stickers that were tasty. My single roll and app were enough to satisfy me. Everyone was very happy with their food from hibachi to Bao to sushi! The espresso martinis didn't get a glowing review and all our food came out at different times over at least 10 minutes so it left many of us waiting for the birthday boy to get his food before we would dive in... at least with sushi I wasn't concerned about it getting cold. read more

There is suddenly no shortage of sushi/ramen joints in Asheville, which for a sushi/ramen lover isn't a bad thing (though I'd really love to see just one great pho place...I digress). The wife and I stopped in to try this new addition to the scene and left impressed. The space is a good size with quite a few tables and a good number of sushi bar seats. I wouldn't say there is anything remarkable about the setting or decor, but on a busy Saturday evening the vibe was relaxed and comfortable. The menu is extensive, including a nice sake list, copious sushi/sashimi options, and some interesting tapas and mains. If you can't find something that interests you, that's totally on you. If you have troubles making decisions, maybe bring a menu buddy to help you make the final call. It is not an inexpensive menu, so be prepared to spend a few bucks. The portions are generous, so there is balance. The sushi roll we had was well made, perfectly presented, and delicious. The yakisoba stir-fry was quite tasty, a nice depth of flavor. If you dig on octopus, the tako carpaccio was excellent (that citrus yuzu...). The spring rolls and miso were exactly as they should be. The service was friendly and accurate, even if a little slow at times due to the Saturday evening rush. We weren't in a hurry, so no big. The food came out quickly and accurately. If you love sushi or ramen or stir fry or sake - stop in and check out this new spot. read more

The service was attentive and friendly. The decor has a beautiful Japanese aesthetic, creating a relaxing and inviting ambiance that's perfect for both casual and special occasions. The sushi was solid, with decent quality and good portion sizes. I really enjoyed the stir-fried udon. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the balance of meat, vegetables, and noodles was spot on -- it was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Maguro. The hamachi kama was the standout for me - perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I actually like it so much, I came back a few days later to have it again. The yellowtail shooters were also great; I didn't realize they came with saki, but it turned out to be a nice surprise pairing. I tried the seafood ramen. The broth was light, which went well with the seafood. I am curious to try the tonkatsu to see how rich the broth will be. The stir-fried noodles were good too, although I felt like it could use a touch more seasoning. The restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere, and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. I'm not entirely sure how traditional some of the dishes were, but they are tasty. read more

My daughter and I had a great dinner at Maguro on our last night in Asheville. The waitress was very nice and friendly as well.

We had a reservation for 5:15 but we're early enough we didn't need it! It was very busy by 6:30 though for future Intel :-) they were VERY kind and allowed us to move to a bigger table too!! read more

This place has great sushi. Fresh tasting and great selection. I came here today for lunch. The waiter took my order, forgot my drink and forgot my dietary needs. I appreciated that he was trying to be like one of those waiters that just look at you when they take your order but he needed to write things down. The three starts are for the fresh tasting fish and great sushi. This place lost two starts for service. read more

Our second time here! Wonderful fresh food, great service and a fun atmosphere. The sashimi spoons are one of our favorites!! read more

We tried the Patton sushi roll, which was quite good, as well as the steak lo mein. The highlight of the experience was the panang curry ramen with rare pepper steak. So flavorful! Our entire party enjoyed their meals and experience here. read more

Maguro - Panang Curry Ramen With Rare Pepper Steak. - Desserts Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Me and my husband decided to try this place while visiting Asheville. We did feel very welcome in this establishment. We ordered Pork Gyozas they were absolutely delicious. With it being cold outside we both decided to order ramen different types. Based off of our bowls and the contents of the bowls it was hard to distinguish which was which. When I see ramen at other restaurants I typically order Shoyu, there were some good ingredients within the bowl but the thing that we both agreed on was that the corn used in both bowls came from a can it had a metallic taste to it. We both came to the conclusion that the corn and the bok choy were the most out of place based off of how it was cooked. We also agreed that for the price of each bowls that we were pretty underwhelmed with the quality of the ramen. I will say that the atmosphere for the restaurant was beautiful, beautiful art pieces and well-lit. My thing about restaurants is that when there is an overwhelming amount of items on the menu I tend to get concerned about the quality of individual plates. I will say the presentation of the food was beautiful. Our server was very sweet and friendly. I just feel that what we got should be improved upon. read more

I can't say enough good things about this spot! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and top-notch! Everyone made us feel welcome without being overbearing. The sushi itself was outstanding: fresh, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor. Every roll we tried tasted like it was crafted with care. Would definitely recommend the Tokyo roll as well as the Tom Wolfe roll On top of all that, the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you get. It's rare to find a place that delivers both amazing food and an affordable price point, but this restaurant nails it. We'll definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommend to anyone who loves sushi (or just loves great food and service). read more
