When I arrived at the restaurant, it was very slow, such as nobody else was in the restaurant. It was 3 o'clockl in the afternoon, which is to be expected. Ordered the miso soup, which was a nice size portion. There was plenty of tofu, and greens in the soup. Had a nice flavor, served warm to almost hot perfect where you could actually eat it and not burn your tongue. 7 out of 10 Beautiful, very lovely sushi, see photo. There was a nice size portion, the taste was delightful. The rice was cooked to perfection. 7 put of 10 Restaurant is very clean. Staff is friendly. 8 out of 10 I personally feel the best time to come into the restaurant is between three and five. It's not as busy. The food is still fresh and delicious. I rate the atmosphere 7. out of 10. The restaurant is right next to the gas station. Don't let that fool you this is a great little hole in the wall to visit, talk with the staff. Yes, there is a language barrier to a degree but they're so friendly and nice to take a minute how are you doing? I took the time to talk with the owner of the restaurant, I personally feel getting to know your local restaurant owners and staff is a good thing. It'll make your dining experience better. Zew, started creating sushi and cooking Japanese food back in 2001, Mr. Sushi opened in 2017, there was not very many sushi restaurants in the Asheville then. There's been many sushi restaurants come and go since then. There are Sushi/ Japanese/Hibachi restaurants in the area, however this one is truly a wonderful restaurant to visit it's quaint and down to earth-place, this is why I highly recommend this restaurant this is restaurant. with great personality. Zew is. Owners he is a delight to talk with, you see the passion in his face when he's talking about his food that he's created the original rolls that he makes. I recommend trying the Rangoon roll. There's no fish in it. It's there's imitation crab. It's a wonderful thing that he is doing here and he has truly traditional Japanese fried noodles. Which is very much a difference between the Chinese way of cooking the noodles. As much as I'd like to give five stars I cannot because I rarely give five stars. I love this place. I would return to this place and I hope that you will come to this place too and enjoy wonderful sushi and a little a hole in the wall from somebody that has compassion for the food he creates. read more

Love this little place! The staff is friendly. The sushi is excellent! And though the Bubble Tea selection is small, it's very good. Highly recommend! (My fav is the Golden Dragon Roll.) read more

The restaurant is very conveniently located on Hendersonville. Our service was very kind. That's and service was rapid. Honestly, the food was not very good. We ate less than half of it. We brought the rest home and discarded it. While the food had a very attractive appearance, the taste was just not wonderful. We spent 50.00 and did not leave ravings about how good it was or how much we enjoyed it. I do not like to review negatively but sushi should be fresh, tasty and satisfying. I don't think we will eat here again. read more

This was our first time visiting. We chose to eat here purely off of Yelp reviews. We arrived as a party of 5 for a late lunch. When we entered, we were promptly greeted and told we could sit anywhere. There was only one other small party dining in. The decor is simple but clean. Our server was nice and patient as we asked questions. There was a board with specials listed behind the register. Our server took our drink orders and then promptly returned for our food orders. He was knowledgeable about how to accommodate my son's gluten allergy. The food arrived quickly. Everything was good. The tempura batter was not too heavy. The sushi portions were generous. Overall, it was a good experience. We would definitely try them again. read more

So so good and very reasonably priced. Don't let the fact that it's attached to a gas station throw you off. Absolutely a hidden gem!

I worked at City Oyster Sushi and Raw bar in Delray Beach FL for 10 years, 4 years as the executive chef. For the price, quality, and presentation for take out, I have to give them 5 stars. I have yet to go in because of reviews and quality of service going in so i've been hesitant. however, take out has always been my go to as well as for great sushi. i've placed 8 orders so far and every single one has been fantastic. tarro tea is fantastic to and would love to try other flavors. read more

Good sushi, Good service, I would visit again. This was a nice dining experience and the food was fresh. They add a lot of extra sauces and stuff and I tend to like very plain, traditional rolls. They were very accommodating and made my sushi just the way I like it. The restaurant is small and the decor leans toward dated but the staff was friendly and the food fresh. This is not a fancy high end sushi place but it is a great take out or quick meal place to grab a bite. It was fairly quiet when we were in the restaurant, being the weekend before all restaurants went to carry out only. I think people had already started staying home. read more

Mr.Sushi - Snow Crab California Roll - Japanese Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

We are new to Asheville and decided to try Mr Sushi because it's close to where we live. We always enjoy supporting local 'Mom n Pop' businesses, as opposed to corporate, and we were not disappointed. It almost feels like grandma is lovingly making your favorite dish from behind the sushi bar. The service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. He didn't seem to mind at all that we ordered sushi 3 more times after our initial order. The sushi is fresh, well prepared, and delicious. The atmosphere is laid back, unpretentious (it's located in a small strip mall) and simple in decor. This is a welcoming place with great food and my family and I were able to relax and enjoy our time together after a long week. We're definitely going back for more. read more

Ordered take out delivery and had high hopes as this place was well represented with good reviews. I ordered Katsu Chicken and I just...don't...think... this is what a great Katsu should be. Maybe I'm wrong. It was well breaded but lightly cooked, not even medium brown or golden for that matter. Looked a bit anemic. Sauce was on the side for to go. With rice. I dunno....kind of disappointed. Like maybe people who said it was great have bland taste buds? Also ordered Hibachi Steak with Shrimp. I wanted chicken and shrimp but strangely it wasn't on their online ordering. The order form did impressively ask how I wanted the steak cooked. Never saw that before with hibachi but I checked off Med Rare since I knew it had to travel 3 miles down the road and would continue to cook. Arrived well done, so I think the temperature preference question is a glitch or template they don't know how to turn off from their ordering site. Also ordered the Golden Dragon Roll. The mango was fresh and ripe, salmon was moist. Yummy. I also liked that the entrees came with choice of rice and side salad or edamame. Both sides were good. So my impression is...the place is called Mr. Sushi. Order sushi. Its what they do best. I think the rest is a good try, but not the main focus. For hibachi, Tokyo Express is better. Not sure where great Katsu is but hopefully someone will let me know! read more

10/10 will be back! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food was outstanding! And the food came at a great price. Some music would have been good but I just enjoyed the company I was with anyway. Make sure when you go to pay attention to the chalkboard behind the register because there are specials on the board. We got 20% off on the hibachi chicken. We will be going back to get more sushi and to try the katsu next. read more

I liked it, not bad, sushi was good and fresh. Wife wasn't so thrilled with the flavors. It was reasonably crowded, seats too close to each other. But wife won't go back, so I won't either, unfortunately. Sorry Mister. read more

I found Mr.Sushi on Yelp and decided to visit based on their excellent reviews. Mr.Sushi is a small, family owned Japanese restaurant who's owners are very passionate about customer service and delicious food. From the moment you arrive, you are waited on hand and foot. The service is impeccable. The sushi was really, really good and they give you so many pieces per order. None of this "6 pieces per roll" nonsense. We also ordered the Japanese Noodles and were impressed with the amount of and variety of vegetables provided in the dish. Everything was very fresh and delicious and we look forward to our next visit. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! Sushi is fantastic, 20% off sushi on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and quality fish!! Hibachi is pretty great too. The white sauce is the best I've had. Check this place out! read more

Mr Sushi is great! We love the Sushi and the other entrees as well. It is a family favorite. We go at least a couple of times a month. The shrimp pad Thai is my favorite! read more

I have ordered twice. Meh. I'm going back to Sake Sushi in The Valley. You have a basic menu, no mackarel, no octopus or squid, no sea urchin nigiri. Really? And you call it "MISTER Sushi"? No. You're Sushi Junior. read more

So far this is the best sushi I've tried in Asheville. I'm on the hunt for better (and open to suggestions) and this is as good as it gets here. My favorite part, besides the tasty sushi, is the prices are affordable for such huge portion sizes. The largest sushi rolls! My only complaints are the menu is limited, after a handful of visits, it feels like we've tried everything. And some items are hit & miss. Didn't care much for the tempura shrimp or chicken spring roll wraps that were a special for the week. We love the Inari rolls, sweet and spicy, and a nice twist on a sushi roll. Also the crab Rangoon is good, the Carolina roll, spider roll, and scallops roll. I definitely prefer Mr. Sushi to Green Tea and Wasabi. Just know that it's not the fanciest and next to a gas station, and you won't be disappointed. read more

Mr.Sushi - Dragon roll, crab Rangoon roll, & tasty Inari roll with shrimp. May not be able to tell from the pics-- these are the biggest rolls ever! - Japanese Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

This is our second visit - both have been excellent! The Sushi (Carolina roll and Tuna Lover's roll) is fresh and delicious! Each roll has 10 pieces and is freshly made to order. We also enjoyed the coconut curry with shrimp - also a great choice. The service is great. The staff is pleasant and there is comfortable dining! Highly recommended! read more

Amazing as always!!! If you haven't had the pleasure of indulging in the incredible food that Mr. Sushi prepares fresh for you, you are missing out!!! Hands down the best Japanese food you will get in Asheville. The food is always delicious and the staff/ owners are top notch!! The owner remembers us and always greeted us warmly when we walk in, asking how we are doing and genuinely interested in what we have to say. Honestly one of our favorites in Asheville!!! Do yourself a favor and go grab a meal with them, food is the best around and the ambience of their hospitality equally matches their scrumptious food!! read more

"What kind of sushi place is this??" Says my husband as we pull into a gas station lol Intimate, cute place with good sushi. Three rolls between the two of us. Husband got the crab rangoon tempura roll, which was so good! I'd definitely get that in another visit. Carolina roll for me was kinda meh. Not much flavor, just a tad spicy and quite massive. It's difficult fitting some sushi in your mouth and this was one of those. Philly salmon roll was the basic cream cheese salmon roll and it was really good. So far the first sushi joint we've had here and I'd go back. read more

The overall experience was good but not exceptional. Being combined with a gas station kind of sets the tone. Inside of the restaurant is modestly decorated. Portion sizes are good for the price especially on the lunch menu. The spicy roll was not spicy at all so that was a bit disappointing. Cleanliness grade was 96.5 at the time of our visit. Waitress was friendly and quick to respond for refills. Bathroom was of average cleanliness. I would go again for the value and overall taste of the meal, but not necessarily for any other reason. read more

A very unassuming place, I would have never thought to visit without Yelp. It is part of a gas station complex, line you would see a Subway or something. So glad we came. The sushi was fresh and tasty and so were the rolls. We had a salmon lover, a Tuna Lover and a Crab Rangoon roll, all of which were really good. we also had an order of their Chicken Yakisoba noodles. Those were some of the tastiest I have had. All prepared in an open kitchen, fresh to order. read more

Yummy sushi for a great price! They're always very friendly too. Perfect for when I'm craving sushi but don't want to spend too much money

Unassuming, fresh, and friendly - reasonably priced. While the sushi was perfect, the dumplings app were cooked so perfectly i've not had better anywhere in the world. Normally i wouldn't comment on dumplings but these were light and amazing while still being quickly fried after steaming. Amazing! I'd like to try more- but fresh is the most important quality and the waiter / manager was super nice with everyone that walked through the door. read more

i don't like to leave bad reviews, restaurants have enough going on and don't necessarily need an internet note to tell them how to improve. that being said, i witnessed two major restaurant hygiene rules be broken. for starters, the expo is the cashier, which is not uncommon, but after paying my tab, she went back to the line without washing her hands, and proceeded to use her (very pretty) long nails to pinch jalapeño slices and place them on top of a sushi roll, gloveless. i then witnessed her handle squeeze bottles and other communal utensils before touching lemons to put them into the sushi box. at this point i stepped outside because i didn't want to see any more. when i went back in to get our order, i saw the sushi chef was chewing while working on a roll. i watched her sit down to eat some more of her dinner... she then got up, used her unwashed hands to pick rolls out of the fryer basket and cut the rolls before placing them in their box. we luckily could warm the food up at home to be safe, but when i witness things like that it makes me wonder what else is potentially unsafe, especially in a raw food environment. read more

If you're looking for ambiance may not the place, that said, the sushi selection is good as is the habachi . Service is good.

Great, fresh sushi. I had the rainbow roll. It was divine. The fish was fresh; the avocado on point, and the roll was nicely put together. It's clear that Mr Sushi uses "better" ingredients. Even the ginger and wasabi stand out. Oh, and presentation is beautiful. I had heard good things.... They were right. I'll be back. *Don't let the fact that they are located beside a gas station scare you away. It's an oasis inside. read more

I've had dinner at Mr. Sushi twice now and have been very pleased both times. Their menu is a little bit smaller than most sushi restaurants which I actually appreciate. They offer some appetizers such as seaweed salad and spring rolls but the sushi rolls are really the shining star at Mr. Sushi. The sushi rolls are very large and colorful and packed full of fresh ingredients. When I ate here alone, I ordered just one roll and it was plenty to fill me up. When I ate with my husband, we ordered two rolls and a combo (includes some sushi rolls and nigiri) and I didn't eat nearly my share and was plenty full. My husband demolished the rest and was also super satisfied. Every single thing we ate was awesome. We shared the Golden Dragon Roll, Crunchy Texas Roll and Combo #4 (Spicy tuna roll, Inari, Hosomaki roll and 4 piece Nigiri) and each was filling and full of great flavors. Mr. Sushi is located in a gas station strip in South Asheville near where I work. I am already looking forward to going back asap and bringing my coworkers or friends. YUM! read more

Sake lovers go for the fuki plum this was combo #4 customer service with a smile was swift & efficient with water & sake first sushi came soon after too i am so glad bc i was hungry delectable and affordable ($18 with this was so good!) i am too busy smacking my lips to be eloquent maybe i should have slowed down. read more

I got the black eel roll and vowed to return often for more. Great value and scrumptious easy quick food.

Way overpriced. A single 'katsu' with just a dollop of white rice and nothing else except three slices of carrot was about $14.00! Really!? Never again. read more

You would think a sushi place connected to a gas station would be anything to write home about- but this place is pretty darn great. I had the Calamari Salad appetizer. Yes, please.
