The tom kha was overly salty and the ginger lemonade was really sweet. Pad Thai and Khao soi were ok. Beef pho was terrible. Service was quick and good but the portion sizes were really small. Casual spot with reasonable prices. Definitely had much better Thai food but maybe this is typical for Thai food in this area? Note: The owner personally came out to apologize for the quality of the food and removed the disappointing items off of the bill, which I appreciate and was really kind of them.

I was craving Khao Soi again...so stopped in here on my drive back home…read more This turned out to be more of an eatery...in that you order your foods in line, then they deliver it to your table. The place was a very casual, hole-in-the-wall type place...but the foods seemed really authentic. Although everything was pretty much self-service, the staff was very friendly. So I ordered the Khao Soi w/ Chicken and Shrimp. An expensive noodle dish ($22?), but my bowl was loaded with Shrimp so I didn't mind. While the flavor was good, I found the broth a bit too thick to drink it all in. Thai Iced Tea was good, but a bit skimpy in portion despite its price point. In any case, I got to enjoy this Thai dish again. If I was to return here, I'll probably try something else.

I am glad that I stopped here! Cheers.

BBQ - Steaks - Diner Food - Fried Chicken - Cheeseburger and so on and so forth. Last night we went "Ethnic" and by ethnic I'm calling our Thai food dinner exactly that. So, Suwana's Thai Orchard makes lovely authentic Thai food; and for a southern state that's a huge compliment. We ordered (for take out): * Thai Chicken Wings - Fried and Glazed w/House Spicy Chill Sauce which were very good * Thai Fried Rice - Stir Fried Rice w /Egg, Tomato, Carrot, Scallion and chicken was great * Papaya Salad - with Green Papaya, Carrot, Tomato, Green Bean, Garlic, Calamari, Shrimp w/Chili Lime Dressing and Crushed Peanuts - also good * Yellow Chicken Curry - Coconut Milk, Thai Yellow Curry Paste, Potato, Onion Carrot, Tomato - thumbs up * We had one more undefinable dish that was the best of them all. Suwana's was quite good and I would definitely come back!

It was highly regarded before that, and offers to make many of its menu items vegan. I was a tad disappointed that the bar promised some non-alcoholic hop water options but didn't seem to have any in stock, which may relate to the storm as well. This food truck, however, delivered the goods. It is not a speedy process, and when I tried visiting before they sold out of food before the end of the day so I came early this time. They give you a buzzer so you can wander around and order drinks. When my tofu arrived, it was mouthwatering. The amount of rice was quite large, but this was some aromatic rice, and the tofu itself tasted like high quality stuff and was bathed in an herbal, spicy flavor that I imagine is about as close to Thailand as you could get in Asheville. It was a lot of money for a modestly sized disposable bowl of food, but the quality merited a visit. I doubt I could have found myself eating anything more delicious. And yet, their other menu options remained on my mind.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch for the first time yesterday. I ordered the red curry with…read morechicken, and he ordered the sesame chicken. The total for our two meals was over $40, and close to $50 with tip. Unfortunately, neither dish met our expectations. The chicken in my red curry was chewy, somewhat slimy in texture, and lacked flavor. After a few bites, I didn't want to continue eating it. The vegetables also seemed undercooked, not just al dente, but almost raw. The curry sauce itself wasn't bad, but it was a bit watery and heavily seasoned with red chili flakes, which made it difficult to taste the curry flavors. My husband's sesame chicken was also tough and difficult to chew. We were surprised to see an additional charge of nearly $4 for substituting fried rice, as that wasn't mentioned when ordering. I really wanted to like this restaurant because it's close to home and we don't have many options for this type of cuisine nearby. Unfortunately, our first experience was disappointing.

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!

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.
