If you don't like spicy, get the normal pork belly, the short ribs, and the bulgogi. Those are my top 4. Never did hotpot here but hotpot in general is delish so probably good here.

The restaurant is just beautiful and seating capacity is great--inside and outside. If weather is nice and permitting outside, you get a beautiful view of the mountains. The interior has a full bar and modern-decor. The menu features lots of creative fusion dishes. I enjoyed the avocado salad more than I expected. Maybe it was the ginger lemon dressing. It's light and filling. The ramen bowls are rich and the miso vegetarian Ramen is much more bold, flavorful than I had expected. The carrots and roots were caramelized with a sweetened hint. The ramen bowls are generous in size. I'm bookmarking this place to come back!!!

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.

Folks....Im here to talk about the Tonkotsu Ramen at Heiwa Shokudo. Yes, their entire menu is…read moreimmeasurably awesome but Whoever is responsible for this recipe is a true Ramen Ninja of the highest caliber. This is a 3 Michelin star worthy bowl of ramen. How do I know, because I've eaten thousands of bowls of ramen from Michelin rated shops and this tonkotsu is BETTER than ALL of them. I have been studying ramen for over 30 years. I've eaten near ten thousand bowls of ramen since I had my first bowl of authentic Japanese ramen 35 years ago. Yes I'm qualified to make this statement. And no, I'm not telling you my name. I am unaffiliated, independent and unbiased. I've been a food critic for 45 years. If you're getting a 5 star review on a dish from me, you can rest assured it's legit. My top 5 bowls of Ramen as of tonight, are now as follows. 1- Heiwa Shokudo, Asheville NC, Tonkotsu, w/extra Chashu,pork belly, extra Ajitama, black garlic paste drizzle. Kaedama. 2- Ippudo, 5th Avenue, NYC- AKAMARU SHINAJI. Yes, Heiwa Shokudo's tonkotsu is BETTER than Ippudo's, (the best tonkotsu in the world.) 3- Totto- Hells Kitchen, Miso 4- Ichiran, Brooklyn. Classic Tonkotsu w/recommended toppings. 5- Ivan Ramen, Brooklyn, Tokyo Shoyu. If you love Tonkotsu as much as I do, go order a bowl from this place. It's epic! I'm done talking now.

From the moment I sat down, Alex made me feel welcome, and it didn't take long before Lamar and Dylan had me laughing and joining in on the conversation. What really stood out was how genuine everyone was. Donovan and Angel shared stories, asked questions, and treated me like I had been coming there for years instead of just another customer. The food, as always, was absolutely amazing. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and every bite reminded me why I keep coming back. But today was about more than just great sushi. Sitting at the bar turned a meal into an experience, and the hospitality from the entire team made me feel like part of the family. I'II definitely be choosing a seat at the bar more often.

Since we got there so early, we had ordered from their cafe and their lattes were nice to sip on while walking through their edible garden! I really liked our server, a ginger man, very kind and quirky and it felt personable which I enjoy, he told us about being a Michelin recommended and I'm glad to have experienced it! For starter, I got the smoked salmon hash, and that was filling enough and very fresh! I had ordered their Philly cheese steak with auju and it was sooooo filling, I love a hearty breakfast, but I could only finish one half. I ordered their local sausage patty and it was nice and Smokey and savory! The grits were chunky and cheesy which I really enjoyed, everything was great! Love it! My partner ordered a classic breakfast and their maple bacon is sooooooooo good, I told him he needed to learn to make it because I want more! Their fruits seemed home grown and I really appreciate their decor of sexy veggies on the way! Such a cool place to eat and hang out!
