    The people were nice and the food came out quick. They have a sushi bar, comfy seating, all this and that. I enjoyed my lotus ramen, though the pork in it was pretty bland. The noodles and the broth was yummy though. My kid got the side noodle and the chicken kurage, and honestly their food and the gyoza were *amazing*. Would get those again for sure.

    Not a good first time experience using kickbackavl and ordering from Sumo Asian was excited to order from here and to use kickbackavl and for what we paid should have been better on both kickbackavl delivery and Sumo not sure I will order again

    Yummy Sumo!

    They are always super friendly and the food is wonderful. Great sushi and hibachi!! The inside of the restaurant is super nice as well.You should try it..

    Good service, we were greeted & seated quickly, good food, nice seating, we prefer a booth which they had, quiet for the most part & fair prices.

    Excellent food and very fast service. Nice to avoid the downtown Hendo crowds and get quality Asian food. Ribeye teriyaki was perfectly seared and disappeared before I could snap a photo! The miso soup was delicious. May seriously reconsider downtown Hendo Sushi next time prices at Sumo were very competitive!

    SO excited I found this place. Came on a Saturday for lunch. It is the cleanest restaurant I've visited in a long time. It's decorated well, which is not something I normally notice. But most importantly, the food. So tasty, plated nicely, and the price made me very happy. Service was stellar. I have nothing but good things to say. This is now my new regular place.

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.

    We appreciate the Yelp recommendations to try Wasabi…read more I am often skeptical of places along a main tourist area but Wasabi is the real deal...at least for the area. We were quickly seated at the sushi bar and the restaurant filled up quickly with other lunch clientele after that time. Sushi chef was efficient and our eel roll was fresh and delicious. Only 8 pieces so not that large. Would have paid more for a larger portion as we were sharing everything. Hot melt in your mouth yummy shumai were devoured. I saved some wasabi to add a little spice. Tempura appetizer included 2 large shrimp and veggie assortment. All around good meal!

    We came here after seeing it on Mountain Xpress's Best of WNC. I appreciated the vegetarian sushi…read moresection of their menu and they had plenty of non-sushi vegetarian options as well. I ordered a house salad and 3 sushi tolls - sweet potato, avocado, and mushroom and cream cheese (which I had never seen before). The prices were not bad for sushi. We came on Saturday night of a holiday weekend. We weren't expecting to be sat down right away because of how packed downtown was that night, but we were happy to get a table for two right away! Service did take a while, but we understood because of how full it was. Once we ordered, the food came out quickly and the add-ons we requested, like sauce, came out right away! I was let down by the house salad because it did not seem fresh. The ginger dressing was delicious, but some of the lettuce looked like it had been cut a while ago or stored for a while. The sweet potato roll was great, but I wish it had been dressed up a little bit perhaps with a drizzle of eel sauce on top. They brought me a side of the eel sauce quickly, though, when I asked, which was very appreciated. The avocado roll was top tier - fresh and a nice portion of avocado in the roll. The mushroom and cream cheese roll was interesting. It was probably my least favorite, but I just don't usually go for raw mushrooms. I wished they could have a veg combo with cream cheese, like with cucumber or another fresh veggie. Overall, we had a positive experience, but maybe knowing it had been so highly rated, I had higher expectations. I'd like to go back and try some of their non-sushi items, which looked good too.

The shumai and dumplings are alright, too. Be sure to get additions for the ramen, cause those eggs are so good, so's the rest. My only gripe is the chicken katsu doesn't come with rice or sauce, but I don't really think it needs it, I just personally like the rice to get a little saucy. It's fine, really.

A half dozen takeout bags were lined up for pickup, yet despite the rush our order was taken promptly and dinner arrived just as quickly. The Chashu Don came as a generous bowl of warm rice topped with chopped pork in a sweet sauce. A touch on the sweet side, but flavorful and plentiful. Mrs. K. chose the vegetable ramen, which we both enjoyed. The broth was rich and satisfying, paired with gluten-free noodles and plenty of toppings. The house tofu was a bit unusual, but overall the dish was excellent. Service understandably lagged in the busy atmosphere. No one checked back at our table, our drinks went unrefilled, and I had to flag someone down for the check. Small lapses, but they slightly dulled the shine of what was otherwise a wonderful meal.
