    Ambiance

    This place is a Helene survivor and under new management... the food is hands DOWN some of the best curry I've ever had! Get the yellow sweet and add some spice! Also the sushi boat was amazing!! On the app side ... the crab Rangoon and dumplings were FANTASTIC! Highly recommend! Come for your birthday and get the sushi boat and some sake!!!

    I loved the decor and ambiance of this restaurant. As for service, the waiters were good about refilling our water cups and the food came out reasonably fast. I ordered the turmeric curry with chicken and it was so good!! The curry sauce had amazing flavor and the perfect hint of spice. The vegetables were soft and tender and the rice on the side went beautifully with the dish. My sisters ordered the pad Thai and pad see-ew and both of these dishes had great flavor as well. I was super impressed by all the dishes we tried here and I would love to come back and try more!

    Attentive servers and generally good food but my chicken cashew was much too salty. HH liked his dish though. Large, large servings.

    Thai Chili Asian Bistro - Ginger Chicken so good!

    Thai Chili Asian Bistro

    (49 reviews)

    This is a true hidden gem in Asheville! This restaurant changed hands about a year ago now, and…read morethough I had not tried it prior to the new owners, I can't imagine it getting any better! I love Thai food, and will honestly take any chance I can to have some, but this place is something special! The restaurant is pretty simple, it is in the corner slot on a strip mall, but the inside is very clean and peaceful, it also has an outdoor covered patio that overlooks a beautiful pond which makes for a wonderfully relaxing environment for a quiet meal. Thai chili is a small family owned restaurant, like all the best spots are, the servers are some of the nicest people I've met in a long time, and the quality of the food is unmatched in Asheville! The red curry has a wonderful thick sauce and perfect flavor, ingredients are always fresh, and I highly recommend the spring rolls, ginger stir-fry, and the pad-kee-mao. If you like spicy food, make sure to ask for the fried chili oil, they make it fresh in house and it is far better than I have had anywhere else. They also have fresh Thai birds-eye chilis which make for a wonderful side or topping to any meal. All in all, if you're in the area, make a stop here. It is well worth going a bit out of the way if you're in the mood for Thai food. The prices are good, the people and atmosphere are wonderful, and the food can't be matched! I can't say enough good things about this place!

The ambiance is super upbeat and lively. It can be busy, and there can be a wait depending on how busy it is. Though, it is worth it! I ordered the staple, chicken pad Thai!!! Spice level #4! It was delicious, flavorful, pleasantly spicy, and topped with so many fresh vegetables! The crispy spring rolls tasted like heaven!!! The sauce was so luscious and yum!!! I am glad that I stopped here! Cheers.

So, that's how I chose Thai food to close out the year. Parking. It's on Broadway. Check the signs. Don't get excited like me and pull in only to find it's for loading/unloading or handicapped. I ended up just parking in one of the lots. 3 hour parking for $18.50. I don't know if that's the standard rate or if it was inflated for NYE but after having done a few laps, I just said WTH and pulled right in. It was only a block and a half away. The place wasn't packed but bustling with to go orders. We did arrive later and by the time we left, there were only a few tables occupied. Not being busy, but also being sat where we were - service was great. Attentive as we were always within line of sight of the team and all we needed to do was make eye contact. Not that we needed to other than refills and for me, spicy chili powder/sauce. Food was good. Not spicy - but as my friend would say - nothing is spicy for me. But I wanted the added heat as it was a little chilly out. Good flavors but not explosions like I'm used to. Not that it was bad - maybe it was on the muted side for the demographics? It was a very nice tasty dinner to close out 2025!

I've only been there once, so far, considering they just opened this week. I started with the spicy tuna salad, and it was full of beautiful chunks that I THOUGHT were diced tomatoes at first, the kimchi sauce and accoutrements were very satisfying. Because it was my first time there, I also ordered pad see ew, to try their hot food. The crab Rangoon appetizer was so light, crunchy, and flavorful, I wanted more. The entree was very tasty and satisfying, though the size was a bit modest. But it is an affordable lunch special, right? Wifey tried the California rule, and reported it was perfect, spring roll was excellent, and her panang curry was excellent, I was not offered a nibble! Next time, I will try the seafood sushi...

The food was brought out randomly with some of our table receiving their plates 20 minutes before others. We also never received 2 of our sushi rolls and had to inquire about it. There was a 20 percent gratuity added to our tickets with only 5 people on our ticket. Expensive food and poor service!
