Incredible pho!!! I see why this place is always voted top restaurant/asian restaurant in South Asheville year after year. The pho broth was delicious. Asked for a few extra limes which enhanced the flavor even more, along with sriracha to taste. Fresh spring rolls were good but had too much lettuce and not enough mint/basil. Parking lot out front has plenty of parking. There are a few outdoor tables, not sure if they are used for dine in. read more

Interesting place, beautiful decor. Very busy with about 15 tables. We were not sure what to order because the place specializes in Poh. We saw some exquisite dishes come to tables around us. We ended deciding on the safe route. We ordered hot egg rolls, dumplings and garlic wings as appetizers and followed with chicken fried rice. Three thin egg rolls deep fried, almost like cigars, and sweet and savory sauce. There were 5 dumplings ... just delicious with the soy based sauce. Five chicken wings rounded out the start. We wanted them extra crispy - the kitchen did not execute. Fried rice was perfect - crunchy with plenty of protein, a combination of shrimp and chicken. Portion size was large. Would definitely return. Classic flavors, friendly service and good value. Highly recommend without any reservations. Enjoyed the experience. read more

Wild Ginger - Tofu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Ambience: Can get super busy but comfortable especially with the huge TVs showing amazing Asian food. The staff is freaking amazing, kind, friendly, and incredibly attentive. Make this the perfect spot to come with family, friends, or for a date. Food: I come here 3 to 4 times a month, yes you read that right. Hands down the best phở in Asheville. Always consistently delicious. My favorites are the B5 with no noodles side of onions and the wings. I seriously wish they would bottle that wing sauce. I would put it on everything. read more

I'm once again visiting my son in Asheville, & Wild Ginger was our lunch destination. The workers couldn't have been friendlier. That really stood out. As we were seated, I eyed all the food on other tables, & I knew we were in a great spot. I ordered "Tofu stir fried vegetables in light coconut sauce". I also asked them to make it a little spicy. The dish arrived & I was one happy camper. The curry & coconut & spices & lime & myriad of different vegetables harmonized very well. And the serving was decent size. I totally loved my Wild Ginger moment. read more

Visiting Asheville, or anywhere out of town really, I always make an effort to check out that city's pho spot. This restaurant was solid for the most part. More authentic than not. The menu actually had items in Viet...which typically entails a good sign. The pho was fairly good and I really appreciate the sides/toppings you ALWAYS look for when having pho. Their sauté was probably some of the best I've had and appreciate them even having it. Good amount of noodles and good amount of meat. The broth was solid, nothing amazing but definitely made due for a pho craving. The menu is a good side with many options. We got their wings as an app but was too sweet to eat it all and had too much of its sauce on it. The service was really good and everyone came off kind and polite. A medium sized restaurant, would come back. read more

This spot is So good! Best place in AVL for pho. Hands down. So comforting and perfect flavors. I'd have pho here every day if I could!

My friend recommended this place saying that this was her favorite Vietnamese place in the area, so she took me here. She said that usually there was a wait time for a table but when we got there, we had no wait at all. I got the Tofu Banh Mi + sweet potato fries and it was great. The sandwich was very tasty, the veggies were fresh and crunchy, the pickled veggies inside the sandwich were executed well. The amount of filling in the sandwich itself was just right. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Filipino desserts on the menu too. Next time I'll have to come back and try them. For me, I wish there the fry portion size was a little bit bigger considering the price. But other than that we had a great time. Service was excellent and always checked up on us. Also our food didn't take very long to come out as well. We felt well-taken care of. Thanks Wild Ginger! I'll be back when I'm in Asheville again :) read more

Friends recommended Wild Ginger after our return from Vietnam. Apparently, the prior restaurant at this location served Vietnamese cuisine? Service was good and the setting comfortable and casual and busy last Monday at lunch. There is also limited sidewalk seating outdoors. Our meals were good but we were spoiled after having just returned from vacation. read more

My daughter and I have eaten here multiple times and will continue to return based upon the excellent foods they serve. The restaurant is simple, but very cute. They do a tremendous takeout business with people coming in constantly picking up multiple bags of food. Every time we've gone there, the takeout is rapid and large while the restaurant is also full. Our waitress was very kind. She explained things to us as I wanted to try something new. My daughter is a pho fiend, as am l, but a Vietnamese fish sandwich hit the spot. My daughter got the seafood pho this time and said it was absolutely delicious. Her portion was extremely large, even though she purchased a small, she brought almost half of it home. For the first time I had a fried fish Vietnamese sandwich. It had the most delicious marinated vegetables and cilantro on top of a fresh bun with a super crispy piece of fish on the sandwich. I was only able to finish half. Yummy more for later!! My daughter raved about her pho And my Vietnamese sandwich was absolutely incredible and with the best fried sweet potatoes ever. Now to the good part. A few visits back my daughter, and I shared a dessert that we had never seen or heard of before. It was so good. We've gone back twice and they had already run out of Sapin Sapin. When we went this time, The first thing we said is there any Sapin Sapin !! She said yes, and we begged her to put ours aside (not to take a chance) because the restaurant was so busy. It is one of the most colorful, beautiful desserts you've ever seen layers of dark purple, green and white, but that says nothing about the flavor. This is melt in your mouth deliciousness go there just to try, Sapin Sapin you actually don't need another reason lol. Multiple people sitting on either side of us ask us what we were eating when they saw it. People see it on the menu but don't think to order it and that is just disastrous lol! Unless we're there and there's only a little left then please don't order it. Please try out wild Ginger. It's nestled in a small shopping center easily accessible with free parking. It's now become a regular on our list of restaurants. read more

Legit pho. Need more? Friendly fast service. Smallish restaurant, but they move tables

My partner and I have ordered take out twice from this restaurant. The quality and quantity of the food allows us to have two or two and a half meals. Noodles are delicious. Soups are very tasty. Usually a half hour or more wait for the takeout order so don't rush right over, otherwise you'll be sitting and staring at a humongous cotton candy machine that takes up enough space for another table of four. It has been busy both times I have picked up food there. Quiet atmosphere with a variety of customers including many Asians. read more

i got take out here this weekend and the food was done really quickly! the people were also so so nice. i'm just disappointed in the pho broth. mine just tasted like water and it was hard to add anything to make the dish a bit more flavorful. i thought the veggie fresh rolls were good but the pho wasn't as good as i'd hope it to be :( read more

What a nice find! Vegan Pho on the menu, I had to try it! And I was rewarded with a steaming hot delicious bowl of Pho that had a beautiful fragrance of star anise and other herbs and spices. The amount was generous and more than enough for my pho appetite :-) People kept coming in and by the time I left there some were waiting for a table. It's obvious that this place has been discovered by many. The restaurant is in a little strip mall in South Asheville, no outdoor seating. read more

I really like the pho and the noodle dish I ordered. Appetizers were good as well along with the service. I'd go back!

Great place you should go! Food fast and delicious staff sweet and hard working. Clean restaurant.

So good! We ordered Pho, spring rolls, Fried rice and Vietnamese iced coffee. The food was comparable to a lot of the Pho spots we have out here in LA so we were very happy! Our waitresses and waiters were so sweet and attentive. Ambiance is casual and easy. We loved it so much we went again and took my partners Dad before we hopped on our flight back home and he loved it! read more

The food is amazing every time we go eat here. The Pho and spring rolls are some of the best!

Highly recommend the bahn mi with pork belly. It was absolutely delicious. Service was great. 5/5 will come again.

I was blown away how good this little restaurant was! My cousin who is a local recommended this spot for dinner. I had to try for myself and became an instant fan! I stopped in for dinner and it was dinner but the staff handled it like a pro! The customer service was on point! I left a nice tip just for that. Now, let's talk about the food. The variety of choices was just enough, not so overwhelming. It was straight to the point with something for everyone. Calamari: I highly recommend you starting off with this! The squid was fried to perfection with a nice crunch, paired with a sweet/sour/tangy/salty sauce and best of all -- papaya salad. What a combo! Shumai: As good as the ones from a dim sum restaurant! Pho: Wow! They got some good Pho in this area! The broth is king and was on par. A nice herby broth with lots of flavor. The variety of meat paired well too. Overall -- the kind of experience where you don't mind pay for and walking out a happy customer. read more

I am going to go ahead with a 4. The spring rolls were fresh and fantastic. You can order them a few different ways. I opted with shrimp. They were balanced and filled with everything I enjoy in these type of rolls including the well cooked noodles. The dipping sauce was peanut and delicious. The chicken noodle soup here was solid. I wish that it had the heartier egg noodle versus the rice noodle. It had a lot of scallions and cilantro. YUMMMMM! Fairly priced. The service was ok. I would return read more

So good!! Love the seafood and beef pho and boba tea! Only reason why I don't give 5 is there is so often a super long wait at lunch.

I just love this pace and everything about it. Family owned with a friendly staff that have been there for a while. The Pho is great as well as the rice and noodle dishes. But one dish I just can't get enough of - Tanghon - its a mixture of beanthread and egg noodles, with shrimp, pork, sausage, and a lot of vegetables - just amazing and enough of at least 2 or maybe 3 people. I have not tried the banh mi yet, but will soon. read more

This review is for the banh mi and cha gio. Holy SHIT it's expensive for what you get -- a small sandwich with meat that you can barely taste because the pickled veggies are way too vinegary. I know good Asian food is probably hard to find here but y'all -- this ain't it. The pork sandwich is more palatable but only because the pork has a stronger flavor than the chicken. If you must get a sandwich, skip the sweet potato fries as a side and opt for the house-made chips instead as those are actually decent. The cha gio (fried spring rolls) aren't good -- think dry and bland cha gio filling but wrapped like an egg roll and served with a slightly spicy sweet and sour sauce. Where's the fish sauce? Isn't this supposed to be a Viet joint? How am I supposed to trust people when they say this place has good pho but they serve their cha gio with sweet and sour sauce? Lord. read more
