Best sushi in town. Lots of options for all dietary differences. Their soup is so delicious. Come here on a spring day, sip sake on the patio, and people watch if you can.
most authentic japanese in town. awesome service, everything on the menu is delicious (get noodles!!) legit come here on a weekly basis for food n half off sake. they even have a parking lot <3
The quality of food here is 10/10! Although the dining room is small and cramped, it has a warm and cozy ambiance. It helped that the music volume/selection was the perfect white noise to cover nearby table’s conversations.
There is a parking lot right next to the building you can pay by phone app or use your card at a reader in front. There were just 2 spots left (late February, 4:20 pm on a Saturday) We got here as soon as they opened 4:30 pm. By the time we were done with our meal, there was a line from the host stand to the door, seemed to be a lot of takeout orders too. Definitely a popular menu. So not a place to relax, but to eat and leave to free up tables for the next patrons.
I got 2 different house sushi rolls and a Japanese style pork belly bun. Husband got tempura chicken which looked good, and we each got bubble tea which was served in a cute mason jar cup. Tbh, for how pricey it was the serving of milk tea was very small especially compared to every other boba tea I’ve had.
I can’t wait to come back here one day! Maybe next time we can snag the front window high top seats. Wish their tables were more spaced out, but it is an extremely small building. I would enjoy eating on the patio when the weather warms up.
More VEGAN experiences while in Asheville, NC Heiwa Shokudo was soooooo tasty, seasoned to perfection delicious- my, my, my! Soooooo good to my taste buds. I love it here. (My phone died and I did not even get pics of all the dishes - smh🤦🏽♀️)
Came in on a Saturday at opening time. We were greeted and seated right away. The service was excellent. The reman was pretty good . Nice chill atmosphere.
Small place, be sure to get there early to ensure you get a seat. Sushi is well prepared with flawless presentation. Warm, chill vibes perfect for relaxation and catching up with a friend. Friendly staff. Well planned menu. Very affordable.
This adorable, small restaurant has such delicious food! The hot pots and noodle plates are especially good and the serving size is impressive. I also enjoy their original sushi rolls.
They have bubble tea that can be made with soy or oat milk and plenty of other vegan options as well!
Friendly service & expansive menu. Parking can be tricky when it is really busy downtown but there are several paid lots nearby.
We enjoy grabbing some sushi on the patio. Midweek is nice for locals. The food is delicious and the lighted patio makes it a bit romantic.
Hardly ever do I leave a review the moment I leave a place but the service we received at this restaurant was so incredibly kind and welcoming, I had to rave about this place immediately. My husband and I and our little baby girl picked this place last minute and upon arrival we were told there would be a 20 minute wait (they were busy!) but we didn’t mind because it’s freezing outside and didn’t want to find another spot. We sat at a high top while waiting for a table that can fit a high chair and before we could open our menus, our server, Stone, said they had a cancellation and had us move to their back PRIVATE room! This room could easily fit 6-8, I think, and they gave us the entire room. Having a baby this is incredible because .. well, it’s self explanatory why having a private room is beneficial when you have a 9 month old! We ordered chicken karaage, gyoza, sashimi and one of their hot pots to share. We were so happy with all of the options! Stone and the rest of the servers were so kind and even popped in to say hi to our baby! Kind and warm service really stands out to a couple like us. We are also in the service industry so we appreciate it that much more. I can’t wait to come back to Asheville to dine at this restaurant again. Thanks for making our final night a memorable one! Such a random found evening! 5 stars!
So yum! The food came out looking so cute way cuter than I was expecting and there was a lot of it too the salad before the bibimbap was yum. And the atmosphere was cute and cozy. 10/10
For small little Asheville, NC; Heiwa Shokudo was an amazing little gem downtown.
Their staff was absolutely polite, friendly and welcoming.
The restaurant itself was a extremely homie and cozy. The prices were remarkable! I was absolutely shocked how full I was with the money I've spent. Although, the hot pot taste more like a ramen broth; it was yummy. My party absolutely enjoyed her ramen. This establishment is vegan, vegetarian and all the above friendly.
There is no personal parking lot so you will have to park in paid parking or along the streets.
Overall, this was a place I would surely visit again while in Ashville.
I came to Heiwa Shokudo by myself and enjoyed my meal. I got the spicy miso ramen (with vege broth and tofu), the tempeh futomaki, and some hot tea. The restaurant is very vegetarian friendly and all of the food was very good. Total came out to $25 plus tip for all of the food, which I thought was great value. Major downside of this restaurant is that their location is very small. They seemed to have a hard time accommodating larger groups and there can be a long wait. They only had a few waitresses as well, and I had to wait a while a few times to get water or the bill. That being said, everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, great experience and would come back, but would be hesitant to bring a group. They did have some more seating outdoors but it wasn’t open today. I hope this restaurant can one day build an extension to have some more seating
