Excellent food and incredibly nice people! The prices are good and you won't leave hungry.
The food was delicious. Great service. Prices are good. Definitely liked the sanitation score (100%}.
Very yummy. We love the spring rolls. Only wish they had cream cheese crab rangoon. But nice to have good asian food in town finally.
Great and friendly service PLUS excellent food. So glad we have this fantastic place to eat!!
I work at the Hotel right beside the restaurant and eat here at least once a week, its always fresh their sushi is exceptional and the service is awesome!
Amazing Food! My family of 4 went here for the first time tonight. My husband got the Tofu Kasta, which he loved. My son got Kraby Krab kids meal, which he said was delicious. And both my daughter and myself got the House Special Shrimp (think bang bang shrimp) It was amazing! Already craving more! Highly recommend from this first time experience.
Great food, great price, & exceptional service! We loved it.
Great food ....great people .....truly a great family owned, family ran restaurant. .
WONDERFUL, fresh Sushi. Glad I finally got around to trying you out. By the way , I think that's the CLEANEST restaurant I've ever seen. We WILL be back!
I was very impressed with the price, quantity, and quality of the food. I had saw other reviews that said service was slow. What we experienced tonight was far from slow. We hadn't even finished our salad when our food came. Excellent!!
As an asian girlie, i approve.
Got 2 chicken teriyaki, 1 cali roll and a green milk tea. They didnt have tapioca(bubble) so i got brown sugar jelly. Would of been better with bubble but the drink was actually good! Overall, for asian food in the mountains, it exceded expectations! We have yet to try the pho, but will our next trip in Banner Elk!
Atmosphere and ambiance (decor) could be better or could use some work.
We enjoyed our meal. The interior is very nice and decorated with an Asian flair. The best part about this restaurant was the service. The wait staff was really on top of everything. Order was taken quickly and food was brought out in a timely manner. Bathrooms were clean. The parking lot is gravel and plenty of parking. We started with a green salad with ginger dressing. We had veggie spring rolls which we ok. The rolls were thicker pastry than ones I had in the past. We enjoyed a tempura shrimp roll. It was very good and plated nicely. We had a hibachi style veggie meal with fried rice. It was good. There was a side of carrots included that was not very good, very mushy.
Very good food and excellent service! We will be going back again soon. Thanks to Toni and the great food, it was an excellent dining experience. I highly recommend it if you're in the area.
I called and made a reservation for dinner, and when I arrived my table was already set and ready for me. I got the pork gyoza- SO GOOD! They are a must try. I also got the angry dragon roll and dynamite roll, both were excellent! Service was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend!
I was so surprised when I walked into Nguyen's for the first time. They have completely transformed the restaurant from it's prior condition as a breakfast joint into an impeccably clean and cozy dining room with an inviting ambience. The food is amazing, and the service is friendly and fast! Not only is the presentation beautiful, but the flavor and the portions do not disappoint. Kayla takes great care of us when we come in, and the pricing is very reasonable considering the quality and portions. I'm recommending this restaurant to everyone who comes to town!
Sure, it’s next to a gas station. Sure, you may pull in and see no one there, and you may go to pull out and go somewhere else because on the outside it doesn’t look so great.
BUT, you realize you’re there on a Sunday morning right after open and that’s why you’re the only person there, and the reviews convince you to go in and give it a shot.
The service? Phenomenal! Very personal, and you can tell the locals know it’s the best spot around because after we came in and the server took a moment to connect with us, knowing he had never seen us before, 3 straight tables came in he knew the names of.
The miso soup? Homemade and some of the better miso we’ve had!
The iced coffee concoction that was recommended? Don’t even know what it was called, but it ruled!
The entrees? You guessed it. Delicious.
After a roughhhhh experience at Luna Sushi nearby the night before, we were so happy to have enjoyed this meal!!
Everything was amazing! The food was fresh, and the sushi rolls were beautiful and tasted excellent. Fish was very fresh.
The veggies were all hand cut (not from a bag). Sauces were made from scratch and I gotta say the little restaurant was clean and nice inside. The onion soup was also excellent. Such a good flavor and all from scratch.
This place is a must visit if you live or around Banner Elk, NC
We live an hour and a half away but definitely will make special trips to get this food. It's great!
Great food with awesome service. Everything tasted fresh and the hibachi was seared very well. There’s a huge variety of food and it was all fantastic, which is usually very rare for a restaurant. Make sure you ask for the Vietnamese coffee that’s not on the menu!
Plenty of options and nicely prepared food. The sushi was very fresh and the dumplings were steamed perfectly. The restaurant is unassuming from the outside and is attached to a gas station, but once inside, the presentation and taste create a different feel. The service is excellent which is an added bonus.
This restaurant is heavily under rated and deserves more recognition. They provide excellent food and service (thanks to our server Tony) and it was VERY clean. I love Asian food and have been to every restaurant in Banner Elk and I would have to put this in the top 2 or 3. Of all the Asian restaurants in the Boone / Banner Elk area, this location was among the best if not THE best. This is a small family owned restaurant working hard to make it and they deserve all the attention they can get for doing such a phenomenal job!
