Just had an amazing meal here! The food was authentic and full of flavor. Big shoutout to Lalita she was super kind, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Will definitely come back! Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back. If you visit, I highly recommend asking for Lalita she’ll make your meal even more enjoyable!

Beautiful presentation, fresh flavors, and friendly service! We stopped in on a whim and were so impressed. The sushi was not only delicious but looked like a work of art-fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and stunning plating (see the photo!). The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and our server was attentive and kind. If you’re anywhere near Main Street, do yourself a favor and stop in. We’ll definitely be back!

It was quite the experience at level 5 heat on the red curry with salmon. Even level 4 is nothing to bawk at. This spice on anything will really elevate you. Thai iced tea keeps things in check. The papaya salad is a work of art. By all means, get the Thai Dumplings. The sweet soy sauce that goes with them is indulgent. Important announcement: Mango sticky rice for dessert knocks it out of the park. I love the friendly, intuitive service, the fresh ingredients you can taste, and the variety of textures available to enjoy. I appreciate the care, skill, and attention that goes into each dish.

I eat here once a week and I’m NEVER disappointed!!! Their curry is my favorite thing to eat but the sushi is also amazing! Service is always fast and the customer service is always on point! The manager Andrew isn’t from here but somehow he’s got the southern hospitality that this area is known for! And bamby the server is equally as amazing

Dined in for lunch here. The food was amazingly delicious. Tried green curry, chicken Satay, Tom yum soup and pineapple friend rice. Great quality food and great service. We got the booth by the window facing the street which made it even better looking up at the mountain Definitely going back if we get another chance to go back here

Visited Lake Junaluska for a week and came here for lunch one day. The inside was pretty open and we were seated immediately. There was only one waitress serving the entire restaurant, and she did well, but sometimes I thought she could use a little help. This place was good, but a few things kept it from being a perfect five stars. We had kids, so we ordered some appetizers and requested they be brought out with the main meal so all the food came out at once -- chicken satay and a side of rice and some potstickers. They got brought out early despite the request. Restaurant has a variety of asian food: sushi, Pho, small selection of Thai and Chinese etc, plus some kid options (Corndogs etc). Everyone should be able to find something. Wife (half asian, her Mom ran Chinese restos growing up) got the Tom Kha and said it was unlike any other Tom Kha she'd gotten. Complex, and good, but different; extremely frothy. I ordered the Beef Pho and thought the meat was a lot tougher (both the strips and beef balls) then I am used to in Pho from Atlanta, Vegas, CA etc. Dumplings were mid, could have used a little more seasoning, they were very meaty. The kids liked their food. Parents thougt the food was fine. 20% gratuity automatically applied for a party of 6 (usually it's parties of 8), not a huge deal just be forewarned and don't accidentally double tip. Drink service was a little slow and so was the check. Very passable, especially for a tourist town in the mountains but not going to wow you if you like more authentic asian food. Check it out if you're in the area and want some asian food!
