“ What a nice restaurant! The food was great and the waiter was very kind. We had vietnamese springrolls, sushi, pad Thai and chicken teriyaki. Everything was delicious and for a good price. We wish we had this restaurant in our town in Holland! ”
“ The food was so good! We had the sunrise sushi boat and the chicken wings with rice. The ginger dressing was some of the best I have ever had. The sushi was fresh, and the wings were super spicy. The service was amazing! Went back the last time we were at Beech Mtn, and again, the food was amazing. The Pho was soooo good and, of course, the best ginger dressing I have ever had. We got sushi again and again, amazing. No change. The food is still amazing. We had the Pho and steak, chicken, and shrimp hibachi. ”
“ I love Asian food and have traveled all over Asia and have eaten in hundreds of Asian restaurants. When it comes to food this restaurant is killing it. Fresh, authentic, and just some of the best prepared and best tasting food you will get just about anywhere. The sushi maki/rolls came out tiny but perfect for the price and the taste of the 4 different rolls we received was surprisingly amazing. Kids tilapia panko was also phenomenal. The clear soup was perfect. The fish perfect. The fried rice, perfect. The carrots were incredible and homemade. The pad Thai was spot on. When you received a shrimp dish the shrimp were good sized and came tender and flavorful just like in Thailand. The Vietnamese dishes were heavenly. Perfectly cooked vermicelli. Salad with the freshest ingredients and basil. Fish sauce was also done just right. The meats perfectly barbecued and so flavorful and tender. Boba teas were very good. Try the Thai Boba but know it will be super sweet. I would move here just for this restaurant. Now service comes with a culture and language divide. For example they list a meat patty on the Vietnamese dishes which turned out to be I think pork satay on a stick which was homemade and incredible. The ambiance just does not do the food justice, so don't judge this book by its cover. The menu had so many great choices but we could not get them all. The Thai salads looked so good. I wanted to try their Singapore noodles. In fact I wanted to try so much but We just could not eat that much. If you are looking for an amazing meal, do not miss this restaurant. ”
“ If we have the time, we make the drive from Marion to Banner Elk just to pick up food from here. It is always delicious and we are never disappointed. We've had Their vermicelli, rice plates, pho, papaya salad ( it isn't spicy so I just add my own peppers), vietnamese salads, egg rolls, and veggie stir fry. ”
“ Great Asian food! Had the pho and some sushi plus appetizers. All very tasty and great flavor. Highly recommend for the area. Chill atmosphere. ”
“ I got the tiger roll and oh my god!! I ate almost the whole tray before I realized ! So good, also sampled some of my family’s meals, the teriyaki steak, chicken and shrimp pad Thai, bun tofu & tofu summer roll, spring rolls, and tofu fried rice. The vegetarian options are good, even if I’m not a vegetarian nor vegan! Everything was great!! If I’m in Banner Elk again, 100% coming back! The food is reasonably priced too! Customer service was nice, the atmosphere is also very nice! Fast and efficient and the food came out about the same time. I liked all of the plants, haha! ”
“ The food is delicious and the prices are unbeatable! They have lots of different food options and everything we have ordered is always delicious. My husband got the hot pot and enjoyed cooking at the table. I love the summer rolls, sushi, hibachi, and pad Thai. Honestly, I think any of the food is delicious and worth ordering. ”
“ The service and food was really good. The broth to the Hot Pot is like a Sweet & Sour just wasn't what we were expecting but still tasted really good!! Scallops and Broccoli were great!! ”
