What our guests are saying
Just ate the yellow curry with chicken spice level mild and it was DELICIOUS!! Also loved how the spice was enough to get my sinuses open but not be burning my mouth! 10/10 would recommend :)

Papaya salad and Khao Soi. The best Khao Sai I ever had!! Loved it. We also got pineapple fried rice, glassy noodles, drunken noodles.

Wow. What a hidden gem near Kennilworth and downtown Asheville .There are a variety of choices on the menu. I had the glass noodles, and they were delish. Everything was fresh and super tasty and the service was super!
