It was pretty ok. The glass noodles were disappointing. They were soggy and not translucent like typical glass noodles were. They were mushy. The maguro in the sushi dishes were authentic, and I really appreciate that. Much of the sushi in the mountains has naguro tuna very diluted with crumbs, or not tuna at all.

We were super excited to try this establishment with our daughter. She is a Ramen fanatic. We have tried Ramen from all over the states and outside the states. How ever our experience was sadly VERY unpleasant. Out waiter was as helpful as he could be I guess, but him running back and Fourth to various tables didn’t help. He brings us water to table in Dirty glasses. You couldn’t even see you reflection in the glass. No ice. Just warm tap water. He did show us the specials. We ordered Sushi..Chicken Dumplings..all 3 of us got various kinds of Ramen. All 3 were tasteless. We had a Deep fried sushi roll that had just been barely..barely fried..just rolled around in grease for a few seconds..Our waiter checked on us 1 time once we got our food. NO refill on our drinks..nothing.. The napkins that held our silverware smelled of mildew..The Owner who’s name is Nomi/Naomi? Was very friendly to other individuals who came in. She greeted them with a smile. Made conversation etc. All she did was stare at us. No smile..no conversation..just stares..as if we should be elsewhere…Never once asking how our meal was or if we needed anything else. Other customers received So much Attentiveness . Wish we could have received that as well. Definitely not a good environment you want to eat in. My Big suggestion would be make sure ALL your customers regardless of them being a regular..a tourist…or race the same. After all all our money is the same right?. The only time the owner spoke to us when it was to run our card for our bill..Go figure!. We have been to many establishments here..and definitely can find another place to spend $100 that would be more customer friendly and clean!

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.

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.

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.

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

We visit Asheville often, and celebrated Valentines dinner here mainly for Tonkatsu Ramen. I am a Tonkatsu Ramen lover. We have made the hour and a half long trip many times, and visit a new Ramen shop each trip. The good..It was busy so we understood the wait. Server was pleasant. And the vibe was good. So first off, I have never ordered creamy Pork broth Tonkatsu Ramen that didn’t come with pork belly? Never. And as for the creamy rich pork broth, was NOT creamy and slow cooked for hours. It was clear, and had no flavor whatsoever. If you put Tonkatsu on your menu, it should be creamy and rich. I’m not saying other items aren’t delicious..Just if you want authentic Tonkatsu just know theirs is different. This was my experience. and just a point, This is in no way not liking this restaurant. Just not the Tonkatsu Ramen.
