I've been here for almost two years and always pay this place a visit when I'm downtown. There's no one else that can beat the service and the prices of this place.

Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's terrible! This food has saved me so many times from depression and starvation as a college student. It's just that good.

I recommend the shrimp spring rolls and Aloha Poke Bowl. Grab a boba tea and sticky mango rice too!

I will continue to support this place for as long as I can, this is truly a business I wish to see thrive. 1000% recommend.

All it needs is a bathroom and I'd stay here all day ?

Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian options with any vegetarian items labeled clearly on menus.

Dietary restrictions: All of the menu is labelled as either vegetarian or gluten free.

Wheelchair accessibility: The door is at a flat surface and the entrance to the counter is pretty clear.

Whenever I find myself in Asheville, I always try to stop at Aloha Cafe! Their Báhn mì sandwich is definitely something to write home about. It's super flavorful and a taste you can't forget. It's a small restaurant nestled in downtown right next to the parking garage and very accessible! Their teriyaki spring rolls are also amazing!

It’s a small space but they serve some excellent food! We got the Blue Ridge Bowl and it was absolutely amazing. Great place for some boba tea too.

My husband and I are poke enthusiasts and we were pretty impressed with this place! Everything was fresh, not horribly expensive, and also allowed a very wide range of sides (like I had never had radish in a bowl before but I LOVED it). I also had a Boba tea.

The service was also wonderful - they ended up giving my little one a free corn on the cob piece, which was really nice and kept him busy. We appreciated that to no end!!

We live a little far away but would come back here anytime.

Had a couple of banh mis and the spring roll. The crust on the bread was too hard- tore up our gums. The spring roll was only okay, could’ve used more herbs but the peanut dipping sauce was good. It’s not expensive here but I think it’s a bit over priced for the quality of what you get.

Stopped here for a late lunch after a lot of walking. The Aloha Bowl was delicious with fresh tuna and veggies. The lady at the counter was really kind. This place is definitely a gem!

After going here three times, I can confidently say the Pho was the best I have ever had. The employees are very kind! I really love the Hawaii theme and the general small cafe vibe. If I could give it 6 stars I would. 10/10 would recommend

Kid-friendliness: It has many different options for kids!

The place looks like a little hole in the wall in downtown Asheville but the service and food were great! Able to dine in or take out. Cute setup!

Vegetarian options: You can build your own bowl so you can have it without fish if you choose.

Though it's a hole in the wall restaurant, the atmosphere was relaxing, the owner was a pleasure to interact with, and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend this spot!
