“Great food, great service. Sushi was super yum!!“

“The Crazy Crab roll was insanely delicious. Calamari yummy.“

“We loved everything. Stopped in the other day after checking out the menu posted by the door. Subtle delicious flavors, exactly what Japanese food should be! The homemade pickles were outstanding - eggplant, radish, carrot. The ginger honey tea was so light but with perfectly balanced flavor. Our sushi and sashimi as well as the cold noodle dish were some of the best food we've had in Asheville anywhere. Just loved the experience.“

“We went to Miyako for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and we are going again tonight. This restaurant is a gem in downtown Asheville. The aroma lured us in, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The kitchen appears clean and well-org - and the service was delightful!“

“Fantastic!! Waiter was Cassidy he was very nice and welcoming with great knowledge of the menu, this was our first time there and was so relieved to find a great noodle stop as we have tried others and were highly disappointed but not here. We got the dynamite shrimp , so creamy and just a hint of heat, we got the kids ramen so next extra stuff just the noodles and broth and those had great flavor they approved!! I got the deluxe ramen with the black garlic oil and pork belly so bold and smooth, and we got the spicy ramen which had a great heat level and my husband loved. Over all great food worth the price which wasn’t super high , nice environment with great music choice would highly recommend!!!! Thanks again Cassidy“

“The flavors of their food never disappoints. Panda Express is right next to this place but theirs is always better and the food is made fresh.I get a chicken teriyaki combo with double meat for around $11. And the portions are huge ! Always some left over.“

“Highly recommend. I never leave reviews but this is not only the best hibachi, sushi spot I’ve EVER been to but the service is outstanding and there’s never too many people. The sushi is fantastic. Great hostesses, always nice I always go here when I get the chance. I’ve been going here regularly for 3 going on 4 years and I plan to continue going for as long as I possibly can.“

“A classic and reliable spot for yummy tempura, and other tasty things. Nice servers.“

“My husband and I both ordered several sushi rolls. Everything was delicious and tasted very fresh! The atmosphere was nice, with VERY comfortable chairs, though the music being all pop covers was a bit odd. The staff was attentive and friendly. The only real downside was that they used disposable chopsticks, which was disappointing for such a nice place.“

“Fresh and delicious food. Great service. Good prices.

My concern is the cleanliness of the restaurant itself. Definitely need to work on wiping down the walls and trash cans covered in fat and leftover foods. The dirtiness kinda makes it cheap looking.“

“I recently tried Suwana for the first time and I want to say that I was really impressed! I’m not a huge sushi guy but I’m turning into one because of this place! The Maggie Valley Roll is 🔥!!! The crab rangoons are amazing too! I look forward to eating here in the future. Waynesville is lucky to have this 💎!!“
