Different type of restaurant, order at the bar and they bring it to the table. Food was very good and drinks were good. Good ambiance inside but sat outside with the dog. Great place if you want to bring your furry friend.

The Hound is such a gem. The menu is a really delicious Latin-Asian fusion with creative, well-balanced flavors that feel both interesting and comforting. Everything we tried was excellent, and the cocktails were just as good—thoughtfully made and not overly sweet.
The vibe is quiet and relaxed, which made it a great place to actually enjoy conversation and take our time with the meal. If you’re looking for flavorful food, great drinks, and a calm atmosphere, The Hound is absolutely worth a visit.

After a delightful tasting at Gingers revenge, we went here for dinner. The bartender at Gingers revenge highly recommended it. She was not wrong. Every dish on the menu sounded delicious. I finally chose a random dish and as expected, it was great! Drinks are also great there...and the Service and Atmosphere was on point. Highly recommend this place.

We brought our dog Hank (120 pound mastiff) in and were immediately greeted with a smile we figured we had to sit outside but were also offered to sit inside. They went ahead and started a fire for us promptly and Joy took really good care of us. Food was great, fast and drinks were the same.

Food was very disappointing and certainly Not anywhere close to the 4.7 google rating. Patatas Bravos - basically steak fries with mayo and hot sauce drizzled on top; esquitas (corn) - ok (and too cold); spicy udon - too spicy, not flavorful enough (and I like spicy but not overpowering the flavor); poki bowl - meh. In summary, all seemed like the ingredients and sauces were thrown in with no chef or knowhow involved.

We happened upon The Hound Lounge our first night ever in Asheville. The food sounded great so after our drive from NE Ohio we were hungry, casual and decided to pop in. Being dog lovers, we picked the right place no doubt! The atmosphere and vibe were very welcoming and comfortable and dog friendly. Grab a table and place your order. Simple and fast! The food was amazing! A fresh and flavorful change of pace from our usual heavy Italian foods from home. We got the Poke bowl, Loco Moco and the Ceviche and a side of Kimchi. The Kimchi was the best we’ve ever had! We will definitely be back the next time we make it to Asheville.

This place far exceeded our expectations. The Hound has a relaxed vibe and welcoming feel - like home. The menu was very creative and internationally diverse. It seems they change up their menu often, which never tires out a frequent diner. We like to try bread pudding everywhere we go and this guava one was the best we've ever had!!
Best food in Asheville beside me. Green tea or something. wait time was long but well worth it if you're going to ask for the esquites asked for them to be warmed up first. The shrimp and the ceviche are incredible.

Great spot to check out, the food was amazing (we had the wings and the loco moco), Melissa's service was impeccable and the atmosphere very laid back, but romantic and upscale all at the same time. The patio looked really nice but it was a little cold out this evening. We will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu!

We had two hounds with us and were really unsure about taking them here. The staff was great with them. And, the food was Amazing! We live in FL and my husband said we will definitely come up and eat here again.

The Hound is one of East Asheville’s best surprises. Tucked away but full of charm, this spot delivers way beyond what you’d expect — from creative bar bites, full meals, to a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile.
The food from Bonito Kitchen in The Hound is standout: fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. Pair that with solid drinks, attentive staff, and a vibe that feels equal parts neighborhood bar and foodie destination, and you’ve got a winner.
If you haven’t made your way to The Hound yet, put it on your list. It’s a true East Asheville gem that proves great things happen when food, drink, and community come together.

This place is awesome. Very casual “seat yourself and order at the bar” spot but with food better than most sit down restaurants. Ambience is also a cool vibe. I ordered the Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp and a Mule. I was floored by how good the shrimp dish was. The drink was also perfect. Spent $45 after tax and tip. Will 100% come back next time I am in Ashville.
