Our experience here was incredible. We came on a Friday around 6. It was already full (being a tiny restaurant) so we waited about 5-10 minutes and we were able to get a table. We had edemame, the caterpillar roll, vegan tempura, tofu hotpot, and beef stir fry udon. It was all delicious! I was thrilled the tempura batter was vegan so I could enjoy it. The hotpot with the ginger sauce was flavorful and tasted fresh and clean. It's a tiny restaurant so be prepared to wait.

I recently visited Heiwa Shokudo for dinner with friends. I tried the Japanese Steamed Buns with Pork Belly and the Yosenabe Hot Pot. The steamed buns were delicious. A nicely soft bun was filled with tender nicely fatty pork belly, creamy avocado, tender shitake mushrooms, crisp kimchi and a flavorful sweet sauce. The hot pot had a rich lightly spicy broth filled with thick soft savory udon noodles, crisp kimchi, tender broccoli, wilted spinach, tender shrimp and chicken and savory nicely seasoned dumplings. Overall, this was a quality filling dinner.

Melt in your mouth sushi! Super friendly staff. Heiwa is a standout off the beaten path spot. We were lucky to grab a table before the dinner rush hit. We enjoyed the sushi boat and spicy yosenabe hot pot. While the food took a while to come out, it was worth the wait.

Man this place was a huge letdown. We were sat at a table outside and were so cramped because another table's chairs were less than a foot away. The table and one of our chairs were broken. My husband ordered a ramen bowl that came out pretty quickly. I ordered a vegetable noodle dish, and we had to wait literally 45 minutes for it AFTER my husband got his food. I eventually asked them to just forget my food and bring the check. They immediately brought out my meal and it was so obvious that it had just been sitting out under a heat lamp for a very long time and tasted so bland. Absolutely would not recommend this restaurant. We went on a Wednesday and it was this bad.

This is one of my favorite places in Asheville. I daydream about the noodles here and could eat here weekly. From the ramen to the sushi and even the tea, you can't go wrong.

Before my daughter moves to Yokohama, I wanted to give her a taste of Japan. We were so lucky to get a reservation for the 9 Course Omakase Dinner on Saturday June 17th. Each course was fantastic. Her favorite was the Chawan (savory egg pudding with mixed seafood) and my favorite was the Fried Oyster (so juicy inside and perfect crispiness outside). The atmosphere and service were outstanding.Chef/Owner Dai Sugimoto is a culinary master. I can't believe how many different types of Japanese dishes he can make. His flavor combinations were amazing. I lived in Japan for 7 years and have eaten Japanese cuisine thousands of times. If you see an occaissional low rating on Yelp, it's from people who don't understand Japanese food and/or were having a bad day. They should eat at Panda Express.

Came here with my youngest as we were walking around downtown Asheville. Loved this place! I got the tonkotsu veggie ramen and my youngest got katsu chicken with rice and kimchi. She also got milk tea with boba. Everything was delicious and the egg was so good and a little sweet in the ramen. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

I'm a purist; no flavored coffee, no AmeriMex tacos, and no Japanese fusion for me. Heiwa Shokudo is the ONLY sushi bar in AVL owned and run by Japanese (a husband & wife). Along with truly traditional dishes, very cozy environs with lots of real wooden appointments, and a young, capable, and caring waitstaff await. The ramen swim in from-scratch bone broths, or seaweed-based, vegan stock. Nothing else in town even comes close to this wonderful locale.

Amazing! They were able to accommodate our group of 7 relatively quickly and the service was great. The prices are reasonable and so much to choose from on the menu there are options for everyone
