Pacific Pagoda

Really good tempura, California roll. Miso soup okay, friend rice not great (dried out) but value for all of that is $13?! Amazing!

Five star service all around. There for a great sister friends birthday celebration. Food was delicious service was great, bathroom and restaurant clean. Great place to get delicious fresh sushi! I enjoyed my pineapple fried rice it was something new for me and what a great choice.

The service was hands down the best thing here. Our server was delightful! Sweet and extremely attentive. The ambiance was also quite nice; the room can seat quite a few people. I just would not return for the sushi. I'm sorry to say that although it wasn't bad per se, the nigiri were too thickly cut and the rolls... well the comment at the table was how similar the rolls were to packaged grocery sushi. Next time I come I will try the other items and hope the sushi was a one-off. Genuinely nice people working here, so I hope next time is an improvement.

DeliciousEverything was awesome. Tuna belly and sweet shrimp were great. Will be back.

I really wanted to like this place bc we don't have any good old fashioned Chinese restaurants in south AVL, Fletcher or Fairview . But, this place is just another weird Pan-Asian-Fusion joint and another bad attempt at that. (Side note: I don't understand this trend where Chinese, Japanese, Thai restaurants, etc try to cover all of Asia! All these cuisines are so different and require different cooking techniques and traditions. Lumping them together is usually a sign that the restaurant is just trying to be everything to everyone and it's usually a red flag! Case in point!)Their online ordering is so discombobulated: the proteins, the veg, the sizes, the sauces, it's all listed separately and it's confusing and inefficient. Ended up ordering a couple of basic things to see if it passed muster: spring rolls, sesame chicken and hibachi steak and vegetables. Pretty easy right? Apparently not. (I am no expert on all asian foods but have tried some very non-Americanized dishes especially in some of the big city china towns and abroad- and I certainly don't expect authenticity so the bar wasn't set high here.)The spring rolls were "fine", albeit a bit on the overly salty side. They were crisp and filled with plenty of veg- so ok. The chicken looked "fine"; glossy and somewhat saucy with sesame seeds on top- but the chicken was very overcooked. The pieces were all sizes from tiny to quite large- and the sauce, which I was expecting to be very sweet (because it looked like it would be) was actually the best part, even a little on the bland side. The dish was hard to eat and very chewy. Last but not least - Hibachi steak which I thought would be safe as the sauce is on the side and it's basically just grilled on a flat griddle with veg. But... steak was cubed and hard as a rock. It wasn't as much overcooked (and under-seasoned) as it was just a very cheap cut of beef that hadn't even been velveted or tenderized in any way. The broccoli was almost raw and the carrots looked as though they had been separately steamed, not grilled- and were so sweet- def sugar was added there. But Why??? I don't understand!We ended up throwing most of the hibachi dish away because it was inedible.Don't waste your money. Super disappointing.

Try the Singapore Street Noodles, I ask for extra spicy , chow mei fun curry ! I crave it it's so good!

A surprise find close to home. We've lived here for 4 years and never noticed this neighborhood gem. The food was great as was the service. Despite being in a strip mall, the ambiance once you enter belongs in stand alone restaurant. Very nice

I was blown away by this hidden gem. It's in a blah strip mall shopping center and I've passed it no less than 953 times and never thought twice. Mostly Asheville has the saddest excuse for Asian cuisine but this place blew my mind especially since it's Asian fusion. I've been back nearly a half dozen times and not ordered the same thing twice (except soups which are superbly delicious). Everything is so good and so fresh. This is my favorite restaurant in Asheville now!

Very very good. Very fresh fish very good service. Nothing not to like! I particularly love the old school atmosphere :-)

The atmosphere of the place is great and the service was great. The menu offers a lot of choices. The food itself was better than the average Chinese takeout but I wouldn't say it was great.
