Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse in Asheville

Really enjoyed my meal here. Everything was cooked perfectly and all the dishes were inventive and well thought out. We particularly enjoyed the fried mushroom appetizer and the waygu beef skewers. Nice clean Japanese flavors with a twist. Really high quality ingredients. Options to get a few smaller plates and share or order an app and entrees. Will be back!

Wow! This restaurant is absolutely a must DO when in Asheville. We stumbled upon it by luck and are soooo grateful. It is perfect for groups of people because the dishes can easily be shared. Absolutely beautiful decor and great vibe. Friendly staff- thanks to Dana and Danny for impecable and prompt service. Now...The menu? INCREDIBLE!!!! Where do I begin? We had the king crab- deliciously fresh and great presentation. The charred lemon with it was a hit. The shrimp were also great- spicy and delicious. Really Unique w/the Gorgonzola and we loved the generous Serving. We also really loved the flavors in the vegetable ramen. My daughter ordered it and shared with all Of us because it was so delicious. The broth Was amazing . Also ordered the bao buns. Very good. I can't wait to go back and try more items! We Loved the full bar and cocktail offerings. Good wine options. We will be back because there is so much more to try but we were full!!!!! One suggestion would be to have the menu note which dishes are vegetarian....we questioned if the vegetable ramen was bc the type of broth that was used is typically  made from pork & chicke...

New restaurant so trying to get the kinks worked out. However, food and service were great. Highly recommend the crispy shrimp, steak and mushrooms. Wanted the tuna but it was sold out. Will definitely be back!
