We had the best meal and waitress today! Sooo much better than our Knoxville experience. Our server was very knowledgeable of our gluten free and dairy free options! Holly was truly amazing!!

This is a great place!! We enjoyed our delicious burgers & fries at the huge outdoor seating area with our 2 dogs. Their gluten free bun was pretty good too. We then shared a piece of their gluten free carrot cake and OMG!!! We'll definitely be back!

This was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I had a misunderstanding with the waiter, but the way they handled it was beyond unacceptable. I specifically mentioned that I’m gluten-free, but they still brought me soup with gluten noodles. I assumed they would substitute it with rice noodles, as that’s a common practice in most decent restaurants. When the soup arrived, I politely informed the waiter that I couldn’t eat gluten and wouldn’t eat the soup, as I hadn’t even touched it. I asked for a replacement, but instead of accommodating my dietary restriction, the waiter rudely responded, “That’s your problem, you have to pay for the soup,” and then walked away without offering any solutions. The service was absolutely horrendous. They didn’t care about my dietary needs or the mistake they made. The staff here clearly doesn’t care about their customers at all. If you have any dietary restrictions, be prepared to be treated like it’s your fault. You’ll be forced to pay for food you can’t eat, and they’ll just shrug and tell you it’s not their problem before walking away. I will NEVER come back to this restaurant again. Avoid this place at all costs if you value basic respect and decent service.

We went here for my moms 70th birthday and holy smokes did it exceed all of my expectations. The service was incredible, attentive and sincere. Our server did an amazing job of staying on top of all our needs while also giving us space to enjoy and never making us feel rushed. We took almost all of his recommendations for food, from apps to mains and dessert and each one was spot on and delicious. I so appreciated that management came to our table to check in and how special they all made my mom feel. The food was out of control good with so many gluten free options for me that everyone enjoyed sharing. The vibe and atmosphere were perfect for a nice dinner, celebration or some romance. I can't believe I waited this long to go here even though it's in my neighborhood. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my mom. I'm a customer for life now and I can't wait to go back.

I had never been here before. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was 5pm. The staff was really helpful in identifying the gluten and dairy free items on their menu. I ordered a simple chicken and vegetable stir fry and it was so delicious! Especially the sauce -which had a lot of ginger in it. The portion was enough for 2 people but I ate it all in one sitting -so good! I'll be back !

They told me that they had celiac protocol and the food was delicious, the waitress showed me how they put it in on the receipt to reassure me and many people there I heard were asking about gluten-free as well. They said they have many people with celiac come through to eat there.

Very busy place but fantastic food and were extremely accommodating about my gluten free needs! Had sushi and Donburi.

Beth Doying

The service is really good. The sushi is just ok, however the tuna tataki was really good. My niece preferred her sushi roll over the pad thai, which she said was just ok. That being said, there are options for gluten allergies and she didn't get sick. It is very loud and very hot.

I celebrated my birthday at Ichiban in Asheville, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The staff was accommodating, and even though reservations weren't necessary, we chose to do so anyway and they had our seats ready and waiting. The hibachi chef was not only a culinary maestro but also kept us entertained with his humor—it was like dinner and a show. Special attention was given to our gluten-free needs, ensuring our food remained separate. To top it off, they surprised us with complimentary sushi for my birthday, and the staff sang a sweet tune to make it a truly memorable and delicious celebration. Five stars without a doubt

We sat at the bar and loved it. Our bartender Drew was amazing! I have a gluten allergy and she guided me through everything! Awesome meal and I never got sick. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Carole Schaefer

Besides serving very good food, they also can serve those with gluten sensitivity upon request.

Lindsey Ellis

Order Uber eats from here all of the time! Very gluten free friendly and accommodating

Rebecca Ramey

So good! A lot of gluten free customers. They make their own soy sauce, but I couldn’t have it. It was neat to see an all woman staff! So friendly! I will be back!

Clean and tasty, except the duck noodle soup is not served with scallion as advertised, and it uses the same broth that cooks the dumplings. Not gluten free. Four slices of duck in a bowl half filled with noodles, bok choy, and broth.
