Food Photos: Sake & a Hot Pot at The Noodle Shop in Downtown Asheville

I have to say, that out of all of the Asian food restaurants in the Asheville area, this little hole-in-the-wall noodle shop in downtown Asheville takes the cake for me when it comes to atmosphere, which directly contributes to my overall experience. I remember my mother taking me out to eat Chinese food in Brooklyn New York. There were plenty of to-go joints, but every once in awhile, we would sit at a more authentic Chinese restaurant, and I remember them being a lot like The Noodle Shop.

Anyway, we eat here regularly. Not only is the atmosphere and staff awesome, but they are located in the center of downtown Asheville where all of the action is. So do not be surprised if you hear some busking, a protest happening, or a nun passing by on a bicycle.

I always like to get the House Sizzling Platter. So good!

You have so many great eateries around here also, including Posana, Rhubard, Salsa’s, Curate, Bomba, Limones, Farm Burger, and Hana Japanese; so this is a wonderful centralized location to eat your heart out!
