Asheville is a Mecca for veggie lovers. Here are some of my must-trys...

Perhaps the most delicious thing I've ever eaten: The Beech Mushroom Tempura with tokyo ranch + onion ash! Also they've got great vegetable gyoza and veggie ramen. Very cool patio, too.

Vegetarian Southern Comfort Food! SO many delicious meat-free sides. I get the green beans, sweet potato casserole, corn pudding & fried okra!

I love their vegan breakfast burrito with barley-corn salad, No Evil Foods vegan chorizo, organic black beans, organic sweet potatoes, salsa, Vegenais!

Family Meal - peanut butter tofu, kale, mashed potatoes!

jack fruit crab cakes, seed burger, and their famous Dragon or Harmony bowls- so great and awesome patio for people watching

a gem in AVL! all vegan and delicious- try the Brussels ramen

naan tacos, mushroom dumplings, lettuce wraps, and countless delicious curries.

Kale Pizza! marinated kale, artichokes, walnuts, Gorgonzola, mozz. & more- so good

I’m literally addicted to Popeye’s spinach burger. it must have a pound of delicious sauteed spinach made into a “burger” with Parmesan cheese.

the vegetarian platter comes with baba ganoush, hummus, pita, olives, veggies, and tabouli - so good and filling for only 10 bucks.

Ukiah merges Japanese Soul Food with American BBQ techniques. With everything from Raw to Ramen, Woodfired to Smoked, it's quickly becoming a new favorite in Asheville. Oh, and they recently just started weekend brunch!

Located close to the Orange Peel, this spot is perfect for a pre-concert dinner or cocktails on date night! Their large Japanese inspired menu keeps everyone at the table happy. Grab a spot on the patio, and don't forget to order a some Wagyu skewers.

Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse

Deliriously good fried chicken and southern soul food prepared to order and spiced the way you like it, from plain to extra hot. Locally sourced quality ingredients for the classic American recipes made from scratch every day.

Chicken quality here is superb! Order something spicy if you want a challenge, they don’t play any games. Great serving sizes but still a bit pricey. Overall, very pleased with my visit!
