JAZMIN

Such a cute spot with really good food! Brandi was our server & was so nice & accommodating. Highly recommend the curry pineapple fried rice & the fresh rolls appetizer!

We came here for Thanksgiving dinner and had a really great experience. The place was crowded and I’m glad we made reservations, but even the people waiting seemed to get seated pretty quickly. Our server Jessica was very friendly and attentive. We started with the siu mai and the Jade Shrimp dumplings, and the dumplings easily stole the show. For entrees I had the Lemon Chili Bass, and it was perfect. The fish was cooked just right, the sauce had so much flavor, and it came with bok choy which is one of my favorites. My fiancé ordered the Chicken in Black Bean Sauce. It was good, just a little more on the basic side. Overall it was a great spot, especially for this area. The food, service, and atmosphere all came together really nicely, and we would definitely go back.

Great food, better service! Jay was wonderful and answered all of our questions about the new menu. If you are in Asheville, you need to come try! A little loud but it is expected with a good turnout!

This place is awesome. The food was soooo good. Eric our waiter was great. Wasn't sure what to order, he made some suggestions and they were so good. Dumplings, pineapple fried rice, and thai basil beef were awesome. My go to now for friend rice and noodle dishes. Head chef even took a pic with us and was super nice to us.

I honestly can’t put into words how I feel about the food. It truly was exceptional. From the vibe to the staff to the food. Truly one of the best places I’ve eaten in a long time. If you haven’t been here yet, RUN. NOW. You will not be disappointed. Also, make sure to ask Kevin (bartender) for one of his special drinks. He is magical at mixology.

Jazmin is a great find! Came here on date night and their beef Massaman curry is some of the best I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend getting the house-made roti with curry & adding an extra roti.

We love this place! Our server, Emily, was great and gave us great recommendations. She updated us on the timing of our food and was knowledgeable about the menu. Would come back!

We had some of the dumplings, sea bass, green curry, drunken undon, and two deserts, along with a few mixed drinks. This was a lovely surprise in flavors and uniqueness. This was a wonderful experience with incredible food! We can’t wait to go back! If you need any suggestions the staff is incredibly knowledgeable!

We had a great experience at Jazmin! First thing first, make a reservation! The inside is a bit small so there is limited seating. They do have a pretty spacious outdoor area though. We were in Asheville for our wedding anniversary. When I booked the reservation, I added that to it. We were greeted by a very friend host (owner or manager?) who was elated that it was our anniversary. He asked how many years and thanked us for choosing to spend it at Jazmin. He told us to pick whatever open table we wanted. The restaurant was pretty busy as our visit went on but our server, Jessica, was attentive and available for us. The entire staff appeared to enjoy being there. The cocktails were delicious. I ordered the Lychee Blossom and my husband had the Blush Geisha. We had the vegetable spring rolls and pork potstickers to start. The spring rolls were perfect; they came out warm and crispy. The insides had a nice flavor and the dipping sauce had a little kick and tasted great with the rolls. The potstickers were fine in my opinion. My husband loved them though! They had a nice crisp from the pan but the rest was a little doughy to me. My husband got the KungPao chicken and I did the chicken Phad Thai. The Kung Pao chicken had a great spice level. The Phad Thai was pretty good. It was a little too much sauce for me but the sauce tasted great. We weren't going to have dessert but the manager sent us over a mango tapioca dessert to celebrate. It was a nice, light taste to end the night! We highly recommend visiting Jazmin!

Hmm. A pretty typical downtown Asheville tourist restaurant. Not bad, not authentic, about 30% over priced with a thin-concept adult contemporary vibe. The staff was abundant and friendly but that didn't prevent some confusion in the kitchen from forgetting a dish in our order. Took a bit to get that noticed and fixed. The pan-Asian dishes tastes like a slightly upscale version of each dish is supposed to taste. They are designed to pop with flavor, sugar and color in that sort of corporate Vegas hotel kinda strategy. I really liked the corn fritters. The curry with the roti cani was spot on but the bread itself lacked layers. The soups were quite good with the wonton being a more Vietnamese style with strong ginger notes. The string beans had a typical sweet brown sauce. A bit too sweet. The sweet and sour pork was a refined old school mashup with minimal breading and ketchup vinegar sauce. But oddly uneven in the sizes of the ingredients which to me is a sign of inauthenticity. I understand the place in the world for this sort of spot. It is a crowd pleaser where your in-laws or meet up with a group but I admit it does rub me the wrong way when they don't dare to have chopsticks at the table.

Visited for the first time during our trip to Asheville and it was a bit disappointing. The staff were very nice and friendly, however, the service was so slow and it took an hour to get the drunken udon noodles. We got an appetizer and that took around 30 minutes to receive. We ordered coffee and that took about 10 minutes to get as well. The restaurant is nice and has indoor, patio and bar seating but the inside is a bit crowded.

I wanted to wait a few weeks to visit the newly opened Jazmin to avoid any new restaurant issues. Everything was awesome! We ordered a variety of small plates and shared between four of us. Everything was so flavorful & delicious. Service was prompt and the food came out really fast. Don't skip dessert! I would also recommend The Singapore Sling cocktail. The interior dining room is small, but has a lot of tables packed in. It was a little loud, but not too bad.

Excellent Chinese dinner at this new restaurant. We started with the veggie spring rolls and hot & sour soup, both were very good. Entrées included phad thai and a curry pineapple fried rice dish, which were also good. Thes ervice was excellent. Highly recommend.

This place has been opened for about 3 weeks. Our server, Rachel was very pleasant and gave our party time to catch up once she found out it was a cousin meet up. We ordered an appetizer of spring rolls which were served nice and hot. They had a nice crisp to them. The inside was a nice combo of tables set up to serve 2 and up to a party of about 6. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Two of us had the miso shrimp which was served with plenty of veggies. One got Kung Pao chicken which was a hit. The last person in our party got the chicken karpow, which was ground chicken and green beans. It had good flavor but they wished the green beans were bigger. If in the area again would try again.

WARNING: MENU LISTED INGREDIENTS THAT NEVER SHOWED UP WARNING: FOOD DESCRIPTIONS DID NOT MATCH WHAT WAS SERVED WARNING: PHOTOS ONLINE LOOK NOTHING LIKE THE REAL FOOD WARNING: MANY REVIEWS DO NOT MATCH THE REAL EXPERIENCE I spent $70 on lunch at Jazmin and left furious. The menu descriptions sounded great but when the food arrived, several things listed on the dish simply weren't there. What I got felt stripped-down and thrown together, like corners were cut everywhere. On top of that, the pictures online and on the website did not match reality at all. The plating, portions, and quality looked completely different smaller, sloppier, and nowhere near what was advertised. The food itself was bland and absolutely not worth the price. If this is considered "authentic," I must be missing something because it tasted generic and uninspired. Service didn't help. Most of the staff looked irritated and worn out, like they hated being there. It created an uncomfortable, rushed vibe the entire time. And honestly, after eating here, I don't understand how so many glowing reviews exist. A lot of them read nothing like the experience I had they feel completely disconnected from reality. For $70, I expected something memorable. Instead, I walked out angry, disappointed, and feeling misled. If you want value or honesty in what you're ordering, I would strongly look elsewhere

An early closure at another restaurant created the opportunity to try Jazmin. We began with the Whiskey Sour cocktails and fantastic Beef Siu Mai and the Jade Shrimp Dumplings. We selected the Tozai Well of Wisdom Gingo Sake to go with our Chicken Krapow and Chicken with Black Bean sauce. Cozy new location that was able to accommodate our walk-in and Emily made sure everything was taken care of.

Jazmin is a new pan-Asian restaurant at the site of the former Mayfel's across from Pritchard Park in the heart of downtown Asheville. The site has been remodeled into a cozy space that evokes a restaurant in Thailand or Indonesia without looking like a theme park. Both indoor and (heated) front patio seating. Inside it's noisy, but in a good way that allows you to have lively conversation with a group and not feel like you're making too much noise. The service is top-notch. Considering this is still the soft opening period, the wait staff worked together seamlessly and coordinated very well with the kitchen staff so that the timing of cocktails, appetizers and entrees was perfect. Even though the place was packed on a Saturday nigh and there was a wait, we did not feel rushed at all. We started with cocktails and appetizers. The standout cocktail was the passionfruit citrus spritzer. The Singapore Sling was also good. The Westbrook White Thai beer paired especially well with the food. For appetizers we had: (special) mushroom dumplings (savory delight in every bite!), pork potstickers (good, with good dipping sauces) and the star -- crispy honey, chili potatoes (perfect combination of sweet and spicy, basically Thai french fries). For entrees we had: chicken phad Thai (very good), Thai basil beef (the beef was wonderful, amplified by the peppery Thai basil that contrasted well with a sweet chili paste), chicken krapow (the chilis in this dish gave it a great flavor profile, but only eat them directly if you like a lot of heat. Note: one member of our group found this dish a bit too salty, although I didn't notice that at all), and shrimp mee sapam with Phuket "hawker style" noodles (the shrimp was fantastic, tender and not chewy at all, the sauce was nice and the noodles themselves were probably the second best Asian style noodles I've ever had). Overall this place is a great addition to Asheville's Asian food scene. It's a little pricier than other Asian restaurants in town, but the food quality, presentation and service are all a cut above, so the higher price point is worth it. We'll be back to try more offerings from this large and varied pan-Asian menu.

Food is definitely overrated. Flavor was mediocre and obviously catering to the palates of non-Asians. The service was very good.

Really delicious and great service. Every table was full and everything came out perfectly. Our server had excellent suggestions. Menu options ***** Japanese whiskey sour **** Gin lychee blossom martini **** Thai beef salad ***** Drunken udon (veg) **** Crispy potato app ****

Among many good things, their delicious dumplings are my favorites on the menu. Good enough to go back the next day! Shrimp, beef, chicken are all very worthy. But the bokchoy chestnut are outstanding. All served with yummy sauces. Also very much enjoyed the basil fried rice. I've been there 4x in the last month.

Wow. Absolutely fantastic food and experience. We were Friday night walk ins and got seated at the bar right away. Very friendly staff and every dish was amazing. We got the thai beef salad, tom yum soup, dumplings and curry. Would recommend all three. We live far away in a place with exceptional Asian cuisine and this just knocked our socks off. We'll be back every time we fly in.

Very popular new place. Only opened about a month ago and owners are working the front and helping out where needed. Service was a touch slow but food and drinks were absolutely a 5/5. First off I want to say, finally a place that doesn't charge the same price for mocktails as they do for alcoholic drinks. Second, I got the seabass and it was the most tender and delicious fish I've had in a long while. Comes with two rather larger sized filets with bok choy and some lemon. My only criticism is I felt a bit penny pinched on the rice. The dishes come with a tiny half filled bowl of rice and when I asked for a little more to finish my entree I didn't realize it was an extra charge. I'd rather the prices just be upped instead of feeling transacted from rice. Great place will 100% be back!

Beware of fake reviews. This is not one of them. I ate here tonight and was angry when I left. I wished the server gave me time to get into the dish before being immersed with a table that ordered drinks. First off, The entree was far from described on the menu. No spinach, carrot or fried garlic. They put in whatever, including LOTS of Scallions and onions. Had to double check, (twice), but NOTHING on menu described what I received. It was also super fatty! I thought Id mistakenly ordered pork belly, nope. So much fat it was impossible to get around, especially since it was obscured/breaded. I left most the "meat" on the plateUnfortunately the Server somehow didn't notice. My companion said his curry was subpar and not good. The appetizer was also lacking. No papaya, one micro piece of mandarin and mostly just lettuce. Id like to give the place a second chance since I am actually a local but it's not worth the expenditure.

Service was a little iffy since we were sitting on the patio. Server was very nice though. Seating is a little tight as well if there's more than like 5 parties seated. Food wait time was longer than expected, about 15-18 minutes. I had the Phad Thai. It was good, however, nothing insane. My sister loved her Drunken Udon though.

This new restaurant is incredible. Every dish we had was packed full of flavor and cooked to perfection. We had the shrimp app, French fry app, the bok choy dumplings, the salmon entree, and a beef dish and were blown away by each one. I hope the quality keeps up over time.

It was only open 4 days when we went the first time. After we left Asheville, we had eaten there a total of 3 times...in a week. We are locals and it is a short walk for us!! The owner greeting us a few times on our visits. Fantastic menu. EVERYTHING everyone had they loved. Impressive after only being open s week. Something tells me, we will need reservations a month ahead of time in the future!!

There was a group of four of us that went to Jazmin today for lunch. Our server, Emily, was amazing. She gave us a rundown on most of the menu items and gave us some awesome recommendations for appetizers and entrées. We were blown away with the quality of food and service that we received. They have not even have a grand opening yet, and have only been open for about a week, but you would have never guessed that. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere is beautiful. I highly recommend it. I almost never go to a restaurant until they've been open for at least two months so that they can iron through all of the wrinkles. This was definitely not the case at Jazmin. A definite must try.

What a wonderful addition to downtown Asheville! Jazmin offers an incredible journey through the flavors of Asia -- from the aromatic curries of Thailand and Malaysia to the wok-tossed dishes of Indonesia and China. Every plate feels thoughtfully crafted, full of authentic spices and fresh ingredients. The ambiance is elegant yet warm, with beautiful décor and inviting lighting that make it perfect for both a casual dinner and a special night out. The staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. Highly recommend the curries, noodles, and the unique chef's specials -- each dish bursts with flavor and balance. It's rare to find a place that celebrates so many Asian cuisines under one roof, and Jazmin truly pulls it off with finesse.

A Pan-Asian Paradise! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special. This restaurant is a true gem for lovers of bold, vibrant flavors across Asia. I ordered the Thai curry, Hakka noodles, and Roti Kanai -- and each dish was a masterclass in taste and texture. The Thai curry was rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced -- creamy coconut mingled with just the right kick of spice. Every bite felt like a warm hug from Bangkok. The Hakka noodles were stir-fried to perfection -- smoky, savory, and loaded with fresh veggies and umami goodness. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate how good it is. And the Roti Kanai? Flaky, buttery, and served with a dipping sauce that could win awards. It was the perfect fusion of comfort and indulgence. The ambiance was chic yet cozy, and the service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell the team here takes pride in every plate they serve. If you're craving a culinary journey through Asia without leaving town, this is the place to be. I'll be back -- probably tomorrow

The food was so good that we went two nights in a row. The service was great. Our server was Emily, she was very attentive and offered recommendations. The owner was very hospitable. I would highly recommend eating here.

Yes, the food is tasty but shrimp in Pad Thai was tiny and small portion. The chicken truffle mushroom was completely void of mushrooms and had afew tiny shreds of chicken. There are much better Thai restaurants and they don't steal your hard earned cash.

This new restaurant is fantastic! We will be back again and again. Truly exceptional, even for Asheville
