There’s nothing like finding a hidden gem that survives the storm — and that’s exactly what we experienced recently at Udon Sushi & Noodle in Asheville. We stopped by this longtime favorite at 129 Bleachery Blvd (right near Wal‑Mart and Cheddar’s) and enjoyed a fantastic meal — dumplings, fresh sushi, Mongolian beef, and all the flavors we remembered and loved.
Asheville Restaurant Still Somewhat Underwater (But Rising!)
This spot was once a local hot spot for Asian cuisine, but like many small businesses in this area, it was hit hard by Hurricane Helene and had to close for about a year while they rebuilt from flooding damage. Now they’re back open and look great — remodeled, refreshed, and serving up quality eats again. It’s awesome to see them bouncing back with a full menu and friendly service.
Sadly, this corridor around Bleachery Blvd still feels somewhat underwater when it comes to small businesses. Big stores like Walmart, Aldi, and Target have returned, but many of the neighborhood mom‑and‑pop spots are still struggling to get back on their feet. That makes every reopening — like Udon’s — even more special.
Reviews from locals show the love:
⭐️ “So glad they’re reopened. Lovely food, lovely owners. Lotsa vegan options too!! Make this your local spot for sure.”
⭐️ “Udon is open again after Helene … everything is just as delicious as before and everyone there just as nice as ever.”
Whether you’re craving sushi, noodles, dumplings, or a cozy dinner spot with familiar favorites, make sure to swing by Udon Sushi & Noodle and support one of Asheville’s hardworking local eateries. Small businesses like this deserve our love and patronage — because a thriving local restaurant means a thriving community.
