  We visited Itto Ramen today and ordered the Itto Classic ramen. The broth was rich, and the seared pork belly had an amazing smoky aroma and flavor. Miss Sky kindly recommended the pan-fried dumplings, and they turned out to be incredibly juicy and delicious. Her warm and attentive service made our meal even more enjoyable. We truly had a great time dining here ❤️recommend 👍👍👍

  Food was absolutely incredible. We were very unimpressed by "service." We were told to sit anywhere we like (no problem), then the same girl (short and blonde) came by a moment later and just said, "ready to order?" There was no "hi I'm (name), welcome, let me tell you about us, any questions?" No greet at all, just "are you ready to order?" We are from out of town and this was our first (and last) visit, so we needed some time. After a few minutes she came by again and literally said the same... "ready to order?" After ordering, a new server (tall and brunette) came in (must have been shift change) and was just as dry and inattentive as the first server. Hardly a smile to be seen and servers, hosts, and a lady who may have been a manager all could be seen on their phones at various times during our experience. Again, the food was awesome, but the service was just not good. We observed another server (brown pigtails and nose rings) seemingly very happy with/attentive to her guests and we were sad we did not receive the same hospitality. The other front of house staff could really learn a thing or two from her attitude and work ethic.

  Horrible service the girl came up to us took our order and before we could finish saying it she’s like “okay” and did a 180 and walked away. Interesting dress code as well. Ramen options are all pork except the seafood which isn’t good. I just don’t like pork

  I got the specialty Joy roll. The menu said it was tofu, cream cheese, and crunch topped with avocado and sesame. it took 30 minutes to come out even though there were only three other tables of people for lunch time- My friends ramen came out 15 minutes before my roll. The roll I was brought had tofu cream cheese and avocado inside of it but nothing crunchy and nothing on top. I asked the server if this was correct and she said yes. When I read the menu to her she said she'd check in with the kitchen. she then brought me another roll which did have avocado on top but had soggy bread crumbs inside. it was edible but definitely not crunchy or what I would call a specialty roll. My friend wouldn't try it because she said it looked unappetizing. She liked her ramen though. So perhaps just don't get the sushi here (also the wasabi was greyish and dry)

  I’ve been to every single noodle place in Asheville and surrounding areas. I’ve lived here for 21 years and remember when this place was the lucky otter that served burritos and quesadillas, this place is a waste of space. Food- ordered fries for 9$ and got a tiny plate. They were not salty at all and had almost no parm on them(parm was advertised) and the parm had no flavor. They served it with this “white sause” I swear to you it tasted like NOTHING they should use it as a palate cleanser at a winery because it’s so bland and sucks the flavor out of stuff. Moving on to the noodles…. My pork was burnt AND cold somehow. The noodle to broth ratio was wayyy off. And very very flavorless. Also overpriced. The serving size was ok . All the servers wore different outfits. No dress code at all. Like not even color. I get wearing what makes your comfortable and I have no problem with short shorts or being free. I worked in the front and back of kitchen, hell I used to be a hooters girl, I know fun. I also know when food is not up to standard, my advice? All servers need to wear the same name tag and maybe the same hat. Other than that it can be whatever. Just something. And the food? Add more toppings for free especially because it’s 16$ for something I could make at home for 5$. Also the broth needs to be more concentrated. This is not a hate review this is HONEST please make a few changes and you’ll see the difference.
