Thai Restaurant $ 4.2 (279)


Pon's Thai Cuisine is a hidden gem known for its authentic Thai dishes, which many customers regard as some of the best in Asheville.

" I had high expectations, but my experience was mixed. The food was delicious, however, my wait time was over an hour, which was disappointing. The service staff seemed stressed, and my nerves were tested. But I will give it a chance again because I would love to try their crab cheese rolls, which I heard were incredible! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely one of my favorite spots in Asheville. The food at Pon's is unmatched! I tried their Pad Thai last week and I have to admit, it is the BEST I've tasted. Flavors of lime and peanuts, creamy and delicious. The owner is very kind. The atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired since it’s in a gas station, but the quality of the food truly eclipses that. Be prepared for a wait; good things take time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard so many good things about Pon's, and it didn't disappoint! The Tom Yum soup was flavorful and refreshing, just the way it should be! It’s a bit out of the way and in a gas station, which makes it feel like a bit of a secret. The wait time was a little long for my liking, so just be patient and call your order in, that way you won’t mind the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" This charming little gas station restaurant is so worth your time! Their Red Curry has an incredible depth of flavor, making it one of my favorites. I love how the chef really takes her time to prepare each dish. Just make sure to call ahead to avoid long waits. The experience of authentic comfort food is well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pon's is a must-visit for any Thai food lover! The curry options are wonderfully vibrant, and they aren't shy about bold flavors. The only downside was the atmosphere, felt a bit cramped at times; however, I'm more about the food. I recommend arriving early to bypass the rush. It's a perfect place to satisfy your Thai cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Pon's while searching for a quick dinner and I'm so glad I did! The chicken Pad Thai was bursting with flavor and had just the right amount of spice. I appreciated the effort they put into making every dish fresh to order. It's a cozy little spot inside a gas station, which adds to its charm. Just be prepared to wait a bit, but trust me, it's worth it! I'll come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is it! The most authentic Thai experience you can get in Asheville. The chef has a magical touch with her recipes. We tried the crab cheese rolls and never wanted to share. Every bite was flavorful and rich. Only bet is to call your order in ahead of time; they get busy, and waiting is inevitable. But patience is a virtue here. Highly recommend trying their mango sticky rice for dessert too! " (*Curated Review*)
