My only wish is that more people will love and appreciate how good the food is. This is a chef that offers no apologies to the Appalachian palate and stays true to authentic thai flavors. The fact that most thai restaurants from here to Columbia SC offer NO “Prik nam pla” (fish sauce with thai chili’s) as a side is surprising. It’s not an option, its mandatory for authentic thai flavors. They one up it with having a pickled thai chili side. Their orange hot sauce is house made as well.

I am obsessed with Cassia! I have gotten their yellow curry with tofu and the garlic chive cakes two weeks in a row. I have tried many thai restaurants in Asheville, and this is by far the best. So so fresh and authentic. I used to work at a hole in the wall thai restaurant where the chef/owner was a Cambodian lady, so I am a bit of a thai food connoisseur. I highly recommend Cassia!

Every Friday we treat ourselves to amazing Thai food prepared by Cassia at Cellarest Beer Project on Haywood Rd. Everything is prepared fresh. Maddy and Trevor make their own curry pastes and sauces.
Must haves are the Firecrackers, either shrimp or sweet potatoes, with a delicious dipping sauce. The rest of menu changes each week. Fresh Salad Rolls, steamed buns, chive pancakes are just some of the other finger foods.
Then there are the rotating main dishes with grilled meats or fried fish, salads, noodle dishes and curries. All mouth watering and satisfying. And they will keep you coming back for more!

My new favorite spot in Asheville. They change their menu every week. I hope they put the papaya salad on more often! I’ve been so impressed. The owners seem very kind as well!

Some of the most high quality, authentic and creative Thai food I have had in the states. The menu changes every two weeks and the number of different dishes I have been able to have in the last year (most that I rarely find at other Thai restaurants) is incredible. They serve a wide variety of types of meat and veggies for keeping a small rotating menu. And I’m serious about the veggies. Locally grown stir fried bamboo! The freshest papaya and pomelo salads! Nam prik egglant dip!! Kabocha squash! They make their own curry paste and the quality of their curries is really impressive. They always have plant based and gluten free options on each menu, and even make their own vegan version of pork belly that is crazy close to the real thing.
Chefs Maddy and Trevor are kind, knowledgeable and truly want to do right by Thai food and culture, as well as by their customers. They get the freshest ingredients from local farms and Asian grocers. They try as often as they can to accommodate additional dietary restrictions. They do a great job bringing authentic Thai dishes to our WNC community in a way that expands horizons and elevates our Asheville food scene.

I love Cassia! Their food is always amazing. Everything Ive ordered is delicious and fresh. Their homemade hot sauce is to die for.

Can’t even explain how much I love this food. We basically go every weekend to try Thai tasties on the rotating menu. Sooo ❤️

Nice enough people, I was not impressed with the food. There were no healthy options, everything was deep fried, even the sweet potatoes. They do offer meat alternatives, like mushrooms and tofu, but the mushroom just disintegrates in the deep fried batter. It was definitely not worth $18 for rice, at small side and overly fried tasteless mushrooms. It’s a food truck with picnic tables, plastic ware and paper plates, which i have no problem with, just not the value or taste for the price. In my opinion. It does have cool outdoor vibe and shares space with a quality brewery that my husband enjoyed. He was also very disappointed with the food and generally has no issue with fried food.

Everything was delicious and we look forward to returning asap! We spent about $70 for 4 of us and all felt stuffed at the end. Could get less next time, but it was a special occasion and we wanted to try as much as possible:)

Can not say enough good things about this. I have eaten here several times and every single time it has been amazing. No duds ever. It is spicy, delicious, fresh, and perfect. AND they are very kind about adapting menu to fit food preferences. AND it is locally sourced. AND the presentation – they put a tiny amount of fish scales on top of a dish to make it glitter. Wish it was open everyday and I could order online, but always another excuse to drink delicious beer from Cellarest. Thank you for making my tastes buds happy and my soul satisfied.
