Daymoon Coffeebar Locals’ pick
A drive-thru with actually good coffee... Asheville basically never gives you both. Pull up, grab the cortado, keep moving.

Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse
Locals’ pickSashimi on one side, the binchotan grill on the other, and a great date-night room around it. Order a few pieces of raw fish and a few skewers, then let them run the table. The meal unfolds slowly.

Neng Jr.'s Locals’ pick
Book early or plan on missing it. Hardest reservation in town right now, and it earns it. The Filipino menu is bold and personal, nothing watered down for a wider crowd.
Hole Doughnuts
Doughnuts fried to ORDER, so they hit warm and a little crackly at the edges. Small menu, done exactly right. Beat the line.
