Gan Shan Station

SNAPSHOT = great dumplings take center stage but you'll want to meet the supporting cast - updated details below. As of June 1st, lunch service has been discontinued at Charlotte Street but will still available at Gan Shan Station West. I have yet to get there but am eager to check it out. Dumplings, like most other dishes here, come in vegan versions and are not just afterthoughts. Veggies are used smartly at Gan Shan. Gai Lon is excellent! Very nicely spicy and full of flavor. Kimchi is a nice addition to this menu. It is fresh and made with great care and with a true love for the dish. Szechuan Cucumbers are really nice side dish. I am looking forward to going for dinner, but that just might not happen. Why, you ask? Service over lunches I've had so far has been great. Dave was professional, knowledgeable and attentive. Dani has become my favorite server. So glad she came to Gan Shan in order to work daytime. Dani is an excellent server and just a delightful woman. Food is always great here, but Dani turns plates of fantastic food into a memorable lunch. Professional, geuinely kind, fun and sweet - you'll find her to be a fantastic server. She's really great. Come find out for yourself! I would recommend lunch at Gan Shan any day. Any day Dani serves you lunch will be really special.

I emailed a person at Gan Shan to set up the Chef's Tasting Table for my SIL's 30th bday, and even though they were not able to set it up, they offered to provide a "special" dessert (which was delicious btw). There was a group of 8 of us and we were quickly seated outdoors, and the menu was unique. We ordered a variety of plates and shared (even though I didn't want to share mine...the seasonal watermelon app). Prices were a little high, but a dish can easily be split between two people). I can't wait to visit again!

When is Asheville, this is the place to visit!! The rice bowl was the win...Fried rice is full of smoked flavor and delicious bean fried chicken... Like wow... bean friend chicken was such a good touch to the fried rice. Chicken wings were extra flavorful with asian touch!! Dumplings of the day were taste of pork and were good, but i think next time id like to try something different. The Chicken Ramen Noodle bowl is the one meal i would not recommend!! It looked tasteful but to my taste i just would not recommend. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the waitress was super friendly.
