Authorities say they were able to extinguish a fire overnight at a West Asheville restaurant before any major damage.
The fire was reported around 2:45 a.m. Thursday at the Yao Buffett Sushi Grill, formerly Asiana Buffet, on Smokey Park Highway. We’re told, thankfully, there was no one inside the building when the flames broke out and no one was injured. Authorities tell News 13, fortunately, the fire was contained to the grill area which is separate from the kitchen.
No word yet on if the restaurant it will be open today
