Asheville's food scene is plenty packed, but there's still room for improvement. Or at least that's the way it seems. An informal Facebook poll of what restaurant Asheville needs most brought in hundreds of answers, many of which had a common theme.

About 15% of the people who responded wanted either a real Jewish deli, old-school sandwiches or authentic Chinese food, and we have good news for you.

Read on to learn more about what you said our most notable needs are, and where you might be able to fulfill those wants right now:

Real Chinese/Sichuan food

Yes, we have precious few decent Chinese restaurants around here, but things, we hope, are looking up.

In the next week or so, the Shanghai Dumpling House will open in the former Doc Chey's at 37 Biltmore Ave., though details are scarce.

The owners are part of the same team behind Shogun Buffet and have not wanted to divulge too much before the restaurant gets open. But they promise traditional Chinese dim sum which, if you're unfamiliar, means small dishes including, but not limited to, the dumplings in the restaurant's name.

Also opening soon is Typhoon Noodle, a pan-Asian fast-casual restaurant serving dishes from Vietnamese pho to Taiwanese beef noodle. The owner and chef both hail from China, and they promise a few selections of proper Sichuan food in the mix with other far-Eastern dishes. Typhoon Noodle will open in mid-August at 1834 Hendersonville Road.

If you'd like to try dim sum right now, head to Red Ginger Dim Sum and Tapas, which is decidedly more pan-Asian than solely Chinese, but still very good. Lunch is especially affordable, with $10 bento boxes affording a filling and inexpensive meal. 82 Patton Ave.

Old-school sandwiches, hot dogs

Even though it's hopping busy, I'm figuring some of you looking for classic sandwiches in Asheville have still not heard of the High Test Deli & Sweet Shop, which has stacked roast beef and provolone sandwiches; BLTs; tuna salad sandwiches and classic Reubens with corned beef, Swiss cheese, kraut and rye. Yes, Italians and clubs, too.

In fact, it checks a lot of boxes. Some of you said you were looking for a good Chicago dog, and here, you can get a footlong or standard-sized dog with all the proper fixings: tomatoes, pickles, sport pepper, celery seasoning, onions and relish, though not the classic neon-green relish you might be accustomed to.

It's expensive, said Barry Tetrault. "So we make our own." There's also no poppy seed bun, he added. "But people get it, stick their head in the door, tell us it's the first one they've had since Chicago, and it's spot-on."

High Test also serves a Cuban sandwich, another thing you asked for, on bread Tetrault gets from a Cuban bakery. He's one of the biggest customers outside of Miami, he boasted.

Also, those of you looking for cheap eats will appreciate the prices here: $2.69-$5.59 for hot dogs, $6.19-$8.49 for sandwiches. "I want you in here 2-3 times a week," Tetrault said.

Find High Test at 134 Coxe Ave. Hours are Monday-Friday 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Saturday 4 p.m.-10 p.m.

And, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Loretta's, a longtime Asheville favorite for cheap eats and great sandwiches on fluffy house-made bread, at 114 N Lexington Ave.

ISO: Jewish Deli

We still don't have a dedicated Jewish deli, but Geraldine's Bakery on Merrimon Avenue can scratch that itch in a certain way: Find Challah on Fridays, for example, and New York deli-style breakfast sandwiches in the morning, at 840 Merrimon Ave.

You may also find proper bagels and generously stacked pastrami sandwiches at Ziggy's Bakery and Deli at 1550 Hendersonville Road, Suite 100, which focuses on Philly-style food.

And, as has been the case for 17 years, the HardLox Jewish Food and Heritage Festival is coming to Pack Square in the fall, with mountains of Mandelbrot and lots of latkes and, of course, lox. This year's fest is Oct. 13, 11 a.m.-4 p.m., and you'll find plenty of traditional Jewish food, Israeli dancing, crafts, klezmer music and lots more.

Keto-friendly fare?

For those of you clamoring for keto, low-carb and Paleo food, check out Clean Eatz in South Asheville. It's part of a franchise of eateries focusing on special dietary needs and wellness eating.

You'll find a fast-casual cafe with grain bowls and lettuce-wrapped burgers, a meal plan component and a heavily stocked grab-and-go section. There's bison and beef for the Paleo and keto set; poultry and seafood for heart-healthy patrons; and vegetarian proteins and plenty of salads, too. Clean Eatz is open daily at 1950 Hendersonville Road.

Turkish food?

Several of you also asked for Turkish fare, and Asheville has that, too. The Döner serves Turkish pide, which is somewhat like flatbread pizza, plus Döner kebabs and crisp Turkish pizza called Lahmacun, made in a stone oven.

You'll also find more German-inspired street food-style stuff, including a chicken schnitzel sandwich and a Hickory Nut Gap bratwurst served in a bun with kraut.

Look for The Döner at 1042 Haywood Road, adjoining Upcountry Brewing. The flagship location is, surprisingly enough, in the Asheville Mall, where the menu is a bit streamlined.
