In August 2000, Mile Chen, then 18, moved to the U.S. from China with his parents and sister. Chen knew little English but got a job packing togo orders in the kitchen of a restaurant in Arlington, VA. Six months later, his family opened their first restaurant where Chen furthered his learning and adopting of American culture. After a few months they sold it and moved to Boston where they opened up another Chinese restaurant.

As this business grew, so did Chen’s English and his understanding of how to run a successful restaurant. He eventually met Helen who soon became his wife. They relocated to northern Kentucky where Chen found a job at the area’s most popular fine dining Asian Cuisine, Oriental Wok, as a busboy. He quickly moved up to being a server and bartender.

According to Chen, the owner, Mr. Wong, taught him many skills and techniques on running a restaurant effectively and successfully. After a while, Chen and Helen decided it was time to move to Asheville where Helen’s sister owned three different restaurants. Together, they worked for Helen’s sister for about five years.

As time went by Chen’s family grew. His sister Rita married as well as Helen’s brother, Jesse. It was time to for them to branch out on their own. The young couple renovated an old building in Historic downtown Hendersonville and opened Champa Sushi and Thai.

Chen and his family would like to welcome everybody to come and enjoy Asian and Sushi Cuisine in a fine upscale atmosphere with affordable prices.

“This is a family-owned restaurant. We want you to feel relaxed when you experience our phenomenal food, gorgeous presentations and excellent service the minute you walk in the door,” says Chen.

Today, the restaurant has two locations, one in Hendersonville and one in Asheville, both featuring daily specials, take-out, vegetarian delights, full bar, and sake selections.

The Hendersonville location offers sidewalk dining, and a banquet room for 10 to 40. Parking is available behind the building after 5 p.m.
