This is the easiest review I have written to date. If you like Asian food and happen to be in the Roanoke area, stop by this little gem and enjoy great food and service. Just to reassure you I have visited this restaurant several times. Once or twice our group was just a few couples - the most recent visit... More

Such a wide variety of dishes frin Pad Thai to Terriyaki Salmon. I have never had a bad dish here. The owner is especially friendly and takes the time to... More

I feel like I am being generous when I cal this dining experience "Average". My husband and I were looking for a vegetarian lunch and thought we would try Cafe Asia. There were no vegetarian options listed as lunch specials. However, since there were a few vegetable dishes on the entree menu, we stayed. My husband ordered Tofu Home Style,... More

Cafe Asia has become one of our favorite local (East side of Roanoke) restaurants. We can always count on friendly and courteous service along with good fresh Sushi. While the menu is consistent, Cafe Asia offers changing daily specials on both their hot and Sushi lines.

Chinese food is my favorite and this resturant has topped them all. The food is fresh and delish..we will be back often. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

Very well prepared Chinese cuisine served by pleasant, efficient staff in an attractive upscale setting. Located in a small strip mall just off a busy artery, but don't exterior appearances fool you. For those who enjoy good Chinese food, this is a rare find.

Best Chinese in Roanoke- although Szechuan in SW Roanoke is very good too.

After having been spoiled by the numerous pho places in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was pleasantly surprised by the pho at this place in Virginia. It's not exactly like what you'll get in California, but it's close enough. There aren't the choices available that many pho places offer - it's just "beef pho" - which appears to be... More
