My husband and I recently had a late afternoon lunch at Cafe Asia. We don't eat out very often due to my gluten allergy, but we have eaten here previously and have never had a problem. I ordered my usual chicken curry and told the waitress of my allergy. My husband ordered his usual, general tso's chicken. He specifies all... More

My wife and I love this restaurant. This is not a cheap Chinese buffet but great sit down restaurant that is worth the wait even on a Friday night. My favorite thing to order is the Bento box, which contains a varying assortment of Asian dishes including sushi or maki roll.

We had 2 orders of pot stickers because they were so good. The summer roll left a lot to be desired. It was mostly vermicelli noodles. Needs more meat and vegetables and more fresh herbs ... Some Thai basil would help a lot. I had Tom Yam soup and Tom had hot and sour soup. Both were good and quite... More

This was a highlight of our weekend in Roanoke. The sushi we had was delicious and the presentation was very creative compared to what we see in Atlanta. Pot stickers were done perfectly. The seafood soup I had was unique, but just ok on taste. Good Thai iced teas as well. We will go back!

We went last week for the first time, and have been beating ourselves up for NOT going before then. It's a bit of a hike from our house, but now that we know how exceptional the food is, we will be going MUCH more often. The Hot and Sour Soup was the best ever...and after searching in vain for good... More

If you are looking for some tasty Asian food, friendly people and beautiful food presentation… Café Asia is your place to go. Café Asia is located in the Kroger shopping center just off of 460. Upon entering, you are greeted by the restaurant's friendly staff. You can sit at the sushi bar, inside, or in their converted patio. The décor... More

I am not a huge fan of Asian food. But when my family wants it this is the only place we go. We usually get General Tao's chicken, which you can actually tell is chicken. Not a mistry meat like at some chinese places. Chicken low mein which is always tasty and beef and broccoli. Another tasty treat. BUT MY... More

I'm not a big fan of Asian food yet I really like this place. The staff is SUPER FRIENDLY and eager to please. The food is tasty and very reasonable. I think it's a nice place and though it's convenient to me, I think it sells itself short by being in a strip mall. Check it out!

The food here is so good and portions are large. The service was excellent. Desert (a Japanese pudding) was impressive, very tasty..

Sushi chef is very creative and a joy to watch at the bar. I have gotten the bento box a few times. Nice because you get to try small portions of lots of different things they do well there. I have never been disappointed. I dont care if its "authentic", just that it tastes good. The manager/owner? truely cares about... More
