We have eaten here probably 50 times and the food and service is always excellent! The owner, Feng makes our visit even more special. He personally comes to greet us with a handshake or hug. We plan on trying his new location on 419....Cafe Asia 2!

Great atmosphere, friendly wait staff, and great Chinese food. Cafe Asia set the bar by which I now judge all other General Tso's dishes. Very well prepared dish. I have tried the some sushi here. The spicy tuna roll was one of them and I wasn't a huge fan. I would recommend trying the Chinese food here. I will definitely be returning here when I'm in the mood for Chinese food.

I am Vietnamese and lived in Northern Virginia (known for their good Asian food) for almost 20 years before I moved to Roanoke, and Cafe Asia is my go to restaurant if I'm craving Asian food. Although the pho isn't anywhere near authentic, the other dishes are great. The drunken noodles and Thai fried rice are delicious, and the chicken teriyaki dish always comes out sizzling on the hot skillet. My parents, who were born and raised in Vietnam, also think highly of this place. My white boyfriend always asks for chopsticks with his meal but the waitress never fails to bring out a fork for him just in case. We always get a kick out of that!

A bit expensive but we LOVE going here. The food is great, always fresh and if you sit on the bar you get to try out their crab salad for free. The specials are worth checking out even if you order something else because they can help keep costs down. Occasionally our check has gone well over $100 for three of us which is a bit pricey for sushi but it's a nice place and the fact that the food is ALWAYS good that makes a difference. The owner is super friendly and has always come and greeted us personally and asked about our experience. It makes us feel very at home that he always remembers us and makes sure everything is good.

From the outside, nothing really stands out to make you think it's different than any other strip mall Asian restaurant. Fortunately, I'd heard very good things from other people who eat there regularly and I had high expectations. When we arrived, I was impressed with the design and decor of the interior. There was a sushi bar, hardwood floors, and plenty of room in what seems like a limited amount of space. It also appeared they did a large number of take out orders. The food was some of the best Asian food I've had in Roanoke. We ordered two appetizers before the meal - edamame and crab wontons. The edamame was good and the crab wontons had a good mix of crab and cream cheese - not quite as good as Pei Wei but not bad at all. For an entree, I decided to order the Chicken Curry. I had a tough time deciding between all the entrees and noodle dishes but the flavors of the curry were intriguing. I wasn't disappointed when a giant bowl filled with chicken, onion, peas, carrots, and pineapple in a delicious sauce was served. The chicken was incredibly tender (sit in the crock-pot all day sort of tender) and everything had fresh and bold flavor. There was some spice in the sauce, but the sweetness of the pineapple helped balance it out nicely. It was also served with a side of rice. For $8, I was shocked at how big the portion was. I don't think I was able to eat half of it and was able to have leftovers for two additional meals. I'd definitely go back for the curry, but I'd also be interested in trying many of the other entrees. I've also heard good things about the sushi, which I would try at lunch when the prices are more reasonable.
