    The food was amazing, the service met expectations and the parking was amazing. I have always loved sushi and this place hit the spot. The prices are great I just wish the menu would be reprinted.

    I ordered takeout from here twice between 03/2021 and 04/2021. At the time, they were not accepting dine-ins. However, I am sure restrictions have lifted since then. Their selection of Trust Me Rolls were pretty good so if you have any hesitation on what to order, try any of their Trust Me Rolls. I honestly think my favourite out of all them was the Red Dragon Roll and I still miss it to this day. All their other menu items were pretty good - good amount of rice to fish ratio, as well as their fish being fresh. I was surprised by the quality and thought put into the rolls. If I am in the area, I'll go back to try again!

    Quick tasty lunch stop. Fast service, our server was very lovely. Would stop here again for sure.read more

    For some time now I had been walking on the sidewalk of Market Street in the heart of Downtown…read moreRoanoke and passing by this Japanese Sushi restaurant called Wasabi's, and today to my surprise, I had the good fortune, that one of my best friends invited me there for dinner. We parked in a nearby parking garage next to the ORVIS store on Campbell Ave. When we arrived to the restaurant it was already open with its lively and colorful neon lights turned on behind the two large windows in of the restaurant's front. They read: "WASABI'S JAPANESE FOOD SUSHI BAR." As we entered the restaurant through the center door, it was not too full, but by the time we ate and left, very few empty tables were left. Right after we were inside the restaurant, that was decorated very simple but tastefully, the Host came out and greeted us with a friendly smile and took us tour our table where he handed us each a menu. We just ordered iced water to drink. Before even looking at the menu, I examined the restaurant, especially the Sushi Bar, where one of the Chefs was preparing a Sushi plate of who's name I can't remember but of which I posted a photo with my review. The friendly host showed me around the Sushi Bar, as the Chef carefully prepared the Sushi plate. When it was time to order, I orordered a California Roll Maki dish as apappetizer and my friend ordered an Unagi Roll dish. For our main entrée we both ordered a Yakiudom Ultimate from the Kitchen Prepared Entrées. They both came with Miso Soup and House Salad with Ginger dressing. Both the soup and salad were very fresh and tasty, as well as our Sushi appetizers. When our main entrée arrived, It did so very hot. The pan fried Japanese noodles looked and tasted very good and were a nice size portion, but the shrimps were very tiny, the beef was a bit tough, and the pieces of chicken a bit dry. It's a pitty because the quality of the ingredients of a dish is a principal factor in the final success of that dish. As a constructive feedback to the owners of this restaurant, I sincerely wish that they look into this, because making this change will definitely earn this restaurant the 5 Stars. For dessert we each ordered an Ice Cream Tempura that we're two scoops of ice cream each, with one of the scoops fried and both with chocolate syrup swirls all over the top. They tasted very good; especially the batter with which the ice cream was covered before it was fried. If you like Sushi. I definitely recommend this restaurant to you. The atmosphere is very warm and cozy, the Sushi Bar is amazing with excellent Sushi Chefs, and the host and servers are very attentive and friendly.

This Asian fusion restaurant in the Cave Spring area of Roanoke, is definitely one of my favorite restaurants of all times. And my first visit and review is something that I will always hold very dear. When you finish reading this review I invite you to go back and read that review and view my photographs accompanying that review, for it was a very unique dining experience that I will never forget. From the time you arrive at this restaurant the contemporary building design seems to beckon you to approach and enter. I love their unique logo design made up of letters and a number of a particular font that communicates a certain air of distinction. Once inside, you're like in another world altogether. If the outside of the building was impressive, the interior immediately captures your attention and mesmerizes you with it's beauty. When I arrived today, a very lovely and distinguished lady, dressed very elegantly, welcomed me and led me to the table of my choice. Later did I find out that she was the owner of the restaurant, and I had an opportunity of talking with her about the restaurant, its Sushi Bar, and Sushi chefs. Soon after, my friendly server, who was from Indonesia, came to introduce himself and take my order. To drink I had a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. It was served in a tall glass and tasted marvelous. As appetizer, I had the Dim Sum Platter. It contained 3 shrimp dŕhumai, 3 pork dumplings, 3 pork wasabi shumai, and 2 roasted pork buns. One of those items was extremely spicy, I had to drink water to cool down. The others tasted reasonably good. As my main entrée I had the Lobster Tail Tempura Maki. It was very colorful and tasted, and completely filled me up. My original server did an excellent job serving me the food and coming by to check on me. But then he disappeared and another server, also Indonesian came to bring me my main entrée. I think it might have been a shift change, but feel the first server should have let me know about this fact. But if the first server wad excellent, the second was amazing. He answered all the questions I had about items on the menu, and while delivering special dishes to other customers, he allowed me to photograph this food for the benefit of the readers of this review. Then, at the end, he helped me choose the dessert to have for the Grand Finale of my meal: the Banana Basket. It was amazingly delicious and had slices of bananas, kiwi, mangos, whipped cream, and strawberries. And topped with caramel and chocolate sauces. Considering its friendly and relaxing ambiance, its extensive menu with a wide range of Asian dishes, from traditional Chinese entries to a full sushi bar with raw and cooked options, and its amazing customer service, I definitely highly recommend this restaurant from my own experience. Every time I've dined there I've had an exceptional fine dining experience, and as I'm leaving I'm already looking forward to returning.

They were doing a heck of a carry out business, and know I know why. My husband had the wonton soup - he must of enjoyed them because I didn't get to try them, however that broth - oh my delicious- I finished that - easily. I had an order of the crab wontons - mostly cream cheese tasting - wish there was a bit more crab/shrimp, overall tasty. We shared our first hot pot - ribeye, carrots, peppers, stewed tomatoes served with your choice of rice - we chose the fried. Our shrimp tempura roll was yummy! Oh and we also each had a strawberry sangria although they do have other cocktails - I totally missed out on a screwdriver but the sangria was good too. Service was excellent- very nice people. Look forward to returning in the future!

    For some time now after I ate at Cafe Asia 2, which I consider one of the best if not the best…read moreAsian Restaurant in Roanoke, Virginia, and I encourage you to read my review for that restaurant, I have been wondering if there is a Cafe Asia, the original one. After being awarded the NC Triad Yelp Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Cafe Asia, in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. One day by searching the net I so happened to finally find it. I gave them a call right away to confirm that it was the original of Cafe Asia 2, and once confirmed, I made a commitment to go there for dinner that day. Before arriving I did my research and found out that it was founded by Feng Chen in 2008 "to offer autentic Asian cuisine for everyone to enjoy." I also found out that this first location in the Bonsack area of Roanoke County, offered a pan-Asian menu that included Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and Vietnamese dishes, alongside a sushi bar. And that due to the success of this family-owned business, the second location, Café Asia 2, opened on Electric Rd in 2013. When I arrived, I was surprised that it was located in the same strip mall as Sal's Italian Restaurant which I had reviewed some time ago. As I entered the restaurant the decor was not as modern as the second one but was still very clean and nice for its time. It had a very comfortable and friendly atmosphere. The Host gave me a very friendly and warm welcome and took me to my table. I noticed that decorating the place they had strips of picture frames with pictures of customers of the restaurant, almost like saying, we put our customers first. My server was also very friendly and helpful. He answered some questions I had about the extensive menu and I gave him my order. To start off with I had a Thai Iced Coffee. As appetizer I had a Sunflower Roll from the Sushi Bar. It had spicy lobster salad, mango, avocado, with soy paper. I walked to the Sushi Bar and watched the Sushi Chef make it for me. He was very friendly and appreciated me recording the event for my readers of this review. He came out with a Culinary Masterpiece. I really savored every bite. As my main entrée I had the Pad Thai Combination. It was so good. For dessert I had two: The Mango with Sticky Rice and the Combination Mochi Ice Cream (Mango & Strawberry). It was truly a memorable meal. In conclusion, I highly recommend this restaurant and clearly see the reason for its success. It has a beautiful decor and friendly atmosphere. A menu with a great variety of items. A wonderful Sushi Chef that can work wonders making culinary masterpieces. They use quality and fresh ingredients, and the Chef can also deliver wonderful dishes. All amounts to an extraordinary dining experience.

Its menu…read moreconitems a great variety of Thai, Japanese, and Chinese food items; and the outside ststructure of the building and restaurant's sign is somewhat impressive. So one early evening I was in the area and decided to go in to try it out. After all, with all these positive traits I thought, it has to be good. When I arrived, the decor of the place was reasonably nice for the number of years the restaurant had been opened. It had mostly tables and chairs with no booths. The decor was simple but in good taste.The dark tone colors of the painted walls and ceiling gave it a solid look. The use of light was also well done, especially the pink lights underneath the Sushi Bar. A lady who doubled as a host and server greeted me at the host station near the entrance of the restaurant and guided me to my table. For a Friday evening, the restaurant was not to full but it had several customers eating at different tables, as well as some take out and delivery orders. I was handed the menu which was just color copies of pages from what once had been a cardboard menu, all put together. Even though the quality of the menu itself was kind of cheap, the content had many items from Thai, Japanese, and Chinese cuisines. So I still had high hopes that the food would be good. I ordered Sweet Ice Tea to drink. Fried Calamari as apappetizer, and as my main entrée, from the Thai Entrees, the Cashew Nuts with Pork. When the Fried Calamari came out, the batter was extremely hard as a rock and the Calamari were so tough that I couldn't break them apart with my teeth and swallow them. I had to spit them out back on the plate. Needless to say, this was the first restaurant that I had to call the server and ask her to take them back. I hope management reads my review and checks this. It was either the quality of the Calamari was bad or that they were not fresh. My main entrée was fine, as well as my Fried Ice Cream dessert. For this reason I did not give them a lower score , even though this incident greatly affected the quality of my dining experience there. Maybe this was a one time thing, that happened to my appetizer, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I would say go try them out, and then you judge for yourself.
