I'm only reviewing the food as my order was take out. My fiance and I ordered the tom yum noodles with chicken and the wonton soup. The tom yum soup wasn't bad however, the broth was too sweet. There was also a tiny amount of chicken included in the portion. Now for the wonton soup, the broth was delicious, but the wontons were cooked to absolute death. So overcooked that they disintegrated into a gelatinous pool whenever put into my mouth, pretty much making the dumplings inedible. This place continues to remind me why I choose literally any other option in Roanoke over them, especially at the price point.

Not quality Thai… ugh … Pad Thai and KaPow both were overly Sweet… like syrup with no flavor. Was starving and couldn’t even eat it. I’ve traveled all over Asia many times and do not expect authentic Asian food but this was no resemblance to Pad Thai or Thai cuisine.

I have visited for dine-in many times when I lived in Roanoke several year ago. It has went downhill from previous experiences. When we arrived we were seated immediately with no wait, and I quickly learned why.
Soda was $3.50 for a small bottle with no refills. Not sure why they don't have a fountain machine for a place that has been well established. I opted for the tea that was like pure sugar and had to get some unsweet to balance it out.
We ordered the cream cheese crab rangoons. They were a decent size and we got five for $9.95. They don't serve with the traditional sweet and sour sauce but they likely the only decent part of the meal.
We ordered the California roll for appetizer. The avocado was brown. So either it was made in advance and turned or they knowingly put brown avocado in the sushi. It really had Kroger sushi vibes and not that of a freshly made sushi bar.
We dined in on a Saturday dinner. The menu has egg drop and hot and sour soup listed, but Christine our server said they only make the miso soup on the weekend.
For the main course we ordered General Tso's chicken and orange chicken. The chicken was frozen and clearly not battered there. It was the consistency of the frozen chicken that has more batter than chicken and for sure a Sysco foods special. The orange sauce was very bland and only had subtle hints of citrus. For sure out of a jar and not something made in house. Our server mentioned that it was fried earlier in the day and then heated before being served. The outside was only lukewarm, but the chicken inside was cold. There were three pieces of what seemed like boiled broccoli that were basically raw, but perhaps dipped in something hot before being plated.
We ordered fried rice. We got white rice for one and a dirty brown rice for the other and were told that was what they had left available. The brown rice was just that a dirty brown rice, and nothing like a traditional fried rice.
The dinner portions did not come with a soup or salad option, and we were told that was only available during lunch. $18.00 for some frozen chicken seemed steep to me, but we were committed at that point.
Our server came around and inquired as to how the meal was hoping for a positive response. I flat out told her to be quite honest it absolutely sucked. Christine explained that they had some help in the kitchen that recently came to America and may not quite know the recipes yet. We inquired on the chicken and she said that yes they bread it there in the kitchen with 'the stuff' and then deep fry it. The more questions we asked the less English she spoke and it dwindled down to a big smile and 'uh huh' for the replies.
Oddly enough she pointed to a woman wearing a tight pink dress stating that she was the owner and was in the back cooking that night. It was clear that she was more concerned about visiting with a table in the corner than focusing on the food. So much so that she went to the bar and grabbed a round of shots for everyone including herself. It became clear that her priority was socializing and not providing a dinner service for those outside of the party table. I'm pretty sure that violates her ABC license.

Great menu with choices for everyone. I ordered the Honey Pecan Shrimp, it was fabulous. My wife has the Tofu Pad Thai, also fabulous.
Visiting Roanoke for the weekend and tried them out. The staff were extremely friendly. The food was fantastic and the portions were enormous. The restaurant was well kept and very clean. If we lived in Roanoke, TOA would be a regular stop for lunch and dinner.

Vast menu of Asian food options from Thai to sushi to Chinese. Quiet interior area with plenty of seating and relatively prompt service. Heavy sauce on the Pad Thai and a weaker sauce for the satay chicken but overall a solid lunch and dinner place serving generous portions in Roanoke.

We decided to dine in for the first time a few days ago, our waiter was so amazing. He made sure our family had everything we needed and he brought chopstick helpers for my kids.
We bought Sushi and our son can be a picky eater we ordered a lot of food and one of the rolls was forgotten about, not only did they apologize they boxed it up fresh for my son as we were leaving.
The dragon roll I have to say for the kids was a major win, mainly because the sushi chiefs made it look like an actual dragon it's also been one of our favorites.
