I will never order from here again. I ordered pad Thai, green curry and the summer rolls. First, I can't speak about the flavor of the green curry at all. I, personally, like a little spice in my food. I can tolerate pretty spicy things (think Serrano to habanero range spice). I ordered the green curry in the "medium" spice range thinking that would give me the spice I like, without being overwhelming (it was level 2 of 5 to choose from). But omg, it was inedible it was so spicy. Like, nauseatingly spicy. I couldn't eat more than a bite or two. If that was medium spicy, then I can't even imagine what the other spice levels would be. Or even the "mild" spice for that matter. The next was the pad Thai. It was just bad. There was an extremely odd taste to it. Maybe like it tasted old or like the noodles were burnt? I dony know what it was, but it wasn't good, and It even smelled bad. I thought it was just my palate being blown out by the spicy green curry, but even my husband ( who hadn't tried the curry) spit out the pad Thai. Worse than all of that was how rude the owner was (or whoever I talked to on the phone) I ordered through door dash, but wanted to resolve with the restaurant itself. She spent 5 minutes arguing with me, telling me that the pad Thai was "one of her best ones ever" and it was probably just me not being used to the "fish sauce" that they use in the sauce. There was no point in any other discussion with her.... So we were out lot money (this place is not cheap) and couldn't even eat the food, except for the summer roll (which was fine, but hardly a meal for 2 adults). It was all extra frustrating because we're home with a newborn and we were starving when we ordered. We ended up eating protein bars for dinner that night. I will never recommend this place to anyone, nor will I ever order from them ever again...

No stars I went to eat alone they ignored me and wouldn't even seat me. Very rude! I can't say anything about the food because they didn't offer me anything.

Taste of Asia is the bomb. Everything from the chicken to the noodles to the sushi is absolutely spot on. The people are great, my last visit my server suggested we take a photo together....every customer is a member of their restaurant family. They want to know you personally. Best Asian food in Roanoke hands down...

Had an excellent late lunch today! Whenever I try a new Thai place, I always try their Chicken Satay & Tom Yum soup. They blew me away!! The satay came with the best peanut sauce I’ve ever had at a Thai place! The service was speedy and wonderful. Will definitely be returning :)

Omg! So tasty! The food was extremely delicious and I’m vegetarian and I just asked for fried rice and veggies and they just did it for me. The portion is amazing I had lunch there, leftovers for dinner that night and even more leftovers for the next day. The place is really pretty inside and the staff is so welcoming. Highlyyyyyy recommend the place (oh also my friends had sushi and dumplings and they enjoyed it very much so ?)

This is definitely our new favorite Asian spot in Roanoke. They have a lot of traditional entrees that some of the other Asian restaurants here seem to lack. Every Spring I am hit with allergies bad. The only thing that seems to remedy it is a traditional Chinese Wonton Mein Soup. I called 11 Asian restaurants Roanoke and surrounding and none of them had wonton noodle soup! This is the one restaurant that not only had it they improved it by using vermicelli noodles and adding shrimp broccoli carrots chicken breast etc. Oh my this is the best Noodle soup I have had since RVA! Thank you Taste of Asia! My sinuses are now in check and lungs are clear! Blessings to you!

We have been here three different occasions and consistently this gem of a restaurant has exceeded our expectations for quality, customer service, atmosphere, cleanliness and cost. They have such a wide selection of traditional and Americanized entrees. Only thing missing is traditional handmade dim sum. One can dream right?Parking: Plenty of free parkingKid-friendliness: We have four boys under 16 and this is their favorite Asian spot!Wheelchair accessibility: I have a disability and this place has great access with compassionate customer service.
I tried the "Drunken Noodles", with the Thai spicy added. Let me tell you, it was amazing. Flavor, spice, portion, price. You can't beat it. Wish I would have taken a photo to post. Thank you for a great meal!
Food and location are decent, the place is clean and staff is friendly.Service tends to forget some small things like checking on for drinks and such.Vegetarian options: Excellent variety of options without making a big deal of it.Dietary restrictions: This could be tricky as some sauces have many components that folks wouldn't realise could be a problem for Kosher and Halal.For allergens well, sorry folks There are a lot of peanut based dishes and shellfishParking: Massive parking lot attached to shopping center. If you can't find parking; you are in the wrong spot.Kid-friendliness: While the staff may not mind youngsters, many tables are fairly close to each other and loud children could be problematic for other diners.Wheelchair accessibility: Great accsess smooth all one floor wide doors and plenty of space at many tables.

I don't normally post any negative reviews, but my takeout earlier this week was not edible. The meat in the beef and vegetables was so tough we could barely chew it. And it should have read beef and broccoli. There were no other vegetables. Very poor quality. And my shrimp and veggie rolls were nothing but dried up iceberg lettuce and dry carrots. No shrimp in 3 out of the 6. Needless to say we didn't have dinner that night. Wasted money and food in the garbage.

After hiking the Appalachian Trail all day my best friend suggested that we get some sushi from the Taste Of Asia restaurant. It was by far the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was great, the staff were friendly and the adult beverages were ice cold. Also, the men's restroom was very clean considering how much it gets used. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Asian cuisine. We will definitely be back.
