“My family has always loved this restaurant. Salem Szechuan has been consistent over the years. recommend: hot and sour soup 👌 chicken with garlic sauce 😋“

“Best Chinese food in the area! Friendly and clean.“

“As a long-time Roanoke resident and local Realtor, I stopped by this small Chinese spot after a busy day to grab my favorite takeout — Mei Fun with two egg rolls and a Sprite. It has all the charm you’d expect from a cozy, “mom-and-pop,” hole-in-the-wall restaurant — but what really stood out was the respectful service and reasonable wait for fresh, hot food. While the flavor was decent, the staff’s attention to detail made the experience memorable. They even double-checked my order, adding chopsticks and napkins without me having to ask — a simple touch that shows they care about quality. If you’re in the Roanoke area and craving a quick, no-fuss takeout spot with friendly service, this little gem is worth a visit!“

“Thank you for such a great lunch! The service was efficient, helpful, and kind. Our food was better than we expected and the portions are generous. The fried rice is perfect, the Szechuan beef was just the right level of heat, and the orange chicken was exactly what my son was craving. The quality and flavor was so good and it was just under $20 for lunch for 2 people.
The restaurant looks so unassuming from outside, but that’s where they hide the magic. Their lunch specials can’t be beat.“

“Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum“

“My husband and I eat here at least once per week for several years and are never disappointed. Consistently the best Chinese anywhere. The hostesses, servers/wait staff, and just everyone are polite, friendly, efficient.“

“I went there specifically for my favorite dishes: bone in Chinese Spareribs and House Lomein. I have been looking for a Chinese to go spot with the actual traditional ribs with the sauce and not the boneless rib tips. I finally found it there, because it seemed unavailable from anywhere in Radford, Christiansburg or Blacksburg , where I'm local to. I just happened to be in Roanoke today cause I'm picking up family from the airport, and was craving it. It was about a 30 min wait for me after I ordered because it was already crowded and had a long line of people waiting for their orders. But once I received it, I felt I got my money worth and more because it was what I remembered in taste, texture, saucey. Not too salty or too sweet and good portions for the portions I ordered. Thanks. I will definitely order again.“

“Beef Nigimaki and Orange peel Shrimp were excellent and so was the service. Thanks Shirley“

“Best Chinese around I have ate at a lot of different restaurants this is the best. Everything on bars is fresh it has craw fish, crab legs .seven bars. Oh my I got to go again.“

“Hadn't had China Lite in years, but had a craving for Chinese food on my lunch break so I ordered it and everything was so fresh and delicious. China Lite is one of the only places that doesn’t put egg in their fried rice. The sweet and sour chicken was fresh and delicious.“

“we absolutely love Taste of Asia. we eat there often. any time someone comes into town and doesn't know what they want, we go here. Evelyn is so amazing and really works hard to make the place what it is. She will happily go work in the kitchen or clean tables and that is the kind of owner every business needs. some times are slower than others but the food never disappoints. the Evelyn roll is absolutely amazing and I obsess over the Drunken Noodles.“

“Takeout place, so you dont go here for atmosphere, but the food is hot, fast, and fresh, AND a little less expensive than other similar places. Just shows sometimes you get better than what you paid. It's uncommon, but these guys are good!“

“Great place to eat a buffet of Chinese and it's very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend anyone to eat here and you will not be disappointed I've eaten here several times and I'll come back very soon it's definitely worth the 45 min to hour drive. 😋😊👍

Parking: Just regular park yourself and walk-in“

“Always Wonderful“

“If you're looking for great Chinese fast food, this is the place! Reasonable prices and an extensive menu. They use the real gas-fired Woks, too. Sit-down restaurant ambience is clean, but not inviting. Call in your order and pick it up to take home. A little salty, but yummy...and it won't break the bank.“

“Wonderful hot soup, egg rolls and vegetables. Best value in Roanoke“

“Golden Wok has really great food. I've ordered here through Grubhub and Doordash quite often in the past year and it's always a good experience. The food always arrives quickly and it's always fresh and tastes good. Plus you can't beat the price.“
