“Our family has been going here for YEARS. We love this place! Never been let down one time. Great food. Great service. Great people!Anytime we have family members come from Indy, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, you name it, they always love this place and always ask for it when they come (driving, flying - who wants to go out to eat anyways after traveling all day on the first day they come or dirty up the kitchen after cleaning up all day? Lol). They tell us all the time too all the Chinese takeouts around them where they’re at just suck, can’t compare, are disappointing, never taste that great, or they just have a bad experience and don’t go back. Not China Wok:)!!! Lol, it’s the best Chinese takeout food in Roanoke!!!!❤️☺️“
“I've tried every Chinese in Roanoke. This one is by far the best in the area. Just about Everything's on point, and they don't use the same base sauce for everything and call it a different name. Only thing slightly lacking are the eggs rolls. Amazing crisp, but the content inside of them are all veges. Still 9.9/10. I drive 25 minutes one way just to pick up from here. ? Bravo!“
“We didn't realize it was a buffet until the host greeted us and told us only soups and salads were already out (it was 3:55, serving began at 4pm). I do like a good buffet, my wife, not so much. But we had driven from NC and missed lunch, so we were hungry, and the place was immaculate, and the host was very gracious. I will not bore you with a blow-by-blow. From the jumbo steamed shrimp, my wife's fresh green salad and delicious dressing to the coconut creme pie, everything we put in our mouths from the overwhelming selection was #1. Everything! Our server was polite, attentive, and gracious. We are thinking about making a day trip back to Roanoke for dinner at the Red Palace. Oh, and the icing on the cake: our bill for 2 was $34.33, tax included.“
“Listen everyone. China Star is by far the most amazing Chinese restaurant in Roanoke. I've tried everywhere basically. Food is always spot on. There is never a mishap and if there is the owner corrects it immediately. She is the nicest and sweetest person in business. She will learn you face and voice! Again the food is beyond excellent. Always hot and fresh. The best thing is she has her prices very reasonable. Family of 6 can eat for 30 bucks and have leftovers!!!!! I don't need to put pictures because it won't do the food justice!“
“Always a last minute go to, carry out only being 10-15mins almost every time. I recommend the shrimp lo mein and spring rolls personally but my family enjoys their soups and chicken/broccoli dishes as well. Their white rice is always the fluffiest stickiest most divine thing in this earth. That being said, sometimes they do have issues with stocking both supplies and ingredients. I believe covid hit them hard, we still ordered but rarely did we see people do the same. We hope to see them make a full recovery to their former glory as the best Chinese this side of Roanoke.“
“I came about 20 minutes before close to get take to feed a family of five. They were kind and very patient. Prepared everything in about 15 minutes. We were given drinks while we waited and were given more than enough sauces with our order. Great customer service and the order was fresh and delicious.“
“Cafe Asia 2: where the sushi is on a roll, and so are you on their slippery floors! ?? Embrace the challenge of a sushi slide with every step. It's like a taste bud tango followed by a dance-off with gravity. Sushi rating: A+. Floor grip: Not so much. ?“
“Very good food. I dined inside alone once, and I dined in with a couple friends one time. The Roanoke Chicken is excellent, and the Tangerine Chicken is the best Chicken dish I have had in a long time. Service is hit or miss from my experiences but they are friendly and lovely for the most part.“
“Island jerk was closed but locked my keys in my truck so walked to here while i waited. Interesting dynamic communicating with them, make sure to read the paper menu and disregard the wall menu. Be clear when you order. They were extremely nice to me but witnessed another customer experience was kinda bad but in all fairness i think a lot of rough people wander in. Foods good, place is lil hole in the wall and run down. Sesame chicken was great.“
“This is our goto take out restaurant. We order the same three things several times per month. We usually order pick up, but I had to post a review tonight about just how quick their delivery was. We ordered at 8pm, we were eating by 8:20pm. Amazing.They’re always very friendly when I go to pick up our order.“The eggplant is the stuff my dreams are made of.” - My wife“
“This place was a childhood to me! This place is a very good place to dine out or in with your family! Love this place, and I highly recommend dining here with your family!Parking: Sometimes the parking lot can be a little full at times but there is plenty of parking, depending at what time you're eating.Kid-friendliness: As a kid, I loved going here! Very friendly people, and I always loved going to eat dinner here with my family!“
