City Corner 2 — Restaurant in Roanoke

City Corner 2, with a very strange name, has delicious Thai food. We are very lucky to be able to find this in Roanoke. They are consistent and they offer a great selection of Thai items.

Also, unlike so many other Asian restaurants in Roanoke, they offer just one type of food (THAI!). We've found the other restaurants in the area offer bland mixes of Japanese + Chinese + Thai + . That rarely means it's an authentic or good experience with real flavors. We've found the multi-type of food places to be very, very bland and over-MSG'd.

However, that is absolutely not the case with City Corner 2. Their food is light, delightful and very much in line with the best of American Thai food all over. We would put City Corner 2 up against other Thai restaurants across the country (and we have tried them coast to coast).

We had thai iced tea and it was great - not too sweet and with the perfect amount of tea. The drunken noodles were also delightful and had a lovely kick to them that would catch you a bit off guard. Loved them. The pad thai was everything you expect in a pad thai - it had a nice edge to it as well and the vegetables (bean sprouts, carrots) on top were crunchy as they should be.

Overall, this is a great place and will be going on a...

An enjoyable and quaint place to eat if you like authentic food and a cozy atmosphere. Our food has always been good when we came and it comes out fast. It is small, so if their busy you may have difficulty finding a spot if you have a group, but otherwise we've always had a seat. (3 people) There are multiple choices on the menu for drinks and food so you shouldn't have an issue finding something. They have a cart int the front of the restaurant where you can get your sauces, extra napkins, chopsticks, etc, so keep that in mind if it's your first time going. Top recommendation is the hot pot, Fried Taro, or Thai tea. The one downside would be that occasionally the hours are not what is advertised. We have gone at times and the place is closed when it was supposed to be open. There was typically a notification as to why however.

Wife and I tried this hidden gem today for the first time... I can't believe this place has been there 16 years and this is my first time trying. Small little place with a cozy atmosphere... Friendly staff and fantastic food. Wife had the boiled dumplings... So good! The little pieces of crispy fried garlic on top brought a smile to our faces. I had the chicken satay.. Honestly the chicken was a little bland but cooked perfect and the peanut and cucumber dipping sauces made up for it. For entrees my wife had the cashew chicken and I had the masaman curry chicken. Both were VERY good! Spice level was right were we liked it.. Just enogh to make your nose run...lol. Portion size of the entrees were well worth the only $10 per. We both had water that was served with a lime wedge... Nice touch... And a nice Thai beer called Singha... Went perfect with the meal. We will definitely be back to work our way through the broad menu of...
