"So I went with family and friends to zirree thai and sushi. with a 4.5 star rating it looked like a promising midday place. when we arrived, we were sitting in one. however, the cabins are somehow narrow, so we decided instead for a table. two tables were joined together for us and it worked much better. our waitress came to the table and brought us menus. she was warm, but not very friendly. literal, two minutes after we had set ourselves and had been given our menu, she came back to our table to take our orders. it felt very hurried. none of us really had a chance to get through the menu. we ordered a few drinks and wanted a few more minutes. a few minutes later the waitress returned and we ordered. she came back with our drinks. I and another person had ordered a dietary coke and we were both brought. that's a pet of mine. some restaurants bring them a dose diet coke so they don't have to give them any refills. so if they want more, they will be calculated for each dose. it goes back to the days where restaurants would charge them for each refill of limo. I'm not sure why some places like zire still play this game, but it seems kind of cheap. finally, our food came out. I had ordered the pad thai with seafood. the pad thai was delicious, but I sure had so good or better place on others. I also thought the part was small. again it was good, but nothing very special. an additional thing we had is that the restaurant was loud. I don't know what it was, but it was very hard to hear the other person sitting right over the table. I don't know if it's just the acoustics, but they should think about doing something to damp. Finally, our waitress, after the food was served, never came back to ask how everything was, whether we needed more drinks or anything else. only when we were all finished and ready to ask for the bill, she asked how everything was. at this point it was no longer important. I noticed that the waiter has made several trips to several other tables, but somehow our were not included. overall the pad thai was good and would rate 3.5-4 stars. due to the noise and subpar service, I can give zire thai and sushi only a 3 star overall rating. it will probably take a long time to return."

"Roanoke's Thai food scene has thankfully grown in the past 10 years. I remember coming to the city in 2011 with only one option, and it was horrible. Of the current options today, Oriental House is the first one I tried because it was the only one I saw during my research with a vegetarian menu. I had the pad thai, and it wasn't bad. It was more orange than normal but it tasted fine enough for me to order delivery from here in the future. My sister's pra ram jae tofu was also really good, so I was sold. However, when we ordered it for delivery, it didn't taste the same. The pad thai was also not that great the second time around. However, I did try the drunken noodles, and it was good so I kept ordering it. Unfortunately the last time I ordered it, I received barely seasoned noodles (see attached photo where I have separated the noodles from the vegetables). I can forgive them for using different noodles than the ones traditionally used for drunken noodles, but I can't forgive them for this. I have also tried other Thai restaurants in the area that have better food, and for that reason, I have demoted Oriental House to #3 on my list of best Thai Restaurants in Roanoke. It remains on the list because it is still a vegan-friendly option. My meat-eating mom also thinks their fried rice remains undefeated. It also remains a nice place to go downtown-my cousin walked in and used their bathroom once-maybe just don't order delivery from here. It was so empty when we went for Saturday lunch though."
