    Chicken with some fantastic marinated cabbage.
    Adam B.

    This non-descript restaurant doesn't look fancy - it's set up with 8 tables, cheap seats, and old furnishings, but what it lacks in ambiance it totally makes up for in FLAVOR! Our friend from China is attending Virginia Tech, and she was excited to share this place because of its authenticity. We discovered that the printed English menu is different from the Chinese menu hand-written on the white boards. Our friend even ordered a traditional Chinese cabbage and pork dish that wasn't on the menu, but the owner/cook was happy to make it for us. You could tell that this place was a "home away from home" for the many Chinese students that attend VT. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place!

    Lowkey a great Chinese restaurant in terms of Blacksburg area. Workers are kind and it's at an optimal location in downtown right next to campus. One of my international Chinese friends took me to this restaurant and showed me the special Chinese menu on the side and let me tell you, it's great. My goto order is usually salt black pepper pork or chicken (small) usually good enough to serve myself and it's quite a large portion for one person. Definitely filling. I also really enjoy the general tso's over rice (small). I don't normally eat general tso but it's one of the best I've had just due to the huge pieces of chicken.

    Mouse droppings and dead moth in the food! I take it back to the carry out and they say it's just black pepper? WTF..mind blowing!

    One of the worst takeout establishments ever!!! This place poses a health hazard to all. I ordered the kung pao chicken and beef and broccoli. To my surprise, I find mouse droppings and a dead moth in the food. I called and informed them of my findings. With no apologies, the female employee just yelled "No refund." and hung up. I went back to the establishment to show them the mouse droppings and the dead bug. The crazy lady then snatched the food out of my hand and starts yelling at me in broken English ranting "You poo poo!" Then the psycho employee starts cursing me out in Chinese. I asked for the manager's telephone number and she says she doesn't know it and continues to yell at me in Chinese. If you value your health, DO NOT EAT HERE...EVER!! I will be reporting this landfill to the health department!

    A great find on our road trip from NY to NOLA. Vegan-friendly, with the menu clearly noting…read moreveg-friendly dishes. We stopped in Blacksburg for an overnight stay and I was desperate for something to eat that wasn't from a bag at that point of the evening. If you know me, you know I'm always in the mood for Chinese food and if it's Sichuan, I'm at absurd levels of contentment. Spicity is a swell little spot in a strip mall and has plenty of seating. With it being right after New Years and at the end of winter break, it was very quiet and blissfully empty (I'd had enough of holiday crowds), as was literally every other restaurant we passed in town. It's spacious, has plenty of seating and has a pleasant atmosphere, if a little bright for my liking. Not that I cared because dry pot is on the menu! I started with a tofu ribbon app that is absolutely delicious (not spicy to me, but I think it had a little chili oil). And the cabbage hot pot, which I ordered extra spicy and they delivered! The bits of tofu skin made it even better. While I wasn't a huge fan of it being overwhelmed by bell peppers, I feel like it's one of those things I'd be able to adjust if I came back (perhaps next year?) They get major bonus points for being open late, too. Looks like delivery is until 9 but the restaurant is open til 11 on Fri/Sat, 10 on Sundays and 10:30 all other nights. Driving through so many small college towns, I'm seeing so many places that are only open until 8:30 or 9.

    I got edamame (4/5) and dry pot frog (4.5/5). There was a lot of edamame for only being $4! It was…read moregood, but some of the prices were a little caked in salt. The dry pot frog was great; the frog had a nice and crispy crust, and it was not too spicy! The service was good (4/5); our waited was friendly! The interior of the restaurant is nice and clean (4/5)!

    Was looking for a quick and healthy option on Blacksburg, and this place did not disappoint…read more Location: hard to find - it's in the 2nd floor of the Gilbert place building. Get to the 2nd floor parking lot by turning up the ramp from Turner St. then just walk in. No access from inside Gilbert place academic building - must enter from outside. Food: healthy options with some sauces that kick (if you want). I got the lion meatballs bowl with knife cut noodles - yum! Like the simplicity, healthy options, and that it's very easy to take to-go

    This is a fast casual place, one native to NYC but apparently the founders have Virginia Tech ties…read moreand so have expanded here. It was in the offing seemingly forever and they're still working the kinks out, with some of the noodles being unavailable when I checked, as well as their tea. By and large, I have not seen Asian cuisines in the fast casual world; Chipotle tried to get a spinoff called Shophouse going but it never really took off. The poke bowl places are the only ones I can think of that have really succeeded in this niche. Junzi promises some legitimately Chinese flavors, and it did deliver. The knife cut springy wheat noodles were thankfully back in stock when I decided to order, and they have a delightful texture. To fill out a bowl, a few vegetable options are available, and two different types of tofu are among the proteins. I found the griddled tofu mouthwatering and it did have a nicely crisped edge. The suite of other options was not huge but did include some nice things like Mandarin oranges and bok choy. I got a salad and a noodle bowl, and having skipped breakfast, was able to scarf down both bowls. The salad doesn't make a meal by itself is what I'm saying. I see some room for improvement in the menu, but when I've looked for literally anything Chinese and vegetarian-friendly in Southwest Virginia, I have not found much worth my time. The sauces and ingredients here delivered the taste I was hoping for.
