My boyfriend and I came on Valentine's Day for our dinner. Hefun is one of our favorite date spots! The restaurant was clearly a bit underprepared for the occasion, but the hosts and servers were friendly and apologetic about the wait (which wasn't bad anyways). They were very clearly busting a move to get everyone seated and taken care of. The ambience was nice and on-theme. Our server ( we WISH we remembered his name but he was amazing ) went above and beyond despite being swamped. Our table was never left abandoned and food came out in good timing. The food itself was amazing as always. My boyfriend loved his sushi, and I loved my beef hibachi plate. We got edamame and takoyaki as appetizers as well as two desserts (mango mountain and thai volcano tea). Will for sure be back and very glad we made the choice to come for Vday. read more

Best sushi in Blacksburg. The fish is always super fresh and the avocado is ripe to perfection each time. I gave my compliments to the chef and she told me that they take quality especially seriously, particularly in their avocados. The service can be a little slow at points, and my beer arrived at the same time as our food, but honestly, the food is so good that I don't mind. They also have a warehouse in the back that they use for parties on weekends sometimes. Lots of great drink options, both alcoholic and NA. If you go here, I recommend the sushi (obviously), but definitely pick something with avocado and raw fish to get the best experience. I haven't tried any of the deep fried rolls, so I can't speak to that, but all of the raw stuff I have had has been delicious. The hibachi is also outstanding, as is the ramen. Very reasonably priced for the portions and the quality and they have great lunch deals on weekdays. read more

I was excited to finally have ramen in Blacksburg but I was disappointed in the flavor of the broth - it wasn't bad but not craveable. I would not return for the ramen but I would be willing to try other items on the menu like their hibachi. The servers were nice and attentive. read more

Amazing food. Easily the best food I've had in all of Blacksburg. I've always driven past it but tonight I finally tried it. I got the Hefun ramen and my boyfriend got the yakisoba, absolutely no complaints. I finished my bowl and practically licked his plate. Our server was Nick, he was amazing, very knowledgeable about the menu. Finally, the place has a cool interior, it feels like authentic Asian cuisine with the liveliness of a college-town bar. Hefun is my new #1 favorite restaurant in Blacksburg and it's by a lot. 10/10 recommend!! read more

Hefun - Yakisoba and Hefun Tonkotsu Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

California native here visiting. I would definitely come back for some of the dishes. My favorites in order: Gyudon - flavor, texture, egg, and meat were all cooked to perfection Spicy beef noodle ramen - the beef was a bit dry but I think the overall dish flavor and noodles were great Eel roll - rice was a little harder than I prefer and just a standard small roll Mango milk tea - I liked it a lot but I wish the ice wasn't crushed. I would have preferred ice cubes or no ice at all. Boba texture was a okay, a little on the harder side. The service was good. Server didn't seem to like her job so was very not happy or energetic. read more

Stopped here in route to New England, adorable little town - home of VT. Delicious Japanese croquettes, salad and sushi rolls , sake and boba tea were all excellent. It's a bit off hwy 81 but totally worth it read more

Came here on a Saturday evening, and it was pretty full. Despite that, my experience was really good! Everything from the food, service, and atmosphere were all phenomenal and I would definitely come back. I ordered the chicken rice bowl (I forgot the actual name), which was a ton of food and super tasty. Not to mention, the pricing for the food is very fair and I felt like I got great value for what I paid for. Blacksburg may not have the best Asian food in the country, but Hefun does a great job! read more

Went a couple weeks ago and had a wonderful experience! We were promptly seated and given a pitcher of water for the table which was very nice. Even though we had our own pitcher, the server and host readily refilled our cups. The restaurant was a very cozy space to eat and chat. My partner and I split the Ika Karrage which was delicious. It came out quickly with some yummy dipping sauce. For dinner, I got Yakiudon while my partner got the Gyudon. The portions were great and the food was so good! It was a little more expensive for us (although we are college-aged kids), it was such a lovely treat that we would most definitely be coming back to try some more! read more

Come on down! The first thing I noticed about Hefun (pronounced: HE-foon) was the outside, I loved the way it looked and the bright colors. Inside, the theme continues, and you notice how good the vibes are, and how bright and vibrant the space is. The service is fast and reliable, servers may be your friends from class, or your own family, this is Blacksburg! The dishes here are phenomenal, I ordered a lot of dishes, and I encourage you to do the same. It was my first time trying the sweet potato rolls, with my partner, and it was such a magical moment. The nice thing about Hefun is that it is right off of Squires, so it's super quick and easy to visit, give it a try next time your visiting VT! read more

Came here for opening week, and was pretty disappointed in their overall food. Came back the next month and was still the same. Decent seating time and turnaround for food was really fast. Food: Tonkotsu ramen was ok. The pork wasn't melting in my mouth and the broth had medium richness. Noodles weren't as firm as I would want in a ramen. The karaage was about the size of Chick Fil A chicken nuggets and was not as tasty as I would have hoped. Do NOT get their bubble tea. I got their regular milk tea and it was completely flavorless. Tasted like colored water with bubbles. Service: Very friendly and very willing to answer questions. Ambiance: Decent number of seats and no hard time finding seating for a larger party. Extra: Decently priced for the amount of food that you get, not the quality. read more

On point !! Every-time ! Good service !! Good people , good food , the curry Fried chicken is fire !! The vibe is chill and comfortable, outside seating street side makes for interesting views on a Thursday and Friday night. The drinks are works of art and a little bit of fun ... hey it's just my view come try it for yourself!! read more

Haughty waitress, tasteless food, no consideration for allergens. It turns out that their broth, which is used in many of their dishes, has sesame in it, and no change can be made to it. So, they have one basic brew and different ingredients get thrown into it. I have recently traveled to the UK, where every restaurant that I visited could deal with allergens. The decor is pretty, it is true, especially the inside. read more

Great ramen and great hibachi, good price great service very nice staff and very calming vibes. I'm gonna earn the title as regular customer. read more

The waitress was truly the best waitress we have experienced in ages. She was attentive, good listener, made recommendations, and simply took her time with every table she served. The meal was delicious, very hot, and served fairly fast for a busy Saturday night. The portions were generous, enough for left overs if we weren't staying at a hotel. Everything was served as described on the menu. The decor, serving plates, and arrangements were authentic to an updated Japanese restaurant. They have outdoor seating, as well as an extensive bar, and plenty of indoor seating. The prices were the cheapest we've seen at any Japanese restaurant! We ordered 2 rolls, 2 appetizers, 3 entrees, 2 desserts, and 3 beverages for only $118!! read more

TL;DR never order delivery from them. Okay the food is pretty okay. I would honestly give it a higher rating but the service is awful. For one, when you dine in, they are slow to service even when there's only one or two other tables in the establishment. The other part, they are not accommodating when you order delivery. They service random drivers throughout Blacksburg. So even if you order through a Door Dash or Grub Hub, the delivery is not guaranteed. I have ordered delivery multiple times from them and they have NEVER been on time with it. And when I call the restaurant to inquire about my food, they said I was basically in the wrong when I said I have been waiting for over 1 hour after the promised delivery time. When I asked for help, they said in a snappy tone "what do you want us to do? The food has been made." Barely an apology was made and did not offer to compensate or anything. Just a lot of excuses. I'll still go but their service really needs a lot of work. read more

This place has amazing food; so delicious and reasonably priced. It's very hard to find a place that has Tako wasabi so I was so happy to see that on the menu! It was so good my friend and I went for drinks one night and came back the day after for food! The only thing I'd say is service could be a bit better, as we waited quite some time for some things to come out and had to ask for some items they forgot. But otherwise, a great spot! read more

Pretty decent place. Went here with a friend and as alumni in Blacksburg we were both thrilled that after 4 years of grand opening it was finally opening. Blacksburg has been severely lacking in good Asian food and this place is not too bad. The tonkatsu ramen was great but the salmon roll seemed outdated. The price wasn't that cheap and service took kinda long time. I'm not sure if I'd go here or Kuma moon but overall not too bad. read more

The curry pork at Azamimg Food was fantastic! Tender meat, rich spices, and perfect balance of flavor. Highly recommended.

Best food i've ever had. I had the takoyaki, kimchi, and hibachi steak (and a milk tea boba). The restaurant was also so pretty inside!! I've never written a yelp review but this place is criminally underrated. The staff were also very nice to us. read more

Food and service were great. We had sushi rolls that were delicious and Japanese fired chicken app that was also very good.

I'm so glad Hefun finally opened and I am happy to report that I had an amazing meal there! First of all the restaurant is really cool inside. Whoever is responsible for the decor did a great job. I am amazed at all of the little extra touches the owners included to make this restaurant special. Some of the really cool things are: interesting napkin holders on the table, nice soy sauce containers and spoon rests, the REALLY nice wooden spoons/ladles for ramen broth (where can I get some of these for my own house?) , and even the to-go food containers. All of these things are much nicer than you usually see at a typical restaurant. All of the these extra little touches make Hefun feel very inviting and special. My food was amazing, especially the ramen. It was so good that i ordered a few more items in the middle of my meal so I could have them for lunch the next day. My server told me that the restaurant brought their chefs from China and Japan. I was really impressed with the quality of the ingredients and how fresh and tasty my food was. Hefun definitely does not cut any corners in bringing diners an excellent experience. I went during Hefun's soft opening and everything was still excellent. They had been slammed the night before and said they are still working out some kinks, so please be patient during their soft opening. The service was really friendly and efficient and everyone who works there is so nice. All of the staff were genuinely glad to see me and grateful that I was a customer. Hefun is a great addition to downtown Bburg and I hope everyone will support it. Not sure how the prices here compare to similar restaurants, but the quality of the ingredients and my dining experience were well worth the price I paid. I think it is really important that we support quality restaurants like this. The owners took a real chance opening this place and making it so nice. I hope everyone who finds this review helpful will support Hefun so it is there to enjoy for years to come. I live over 2 hours away and only visit Blacksburg a few times a month, so I am definitely not being compensated in any way for this review. The only benefit I get is that Hefun is hopefully still there and thriving the next time I am in town! read more

We had a wonderful experience at Hefun! We went during their soft opening. The ramen was good, a little pricey ($14.99 per bowl) but the bowls are HUGE. We all enjoyed our ramen, but ended up adding in the spices on the table and a little soy sauce. It was very tasty! My husband got the chicken rice bowl, which was also plenty of food for one. The star of the show at Hefun has to be the sushi. Getting a roll is a MUST. Again, a little pricy (crispy roll was $13.99) but it was an experience and was presented so beautifully. Definitely will be returning! Only a star off because we felt the ramen could have used a tiny bit more umph, the prices being a little high, and the service was a little slow. But, once we were able to order our food came out in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend visiting! read more

About the worst ramen that I have ever had including that which cost $12.00 for a dozen. Broth was thin, tasteless and not hot ( heat your bowls in hot water). Egg was overcooked and not properly marinated. Tasteless. Noodles were overcooked and mushy. Over then that, I guess it's ok. read more
