Ordered the Inferno Ramen--bold, flavorful, and the perfect balance of heat and comfort. Paired it with the Watermelon Tea loaded with mango, lychee, and strawberry boba for a sweet, refreshing twist. And dessert? Lychee and Purple Sweet Potato Mochi -- soft, chewy perfection! The vibes are authentic, the food is top-tier, and the service was superb from start to finish. Definitely a must-try if you're craving real ramen and cozy energy read more

Kuma Moon - Bubble Tea Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

This strip mall place offered a pretty convincing impression of a quality ramen bar. Busy even during the middle of the day, it had a robust menu that included a worthwhile minority of vegetarian items (not always the case with this sort of cuisine). Ordering a veggie ramen gave me plenty of freshly cooked tofu; I note that sometimes veggie ramen is just veggie and leaves me wanting more protein but this place delivered. A robust miso flavor was good to the last drop, and the corn, mushrooms, and bamboo make for a delightful fusion experience. A creamy vegetarian option was available as well. A super fruit tea had an abundance of actual fruit and even with half sweetness had more than enough flavor. I still wished I'd gotten some jellies or boba, just because those things are delicious. I skipped dessert, but they seemed to have some good options. I would be happy to come back for food or beverage. read more

What a great place, so happy I had the chance to eat here. Small spot with limited seating and open kitchen. Crowded but we got lucky and were seated immediately. Waitress was super attentive and very helpful. Tried the tempura ramen, a pork rice bowl and chicken curry. Everything was fast, fresh and amazing. Bubble teas were great as well. Prices were on point - 5 stars across the board I will return. read more

Very nice, clean and relaxing atmosphere. The waitress was friendly and prompt. Our food was delicious and came in timely manner. Plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant. read more

How do you run out of bowls? This is a Ramen place. They gave us our Ramen in a platter dish. How do you suppose to eat you Ramen out of that? Then they forgot our Japanese sausages. This place needs a new management. read more

Quick, delicious, and friendly service. Ramen broth perfect. My tofu needed a little heat but they had it on the table. Definitely a delicious easy dinner. read more

Kuma Moon - Creamy veggie ramen - Bubble Tea Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

Was in town to check out Virginia Tech university and stopped by this little gem and it was absolutely fantastic! Since I don't eat meat, I got the potato wrapped shrimp and the vegetarian ramen and it was really good. My family got the other ramen and sausages appetizer and they said it was yummy too. It's a cute little place and the service was very good. We spoke to the students who goes to VT are the ones working there part time. Very reasonable priced too so I highly recommend this place! read more

My partner and I went here on two separate separate occasions and the service was consistent! It wasn't super crowded and both times the waiters were kind and made good recommendations! 10/10 Things tried and ratings: Chicken Kaarage: was juicy and crispy and accompanied by a tangy rich sauce 8/10 Gyoza: Crispy and thin layer of fried dough with pork and cabbage filling 10/10 Miso soup: Just good old regular miso soup 7/10 Gyudon: It came with beef, onions, pickled vegetable and an egg. The egg and pickle were okay, but the beef and onions were sweet and savory 10/10 Unadon: Eel over rice with pickled veggies. This was so good and filling! Similar sweet, but savory and tender. Also, did not find a million bones in it! 10/10 Taro Milk Tea: Not too sweet and boba was not too hard or too soft. It reminded me of the bubble tea from OPASS 8/10 It wasn't too loud either time and good food for Blacksburg! 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be back again! read more

A cute restaurant with a self-ordering kiosk, good drinks, but ok food. Long wait! We came on a rainy day for take-out late lunch. Only 2 tables dining in, yet it took 40 minutes for my small order to be ready. I saw waiters chilling (even eating lunch at the counter). No one cares! I followed up a few times to no avail. Tantan noodle was alright (in terms of food probably the best dish). The grapefruit tea was good and comes in a sturdy cup Katsu curry rice is also alright Edamame is good (nice snack to order) However--- The calamari and karaage (fried) chicken are overcooked and rubbery. Not juicy or tender. read more

I found myself in Blacksburg for a college visit and we wanted to get lunch before the tour. The menu is pretty simple, but everything they do they do very well. I was stunned to find ramen this good in little town in rural Virginia. The potato wrapped shrimp were perfectly cooked. The dipping sauce was Thai inspired. One person in my party got the veggie ramen, which, while tasty, had way too much salt in it. That's the only reason I'm giving a 4 and not a 5. I got the chicken katsu and the curry sauce was divine. If you find yourself in Blacksburg, this is a fantastic place to eat read more

Busy for a Monday night but the seating area is small. Only a handful of tables and some bar style seating. We waited about 15 minutes for 3 people around 7:30. We ordered spicy edamame which had a good kick to it, 3 bowls of ramen & 3 bubble tea. The food didn't come out in any particular order which was disappointing. We got one ramen first and then the drinks. Then we got the appetizer & the other ramens. Food came out hot. My ramen had the chicken broth which the flavor was not to appealing & definitely wasn't chicken. Usually I drink my extra broth but I left it. The egg was cooked nicely. The noodles were ok nothing out of the ordinary. I had a peach bubble tea with regular boba which was delicious. My husband had a moon bubble tea which we weren't sure on the flavor so a description on the menu would have been nice but it was good. Service is friendly. Would definitely go back. read more

What a great addition to Blacksburg! With this and Hefun, we now have a healthy selection for Japanese food. I have only had the strawberry smoothie and gyoza, but friends are raving about the rest of the food as well. The gyoza are crispy and have plenty of filling. The sweet sauce that comes on the side is also AMAZING. Strawberry smoothie is what you'd expect, but it's nice to have another bubble tea option off Price's Fork besides Sushi Factory. The cup the drinks come in is super cute and adds a bit of charm. Would definitely recommend trying this place out. Just make sure to call ahead and ask if they have tables, because they were packed when I went on a Saturday night. read more

Honestly this was the ramen place that Blacksburg so desperately needed. Its located in a nice mall strip as well with a variety of options. Food: Mayu Tonkotsu really steals the show with its black garlic tonkotsu broth. The extra black garlic adds in the flavor that enhances the regular tonkotsu. The Hakata Tonkotsu is a regular pork broth is there to be your classic tonkotsu ramen. The pork melts nicely in your mouth and the broth is rich regardless of what you order. egg was a bit too runny. Kaarage was small and reminded me of chick fil a nuggets. Moon Milk tea is ok - just an average tasting milk tea, nothing to write home about. Takoyaki seemed reminiscent of store bought takoyaki. Service: Food came out quick and the servers were polite. Ambiance: There is indoor tables and bar seating as well. Extra: Pricing is average for the food you get. read more

Made the 1 hr trip here from Marion VA and it was WORTH IT. Probs one of the most rare authentic Asian places in SW VA. The inferno ramen was delicious and we loved the appetizers as well. Especially the chicken kaarage and Takoyaki. They also have delicious boba here. Service was super fast as well. They were so busy even on a tues evening. Highly recommend checking it out. read more

Food was quick and good once we ordered. Ramen bowls were less spicy than normal but had a good mild flavor. Was solid food but nothing special. Service was slower than expected. Had to ask to order, ask for water and ask for the check. Don't know if they are just that laid back or just ignoring us. read more

Great addition to Blacksburg. I'm really sad that Marco & Luca is gone, but I think that Blacksburg needed a bit more variety in terms of Asian options. I didn't expect such great flavor and ambiance from this restaurant, but I'm so glad we decided to check it out. I think that the ramen is reasonably priced, and the staff was attentive and checked on us often. There is plenty of outdoor seating as well which we appreciated. We had a coffee milk tea with 0% sugar with no tapioca pearls, and it was still perfectly sweetened without the added sugar. The Inferno ramen was sooo good - it was spicy enough and still really enjoyable. I will definitely be back the next time I am visiting! read more

I finally came back for a dine-in experience with my family. Service was friendly and prompt, we were able to get a table pretty quickly on a Tuesday evening just before the dinner rush of students from around Virginia Tech. When the dinner rush came it was definitely busy and a little louder but they seemed to be keep up with both dine-in and takeout. We ordered the Shrimp Tempura and Steamed Vegetable Gyoza. Food came out fresh and hot. the tempura batter was nice and crunchy, the gyoza had a lot of flavor even before dipping into the sauce. I think next time I'd like to try the fried version of gyoza rather than steamed. All together we ordered 2 "Hakata" Tonkotsu ramen and a Chicken Katsu plate. Everything was cooked well and all joined the clean plate club. The broth for the tonkotsu is very creamy and rich, the chashu is well cooked although the cut itself was pretty fatty. We were too full to order dessert. I did order a Pork Katsu to-go for my husband who didn't join us and that was also finished fairly quickly. Definitely recommend and will be back as there just isn't many milk tea or ramen options in Southwest Virginia and the food here has yet to disappoint. read more

Came by for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty empty. Was seated very quickly and all of the servers were really kind. I got the tonkotsu ramen, which wasn't the best ramen I've ever had but the service was very quick and efficient. Blacksburg isn't known for its Asian food, so I feel like I have to adjust my standards a little bit. I'd definitely recommend coming here though! read more

Don't let the facade or the lack of ambiance deter you from this place, because the food is on point. Quick & friendly service, we ordered all kinds of appetizers and every single one did not disappoint. Spicy ramen was perfectly seasoned and the ajitama seasoned egg was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the calamari, chicken karaage, and the potato shrimp. This is a gem hidden in an assuming spot. read more

I'd prefer a bit more comprehensive dishes for the price (which is not high, but still ). I got just plain rice with shredded Korean meat

We ordered sugar doughnuts and fried dumplings for a snack. The sugar didn't stick to the doughnuts, like it did on the picture. We had to try to put the sugar chunks on top or in the doughnut, which was more trouble than it was worth. The fried dumplings were just ok. At first glance the ambiance looked nice, but as we ate we noticed some problems. We had to search a wall of the restaurant for a relatively clean table, even the one we found wasn't wiped properly. We also noticed the ceiling tiles were painted black. Because it looks so out of place, we think the paint might hide dirt and the such. Personally, I won't be back. read more

Gyudon and tonkotsu ramen were both delicious and reasonably priced.

The ginger dressing for their side salad is surprisingly tasty. Service and ambience were great. read more

Great Food! Nice experience... Will be back for more... The Black Garlic makes it all amazing!!!

Average ramen. Nothing special. But hey, it's a college town. I guess we can't expect much here.

Waited to leave this review until my 5th time coming. I've had several of the appetizers, several different milk tea, ramen, and chicken katsu. The ramen never disappoints flavor wise, it's a bit expensive but given its one of the only ones in the area it's fair. All the flavors are good and if you want some spice they give it to you. The chicken katsu was crispy and the rice has a great texture. At first I was upset because I felt like I didn't get enough curry but it was no problem for them to bring me more which I was really happy with! The boba is good, sometimes I wish it had a littttllee more flavor but I havnt tried all the flavors yet, and again, there's only so many choices around here, but I would def get it here again. read more

Authentic ramen bowls. I have eaten there twice, once in the restaurant and also to go. Portion sizes are large. Service is quick. For the to go order, they do an incredible job of separating the food and making sure that things are separated. It's also a step up from your average to go packaging. Broth is amazing! I got the Tonkatsu ramen and could possibly just live off the broth. Boba drinks are super sweet and like a dessert. Had to switch to water so as not to raise my blood sugar. Try their food before everybody starts eating there. read more

Kuma Moon - Moon Milk Tea w/ Rose - Bubble Tea Near Me - Blacksburg, Virginia

The boba tea here is the best in the Blacksburg and Christiansburg area. Besides the super cute cup designs (the bear lids!!), most of the drinks are made with care and look just like the picture. During usual times I'd say it takes around 5-8 minutes to receive your tea and about 12-13 for ramen. The service is great and while I was waiting for an open kiosk, two workers came up to me and asked if I was looked for a table to be sat down at. The ramen on the other hand is not that great. The eggs don't taste like they've been marinated at all, the meat I had in my ramen was overly salty, and the broth is just missing a "kick" that could make it so much better (reminds me a little of instant ramen soup bases). Sadly won't be ordering the ramen again but will be coming back for the awesome tea! read more

Must try! Awesome food! Great staff. Tried several appetizers and went back another night before our trip ended.

I ate here for dinner last night and had a good time. Inside was nice and clean, and servers were friendly. I ordered the tan tan ramen, a milk tea bubble tea and the steamed gyoza. All of the food tasted pretty nice, with the ramen having really nice flavor. Only real cons were appetizers being delivered 5 minutes after the meal, and the spoon I had was a bit of flimsy plastic so better quality utensils would be appreciated. Decent prices for everything and I would say it's worth trying out if you are by Virginia Tech. read more

The NRV has been begging for a decent ramen place and we finally have it at Kuma Moon. Don't balk at the price- it's perfectly cooked and dressed. The pork was the exact right amount of cooked to be suitable with the dish I got. The egg was divine- usually you just get an over cooked egg at some ramen places, but not here. The taste is out of this world. The portion is huge! Makes the price well worth it! read more
