    Poke bowl: salmon, shrimp, corn, lettuce, cucumber, tempura flakes, and pink ginger
    Zac G.

    NOTE: Ninja Cafe and Kung Fu Tea are co-located. This review covers the former, a Japanese fast-casual establishment. Though it offers a small selection of appetizers (gyoza, tataki, takoyaki), sushi rolls, and even sushi burritos, Nina Cafe's biggest draw, as with the tea side of the house, is its customizability. For $8 or $11 respectively, you can build your own cooked or poke bowl including your choice of rice (sushi or brown), proteins, veggies, toppings (for the poke bowl), and sauces. The portions are filling (a bowl can feed two), and miso is included. While everything tasted fresh, this isn't the best poke I've had (Greensboro's Poke Bowl offers better execution of a similar concept) though it is fairly satisfying. Staff are polite, but the custom bowls do take a bit of time to prepare. If your basis of comparison is your favorite traditional Japanese restaurant, Ninja Cafe will fail to impress. But as a quicker, cheaper, more casual alternative, it acquits itself well.

    Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl with Spanish not Rice.
    Travis D.

    Finally we found a Poke Bowl place! Had Spicy Tuna & Salmon Poke Bowls The veggies where fresh and overall really good. The Tuna and Salmon was plentiful, not huge amounts of fish but enough to be satisfied. My only criticism is that they are a little skimpy on the Poke sauce. We even asked for extra and didn't get it. Sorry we like our sauce but it seemed like they just sprinkled a few drops. Good news, I had enough Jalapeños to numb my mouth where I didn't miss the sauce too much.

    Eel & Shrimp Sushi Burrito
    Tiffany L.

    Tried this place for the first time today and overall, it was pretty good! My only complaint would be that there was barely any eel in the Eel and Shrimp Sushi Burrito. There was maybe one thin slice of it in each half of the burrito. It is a decently sized burrito but taken into consideration the price ($10), there should be fewer veggies and less rice and more of the protein.

    After summer vacation I came back and everyone told me how kung fu tea came to Blacksburg. I was shocked and excited to try it out. They also mentioned how kung fu tea had sushi now and I was amazed since I didn't know a kung fu tea franchise was allowed to do that. Then I realized the place was called ninja cafe, that had sushi but also sold kung fu tea. The service was very nice and friendly. I always get oolong milk tea from kung fu tea. The best part about kung fu tea, is that no matter which kung fu tea I go to the tea is always the same. I also got a fully loaded sushi burrito. I was not a big fan of it, so I probably won't get sushi from here again. The burrito felt very mushy, even though it had shrimp tempura, I didn't really get a crunch from it. The flavors were nice, but I couldn't really taste anything beside cream cheese and spicy tuna. Overall, I would definitely come back for the kung fu tea and to try their teriyaki. However, I probably won't get their sushi again.

    Amazing food! I had been several times for the mango green tea (comes with mango jelly at no charge). Tried poke bowl for the first time today and it's delicious! Drive through only due to quarantine but they make the food very quickly as well. Great customer service and staff. Use the KFT app for rewards if you're into that kind of thing too.

    Ordering area with nicely displayed digital menus. Little eating area with booths and table/chairs off to the side.

    This is by far one of the best things to come to Blacksburg. Their variety of sushi, sushi burritos, and poke bowls are amazing! And the tea is always delicious too! My favorite is the spicy tuna sushi burrito and a passion fruit green tea -- sooo good! I've also had a poke bowl and they're yummy too! Gotta get the yum yum sauce for sure with them!

    Poke bowl
    Thomas J.

    This place is awesome. Best poke bowl I've had and one of the only places in Blacksburg to get a decent helping of fresh sushi for a decent price. Poke bowls can be completely customized and two can eat for a little over 20 bucks. Not bad for takeout or a lunch date.

    Quality poke bowls for a reasonable price. Ton of toppings to choose from and they don't skimp on portions either

    They still don't serve walk in customers, even though the doors are open and all the signs are on inside. What's the point?

    Love the poke bowls! So excited Blacksburg finally has a poke place and you can customize the bowl. I'll be here at least once a week!

    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)!
