I hate to leave a negative review because I've eaten here several times and the food is excellent. Last night I got takeout for my family of four and two of us ended up vomiting overnight. No other illness and I can't prove it was food poisoning from here, but we have not eaten out anywhere else in the past few days. We started eating within 10 minutes of picking up the food, so I don't think it was mishandling on our end. I had the soup and was fine; the two that threw up split an order of orange chicken.
I'm a Chinese American student at Virginia Tech. I know what good Chinese food is, and this place does not represent that at all. The staff is rude, even to their fellow Chinese people. The food looked like a my Caucasian friend's first attempt at Chinese food - while using the cheapest and worst ingredients possible. I thought it was a fluke the first time I went and ordered the beef noodle soup so I gave this restaurant a second and even a third try, ordering different items each time.Since those three experiences, I had not gone back for over a year. I enjoy Lin Yue Chuan and Spicity much more; however, I decided to give them another attempt. I got the Udon fried noodles with fatty lamb and it was oily, awful, and unappetizing. I currently have diarrhea that I believe might have been from the food I ate. I would not wish this food upon my worst enemy. Stay away, you have been warned.
Their ramen is always so yummy and they have a lot of options to choose from. Definitely worth checking out.
Their food is really good. The pan fried dumplings were delicious. I got the beef and broccoli, and it was great! The beef they use is a brisket kind of beef and it’s super tender. They also sent a water bottle with my order for free which was a nice little surprise. The portions are also huge. I’ll definitely be ordering again!
I had the chicken with broccoli and steamed dumplings. The steamed dumplings were good but the chicken was disappointing. They must not put cornstarch in the sauce because it all sinks to the bottom and does not stick to the chicken. The broccoli in it is cut too big and I believe it's undercooked. they also forgot to put the fried rice in the bag so I had to walk back 20 minutes to get it.
The noodles were excellent and the dumplings were delicious! The food isn’t too expensive
I would usually get the Vegetable Hot Pot. Keep in mind it is supposed to come with soft tofu. First time I ordered it was perfect. 2nd time I ordered I asked for extra tofu. I got charged $3 extra but didn't get extra. 3rd time I didn't order extra tofu but got charged $3 and it was fried tofu instead of soft. I don't like fried tofu and wondered why I got charged when I didn't ask for extra. 4th time I was on the phone with the lady 5 minutes making sure she understood I didn't want to be charged for extra tofu and I didn't want fried. I even ask her to repeat it back and it appeared she got it. She said it will be 15 minutes. I got busy at work so I didn't there for an hour. She took my money and then informed me she had just put in my order. Soooo...as much as I love the Vegetable Hot Pot I will never go there again. I think 3 trys is enough. Not counting the frustration I endured.
Went to support a local business instead of a a chain. Service was very hostile. Orderd the dumpling ramen, there was no dumplings. I could have made this at home. Did not get what I paid for. Overall would not get again bc of the terrible service and awful food. Do not take a chance with them, wish I could have my money back.
by far the best authentic chinese food in blacksburg!! if you’re looking for the typical lo mein or orange chicken, i suggest you go to another place. i got the spicy beef noodle soup and my friend got the veggie instant noodle stir fry. both had great chinese 5 spice and wok flavor. also has great dim sum options if you’re craving that!!
I've been in the restaurant industry for over 17 years. I'm not one to leave a bad review. My mom taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all. I can't in good faith let anyone else eat here. It's awful. I've had bad food, never have i had food that's so nasty I had to spit it out. Please don't make the same mistake I did, steer clear!
