absolutely amazing, simple and modern design, kind and informed staff, and some of the best soba i’ve ever eaten in my life. not to mention the amazing college kid-friendly prices. i can almost taste the hot and sour soup every time i drive past.
Erica, Kylie, & Kamden are just so kind! The employees are fantastic, and the food never fails to hit the spot. Service very quick and this makes for a fun family visit. A must visit in Blacksburg
Great steamed dumplings and pork buns! These dishes were amazing and were complimented well with the sauce. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Ericka and Kylie rock!!
We ordered the steamed BBQ pork bread and the fried dumplings. The steamed bread is super similar to Chinese steamed BBQ pork bread which is what I think they were going for and it really hit the spot. The fried dumplings were...underwhelming. They were so tiny and the dough was a bit thick. The filling itself was nice, but I think if they made the dumplings bigger so that there's more filling and the dough is thinner, that would be perfect. The dumpling sauce is really good! It's salty and sweet and slightly spicy. Overall I would recommend checking Marco & Luca Dumplings out if you're missing Chinese steamed bread and dumplings. It'll hit the spot.

Good dumplings, though you definitely want to order more than one serving for a solid meal. That said, the servings are cheap so buying multiple is made worthwhile. It seems like most of their business is take-out, though, so don’t get turned off by people not sitting in during lunchtime. Good food, quick service, quality restaurant. I look forward to coming back. Will see you in year 2025!
Food is still good but it isn't the same dumplings or sauce that they had. 12 dumplings used to fill me up easily but now they're a lot smaller and not very filling anymore
If you’re looking for the dumplings from Charlottesville I didn’t get them here. I ordered the fried dumplings and they’re just gyoza. Save your time and money for the one at uva

Affordable and good dumplings, but you might want to get more than one serving if you want to make it a meal.
