Best. Chinese. In. Blacksburg. (please note that I didn't say ever) Unfortunately, it's not located near campus, and I'm not sure if you can walk there or not. A friend took me to eat there, saying that they had huge portions for really cheap prices. I decided to see before I made any opinions since the Happy Wok closer to campus also had large portions for cheap. When we got our food order, we got a serving of rice, a side, soup, and the platter you actually order. Ordering for two people filled up a cardboard box - basically, the portions are huge and as a college kid, it was definitely cheap. It's also prepared really quickly! The Chinese here at least tastes like Chinese, unlike Happy Wok, which is more bland. I ordered the lo mein here for comparison and it tasted much more flavorful; my boyfriend ordered the General Tso's chicken and everything was just fantastic. The portions were so large that they lasted us for two days! The major downside is that they don't deliver, which sucks when you're on campus. But overall really good Chinese food if you're in Blacksburg - your typical food fare, but good compared to the other options in the area! read more

Cheap large portions prepared quickly. I wish that there was even the slightest bit of quality, the hot and sour soup lacked the requsite flavors, all the other dishes from the Lo-Mein to the General Tso's and Szcehuan Chicken seem to have been a product of a lazy kitchen that just throws ingredients in a wok and tops it with a pre-made sauce. Eating here is also not a good idea, while I was here... The owner of the restaurant launched into a diatribe in Mandarin; screaming at the top of her lungs on the phone and to one of her cooks. It was absolutely nuts... read more

Pretty standard chinese food, but MONSTER portion sizes. I went here for brunch, and for $8 (with tip) I was fed for the entire day. Included a huge entre, rice, spring rolls, AND soup. The guy at the front desk is very helpful, I was surprised with the service at this place. read more

The roast duck is great. It is a great place to have Chinese food, especially cantonese cuisine. They also offer samples sometimes. It is definitely a place I will suggest read more

Watch out the Chinese style customized dishes (offered on a separate menu in Chinese). The portions of these dishes are small, ​and the prices are high. No highlight for the taste. read more

One evening, I was craving Chinese food and I hadn't ever had any in Blacksburg before. I decided to let Yelp guide my path. This place popped up as the most promising, so I drove on over. At first glance, you pause before you walk in. It's definitely a "hole in the wall" and you begin to wonder. But based on reviews, I was game. Good move. For less than $5, I got a large portion of sesame chicken and white rice (my preference), along with a cup of soup and a fortune cookie. The portion was plentiful, enough for dinner and lunch the next day. And the taste was spot on. You just can't beat good tasting Chinese that is also quick and cheap. read more

Used to eat here all of the time and had good results but has since gone down hill. They didn't complete my order for pick up and we only realized after we got home 20 min away. I called and was transferred to a manager named Marquis, who refused to give his last name nor refund the missing item. Instead wanted me to drive back out to the store and work it out. I asked who the owner was or manager above him and he told me that there had been some recent changes and now there was no owner or person above him. read more

Let me start by pointing out that a three star review is not a bad thing: I actually like Chinese Kitchen just fine! They serve average Chinese food at rock-bottom prices. I don't ever go into the restaurant (having only ordered delivery) so I can't comment on the place, their service, or their cleanliness but their food is tasty enough. There are better places that I like more. There are worse places that I'll never go to again. When I don't want to spend a lot of money on mediocre Chinese food, I'm sure I'll be ordering from here again. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not a week from now, but eventually I'll be dining on their a-ok food once again. read more

Chow mein? "Crispy noodles with rice" in the description? More like soggy veggies with some pork, NO NOODLES, no rice. I went back to the restaurant and they said it was the right order... Like what. That's not even right. I get that it's cheap food but cmon this isn't even what your menu says. read more

This is easily the best Chinese in Blacksburg. Always fast and super affordable for college students. Amazing every single time. My favorite is the beef and broccoli with egg drop soup. Would recommend Chinese Kitchen to anybody! read more

Delivery took a while, though not the biggest reason I dinged it. Kung pao chicken had way too much celery. Not sure if it's a regional thing here in SW VA, but celery can definitely ruin the taste of the food, especially when there is just as much of it as the meat. Beef fried rice was good though. read more

Great portion of food for good price. Super fast delivery at most of time. Compare to most of the Chinese restaurant, this one is clean enough. Food is delicious, not really traditional food style there is in China but definitely the best taste of American Chinese food. The material they use to cook is fresh. Owner was really friendly although his English is not so good. They have the best white rice I've ever had in any Chinese restaurant. Will go there again. Really a thumb up! read more

Terrible service They definitely favored their friends over people that have been waiting over 20 minutes for food Me and at least three others had to wait extra long. Food is ok Cheap The cooks were fighting with each other and were really unprofessional. read more

Heard about this from friends who like it -- so was quite surprised at how bad it was. My shrimp in black bean sauce had 3-1/2 shrimp and about a half pound of onions, a few shreds of other vegetables. The sauce was so watery that the flavor of the black beans didn't stick to the solid food bits. I also ordered steamed dumplings, and though the meat filling was delicious, the dough was so huge in proportion, and so pasty, that it was inedible. The steamed rice was quite fine. read more

Tofu was extremely underdone, it wouldn't even stay on my fork and it made me gag when I tried to eat it, I had to spit it out. Its a shame because their seaweed salad and broccoli is amazing. However when I called, the manager told me to order it deep fried next time. read more

Greasy, but fast SERVICE. Accommodating with adjusting the menu to your taste. I have never been totally pleased with taste of the food, so I go to better Chinese restaurants in Blacksburg. Verify that your order is right before you pay. read more

I've ordered from other Chinese places in the area and this was my least favorite. I ordered fried rice and lo mein, and the fried rice wasn't even similar to normal chinese takeout fried rice, not even sure what it was, and the lo mein was mostly unidentifiable vegetables rather than noodles and meat. Didn't taste like anything besides ginger. Probably won't order from here again, the only decent thing I had was the egg drop soup. read more

I bought a gift card from the Chinese kitchen. Unfortunately, I lost the gift card today. I call for help and they said that there is nothing they can do. The problem is that there is a code in the back of the gift card which the deliever guy need write on down for records. Now he told me that there is no record. "We never keep any records." That is bullshit read more

I hate giving bad reviews, but this place is terrible. My husband had Kung Pao Chicken and I had Schezwan Beef. The only thing identifying the Kung Pao was the peanuts and the Schezwan Beef was fatty beef with broccoli in a bright red sauce that tasted like nothing I've ever had before. The hot and sour soup was at least average. We won't be making a return visit. read more

my favorite chinese restaurant in blacksburg! superrrr cheap lunch specials, you can most entrees with soup and rice for under $7-8. I haven't ordered delivery from them since freshman year, but they were great when I did. now that I am off campus, I always order for takeout. I order on their website because they have a 15% off coupon all the time. they're very quick and the people who work there are super nice. not a ton of seating so we usually do takeout but it's also not usually crowded in there, I think because most people get delivery. read more

Honetly it's just your typical Chinese takeout place. This place is usually my go-to just because of location and price. You'll get what you expect to get, no matter what you order. Lunch specials are always the best deals, and the portions are pretty decent for the price. Only thing is I'm never a fan of rice that's yellow in color. read more

This place is my favorite Chinese takeout joint. The food is cheap (doubly so at lunch), plentiful, just greasy enough and tasty. The General Tso's is the fattiest, sweetest, spiciest fried lumps of chicken you've ever tasted. Avoid some of the dishes like garlic chicken as they tend to be mostly vegetables. General Tso's, Lo Mein, Eggrolls, Chinese Donuts (fried Pillsbury biscuits) and Mu Shu Pork are some highlights. read more

Great lunch specials, big portions, good Chinese pick up/delivery place in Blacksburg! As other reviews have stated, this is definitely more "Americanized" Chinese food so keep that in mind if you are looking for something different. I personally have tried and liked chicken dishes and I recommend the spring rolls, wonton soup, and egg drop soup as well. Another plus is that you can use GrubHub to order for pick up/delivery which can save time! read more

This place is one of the better Chinese takeout places in Blacksburg. The guy who takes the orders is really friendly and nice. Huge portions and very reasonably priced. If you want Chinese in Blacksburg, this is the place. read more

Loved my chicken in black bean sauce with snow peas, but that was about it. HORRIBLE fried rice and crab rangoon! Fried rice didn't have a single drop of soy (what kind of fried rice doesn't have soy sauce?) and even though I asked for "Extra Extra Soy Sauce," they only provided us with 2 packets, which was not nearly enough to make the fried rice edible. We eventually had to throw out most of it. The crab rangoon had no filler! It was small and empty. I was incredibly disappointed with this meal. Maybe it was an off night, but I don't want to risk another night of awful Chinese food again. read more

Really good chinese. You could order the entire menu and it would still only take "'bout 10 minute". The main guy is kinda crabby and one of the chef's has to be insane but they have the best chinese food in Blacksburg. read more

This is a good standard Chinese takeout place. I usually get the curry chicken with onions because it's very tasty, good flavors in the sauce and the onions are the perfect amount of crunch. I also love the water chestnut in this dish. I also get pork fried rice on the side and the pork is good and flavorful but the rice itself doesn't have much flavor. I usually doctor it up with some salt and soy sauce and Sriracha and that makes it perfect! read more

I eat at Chinese Kitchen at least once a month. You always get a lot of food for the money and I have never gotten any bad food from here. They don't deliver but your food is always ready "in 5 minute k?" no matter how busy they are. The best Chinese take out restaurant in Blacksburg! read more

Not bad but just not super close to me. Sometimes the egg rolls were super greasy. Portions were good size for good price. I just don't know if there was anything super outstanding about this place. A really basic eating area that is pretty much self-service. No drink machine so you're buying every bottle or can of whatever you want to drink. They did have fast service though. China Inn was just closer to my side of town. read more

This is my go-to place for chinese in blacksburg. The hispanic man behind the counter is a great guy, and works his ass off day in and out. Huge portions and great taste. Everyone has pretty much covered this place in their reviews so im not going to elaborate. They have a huge menu but id stick to the popular dishes. Here are my favorites: General Tso's Chicken Kung Pao Chicken Black Pepper Chicken Pork Fried Rice read more

This is definitely my favorite Chinese place in Blacksburg. The portions are huge and the food tastes good. I don't think I've ever had an order take longer than 15 minutes either. Some of my favorites include Kung Pao Chicken and General Tso's Chicken. The dinner combinations come with a huge serving of pork fried rice and an egg roll -- I almost always have leftovers! Also the lunch specials are an incredible value! read more

Got takeout in less than 40 minutes. Huge portions. $20 fed 3 people. Not stupendous flavor but such a great value!

Holy cow the portions are huge. Great flavor friendly staff definitely get your monies worth

This is the best Chinese food in Blacksburg, and heaven knows that college students need good Chinese food! It's always quick, and the food is consistent. read more

What used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in Blacksburg, is still my favorite Chinese restaurant in Blacksburg, but it is down from 5 to 4 stars. Ever since the owners of Chinese Kitchen opened up a Chinese buffet the quality has dropped a bit. I change up my order but always order one of the dinner combo. It comes with pork fried rice and a pork egg roll. Not ideal for the vegetarians but it is great for me. The food is great and they are courteous enough to provide containers that are perfect for leftovers. They are also extremely quick. I don't even usually call ahead. I walk in order, and I am out the door in less than 10 minutes. All in all. Its not quite what it used to be, but its still my go to for quick cheap Chinese in Blacksburg. read more

Great food and awesome prices! Definitely the best Chinese food in Blacksburg. Employees are always pleasant and they remember you even if its only your second visit. Only thing I wish they had was delivery. read more

You cannot beat the lunch special here. The portions are huge and for about 6 bucks they come with soup and egg rolls. The shrimp with lobster sauce is really good. read more

One of the better Chinese food places in the 540. No delivery so be prepared to go and get it. I recommend the general tso chicken. White meat, soft and delicious. Not too spicy and enough for dinner and lunch tomorrow. read more

Pretty good for what it is. I ordered a pint each of chicken and broccoli, broccoli with oyster sauce, and sweet and sour chicken. The sweet and sour chicken and the broccoli with oyster sauce were pretty good but the chicken and broccoli wasn't good. Quick service- I ordered online and there was a 15% discount. If I had only gotten two pints instead of three I think I'd be pretty good (for two people). Reasonable priced! Definitely a take-out location. read more

Came in here late one evening, mainly because I was near by and hungry. I'd heard good things about this place from some people I know, so I figured it was worth a shot. It looks like your typical strip mall Chinese joint, a little dingy with next to no dining area. It was pretty busy, and probably a little dirtier than normal because of that. After getting the food, I was not impressed. The food tasted a little freezer burnt and the imitation crab had a very odd taste. With so many better options in the area I won't be going there again. read more
