    Chicken with some fantastic marinated cabbage.
    Adam B.

    This non-descript restaurant doesn't look fancy - it's set up with 8 tables, cheap seats, and old furnishings, but what it lacks in ambiance it totally makes up for in FLAVOR! Our friend from China is attending Virginia Tech, and she was excited to share this place because of its authenticity. We discovered that the printed English menu is different from the Chinese menu hand-written on the white boards. Our friend even ordered a traditional Chinese cabbage and pork dish that wasn't on the menu, but the owner/cook was happy to make it for us. You could tell that this place was a "home away from home" for the many Chinese students that attend VT. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place!

    Lowkey a great Chinese restaurant in terms of Blacksburg area. Workers are kind and it's at an optimal location in downtown right next to campus. One of my international Chinese friends took me to this restaurant and showed me the special Chinese menu on the side and let me tell you, it's great. My goto order is usually salt black pepper pork or chicken (small) usually good enough to serve myself and it's quite a large portion for one person. Definitely filling. I also really enjoy the general tso's over rice (small). I don't normally eat general tso but it's one of the best I've had just due to the huge pieces of chicken.

    Mouse droppings and dead moth in the food! I take it back to the carry out and they say it's just black pepper? WTF..mind blowing!

    One of the worst takeout establishments ever!!! This place poses a health hazard to all. I ordered the kung pao chicken and beef and broccoli. To my surprise, I find mouse droppings and a dead moth in the food. I called and informed them of my findings. With no apologies, the female employee just yelled "No refund." and hung up. I went back to the establishment to show them the mouse droppings and the dead bug. The crazy lady then snatched the food out of my hand and starts yelling at me in broken English ranting "You poo poo!" Then the psycho employee starts cursing me out in Chinese. I asked for the manager's telephone number and she says she doesn't know it and continues to yell at me in Chinese. If you value your health, DO NOT EAT HERE...EVER!! I will be reporting this landfill to the health department!

    Little hole in the wall next to the Lyric. Love getting the personal sized General Tso for about 7 bucks.

    Finally, Blacksburg has a very good restaurant! Junzi…read moreKitchen Virginia Tech, Blacksburg VA | Authentic Healthy Flavorful Chinese. https://www.junzi.kitchen 220 Gilbert St Ste 115, Blacksburg, VA 24060, (540) 739-3061 Closed Saturday morning and Sunday (Also, Junzi is located at Columbia University and Yale University.) The menu is inspired by Chinese culinary heritage and defined by next-generation cooking. It faces the parking lot on the roof of the parking garage near the rotary on Prices Fork Road. Drive up the ramp on Turner Street. Junzi is employed in the Book of Changes to mean a superior, ideal person who constantly cultivates virtue and improves their character, and by Confucius in his works to describe a virtuous person with noble characters. Jeanne and I ate there today and had delicious bowls of noodles, meat and vegetables. I came away feeling really good and looking forward to eating there again! And with much leftover to eat later.

This is a must visit when in town. And walking distance from VaTech.

    Double Dragon isn't your average sit-down restaurant. They don't have servers, so you just order at…read morethe counter and they'll bring the food to you. I'm a second generation Chinese-American and my Chinese isn't quite at the level of native speakers. I still always try to speak Chinese whenever I'm at a Chinese restaurant. However, I felt ridiculed by the lady running the cash register - who went out of her way to mention how poor my Chinese is. I brushed that off and still ordered my food. My friend and I ate-in, and there weren't any other people at the restaurant. The food was average. I found the dumplings to be very ordinary and quite small. I wish that I had better words to say, but I overall didn't have a good time here and won't be back.

    We live in Town and used to go to Double Dragon on a regular basis for takeout. Years ago, they…read morewere friendly and nice with good food. Then we started finding foreign objects in the food. We kept a piece of wire once to show them, and another time found, and kept, a piece of plastic. Showed the owner those things both times and owner was just kind of 'oh well' attitude. Offered us a free egg roll but we declined both times as their once great egg rolls had gone down hill over the years: greasy and half the size. Then owners got short tempered and non-smiling where once had been happy people. Food kept getting from bad to worse so we stopped going there. Miss chinese food but finding foreign objects in one's food is unacceptable. They weren't regretful at all and even seemed to think we were not telling the truth! So take your chances in going to Double Dragon if you must. We do not recommend.
