Stopped by for a late lunch with my family on a hot summer day. The AC inside was broken, so we…read moreordered takeout. I got a katsu curry rice plate and my father got the chicken katsu with coleslaw. The food was prepared in average time (around 10-15 minutes, nothing crazy) and we took it home. The food itself tasted very good. The katsu chicken was crispy and the curry, though thin, was flavorful and delicious. However, both my father and I suffered symptoms of food poisoning later in the day and into the next. I think it is reasonable to guess that this was spurred by the lack of AC in the kitchen, which may have led to improper food handling. I will not be back, but I know people who swear by this place and have never had this experience. I would caution others to try it in the cooler months.

I enjoyed the food here! I got the chicken tonkatsu plate with cucumber salad and macaroni salad,…read moreand I tried some of the mochiko chicken. The mochiko chicken was good, and was pretty juicy. I enjoyed the mochiko sauce that came with it. The tonkatsu was crispy and not dry. But I felt like the sauce could've been sweeter for my taste. The macaroni salad was pretty good, and I liked the cucumber salad. I thought the portion size was good for the price. I would definitely come back again, and would probably go here somewhat often if it was near where I lived!

If you look at the picture it is clear, I would have liked it in an actual margarita glass at the least or get salt on the rim. I got the texana fajitas to share. This came with shrimp, steak, and chicken. It was good but I have never had a fajita that I did not like. We barely saw our waiter. We asked for water multiple times and finally got it probably 45 minutes after we had arrived and once we received our food. Prices are fair. Note: you seat yourself

The Lazy Bulldog Bistro is what I'd like to refer to as (what Bob Ross would say) a "happy…read moreaccident." I was traveling with a friend up to Blacksburg so we could watch our alma mater, Virginia Tech, play North Carolina in a big early college football matchup. While driving up from Hampton Roads, we kind of settled on grabbing lunch at Sticks & Spoons Ramen Bar in Roanoke before checking into our hotel and then finally heading out for the game. We made good time and, wouldn't you know it, Sticks & Spoons was closed for renovations. S&S was located at small strip mall - so after seeing they were closed, we noticed Lazy Bulldog across the way. We figured, "Why not?" and headed over. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by Lazy Bulldog's co-owners, Brandon & Erika. They were quick to answer any questions about their menu, and Erika was kind enough to provide their establishment's history. The menu looked incredible as LB offered all kinds of burgers and sandwiches. We ordered the What the Ale Shrooms for an appetizer, which were fried button mushrooms in beer batter. It came with a homemade lemon aioli - both the shrooms & the aioli were delicious. I had the Surf 'N Turf Burger (1/3 lb beef patty, Old Bay fried shrimp, thick cut hickory bacon, lettuce, tomato, Sriracha aioli), while Neal ordered the Garlic Bomb (1/3 lb beef patty, cheddar, lettuce, sauteed garlic, red onion, homemade garlic aioli). Both of us enjoyed our choices and appreciated the excellent service from Erika and Brandon. Our entire experience was fantastic, which came with extra effort when Erika gave us free water while we chatted outside with one of Neal's former professors. LB closes for a couple of hours between lunch & dinner service, so Erika, as she was closing up and leaving, gladly provided the water and some extra produce she had grown herself. Thank you, Lazy Bulldog, for everything! I cannot wait to visit again when I return to Blacksburg! JV

The place was on the busier side with online and in-person orders, and he seemed to be a bit overwhelmed meeting demand. We ordered to bowls to eat at the restaurant-- one house bowl and one build your own. Both were delicious, and it's great that they've still maintained the unlimited toppings deal despite limiting trends from other poke places. You could divide each bowl into one big meal or two small ones, as it was quite satisfying for one sitting. DRINKS Bubble tea, carbonated drinks, and other drinks are available for purchase, though we didn't order any this time around. ATMOSPHERE Inside the restaurant was very clean and modern, and it is very inviting as a casual place to catch up with friends over a good meal. PARKING Ample parking is available throughout the Barracks parking lots, though you might have to walk a bit depending on how busy the place is.

Competent teppanyaki with genuine charm Ichiban occupies a…read morecomfortable middle ground in the hibachi dining space -- neither a revelation nor a disappointment, but a reliably enjoyable evening out. The theatrics at the grill are well-executed without veering into gimmick territory, and the chefs clearly know their way around a teppanyaki surface. The steak deserves mention. Properly seasoned and cooked to order, it holds up against pricier competitors. The fried rice is a quiet standout - better than it needs to be, which says something about the kitchen's attention to detail even on the basics. Where Ichiban earns its reputation is in the overall package. Communal grill seating creates an energy that's difficult to manufacture, and on a good night the atmosphere genuinely elevates the meal. Service is functional rather than polished, which feels appropriate for the format. The pricing reflects the experience rather than purely the food, and that's a fair trade for most diners. Walk-ins are acc lodated, making it an accessible option without une friction of advance planning. Not a destination for the serious gastronome, but an honest, well-run restaurant that delivers what it promises.
