Blacksburg No. 1

At first, I avoided the place due to the earlier bad reviews. Went here a couple of times. Love the soup noodles! Fairly authentic and spicy soup base. They give a fair amount of meat and a lot of noodles! Food is well cooked and the place is clean. Found the fried noodles pretty oily, which I dislike. Just pick up after yourself like at most fast-food joints!

I love this place. I see a lot of reviews complaining about it being “dirty” or having to pick up your own bowls and trash. Yes you do in fact have to clean up after yourself (a lot of food places including my work request you do that, it’s nothing new) and I haven’t ever seen it be dirty or messy. That said, the food is amazing. The portions are huge! I’d say it’s probably the best Asian cousine in town. Just don’t be rude and leave your dishes on the table, they have a place to put them. It’s guaranteed to be a good experience and good food!

A newly opened Chinese noodle restaurant. Had the original beef noodle soup there. The noodle is quite tasty and full of flavor. Beef size and portion are huge. The portion size definitely exceeds the expectation of the inexpensive price (~$8). Overall, this place deserves five stars and I will surely recommend it to my friends.

The regular beef rice noodle was okay. Very mild, not spicy.

Roasted beef fried noodles are tasty as well but a little too salty. Stay hydrated.

2018-09-20 Updated: rating reduced to four-star: the server at the front desk taking orders was indifferent. No greeting, no words and I could not feel any passion from her about their business.

2019-05-13 Updated: Rating reduced to three stars. The noodle soup quality has decreased appreciably: Previous spicy soups full with flavors have been changed to clear broths mixed with spoonful chili sauce. Luncheon meat slices become much thinner than before. Free oranges are gone. Price increased by $2 averagely.

I went on a Monday in the afternoon, so business was a little slow. I tried the fried dumplings, and a bottle of green tea. The dumplings were cooked perfectly, and tasted great! The owner is so very kind, and was accommodating. I can't wait to go back and try the hand pulled noodles!
