Happy Wok

Not far from library and low price.

Good place for lunch and late dinner. The taste? Not so much. But you can only ask this much for a restaurant that is so close to the campus and has very reasonable prices.

Good for Chinese food basics, but disappointing for much else. The fried dumplings in particular were pretty subpar — very doughy and slightly burnt. Also, why serve dumplings with hot oil? Doesn’t really work.

Had the general Zoe’s and crab ragoon. Every thing was delicious but nothing spectacular. Service was super quick even though they were really busy. Would return. Only negative thing is parking but that’s normal for downtown Blacksburg as they can’t control that.

Try the Chinese side of the menu. There are some crazy stuff on their like duck so I just stick to the chicken, pork, beef, and none of the exotic stuff. I think the Chinese side is a better version of the Americanized stuff. Definitely give it a try.

Food is pretty cheap for their portions and tasty. I only order their americanized food but it looks like they have a legit chinese menu as well. They might not smile all the time but the service is quick and they haven’t screwed up any of my orders

Probably not fit for my stomach.

I’m a huge fan of the Perfect Health Menu. Chicken and broccoli is delicious and it’s fun to get other sauces on the side and mix it up. The steamed dumplings are amazing as well! My favorite Chinese restaurant in Blacksburg by far!

Being from Vancouver which had a large population of Chinese I know good Chinese food. This place from what I’ve found is the best you can get for the middle-​of-​no-​where-​Virginia. It is a hole in the wall with typical Americanized Chinese dishes ran by a local family. For the first few times I ordered off the normal menu until one day I saw a white board to the left of the menu offering many other items. The side menu is in Chinese/​English and has some more «authentic» dishes. I use to get the beef soup they had and it kind of tasted like some of the stuff I get while I’m at home. For the price and location this place is pretty good.

Cat is basically right on the mark so I suppose the difference in rating is that I’m just grumpy all the time. Most of the food is subpar even compared to other Chinese in this area, but it is edible, portions are large, and the popular americanized stuff is decent (general tso’s, sesame chicken). What kills it for me is the cleanliness (or lack there of) of the kitchen.

This is the closest Chinese place to Virginia Tech (except for the Chinese food in D2 and Owens), but it is rather good. It looks like a typical Chinese fast food restaurant, but keeping in mind that it’s in an area where Chinese (or Asian) food isn’t renowned, it’s pretty good. It’s a little reminiscent of a China King restaurant back home, but the service is decent, the food preparation easy, and there’s plenty of places to sit if you’re there with friends.
My boyfriend and I ordered the lo mein noodles and the shrimp fried rice when we went, and we ordered it to go. The fried rice was really good — we’ve usually ordered that when we go, and for you college kids, it also reheats very well. The lo mein noodles were a little bland, which I didn’t like as much. We’ve also ordered the curry chicken, which tasted like curry, but once again, the chicken was a bit bland. We also ordered beef one time, but it was similarly bland. Their shrimp fried rice is still good though! (better than the rice they serve on campus)
The prices are also pretty cheap, and they’re open until 11:00PM every day, so it’s easy to get food after the dining centers at Virginia Tech close. Free fortune cookies with your meal too!
