"On my long evening drive along I-81 through the Shenandoah Valley, I stopped off in Daleville for a dinner break. There were several choices of fast food options and truck stop food. However, I decided to have dinner at CL Asia which is located in the Botetourt Commons plaza anchored by a Kroger), only a couple minutes from I-81 Exit 150B. CL Asia offers mostly Chinese cuisine, plus sushi and hibachi dishes and a lunch buffet. The dining room is casual and clean which has ample tables and booths, a bar, sushi bar, and buffet station along the back wall. This restaurant does not have open hibachi tables. I arrived here around 7:30 PM on a quiet Sunday night, and seated promptly. I was given a small dish of fried noodles duck sauce and ice water. I decided on the Hibachi Chicken $12.95) served with soup, salad, entree, rice and vegetables. The salad was a standard plate of iceberg lettuce and ginger dressing slightly sour taste). The wonton soup had 3 firm wontons with hot chicken broth with scallions. The main entree was a generous portion of boneless chicken chunks in a hibachi sauce served with fried rice and fresh vegetables broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms). The chicken chunks were cooked firm and tender. The fried rice was cooked very soft with traces of egg. This hibachi chicken dinner falls into the middle of the pack, compared to the many other hibachi places I've dined at. A fortune cookie with fresh orange wedges accompanied the check. Overall, dinner was good and very filling and much needed since I still had another 100 miles of driving left to go before calling it night."
