The place is always bustling but for good reason! I like the chrysanthemum tea ? They were offering it complimentary during my visit and it was a nice touch!I ordered the general tso's chicken. It came with white rice and a broccoli garnish. It was more sweet than spicy and cooked firm but not too hard or too mushy - just right! I also had the egg drop soup which was cooked to perfection - not slimy and thick nor too thin! Again, just right! Hosts are always very pleasant and patient as you look over their extensive menu. Good portion sizes and prices are right, especially on a student budget!
I came here with high expectations. While the food looked good, it was not as pictured. I mean no hate and would say try it yourself; however, after 1 bite there is Bangkok Thai down the street to take you out of your misery. Plus, the dish pictured is the orange chicken, I ordered the general tso’s, extra spicy, exact same dish. I told them them this and that it was too sweet and they just told me to sit down. Bad customer service, bad food, would not wish this on my worst enemy.
I regularly ate here during my 4 years at UIUC. The prices are very affordable and it tastes better than some of the more expensive Chinese food around campus. The portion size is very generous. I was sometimes able to order a lunch and split it with a friend or save it for dinner. The owner is incredibly polite. I’ve never had a single bad experience here. 5 years after graduation, I dedicated a trip back to Champaign just to eat here at this restaurant. I was not disappointed.
Near the U of I, lots of variety and they offer takeout too.
Good value for money but can't recommend it for good food anymore though.
Eat here if you want to feel good
Super good food for a super good price! The lunch special is amazing.
Best value restaurant in campustown. 1 portion always is enough for 2 meals. Very tasty and has wide variety of dishes too.
Food is fast and quite delicious. Cheap price for a meal ($9-$10)
Delicious food and friendly owner. They've been here so long! 10 years later after undergrad and they've maintained the charm of the place.
