Authentic chinese food that’s on campus. I ordered the yangzhou fried rice which was delicious. It’s cheaper if you pay in cash (I paid like 9.5 ish cash) and they have free cold water and hot tea. It’s pretty spacious and overall a great place Atmosphere wise, it’s definitely okay for a meal, but definitely not a place with good enough atmosphere to go on a date. Overall, really great place. I suggest coming here after a cbtf test (which is what I do) Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

Cheap food at a great price! Americanized but good tasting Chinese food. They also have some classics depending on what you order. If you are. A student on a tight budget, then definitely check this place out! In my opinion, much better than what you could get at a Chipotle or Qdoba! Service Take out Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20

This is a great little secret! This is a fun little family run business that caters to the customer. There is plenty of seeding in the little restaurant as well as amenities they have water and tea and ice water for those who have to wait for their to go orders or while they're eating inside. Their place is clean Their service is fast Portions: large They even have a Chinese menu as well as an American Chinese menu. They have lunch specials too! I have to say to date they have one of the best cashew chicken that I have had so far since moving here.

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! Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20

Decent restaurant with affordable price, large portion, fast service and cordial behavior. The appearance is modest at best, but I like all of their Masala items and hot and spicy chicken as well (the photo is of hot and spicy chicken). The complimentary tea is a plus. Masala fish is a great item too! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20

Excellent Chinese restaurant with large portions and no-frills atmosphere. Complimentary tea is also served with your meal. Staff is friendly and service is quick. Great option for cheap and authentic food.

My favorite restaurant for lunch/dinner around campus. I love the staff, they are very friendly and helpful. If you don't know what you want, just ask them, they will suggest something that you will definitely like. They also have tea and water for free. The portion is big, and I sometimes have to ask for a box, which is awesome. The price is amazing, I think is very cheap for what you get. My recommendations are garlic eggplant, crispy tofu, and Orange chicken.

This is hands down the best small Chinese restaurant I've found in my life. I've only lived here about a year, and Ive had my go to spot, but I'm SO GLAD I tried Cravings tonight. The best Hot and Sour soup I've ever had, super authentic food, and the owners are really nice. I'll absolutely be back and bringing friends, lol.

I ordered diced chicken with black bean sauce. Absolutely disgusting. The chicken was not only fried, but also very tough, and its texture very strange (it was "stringy"). It seemed like it was stored in a freezer for a very long time and then re-heated. The "black bean sauce" that was poured over the chicken was clear (it had no color), with only small, sparse remnants of black bean mixed in. The entire dish had a salty kind of flavor distributed all throughout, so I wasn't able to discern if the "sauce" had any of its own taste. In summary, the chicken didn't feel like chicken, and the sauce didn't feel like sauce -- definitely an odd dish. I had to throw most of it away. The only part that I enjoyed was the rice.

Great portions and prices. They have free hot tea for everyone. Quick service. My husband had this while attending UIUC, and now a decade later the experience was the same. Heart warming and the owner is very warm! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20
