Food is fine, but not worth the trouble. We ordered takeout and they forgot one of our entrees. No biggie, we just called back to replace it. They initially agreed to replace it but when we arrived to pick up the replacement, they insisted they had given it to us and made us pay again. They also started yelling even after we agreed to pay for the entree twice.

My guilty pleasure is Americanized Chinese food. This place has great combo plates for an affordable price! We ordered the sesame chicken, general tso chicken, chicken lo mein, and salt and pepper squid! Food was made quickly and it was good. Owners were so nice and included egg rolls and donuts in our order! Will definitely come back and also try the more traditional Chinese dishes.

Ok let’s start with the food:I ordered the Peking duck, it was 50 dollars. Alright, it’s a bit more expensive than the 30ish dollars I’d usually spend on Peking duck. I was told it’ll be a full duck but when I saw it, it was not a full duck. Alright, hopefully it still tastes good? Nah. That was the driest, blandest, peking duck I’ve ever had. It is not fresh whatsoever. I’m not sure if they made it in house or if they’d buy it from Chinatown Chicago and drive it back down to Champaign but Jesus Christ that duck was inedible. Usually, the dish is served with like a special type of like thin pancake of sorts but they just used store bought tortillas. The store bought tortillas and green onions was somehow the best part of the dish. All that for 50 bucks. I also got potstickers that were alright. Questioning whether they were made in house or not.Service: it’s pretty good, honestly no complaints hereAtmosphere: hahahaha the entire place felt like the backrooms. It’s honestly really funny. It’s legitimately one of the most surreal places I’ve ever stepped foot in. It’s like actually a fever dream. Again really no complaints here.

This is always my favorite place to go. The food is the best in town, and the service is fantastic. The owner always remembers people and is so kind. I've never had a bad meal here.

Ordered food at 5:40, had a pick up time of 6:26. I got there on time. I sat and waited till 7:07 to receive my order, while watching 3 groups of people come in, order, and receive their food. The atmosphere was dirty, plates of food, half eaten crockpots sitting out, floors sticky. It legit made me feel like I should bathe in sanitizer. When I was handed my food I brought up how long we’ve been sitting there an no communication to us, she immediately said “you can just never come back then” needless to say I will never go back

We love coming here but recently the quality has been terrible.Tried calling the restaurant to give honest feedback about the sudden drop in quality of anything that’s been fried(sesame chicken, general tsao, etc.). The owner would not listen to the feedback and acted offended as if I were attacking them. I was simply offering feedback from the last month.If she had simply listened and acted like a normal human being about it I wouldn’t be writing this negative review. We will stop coming here. Maybe a few months from now, we’ll give this place another try. Until then, you’ve lost a regular.

Don’t risk this place. If you do, read this first:Stick to the noodle dishes and plain white rice. Everything else is cooked or fried by someone who has no idea what they’re doing. Even the fried rice is consistently dry like little sand granules. If you think beef and broccoli is a safe choice think again. They will even mess this up consistently. There has been a sudden drop in quality.

Parking lot was large and had plenty of spaces. Service was excellent. Food came out fast and they were very attentive. Restaurant and restrooms were clean. This place seems to be rather popular for takeout orders so the locals are enjoying it. Their menu was rather large and they even have a special Chinese menu with traditional chef specialties. Unfortunately, the food was bland and flavorless. I feel like their target audience are individuals who have dietary restrictions, are beginners to Chinese food, or who prefer low-sodium/non-MSG food. Nothing was horrible but it was so plain. I am not a big fan of adding my own soy sauce and salt because I want to appreciate the dish for how it is supposed to taste. I had to add quite a lot to satisfy my craving. There are so many better options for Chinese food in the Champaign-Urbana area.

Absolutely one of the best tasting Chinese restaurants I've ever experienced. Pork in black bean sauce flavor and portion was great! Recommend.

The Moo Shu was served with flour tortillas instead of Chinese pancakes. Three stars instead of one because my friends were more amused than upset. They have a better sense of humor than me. If this is how they serve it, the menu should say so.
