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!

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.

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.

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!

I’ve been coming here for around 10 years except for the time when covid first hit and during my time as a vegan and I’ve always found the owner and his family super polite. They always seem happy and to appreciate your business. They are able to help you make selections and are very open to customizing your order for spice levels or for some vegetables. However, I’ve become stuck on the fish masala. It’s just too good. A nice little spice level, very lightly battered or breaded fish and green bell peppers, carrots and onions. All seasoned with a masala or curry like flavor. I highly recommend it and the restaurant. It’s very affordable, always has complimentary tea and water and the portion size gives me two full meals.

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.

I LOVED Cravings when I was studying at UIUC. Their chicken in garlic sauce is delicious. Huge quantities as well. I also loved their steam pok choy. I can’t wait to come back and eat here. Also I loved the friendly staff.

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.
