This place is a family owned restaurant with a rapport that is unmatched in Champaign. My dining experience was exceptional, due to the family friendly vibes and the hospitable staff. I had a spicy, curry chicken dish that was recommended by the owner. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of my dish but believe me when I say it was delicious. The spice was not overpowering and the flavors were very robust. The price was very affordable, there are very few things on the menu over $10. After receiving my food, the owner personally came over to my table and asked if I liked the food. He stated that he wanted to be sure that I enjoyed it. This was very nice of him and it made me feel appreciated that I decided to dine here with my friends.
I went during peak dinner times, so the place was packed. I did find the overcrowded dining area to be a bit overwhelming, but the food made up for that. This is also indicative of just how good the food is! One thing that I don't like is that fact that you have to stand in line and place your order at the register before being seated. I would've preferred a waiter. For your first time, be sure to review the menu before going for this very reason. I lucked up and trusted the owner's recommendation. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. If you are in the mood for some good Chinese food you must try this place out.
