| - Planned on a family lunch at The Red Herring but it was unfortunately closed due to some sort of emergency. Went to the Illini Union instead since we did not have much time to eat. From the poor restaurant selection in the Union, three of us chose Rice Garden and ordered the lunch special -- one entree, rice, an egg roll and a soda. However, when we ordered we were told that the only rice we could have was the white rice, not the fried rice and that although teriyaki chicken was there, it was not included in the lunch special. Two of us had kung pao chicken, the other orange sesame chicken.
Portions of the entree were small. The food, regrettably, was bland. My wife said nothing about her sesame chicken and the kung pao I had was flavorless and had none of the heat usually associated with the dish.
Bland food, small portions, and menu items excluded from the lunch special. Never again. If we had had a little more time we would have ventured into any one of several restaurants on Green Street which would have unquestionably provided us a better lunch.
