This is really a great addition to the Champaign / Urbana area. While the cooking is not as great as Lai Lai or Golden Harbor, the dishes here are still prepared well with fresh ingredients. The best thing about the restaurant is that it is really the nicest Chinese restaurant around with Tang Dynasty also being comparable.
The first thing that will stand out to anyone is the decor. It is comfortable, traditional, and hip at the same time. Next, the silverware is for fine dining and everything from the plates to the cups and teapot all bear the restaurant name. This is pretty unique for Chinese restaurants and gives the restaurant a bit of an upscale feeling. The service is also pretty good and we were able to order in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese all in the same meal.
As for the food, they cooked common dishes like General Chicken and Sole Fillet with Chinese Greens well. Since a lot of restaurants around Champaign are in Mandarin or Szechuan style, it was nice to enjoy some dishes prepared Cantonese style. The noodles soups were light and enjoyable as well. The rice was a bit fluffier and most than most other local restaurants, suggesting that it wasn't prepared in enormous quantities.
The prices were pretty good so I'm sure I'll return again soon.
