23 Best Chinese Restaurants in Champaign

“I had an amazing dining experience at this Chinese grill fish restaurant. Their signature dish, the grilled fish, was an absolute delight. The perfect combination of traditional Chinese spices and seasonings made each bite a flavorful journey. The fish itself was tender and flaky, practically melting in my mouth. It's definitely a taste of home, and I highly recommend this spot for a comforting meal shared with loved ones or a solo indulgence in delicious Chinese cuisine.“

“It was soooo goooood

The crunchies of the fried red peppers the peanuts the green peppers

Then the salty egg tofu was so nice and salty but sweet and the temp is so warm it’s like eating yummy soup with no liquid

The fried sweet and sour pork was okay“

“My friend and I came in for dinner and had a fantastic time. The restaurant was beautiful, and we were seated as soon as we walked in. The menu was by QR code, which was convenient for a hot pot restaurant because you could order more food at any time. The menu also had suggested cook times for every ingredient which was helpful as this was our first time getting hot pot. We got the ribeye, a portion of noodles, a vegetable plate, and a tomato soup base. The soup base was delicious! The staff were super nice as well, they were very friendly and would frequently come over to check on us. Overall, it was a very good experience and I am very excited to return with more friends. We dined for approximately 2 hours.“

“The perfect local hole in the wall, locally owned place. Pho broth was exquisite, the seafood plentiful, fresh rolls perfect, chicken and broccoli sauce on point and pad Thai exemplary. The chili oil is really well done too. 10/10 Would recommend.“

“We were just passing through on a road trip and were really craving decent Chinese food. Where we were visiting we ordered from a Chinese food place and it was so terrible we took one bite each and threw it away. On the other hand this little hole in the wall held up to the good reviews. My husband got general tsos and I got sesame chicken. My husband got pork fried rice with his combo and (through some miscommunication) I got plain fried rice. Both of our meals were excellent though I do wish I had gotten the pork fried rice. Our chicken was flavorful and crisp (not soggy which we hate) and I had even forgotten to say EXTRA spicy when ordering but it was still really good and packed with flavor. We also got crab rangoons which were the best I’ve had in years, they were actually so full with crab, I was going to take a picture to show it off but I didn’t have my phone handy. And lastly the egg rolls that came with our meals were delicious. We got way more than we bargained for at a crazy low price. I could only eat half a portion of my meal with the edition of the crab Rangoon I had and the egg roll I had, but we still have two egg rolls left. Half an order of rangoons and each of us half a meal left. We were shocked at the portions for the price. Where we’re from we typically spend $50 or more for our usual Chinese order and they don’t come with egg rolls. This place I think we spent about $35. All around a solid place we will return to when passing through again.“

“I miss this place the most out of all things from Champaign. I think I had lunch here every single day for a semester. Sometimes I went here three times in a day.
Amazing place.
Amazing food.
Amazing staff.

I had eaten every single food from the menu, and here are some recommendations i remember:
Fish gado gado
Hot and spicy diced chicken
Pork belly with fermented mustard leaves
String beens
Salt and pepper beef

when you cant decide what to get, just ask the old uncle for a recommendation and don't question him. never disappointed me a single time.“

“The dining environment is good, and every food is very good! Parking is convenient and there is no charge.“

“This is one of my go-to places to eat when I really don't feel like cooking. They have so many options available for tofu and vegetable dishes. You only need to specify vegan (no fish/oyster sauce) when ordering and everything should be good! It is pretty affordable for the portions, so I have ordered food from here on multiple occasions. My favorite dishes are the Kung pao tofu and the tofu with broccoli.“

“Awesome restaurant! I am a huge ramen and noodle eater and have eaten many places, this is definitely a favorite. Their food is phenomenal. Some of the best I’ve had. 100% recommend stopping by here! Great atmosphere, easy to order, and quick service!“

“Fantastic lunch special prices and the portion sizes are always large which is just a bonus as I can usually do two meals out of one meal order. Great, friendly service and always quick with our order, either online or in person. Clean dining area and very open with nice decor. Definitely worth the 5 stars!“

“I ordered the beef fried rice I asked for no onion and you gave me plenty of onions that shows you don't give a damn I am not going to shop with you I work for AT&T and I'm going to post it on Snapchat I'm going to post it on everything I know to make you guys be ruined I called you several times tonight and you refuse to answer my call thanks to you I know what you are about“

“We prefer takeout from EVO any day rather than the P place. The EVO dishes change every day?!!! EvO just tastes better and is a really good value for the lunch special plates. The staff are as friendly as expected, generous on serving sizes, and fast.

Parking: Busy section of campus so be prepared to walk.“

“Sammy and her husband do a great job! Their Crab Rangoon is the best in the CU area! They have lunch portions that are still able to serve 2. Sammy always remembers my friend and I (calling us by name). They only use fresh vegetables!
This China King is independently owned. They are not connected to any other China Kings.
Keep up the good work!“

“The people who run this place are the best. I love them. They're also open late and do delivery through Uber eats. They may offer in house delivery as well. I recommend showing them some love by giving them your business. Give them a try!“

“We've been going here for several months now and have never been disappointed ? the food is always good and fresh, especially the Jasmine rice is so good ? we were originally introduced to Super Wok by my partner's work because they'd bought from here for the employees several times, so I can attest to their catering as well and everyone there really loves the food as well!

Recommend the Orange Chicken, and the Mongolian Beef. The fortune cookies are so good too ?“

“This food was delicious!!! We had orange chicken and barbeque pork with mixed veggies. Excellent!“

“Parking: There are about four total, maybe a bit more, accessible spots along the front row of the mini mall that Panda is in front of.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking RIGHT outside the door, easy to get in and out with a walker!“

“09/10/2024 they have the vegetarian version of the orange chicken, as “Beyond orange chicken” and it was on my bucket list to get it again because it’s so delicious. I’m so grateful to Panda Express for bringing it back, and I’m hopeful they’ll keep it around this time.

Pros:
-friendly employees on 9/10/2024 visit although they were going to serve everyone else first they didn’t have my food cooked yet so I had to ask to at least pay first and not be totally skipped in line
-they have the Beyond orange plant based chicken!
-plenty of seating in the mall food court
-cool fortunes in fortune cookies ?
-Panda express rewards app can be scanned here

Cons:
-they didn’t have any of the Beyond orange ready and so I had to wait for them to cook it
-the ice water tasted weird and not fresh water“

“i thought that the food selections were great. the food was hot and displayed well. we will definitely go back again.“

“My partner and I have ordered Shiquan delivery for years and we love it. We always order the mouth numbing wontons, bokchoy, and cabbage. We went in-person once and the portions were massive! The space is very small, and they're clearly tailored more for delivery than in-service, but they did just fine and we'd have happily gone back, just haven't gotten around to it. They're our comfort lazy order-in restaurant in town.“

“Many Chineses told me this is not traditional Chinese foods, bit American style Chineses food. Whatever, I super like it. The only downside is that they ran out of some dishes, including walnut shrimp, maybe due to summer vacation time of the universality.“

“Extremely fast food prep time and hood quality. I had trouble deciding what to order because there were so many good choices. I would love to come back!

Vegetarian options: There are lots of vegetarian options for entrées. I only saw one vegetarian appetizer, however. Still very accessible for vegetarians overall.“

“This Chinese restaurant exceeded all of my expectations. The food is bursting with authentic flavors and prepared to perfection with a very affordable price.l. The ingredients were fresh, and the balance of spices was just right.

The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. If you’re looking for incredible Chinese food, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!“
