" I had often heard from friends about Cravings, and finally decided to check it out. The experience was enjoyable, and the staff was warm. I tried the crispy tofu and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. The rice portions are generous, and it was a truly affordable meal. Keep in mind, if you are looking for a fancy dining experience, this place may not be it. Still, the food delivers every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for the first time and was blown away by the dishes! The vegetable chow fun was perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. Plus, I got extra tofu just for asking, which I greatly appreciated. While the atmosphere is basic, the food quality makes up for it. Definitely coming back soon! The prices are suitable as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came across Cravings while exploring campus and it was an excellent choice! The flavors were vibrant, and the portions were quite generous. I loved that they had a Chinese menu alongside the Americanized options; it felt like I was getting the real deal! The only downside is the ambiance could use some sprucing up, but it's definitely worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the worst experience dining at Cravings. The general tso’s chicken I received tasted stale, and to make matters worse, the service was disinterested. I understand it can be busy, but a little courtesy can go a long way. The soup was overly salty, and I couldn't finish my meal. Regrettably, I won’t be visiting again anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The servings are huge, and the flavors are rich, taking me back to my time dining in China. The owner and his family are super friendly and passionate about their restaurant. I tried their special masala fish, and it was bursting with flavors! The atmosphere was cozy—ideal for students wanting to escape their dorms. It's definitely a go-to for anyone seeking authentic dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Cravings and I was impressed! The General Tso's chicken was delicious, but I found the sauce to be on the sweet side—still really enjoyable though. I liked the vibe of the restaurant, it was busy but friendly. The portions were enough for me to take home leftovers, which is always a plus. Would definitely return to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience at Cravings! The hot and sour soup was a perfect appetizer, spicy and tangy. For mains, I ordered the orange chicken—good, but I wished there was more depth to the flavor. The service was prompt, seating was tight, and the vibe was upbeat. I will definitely come back, even if it’s just for the soup! " (*Curated Review*)
