" I usually prefer dining in more upscale places, but Cravings has won me over with its authenticity and flavors. I feel like I’m tasting home-cooked meals, which is a rare find while living on campus. The owners are very attentive and seem to genuinely care about their customers' satisfaction. I urge anyone who loves good Chinese food to try Cravings. It's hard to beat their prices and portions! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cravings has been my staple since moving to campus! The portions are massive, and they offer plenty of authentic dishes for all tastes. I recommend the masala fish, which has a beautiful spice level that kicks in just right! The only challenge is sometimes it can get a bit crowded, so be prepared for a rush during lunch hour. Still, it's worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend Cravings enough! The authentic dishes here make my taste buds dance with joy. I usually order the fish gado gado, which is simply delicious and packed with flavors. The owners are incredibly welcoming too. Each visit feels like coming home. Don't miss out on the complimentary tea; it perfectly complements every meal. The prices are unbelievably cheap for the portions you get. It's truly a gem on campus. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cravings has become my go-to restaurant since I discovered it last semester. The portion sizes are massive, and I can easily make two meals out of one order. The chicken with garlic sauce is a standout! I will say the atmosphere isn’t the fanciest, but for a quick bite, it more than does the job. Perfect for when you're looking for something filling and tasty while studying, I just hope the staff remembers to check in on you more often. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was initially excited to try Cravings after hearing all the buzz around campus. While the price is unbeatable for the generous portion sizes, I was underwhelmed by the flavor of the dishes. I tried the general tso's chicken, but it was on the sweet side, way too far from authentic recipes I've had in the past. The service was decent, but my expectations were higher going in. Still, it was worth a visit just for the affordability. One time experience, maybe? " (*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*)
