" My experience at Fan-Fan was delightful! The staff were friendly and the service was quick, perfect for a college student like me. I particularly loved their spring rolls and sweet and sour fish; they were both delicious and paired well together. Although prices were higher than average, I felt the quality of food justified it. I would definitely return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Fan-Fan was fun overall, but I’ve tasted better dumplings elsewhere. While their boba drinks hit the spot, I think a few dishes, like the sweet and sour fish, could enhance their authentic touch. The atmosphere was good, and the service was friendly despite being busy. I’ll return for other dishes, but I know I can find traditional Chinese flavors in other spots. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fan-Fan combines great food with a lively atmosphere. Their selection of dishes reminds me of home, particularly the authentic tastes I craved while studying abroad. The vibe is perfect for socializing, and I appreciate that they offer something unique compared to other campus eateries. I hope they expand their drink menu; would love to see more varieties of boba! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fan-Fan is decent for a campus dining option but it isn’t without its faults. While I enjoyed the variety of choices available, I found that some of the dishes didn’t live up to the authentic taste that I was hoping for. The staff was friendly, but the service felt a little slow during peak hours. The price is also on the steeper side for a student budget, so I've been more cautious about what I order. If you go, just be smart about what you pick and don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Fan-Fan and it has quickly become my favorite place to eat on campus. The food is always fresh, and the variety of authentic Chinese dishes is impressive. I particularly enjoyed the mapo tofu, which had the perfect spice and flavor reminiscent of home-cooked meals. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cozy — a perfect spot to unwind between classes. The only thing to watch out for is the portion sizes; sometimes I leave feeling like I could eat a bit more, but overall it's a fantastic dining option! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fan-Fan can get super busy, which is a testament to its popularity, but that can come with long waits. Despite this, the staff stays friendly and efficient, making sure everyone is taken care of. The food is hit or miss; some dishes absolutely shine while others can be pretty basic. I appreciated the fast service and the atmosphere is pleasant. When it hits, it hits hard, but be prepared for some variability in what you might get on your plate. " (*Curated Review*)

" Compared to other dining spots on campus, I believe Fan-Fan stands out. The quality of food reflects care and attention, which isn't common with campus eateries. The variety they provide certainly caters to different tastes. I particularly enjoyed the braised beef, which was rich and flavorful. Service was friendly but not always prompt. One of the better spots for authentic flavors around, I’d recommend giving it a shot! " (*Curated Review*)
