Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

Let me start by saying that, for the first 24 years of my life, I had zero experience with Chinese food. My parents are meat-and-potatoes people, and Chinese carryout was simply not a part of my upbringing. Enter my Chinese-American husband, who grew up on the stuff (naturally) and can cook it like nobody's business. This (lengthy) disclaimer is basically to tell you that I am not an educated critic of Chinese food, so it's based on whether or not I liked it. I have no way to judge how "authentic" someplace is. All that said, Bo Bo is pretty good. It's a campus town take-out type place, although they do have a dining room and a few tables, so you can eat there if you choose. They have a very extensive menu, printed in English, Chinese, and Korean. The menu has every Chinese food item you can think of, and many that you probably can't (and here I am thinking specifically of a dish, whose name I cannot remember at the moment, involving fried pork intestines. I'm told it's good, although my Leviticus 11 Diet prohibits me from partaking). My favorite item here, though, is the bubble tea. I don't know how they do it, but they make the best bubble tea I've had. I've tried replicating it at home, and simply can't do it, so, much to my chagrin, when I get a BTC (bubble tea craving), I hop in the car, drive to campus, finagle a parking spot, feed the meter, go get my bubble tea, and repeat the process. It's a lot of trouble to go to for bubble tea, but it's THAT good. I did take off a star because they don't always have the bubble tea. One (very busy) day last month I was running errands; it was cold, it was rainy, I was tired, and all of a sudden, I was siezed by a powerful BTC. I was sort of near campus anyway, so I drove over there, finagled a parking space, fed the meter, went in, ordered, and was told that they didn't have any bubbles cooked. Unfortunately, I simply didn't have the time that day to wait half an hour for the bubbles to get cooked, so I ordered the tea sans bubbles, which was still pretty good. However, I was annoyed that they charged me the full price. I thought I should have gotten a discount for a bubble-less bubble tea, but I didn't have the time or inclination to press the issue. Hopefully, that was just a one-time occurrence, and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I went to this place with my friend whom I hoped to catch up with. After pointing at every restaurant and choosing one we had both never gone to, we found ourselves at Bo Bo China. I don't know if this is an unwritten rule or custom, but I figured somebody on staff would recognize two people who had no idea what was going on. With little guidance, I pushed us along and we found a seat in back on those sticky, red vinyl benches. We went towards the buffet and got one of each thing. The food was all pretty bland and there was no definitive winner of the choices, or one that was even slightly above average. And then it happened. I glanced down at my foot and saw a cockroach about the size of my pinky crawling around my feet. Suddenly, I had lost my appetite. I didn't have the heart to tell my partner what I had just witnessed since it was my idea to go to this hut in the first place. We just conversed over tea, the one beacon of clouded hope in a desolate, unsanitary wasteland. As we walked out, I flagged down a member of the staff, and she almost seemed surprised when we asked to pay our bill. Is this like a donation-based service? Even, if that was the case, I still wouldn't recommend it.

I've only ordered delivery from here through a 3rd party site so I can't comment on their location but I've liked 6 or 7 different items that I've ordered. Their delivery isn't the fastest but I've ordered during busy times (usually about an hour to get food). Yesterday, my food took over an hour and a half to arrive. The restaurant never brought it up but the 3rd party website emailed me a $5 credit without me complaining or asking for it. Mimimum order requirement for delivery is $8 which is lower than most and delivery costs $2. Beef Curry is great here but that's just based on my taste so who knows if you'll like it or not.

I got this delivered. It was OK. I'm sure there are better Chinese places in CU.
(2)Daniel R.
Never again. It took two and a half hours for my food to be delivered. I got the dumplings, when they finally arrived I ate one, spit it out, and threw out the rest. They tasted vile.

My mom never walked out on a restaurant - until the day we stepped into Bo Bo China. Bo Bo China didn't know what to do with themselves when my family and I said we DIDN'T want to eat their buffet , which was sad looking, and we wanted to order from their regular menu. We were handed some poorly copied paper menus and sat down in the pretty empty restaurant. Apparently there's an unspoken rule here that you either go for the buffet or order takeout, because the lack of service was offensive and we were hungry. The buffet also had flies buzzing about it. Never again will I come here, which isn't a loss since there's another Chinese restaurant next door and one across the street. What is up with this stretch of Green St. in Champaign, IL and their Chinese restaurants?

As much as I love my Chinese heritage, I will not dishonor it by writing a good review about Bo Bo China. Let me put it this way, I have eaten here about 3 times in the past four years, and after my last time... well it is going to stay the last time. I ordered a spicy chicken with fried rice combo which arrived in a hour to my workplace. Since it was busy i was only able to eat 1/3rd of it. The next day at home I heated up another third of it. And finally on Sunday, I ate the final third. AS I WAS FINISHING THE LAST COUPLE OF BITES: I FOUND A COCKROACH IN IT... AUGHHHH The cockroach had been cooked with the dish and I guess settled with the sauce to the bottom of the takeout box. I had a moment where I thought I should be vomiting uncontrollably. But thanks to my superb nerves of steel i calmly spit out the food I had been chewing and proceeded to scrub my mouth out. Dry heaves ensued. I am never eating here again. I am one to hate asian stereotypes about subpar kitchen cleanliness but this one takes the cake. Honestly? A cockroach? *Sigh*

It is the only restaurant in the Champaign area that serves authentic northern Chinese food. If you are from northern China, you can't miss it.

I can overlook a slow delivery order that mixed up crab rangoon with egg rolls, but the final straw was getting bubble-less bubble tea. We ordered it and it came out as basically a sugar slurry. I asked the people working there where the bubbles were and they said they didn't have any. Would have been nice to know before I ordered...

I'd recommend order based on the menu they posted on their counter, not the regular menu they handed to you. The menu on the counter contains very delicious dishes that are not included in the regular menu. I recommend their spicy stir fried pod - best in town. They also offer Bao every Thursday, which is another good choice. Their service is just OK, and the place can get noisy, so don't expect too much on those.

Very authentic northern Chinese food. It has homemade buns (Beef, pork, seafood, vegetarian) every Thursday night starting at 5 PM. You may want to order Ahead because it runs out very quick. But this place serve food very slow and the staff it's just okay.
(3)James B.
I would give it zero stars if I could. I went in at 7pm (prime buffet hours) and they barely had any food. And the little food that they did have was nothing spectacular. My favorite dish was probably the chicken wings...at a Chinese restaurant. Try to avoid this place if you can.
