C-U La La Noodle — Restaurant in Champaign

If you don't mind a lady who seemed rude, environment that is not as fancy as the beautifully decorated restaurant. Just the flavor of the food, they are great.

I visited this place twice this week. I vaguely remember their dumplings look like homemade when we had the delivery.

I think it is one of the best Chinese restaurants in this area, with lower price than...

TIP: call the restaurant to order or order there because the menu is much cheaper than through a delivery app or yelp

I've been here multiple times now and I have to say that it's become my go to for inexpensive authentic Chinese food in CU. Almost everything I've had has exceeded expectations. It's feels like comfort food to me, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The dine in experience is very casual and I usually get to-go. The place is a little hard to find, but once you've been there it's worth...
