C8. Chicken with Cashew Nuts
Matt M.

This is a solid 4 star Chinese restaurant! This place is a staple in Bloomington and has been around since my childhood. I ordered by phone on a Saturday night! This restaurant was busy!! I ordered a cashew chicken combination plate with pork fried rice, 1 egg roll, 1 crab Rangoon. The cashew chicken comes in a brown sauce and is delicious! The cashew chicken also includes celery, pea shoots, mushrooms, green pepper. The egg rolls are small and just a standard egg roll! My wife had the crab Rangoon and was not impressed.

A green pepper that still has the label on it

The food shown here was cooked with the price tag on my bell pepper the service was pretty good that all I have to say but just saying don't cook labels into foods

Shrimp foo young, brown rice and Happy Family

My favorite Chinese food in town. All their dishes have great flavor. They even offer brown rice as a healthy option.

C2. Orange Chicken

My go-to Chinese place! The lunch special has orange chicken, fried rice, and an egg roll for like $10 - and comes with so much food! You can't beat it. Plus the owner is very nice and always thanks me for my business whenever I'm there.

This can't be chicken!! It felt slimey ! It looks like rodent meat . I gave my dog a piece and he spit it out !

All the standards are here - beef chop suey, general's chicken, crab rangoon. The kung pao chicken stands out as great, with the right amount of spice and nuts in it. You can see can see back into the kitchen, and I saw two chefs working on disk-sled sized woks. Man! That's got to be the hardest job on earth. Kudos to the chefs at Ching's for doing a great job :D

Bought something from this Chinese restaurant in Normal as carryout. Ching's is pretty much a basic…read moreplace to get Americanized Chinese food. It has a counter to order at and a few tables. From the looks of things, most people don't want to stick around. They get it to go, and get out. About the most basic looking Chinese restaurant there is to be honest. It's sparsely decorated and has a generally boring atmosphere inside. This is located in a boring strip mall next to a gaming lounge. Go inside and order at the counter. It's about $12 for an entree. We got Szechuan Fried Tofu With Vegetable. A generous portion came in the container. The tofu was kind of chewy and overcooked. Had a pretty good spice to it. This came with cabbage, mushrooms, and pea pods. For sure if not minding the atmosphere it's a pretty okay place for cheap food. It's located on Main Street in a crappy looking plaza. There's a few things made with tofu okay for vegetarians.
