I always try my hand at Asian cuisine but mine is just not as good as there's...not even close. Egg rolls, YUMM!! Sushi, Yesss! Shrimp fried rice, you don't even have to ask. Amazing! My biggest problem is figuring out what to order. If you're in Springfield, stop by Hunan's. They are the best traditional Asian cuisine in town.

So, we accepted it and still got the egg roll with the General Toa's Chicken. The other order was Seafood and vegetables which was very undercooked. The waitress didn't like it but sent it back. I got Broccoli and beef as a replacement and the beef was nearly raw. The waitress both times tried to explain how it was cooked, so got a to go container to take home to cook later. I guess it was the manager that came by after they brought the ticket and asked if everything was OK. I told him it was not, but he really didn't care and still charged me for the uncooked food very disappointed and poor service and communications.

I am sort of divided on this place…read more First, we stopped by and upon arrival I realized this is much more of a carry-out place than a sit-in place. They have tables to sit and eat, but there definitely isnt any sort of table service. If you are looking for that go somewhere else. The woman taking the orders (who I assume is the owner) was very friendly, but they were clearly extremely busy. We placed our order then ended waiting almost an hour for the food to be ready. Many people came in and picked things up while we waited so it became pretty obvious that the best thing to do is call ahead. My decision is still out on the food. I ordered a variety of things to try to get a true sense of the quality. Jumbo shrimp with vegetables, roast pork friend rice, moo goo gai pan and vegetable lo mein. I ordered large size in everything so I would have leftovers and the total came to about $32 which is really reasonable. I have to say that the flavor wasnt really where I expected it to be. The best item was the fried rice, but I think that might be because fried rice is hard to do wrong. The other three had pretty mild, bland flavors. I realize that the moo goo gai pan and shrimp w/ veg have a pretty mild sauce to begin with, but there just wasnt much of a flavor at all. On the plus side the shrimp really were jumbo and of really good quality as was the chicken. The lo mein was good, lots of vegetables, but could have used more flavor as well. Jury is out, must return and get more flavor-intensive items to give a better review.

Don't order the Mongolian beef. It's horrible. It's all mushrooms. Hardly any onions n beef. A…read morewaste of 15 bucks.

Unlike other BBQ buffets where you order at the table, this restaurant allows you to select your food directly from the buffet bar, which I found convenient. There's no time limit, and the restaurant was pleasantly uncrowded, which I really appreciated. Overall, it was a great dining experience with delicious food. I'll definitely return if I'm in the area again.

We each ordered different entrees, but both of us found our meals to be inedible and left our soups and plates largely untouched. As if this wasn't enough of an indication what we felt about our food, the server offered us carryout boxes which we declined. In this situation, I believe most restaurants would ask why we hadn't eaten our meals and might even offer a price reduction. Nothing of the sort at China Pavilion, so a $40 lesson about where not to eat in Taylorville!
