Was "craving" bao buns and cold noodles so we came here. The pork belly steamed buns were soo delicious. The buns were super soft and way bigger than I expected. It definitely satisfied my craving!! I also got Szechuan cold noodles, which was a little bit spicy and refreshing after a hot day outside. The only downside was it did taste too gingery for my liking, but I still ate it. I also got a taro milk tea boba and it was delicious. The service was quick and the older woman working (I think might have been the owner) was very sweet. It's a small very casual restaurant with a few tables. It seems like most people likely order takeout from here. I would definitely come back for more bao buns and milk tea! read more

Happy we tried this place. Angle Parking can be tricky in front on a busy street. Very friendly woman- the mom of the owner took my order and gave it to me when I got there. Ordered 2 noodle dishes and Shrimp fried rice. We all loved the shrimp fried rice. Nice and flavorful. 6 pieces of shrimp. Bigger shrimp but kind of wished there was more. Take a pass on the Majong Noodles. Our whole family was so confused about this one. Noodles with clump of sweet peanut butter on top. Not a sauce. It reminded me of peanut butter cookie dough before the flour went in. Cute place, definitely try it! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon, after the lunch rush and before the dinner rush. As always, the food and service was fabulous! Sandy, Max and Mimi really run a great restaurant. My kids love the fresh fruit smoothies. It's great that they use fresh fruit and not flavored powders and syrups. The kids also love the kalbi here which has a nice sweetness to it. I cannot say enough about the chow fun. The beef is tender and it's not overly saucy.My favorite is the beef pancake. Not many places have this dish. I love the flakey pancake and the tender beef with the sauce. It also reheats nicely. The wings are also a must try! Such a nice place to go grab lunch or dinner in downtown Geneva. I highly recommend this place! read more

My 9 year old and I go out for dinner together every 2 weeks and last time he picked asian food. I had heard good things about Cravings in the 5 years we've been in the area but never got around to going... omg, so good! We got egg rolls, shrimp dumplings, some sort of fat noodle dish and crab rangoon. It was all delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

Service deserves 6*. So friendly and they even gave us spring rolls on the house! Every time we visit the Geneva area we come here and the menu is so big we can get something different every time. This time we were surprised to see bibimbop on their menu. Not sure if that's new but we got it and it was yummy! It was a tad sweet for me but that probably means it's good for others. The spring rolls were great. It's a small hole in the wall but they make use of the space very well. read more

I had high hopes based on the reviews but I was unimpressed with the food I ordered. I got orange chicken over rice and Thai green curry chicken. The orange chicken was bland and dry. Thai green curry chicken was fine but also a little bland. I can't comment on the service or the ambiance because I ordered it for delivery. An overall meh experience. read more

Yum yum yum!!! Tried this place out for the first time and it did not disappoint ! It is small , clean and has lots of seating ! Service was very quick and kind . Ordered the miso soup and the broth was full of flavor ! Got the crab rangoons and BBQ pork buns - both delicious . The buns were fluffed to perfection ! The portions were also HUGE ! Definitely check this place out read more

Food, service, & ambiance - all star. It's a quaint restaurant with friendly energy and amazing food. You're always greeted so warmly and wanting to try something new or get a familiar favorite everytime you go back. I absolutely love cravings and their family. I'm there almost every week haha. One of my go to meals is the kimchi :) if you like kimchi and some heat then that's for you. But I highly recommend trying anything once at least and finding what you gravitate towards the most! read more

Jia Jia's Beef Noodle Dan Dan Noodle Steamed pork bun Mango smoothie with boba The serving sizes here are huge. Each of these entrees could easily feed two. Spicy here actually means spicy; you can feel it and you might sneeze, but it won't hurt. The highlight is the pot roast style beef in the Jia Jias beef Noodle soup which is scrumptious and fall apart tender. Everything else was good, too, and this huge amount of food was only $55. read more

Used to go here and went back. Miso soup awful not up to standard hot and sour as well. The meat quality in the orange chicken and beef dish was so bad I wouldn't feed it to my pet. This place has either fallen off completely or they clearly messed up. Can no longer trust this place. read more

Incredible little spot. It definitely has a family feel inside. The food and service were outstanding. We ordered soup dumplings and bok choy for appetizers. Bother were outstanding. They brought us a complimentary scallion pancake. This was a little well done on the edges, which I appreciated. I had the Jia Jia beef noodle soup. This broth is something I have been thinking about since. Not to mention the beef melted in my mouth. I have had better noodles elsewhere, but there's were still really good. I can't wait to go back! read more

I love this place! We finally tried it for takeout and it was amazing! They have limited seating inside if you so desire. My favorite was the Dan Dan Noodle. I've not had anything similar before. A little sweet and a little spicy, great flavor blend. We also tried the Chicken Steak over Rice - fried chicken breast in a slightly sweet sauce over rice with some pickled vegetables. We had an order of the BBQ Pork Bun - a steamed bun with some fun bbq pork inside. Everyone was super nice. I thought I lost my car keys while there and they practically turned the place upside down. Oops! They were in my purse after all. I can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu. read more

Just be aware that if you order online, even if they tell you it has been delayed by 20 minutes. You will be another 30 minutes. For the 9th time I am sitting waiting over 15 minutes having been told my order will be ready after the time it was supposed to be anyway. It is a fine line between ordering your food an hour before you need it to give them time and actually the system working as it should. read more

Have been trying to find a higher quality Asian place for our carryout go to for a couple years now and Cravings appeared on my radar this past week - so it was time to give them a try ! DELICIOUS flavors with amazing quality ingredients provided a fabulous experience ! So my hubby is a "typical" sweet & sour kinda guy along with fried rice - with that in mind, I decided to pick what we ordered Orange chicken over rice was my choice to satisfy his sweet & sour preferences - it was absolutely delicious ! The chicken pieces are great bite sized and no filler breading - he LOVED it & said it was better than any sweet & sour dish he's ever had - WIN ! Fried rice - I chose the combo & you didn't have to use a magnifying glass to find the pieces of protein - shrimp were about 1" as well as nice pieces of beef and chicken - WIN ! Egg Rolls - good - nothing stood out in particular - still a win Beef bulgogi steamed - he's a meat on a carb kinda guy - so thought I'd give these a shot - we've never had them from anywhere - delicious! - another WIN ! Scallion pancakes - again satisfying that carb craving - these were tasty Lastly for me - Cravings red Curry chicken - yum yum and a WIN ! For me So we've found a place which satisfies his preferences as well as mine - THANK YOU for this fusion as it works perfect for our different favorites We ordered last night Saturday at 5:30 pm via their online ordering & it said 45 minutes 6:15pm for pickup - it was all set & ready at 6:15 when arriving there to pick it up If you have a group with varying ideas of what Asian food should be - this place handles it all with quality ingredients & great flavors read more

I've had a lot of dim sum but never seen fried bbq pork buns, so naturally we had to try them. They were so good! Not greasy at all, nice crunch on the outside and that traditional soft steam bun texture on the inside. We also ordered their pork belly steamed buns and they were good as well. One of our servers I believe may have been the owner and she was so kind. The place is small but very clean, will be back! read more

Let me just say how wonderful this restaurant is-- I am typing out this review in the middle of eating so that I don't forget to give this restaurant the rating it deserves. Firstly let me say, everything we got tasted SO GOOD. We got the wide flat noodles dish with beef, spicy pork dish, Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce, and sesame balls. Can't tell you how good it all is. On top of that, the owner and her daughter are so friendly and kind, and also gave us the pancake scallion for an appetizer on the house and it is the best I have ever eaten. If I lived in town I would be a regular but sadly I am from out of town. Please give this business a visit, you will not be sorry! read more

First time there and we want to go back already, they can't reserve a table, first come first serve, we thought we had to wait but fortunately we got a table, there's only two sweet ladies serving, cashing and handling food and still got our food in a good timing. The two ladies were very sweet and attentive, the ambience is cozy and smells very good. When we left, one of the(the owner I assume) gave us a warm hug. Such a nice lady! read more

After 1 hour walk in a forest preserve nearby, we arrived here at 11:30am. Shop was just opening, and we were immediately seated. Happy friendly lady welcomed us. Bathroom was clean and hand sanitizer bottles were conveniently provided. Our order: Vegetable Steamed Buns (3pcs) Craving Pork Cutlet Dan Dan Noodle Vegetable Steamed Buns - 5 stars They said it will take 20 minutes to cook them. We did not care at all, while we were enjoying other foods, they arrived in time. It seemed very well homemade, so soft buns and steaming hot. Very good sign. Filling was different from any other place we have been. Seasoning and creamy sauce inside were brand new to us. I am guessing their cooking style might be southern Chinese? Flavor was original and different from other Chinese restaurants in the area. I loved them and recommend them if you are looking for something different! Craving Pork Cutlet - 4.5 stars Even though the aftertaste is similar to Japanese fried pork katsu, it was still different flavor. Sauce was sweet mayo based, but not strong, so it did not interfere the pork's natural flavor itself. It came with their own meat sauce over rice, which I could not stop going back to. Vinegar pickled vegetables were nice, gentle and refreshing between each items, and they matched with all items we ordered. It looks classic and nostalgic, but I was surprised at their originality of it. Dan Dan Noodle - 5 stars The strongly smoky noodle reminded me of Thai Drunken Noodle. It has a little spicy hot taste, so while you keep eating, heat started to pile up. But there were also some fruity flavor (maybe anise?) which helped me to enjoy the spiciness more. This was the meal of the day today and I recommend it to the first comers looking for new foods with Asian twist! Our waitress lady was so friendly and peaceful. She definitely cheered up our day off. My total score was 4.5 stars. read more

This place has a few rewards being one of the top places to eat, and it is true. The service is really great wonderful place to eat with family and friends as its family owned and run. Everything on their menu is really great. I would try everything on their menu at least once I go there with my family every weekend. read more

Carry out only during Stage 4... We tried Cravings after seeing a FB post and cross referencing with the Yelp reviews. Our food was good. We tried the Chicken and Veggies over Rice and the Chicken Fries Noodles. Both come with a brown sauce. The Rice dish tastes like my mom's chop suey. It has a good flavor and a came as a pretty large portion. Make sure you stir it all up, I originally thought it was too saucy, but then I realized the sauce was just poured over the rice, it was better after stirring. The noodles dish was okay. It was bland, not bad, just not full of flavor. I would not make the drive to Cravings for take out Chinese, but if I was near Geneva and had a 'craving' for Chinese food, I'd give it another try. read more

I wouldnt actually call what they serve as Filipino food. I think they even advertise as Chinese or Pan asian food. Food is ok, not great. It's like one of those places you can go to locally when you are looking for some asian comfort food and you are lazy to make something at home so you just settle for the next best thing in the neighborhood. The food isn't bad, it will do and it will satisfy the cravings. (pun intended) read more

Placed order online and received confirmation text that my food is ready. Went to the counter to pick up the food and the lady working there first told me that they don't have my order like it was my fault, then she told me that she found my name but that it was going to take another 15 mins. When I was waiting for my order by the pick up window, standing out of peoples way, the same lady kept telling me to sit down because she doesn't want the kitchen seeing me standing and "thinking that something is wrong." When my food was finally ready, the lady placed on a table behind the counter and gestured for me to get it with her hands. Worst customer service I've ever experienced in a restaurant. read more

Three stars is a-okay in my book and is not a negative review. It means a place is perfectly fine. Cravings has a bunch of labeled vegan items and serves above-average, fresh, light Chinese and Taiwanese food. It's similar in flavor and ingredients to Hot Pan in Batavia, but has a larger menu. The vegetable spring rolls ($4) failed to impress, with mushy, flavorless filling and a starchy wrapper. The scallion pancake ($8) was nicely done, though: crispy with a good amount of green onion. I wasn't impressed with the mixed vegetables with garlic ($8) which seemed like steamed vegetables in a watery sauce with diced garlic. They gave me this dish as they'd run out of their equivalent Chinese broccoli dish. The curry vegetable soup ($13) is vegan by default and had a good curry flavor, albeit a watery sauce and too much celery. I wish it had had fried tofu or seitan in it. If Cravings added a few substantial tofu dishes (it only has one tofu dish, mapo), I'd visit more often. If you're looking for good, but Americanized Chinese fare, check out East China Inn (specifically the Wilson Street location in Batavia, not the other ones) or Chamber Red Bistro in St. Charles. Hot Pan in Batavia, as mentioned earlier, is similar, but has less variety. read more

Cravings has become our go to restaurant for asian food. Food is always delicious cooked just the way we like it.

First time trying Cravings, and I was pleased with our experience. We ordered take out, but hope to dine in soon. Both items we ordered (Shrimp with Vegetables over Rice and Seafood Miso Soup) were excellent, and we would order them again. PROS: -Food was ready when we were told it would be. -Food was still very hot when we opened up containers at home. -Good portions. -Good flavor. -The texture of the noodles in the soup were delicious! CONS: -No brown rice offered. -One piece of shrimp was not deveined. -Pricey. -Wait time was pretty long, but we were ordering on a Saturday night. For reference, we ordered at 6pm and it was ready at 7:20pm. read more
