Northern Cuisine is a chinese restaurant in Champaign, Illinois. It is listed at 404 E Green St, Champaign, IL 61820, which places it among the local businesses of Champaign that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Champaign; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Illinois are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 amβ9:30 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (217) 607-1299. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is northerncuisineuiuc.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
On Google it holds a rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 788 reviews, which is a strong result for a chinese restaurant in Champaign and suggests consistent service.
Champaign is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. Traffic in Champaign peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then.

(OVERALL RATING 9.2 / 10) On August 8, 2026, I visited Northern Cuisine on Green Street in Campus-town. The establishment is tucked away nicely on Green Street; you can miss the entrance if youβre not careful. Upon entering, the music plays both Asian (Tradition Asian) and American (Lady Gaga) music; it is not loud and sets off a good afternoon vibe. The floors and tables were clean. Both bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The lighting for each table is interesting; there is a beam of soft life that goes toward the table rather than out. This allows there to be lighting, but not blinding light . We thought this was a nice touch. As far as food: we had 2 black hot teas, which came in a nice size mug. The Scallion pancakes were light, thin, crunchy, and most importantly, not oily. Soft tofu and scallion salad had nutty flavor which was very delicious. The Crispy pork sweet and sour was flavorful; almost like a pork rind texture. The Salted egg yolk with Japanese tofu was light, buttery, soft and juicy; it was excellent. I feel it is important to note that the portions are very large. The reason I came here was someone mentioned to me that this was a traditional restaurant; not A

Great music, comforting food, lovely service. Highly recommend the tofu and scallion salad for a light and refreshing appetizer and the black pepper beef for a tenderly cooked, perfectly sweet main dish generously scattered with crunchy veggies.

The dishes were excellent. They were some of the best Chinese food I have had. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The waitress was friendly, attentive, and provided great service. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food. The only downside was the parking. It was difficult to find a nearby parking spot, which made getting to the restaurant a bit inconvenient. Other than that, it was a great dining experience, and I would definitely return.

We absolutely love Northern Cuisine! The food is incredibly authentic and full of flavorβit really reminds us of true Northern-style dishes you donβt easily find elsewhere. Every dish weβve tried has been delicious and consistently well-prepared. We make it a point to come here whenever we visit our son at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and itβs become one of our favorite spots in the area. The restaurant is almost always full, which says a lot about how good it is! If youβre looking for authentic cuisine and a place that locals clearly love, this is definitely a must-visit.
