5 Best Japanese Restaurants near Champaign

“I have eaten here three times now and I just love this place more and more. The omakase is out of this world. Ken is a true sushi master and the level of dedication and expertise can be tasted with every bite. The location is a bit of a hidden hole in the wall. The plaza is pretty nondescript but once you step through, the decor and vibe is full on authentic Japanese sushi bar. I am so tempted to keep this spot a secret so reservations won’t become too hard to get but honestly Ken deserves the shout out.“

“Such a nice place to visit! Staffs are very friendly and always has an energy. The foods were excellent as well. I had bunch of rolls and I love salmon and the quality of the fish were so good. Very fresh :) I would definitely come here again“

“Some of the best Midwest sushi available. I am really picky about tuna because I lived in Aomori Japan and I really enjoyed their tuna. The takoyaki is also authentic and very tasty. All of the staff is really lovely. It is a small space, but quite cozy. I miss their previous location, but everything here is just as good. Highly recommend“

“I love Pokè. Maybe that should be my review and that's enough lol It was so so good. I mean absolutely delicious! Comes with a miso soup and that totally hit the spot. You go in and fill out what you want, then you bring it to the cashier to pay. 8 mins later, your food is ready. Super fast, super delicious and enough seating for my family of 4 with plenty of booths left. Portion was a bit on the smaller side. I wish they would give just a tad bit more rice. Not even the ingredients, just a bit more rice because we were still kinda hungry after the entire meal with the soup. Overall, pretty damn good but not enough for dinner and I don't even eat alot.“

“Delicious! Hibachi grill master was entertaining!“
