8 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“

“Delicious! Hibachi grill master was entertaining!“

“Got the large Poke Bowl with three proteins. The poke was good, but the size (for protein AND sides) was a little small considering the price. I wish that we could have had more side options within the price range and more than one sauce…“

“The food is very delicious, and the sauce is spicy, for those of us who like it spicy, a few days ago I passed by and I didn't look at the spicy sauce and I asked and they told me that if they left a tip they would add spicy sauce, I don't know if this is policy of the owners or employees.“

“High-quality food at a reasonable price. Very thorough and honest communication. Helped me choose the menu. Offered a free water bottle per order. Nice environment, though not very spacious. Will definitely go back again and hope they continue maintaining the quality of the food.“

“Order pickup sushi rolls. Terrific food! 😊“

“Tiana is literally the best! You’ll never get better service anywhere else. The food was fantastic and so was the service. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better dinning experience in my life. The Lava Trio and Grilled Salmon Ginger were phenomenal. I can’t say enough when it comes to the customer service. I’m a huge foody and dont mind spending money for good food and service. I’ve traveled all over the world and this was one of the best experiences ive ever had. Tiana was the best server I’ve ever had while dinning out and I’ve been all over the world. Truly fantastic. This place would not be the same without Tiana. She honestly puts the cherry on top.“
