Each time I come here I’m reminded that it is good food but not great food for those that don’t eat sushi. I come here because my husband and friends love sushi and I always get something else because I don’t eat raw fish.
This time I had the bibimbap with tofu which I think is a newer menu item. I previously would get the tofu stir fry which was good but not memorable. The bibimbap with tofu was good but not as good as other spots on campus.
Overall this is a yummy spot but wouldn’t be in my top 5 restaurants of the Champaign-Urbana area.

We brought our son here for his birthday this past weekend. We've been. trying to branch out from his stalwart faves closest to campus, so we were able to get him to come down to Ko Fusion to try something new.
First and foremost: there is a parking lot. Not the biggest lot, but we found a spot and the parking is free! Just bring in your receipt and they exchange for a parking token for when you leave.
It's a nice. large restaurant that is not very noisy so it makes for good conversation when dining. There is a covered patio for inclement weather, too! We were seated in a booth and I have to say, whoever designed the booths actually used their brains in the design. The bench seating is actually far enough away from the table so you aren't smushed up against the table. That's a huge plus!
We started with the edamame and the Sweet & Spicy Korean Chicken Wings. The edamame was nicely steamed and came with an extra bowl for the discarded pods. Our son had the wings which were huge and came with a creamy slaw on the side to diffuse the spiciness of the wings.
As for sushi, my son ordered the Rainbow roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, and the Firecracker roll. They all looked great. My wife stuck to her normal rolls: two of the Spicy Tuna. I ordered the Coconut Shrimp and Mango (hold the mango) and the Flaming Phoenix roll (also held the mango). I will say this. I have been eating sushi for over 10 years and the Flaming Phoenix is my hands down favorite of any place I have ever been. Shrimp and butterflied shrimp. It was delicious! The presentation was awesome too.
It is slightly on the pricy side, but this is definitely a more upscale place than other sushi places in Champaign and you are definitely paying for quality sushi. They were insanely fresh, flavorful, and large in size.
This is now my go to sushi in Champaign!

I had a business dinner at this place. It is decent. Their appetisers are okay, nothing over the top. Seems clean. Their cheese curds were good. The service was decent, and they were professional.
The sushi rolls were good, standard.
I wouldn’t come again to this place unless someone invites me to. Seems like a good option for a casual evening dinner.

We ordered take out and received excellent service from Aaron! His recommendations were exactly what we were looking for.
We ordered the Panang curry with tofu, Chicago, Fuji Snow, and Solomon. Everything was absolutely delish! We’ll be back again.

This place is verry worth going to!!! The staff are amazing and their service and alot of the other food is amazing. The reason im giving this place 4 stars is because the Ramen I got was very bland the broth was very bland I'd say the only redeeming quality of it was that pork belly was not dry. I did ask for it to be spicy but they probably don't make their Ramen which is their choice and I can't control that. Other than that this place is amazing just don't get the Ramen lol.

The atmosphere of their former location was a little cozier, but this is still a nice place. Had their ramen with pork belly. A little tough, but pretty good, overall.

Been coming here for 5 years, every time the food is good. UDON noodles and all the sushi rolls is our favorite. Best appetizers: edamame, Korean wings, tempura cheese curds, & the seafood spring roll. Top notch interior design as well.
Parking: You enter the parking lot and get a ticket, then the waitress gives you a coin to exit the parking lot for free.

Only complaints are the price and the tiny pieces of veggie tempura. Wings were super crunchy and had the right amount of heat
I accidentally pulled into their paid parking lot thinking it was a paid public lot. I realized my mistake immediately and went inside to ask for forgiveness and a token to get out. They wanted $10 for literally one minute. The owner was extremely rude. I asked for leniency and she came back with "$10 or we'll have you towed," and then just walked away. Another hostess came over; she was nice but said the other lady was her boss and there was nothing she could do. I was pretty livid, but I paid it.
Don't know if the food's any good, and I never will.

Delicious food and excellent service. We were happy to be seated on the patio. My Bi Bim Bob was so good...tender beef, fresh veggies, yummy crispy rice in a hot stone bowl. They happily accommodated a vegan in our party with a great stir-fry. Even easy parking and great restroom :)
