We came during weekday lunchtime. The server was very friendly and attentive. I love their lunch special——many options at fair prices. I ordered the beef soup. Rice was included. The food tastes like homemade dishes and not too salty.

I really enjoyed the pork bulgogi and ojingeo bokkeum (spicy stir-fried squid), but the flavor of the kimchi jjigae didn’t quite suit my taste.

Fat Sandwich is such a staple of UIUC. I’ve only ever gotten the Fat MILF and it’s all I could ever want in a sandwich. I’m so glad that it’s still around (I graduated in 2017). ILL!

This are a go-to late night spot. The names are funny and the sandwiches are really good. One thing I really liked was that they let you control the aux. This means you can catch a stray vibe when you dine in. The place is decorated cool and I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some grub after going to the bars.

This restaurant is in YMCA, serving decent Thai & Chinese food, which only open at lunch time 10:30-3:30. I didn't know this place before, but it turned out that I'm having very good experience with their food. They offer a very large serving of food and the taste is very good. The price is ~$10 per plate including Rice/PadThai + 2 toppings + 1 eggroll/drink. However, they only have ~8 dishes. Overall, I like the place and would recommend it.

I have loved and frequented this spot for over 25 years. Today was the first time I have been back since the new owner took over. I am sorry I didn’t get his name but he was delightful. I bought 5 orders of shrimp pad Thai for myself and my family. The new packaging and portion size were amazing! The pad Thai was even better than I have ever had. I can tell the products are quality and the spice was perfect. I am so glad I came in today and so is my family who was able to drive home over an hour and half and heat it up. Would highly recommend and will be back!

Are at the mini version underneath the Illini Union. I had the chicken & shrimp teriyaki with fried rice and it was made perfectly. Everything was made fresh and you can see them cooking your food incase you’re worried. Props to the chef today he did an amazing job.

I was taken by surprise with the quality and taste of the food here at Thai Fusion. The lady taking our order was very pleasant and helpful in explaining the dishes. The food portions were great and the heat levels were just right. I have had a lot of good Thai food but this was top level. Curry Fried Rice with Beef and Pad Ped.

Review written 11/02/2024. Quick service for pickup orders and usually made accurately. Nice rewards program with deals and coupons. Only con of this location is limited parking as it is on campus.

Had an amazing mouth watering rigatoni rose veggie pasta . Loved the subtle flavour . A must try .

Hands down the best hotpot in Champaign! The quality here honestly rivals some of the best hotpot places I’ve been to in Chicago, but at a better price. The environment is clean, cozy, and super welcoming. I especially love the Wagyu beef, a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the quality. Everything tastes amazing, and the value you get is unbeatable.

This new hot pot restaurant is a gem. The food is fresh and flavorful, with rich broths and a great variety of ingredients and sauces. What really stands out is the interior decor—elegant, modern, and inviting. It creates a perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!

Delicious house made noodles with a nice view of Green Street for people watching. The restaurant itself is fairly casual and sparsely decorated but clean. You order from a digital menu which consists of a range of mainly noodle dishes and rice bowls. I had the braised beef noodle soup with egg noodles and found it delicious. The noodles were perfectly chewy and springy, and paired well with the rich, flavorful broth and well spiced (although somewhat dry) meat). The portion was huge (for my appetite at least, I say others devour the same dish) and left plenty of leftovers. I do wish it came with a few more toppings to balance out the heaps of noodles.

Solid authentic Chinese fast food option. Food is fresh and cooked well. Portions are large and about what you’d expect to get for the price. Atmosphere is like a cafe and less like a restaurant. The menu on the wall is only in chinese though.

We had a great lunch! Used the kiosk to read the menu and order on our time. So much to read! Large portion sizes! We couldn't even finish our lunch. Excellent taste. Fresh and delicious!

The bibimbap is good and generously sized. They give a lot of rice in it though, I wish that there were more veggies/toppings in comparison.

09/10/2024 they have the vegetarian version of the orange chicken, as “Beyond orange chicken” and it was on my bucket list to get it again because it’s so delicious. I’m so grateful to Panda Express for bringing it back, and I’m hopeful they’ll keep it around this time. Pros: -friendly employees on 9/10/2024 visit although they were going to serve everyone else first they didn’t have my food cooked yet so I had to ask to at least pay first and not be totally skipped in line -they have the Beyond orange plant based chicken! -plenty of seating in the mall food court -cool fortunes in fortune cookies 🥠 -Panda express rewards app can be scanned here Cons: -they didn’t have any of the Beyond orange ready and so I had to wait for them to cook it -the ice water tasted weird and not fresh water

Affordable and good portion size.

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

Used to love this place. But last time we went there, it took forever for our sushi to be served and the sushi wasn't good. I'm pretty sure they didnt use sushi rice. The taste was bland and sushi was cold.

My favorite part of the experience is the atmosphere. The big bowl of fake ramen in the front, the wall decorations, the lanterns was just so beautiful and so much to look at! Never ending eye wander. I got the vegetarian ramen and my hubby got the curry ramen and both was delicious. Ageshi tofu was tasty and the fried calamari was just OK. I didn't really like the sauce. Broth was delicious and noodle was great. One thing I noticed is that they kept refilling our water which I love. Sometimes the servers never refill my water and I have to ask but not this place. None stop service. Everything was great. Will definitely come back for some more delicious ramen!

I came here hungry for some savory Ramen and left pretty disappointed. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and was sorely disappointed by it. The broth was weak and flavorless and the noddles were just okay. The eggs were really good but that's not good enough for a $16 meal.

Cashew chicken is unreal delicious — best I’ve ever had. I recommend paying a few more dollars for double chicken. Green curry is also superb. I grew up in Southeast Asia having alot of good Thai, and this place never disappoints. Food tastes really authentic and not over sweetened like many Thai restaurants in the U.S. tend to do. Have tried other Thai places in the area like “Sticky Rice” and it doesn’t even come close to here.

Highly popular joint for anyone who likes Thai food. Super fast service with a smile. One of the few places which has genuinely spicy food. Pad thai noodles and green curry with rice recommended. The crab cakes are just awesome. Clean place. Good portions as well. Standard place for students. Reasonably priced as well. One of the iconic places for all students .
