The food and service is great! Love the edamame, the big roll and Ora Roll are fantastic!

Always amazing food and service. My go-to when I visit my son at U of I. Always fresh sushi (Chicago roll is my personal favorite), as well as delicious Asian dishes (I highly recommend the stir fry).

The ambience was nice, but the food stole the show. I ordered the Solomon sushi roll and was expecting something along the lines of a run of the mill Dragon Roll, but I was pleasantly surprised. The service was attentive and on target, no pressure or upselling. Would come here again.

I've always loved this restaurant, their sushi is next level and the service is always amazing. But I recently went and got the ramen and OMG, seriously probably the best ramen I've literally ever had. They have really changed the atmosphere since they changed locations but I love that it's a little more upscale now. Perfect place for date night

Went with my friend around 6:30 on a Saturday and we were seated right away. We ordered edamame to start and split the Big roll and Volcano roll, and all of the food was very tasty! I just have to mark off a Star because the building is a converted bank and based on where your table is, it isn't the best. We sat at a two-person table next to a column, but I felt like I was half in the walkway.

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!

Lots of variety of choices on the menu, including some interesting sushi options. We were a big group and didn't have reservations, but were seated quickly. Service was prompt, too!

Honestly, I slowed down my visits to KoFusion because things seemed to slip a bit in terms of food quality, service etc. I decided to try again and now I remember why I really enjoyed this spot. Let's start with Evelyn-- our waitress, simply amazing service. She provided suggestions and was attentive! Her level of care and service started things out with the right vibe, it was only up from there! I had the white dragon at Evelyn's suggestion (sorry no photo, but the lychee was refreshing on a humid, warm day!) The cheese curds were tasty, I'd never tried them prior to today, despite all of the times I've frequented KoFusion. Tip: be sure to ask for a side of sweet chili sauce... You're welcome! I love the Flaming Phoenix, it's such a tasty roll! I even eat the lemon slices with my roll. Also had the Fuji Snow, which provides such refreshing flavor-- again perfect for a summer day! Didn't order the Chicago this time, but it is one of my absolute favorites... Finished off with my favorite dessert, crème brûlée it's well-executed here! This was a very enjoyable visit. This is the version of KoFusion that I know and love... this is the way to keep folks coming back for more! Definitely passed the vibe check!

I've been to kofusion previously and liked it a lot but I am not entirely crazy about their new location. The ambience is decidedly different at this new location - it almost seems too upscale for the cu community. Though I think their sushi and sashimi is pricey as opposed to some of my favorite LA and Seattle spots, I wanted to take my new-to-sushi experience brother and sister-in-law so we attempted to visit Wednesday night, arriving at about 8:20pm only to be told the kitchen was closed and that they were at last call for the bar. Being from places where one doesn't even go out until 7:30-8pm, I hadn't realized they closed so early and that's entirely my fault, but just now I checked the hours and learned Wednesday night closing time is 8:45pm. I'll remember that next time I go back, IF I bother to go back.
