The food is always delicious. This is the second or third visit, though, with slow service from the bar. For such a large seating area, they may need to invest in more bar staff.

Really good Asian fusion food. It was very busy during Dad's weekend so the service was a bit slow. Still very good choice any other time

Service was a bit spotty and I suspect our server was new. But the food is tremendous and the portions of the appetizers, salads and stir-fry were all generous. Definitely will try to get back when in the area again.

The best thing about this place is the servers, who are severely underpaid so they have a high turnover. The food is just okay and extremely overpriced. $26 for ramen? I’ve had better out of a food truck. Not worth the money at all. Be prepared to spend $50 pp - so if you’re trying to impress a date, you better have a fat wallet. Will not be returning.

This is one of our favorite restaurants and we will continue to dine here. Our service tonight was below our expectations, but it was extremely busy and we believe our server was new and perhaps needed more training. The food is excellent, the restaurant is clean and the service is normally very good.

The food is always amazing. The presentation is not only outstanding, but the taste and quality are superb. Drinks were amazing, but very slow to get. The waiter was very nice, but very slow. I think he was new and learning, but service did take a while. Highly recommend KoFusion for a great meal, beautiful and wonderful atmosphere, and wonderful drinks.

Sushi is the best in CU. Bowls and other offerings are also excellent. One of Champaign’s best and unique restaurants.

Food was amazing! However, the service was horrible. They did not bring out an appetizer we ordered and two of us received our entrees about 15 minutes before the rest of the table.
