    One of my new favorite places in Champaign! Home for the holidays and the family wanted something cozy that would meet our dietary restrictions/preferences and this was perfect! We all got ramen bows and agreed they were delicious, down to every last fix-in and side. It's pretty small inside but very cute and peaceful. Got everything we needed from the service with consistent water/tea refills, plus the option for noodle refills? Didn't take them up on that this time but it's a great idea. Will definitely recommend to everyone I know in the area!!

    Tofu stir fry with miso soup
    Adria H.

    What a fantastic place!! I'm visiting my daughter in Champaign and drove past this place on Neil street and decided to give it a try for lunch today! I wish I had taken pictures of the inside and dining area, when you step inside you feel like you are stepping into a special place. The young man at the front area was so kind and greeted me right away. I asked if I could make an order to go, he said of course and offered me the to go menu and a seat while I looked it over. There are MANY delicious options with pictures for all of the dishes (I appreciated this because I am not very familiar with Japanese food). I decided on the tofu stir fry and they prepared it very quickly for me, and the woman who brought it me was very sweet and thanked me for my order, and sent me on my way with the cutest to go bag that is thermal liner and reusable!! When I got to my daughter's house I saw that they packed everything I'd need in the bag! (Napkins, chop sticks, a spoon and fork and soy sauce) The dish was absolutely delicious!! I will definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

    Pork belly tonkotsu shoyu ramen and Thai iced tea

    Ittonken Ramen is a hidden gem! I stopped in for lunch and ordered the fried dumplings and the pork belly tonkotsu shoyu ramen--both were outstanding. The dumplings were perfectly crispy on the outside with a juicy, flavorful filling. The tonkotsu shoyu broth was rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, with tender pork belly that melted in my mouth. It came with a side of super fresh kimchi and seaweed that added the perfect tangy and umami punch. Best part? The ramen is refillable if you dine in (though one bowl was more than enough for me--super generous portion!). The staff was friendly, the vibe was cozy, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving top-tier ramen. I'll definitely be back!

    The food is excellent, but even more so the owners and workers go out of their way to make sure you get good service.

However, the quality of food here does not seem to justify the price point set at Ko Fusion. The menu reflects the fusion aspect of the restaurant. Ko Fusion offers an entire Japanese sushi menu, along with various stir fries, curries, ramen and even Korean BBQ on certain nights. From the multiple visits I have had here, I would not say that they stand at the top in any cuisine, the food is relatively average. First things first, paying over $20 for a single sushi roll is one of my least favorite dining experiences out there. With restaurants charging a little more for an all you can eat experience or even doing buy one get one deals, the sushi roll has to be really, really good to make it worth it. I did not feel that way here at Ko Fusion. In fact, I felt that Flaming Phoenix Roll was good at best and when I finished, I was still starving. I do think there is an effort to import quality ingredients and do a nice job with presentation, but I was definitely not satisfied. On my next visit, I wanted to order a dish as it would hopefully fill me up more. I ordered their Bul Go Kee and at $32 dollars, I was really was hoping it would be a standout dish. The food was alright, but again, could not justify the price point set for the dish. Not only that, I am looking back on the menu and realize that I never got the lettuce wrap portion of the meal. The beef itself had some decent flavor and was tender, so it at least wasn't a bad dish. I just was left feeling like I did not get my money's worth. Would I recommend this place for nicer occasions? I guess so. However, I would go so far to make this your go-to Japanese or Korean spot, places that specialize in those cuisines would likely give you a better bang for your buck.

    Hello Kajiken, I am…read morea frequent customer of the Kajiken at UIUC, in Champaign. I am commenting about frequent double charges in taxes without the customer knowing. I always order the Tori Shoyu Ramen, along with Kaedama, and even though the menu itself says the ramen is 17 dollars without tax, the bill inflates the untaxed cost up to 20.19 dollars. For some reason, only the ramen is double taxed as the Kaedama is left unchanged, as it should be, at 4 dollars. At this point, the bill then adds another charge of tax on top, which is simply unheard of. When I reached out to the server to talk about it, he says that it has always been this way (apparently he even spoke to the manager and she said it's fine) and doesn't know how to solve it. No refunds either. There is also no way to contact the manager, as she is out in Chicago and rarely comes back. This is absolutely ridiculous as how am I supposed to file a complaint? The servers have no access in changing a major problem and the manager herself doesn't want to anyone to reach out to her for problems. I am truly disappointed as I was a big fan of the food in Kajiken. I usually would not make such a big deal of this, but as I have come here a lot in the past, I can't help but think of all the times I have been scammed on the prices I have been paying, not to mention the fact that the servers never provide the receipt unless u ask for it. Please fix this problem. I am willing to report this to tax authorities if I have to, as this is clearly a deception of prices.
