    This is the second time coming here. The first time was at night and it was good. but this time the food was cold in random spots like it was reheated. The curry had the consistency of water slime. the worker said it supposed to look like that....i guess we came at the wrong time but yikes.

    Soy Sauce Yaki Udon

    Nice in portion sizes, fresh shrimps and great seasoning. Waiters are pretty friendly and can provide satisfying services in busy lunchtime.

    Ordered tonkotsu ramen, black tonkotsu ramen, takoyaki, and chicken karaage. Both ramen had nice smoky aroma with solid toppings. Broth was rich without being greasy. Noodles cooked al dente like we like. Takoyaki were crispy on the outside and luscious inside with big katsuobushi flakes atop. Chicken karaage were tasty and crispy. Overall tasty food and good execution. Attentive service and nice interior. Also, they had my fave drink. Woohoo.

    I ordered the tonkatsu ramen. Broth could use the slightest bit more of flavor the pork flavor is not as strong as I usually prefer, and the pork is unbalanced, certain bits are very or overly seasoned and others are completely bland . Egg taste very good and the noodles have a good texture, the entire dish has slight hints of garlic which is very appreciated, and I am unsure if the red stuff above is saffron or not but it is a nice addition to the flavor. With a slight bit more of consistency this could very well be an outstanding dish. Service was great and attentive, and the restaurant has a very nice ambiance and atmosphere.

    I ordered a Chicken Karaage and a Shoyu (if I remember them correctly). I think they were too salty...I used to be the type of person who drinks all the soup when having Ramen, but this time I failed to do it. The chicken was too salty as well, which made me wanna drink water so badly after having this meal. And the quantities were not so much. Though the dining environment and the service were both satisfactory, I would probably not go there for another try in the future.

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.

I think if I came back I would definitely lean into the typical American stuff because that's probably what they do best (the fries looked really yummy on other people's plates) Shrimp and Scallop Ceviche - this was an appetizer specials that I really enjoyed and highly recommend. Every bite was refreshing! Korean Salmon - Salmon was cooked well and the crust was nice and crispy. Something was just off about the flavor -- the sauce was too salty. Surf and Turf Tacos - decent tacos, would consider getting again Overall in the pricer side but it is a nicer sit down restaurant in Champaign. Comes with free popcorn sampler at the beginning of the meal! The servers were every kind. They unfortunately cannot accept visa gift cards too

    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.
