A year ago I came to visit my boyfriend at U of I and we googled "best place to eat in Champaign" and went! I'm so glad we went to Sakanaya, it was truly a surprise. It's cozy and clean inside, and while it can get busy they do a great job of working with customers to make you comfortable and up to date on table status while you wait. The sushi is as good as it's going to get; being in the middle of Illinois it really is a pleasant surprise to stumble on something this good. We'll have to try their ramen next!
