   It’s all about the money now. Smaller rolls, bigger price tags. More expensive per roll than in the burbs where quality is better too. Rolls are good. Wait staff is hardworking but haven’t been trained. Would hope you could get a better experience at the price point. We all said the experience was so much better in the old space.

   We have been to this place a few times but this time the sushi and rolls were very average. It’s been better in the past. We will likely give it another chance though. It was extremely busy but the service and promptness was very good.

   Some confusion at the start. The host said we didn’t have a reservation even though I showed him my confirmation on my phone. We sat for a long time before anyone approached dour table then within 2 minutes we had 2 waiters who were frustrated when we said someone just stopped by table. Finally the waiter we did end up with was super friendly. But the food came to quickly. We weren’t finished with our appetizers when the sushi rolls arrived.

   We arrived for our reservation and were seated. The server did not arrive until about 20 minutes later and took our drink and food order. She then disappeared for a long time. Half the table received waters 20 minutes later. We had to ask 4 times for our drinks and they finally came about 80 minutes after we sat down. The food never arrived. The hostess, who seemed very unconcerned about our situation, said the order was probably lost because she couldn’t find it, and that they would put our order in but it would take a while because the kitchen was behind. We finally just left, more than 90 minutes after we arrived. It was frustrating and embarrassing as we had invited both of my son’s sets of grandparents to celebrate his graduation and we all left upset and hungry.

   Absolutely terrible. We booked Ko Fusion very far in advance to celebrate my son’s graduation. The restaurant grossly overbooked so that when we arrived we were seated in the “lower patio”. This was the parking lot with folding tables and chairs. The waiter who greeted us and took our order proceeded to forget he had a table. It took over 45 minutes to get our drinks. When we asked the hostess who brought our drinks about our food order, she brought out a woman who appeared to be the manager or owner. We didn’t get an apology, only that she’d find the server. When the server arrived, he told us the kitchen was still working on our food. By this time, an hour and a half after we ordered, we were cold, starving, and tired of sitting in a parking lot. We asked for the bill, and the server seemed relieved. Still no apology. We paid and left to find somewhere else we could eat during UIUC graduation weekend.

   Experience was fantastic. Service and food, 5 star. We shared sushi rolls and all four were delicious. Our server was very attentive and professional. Great experience.
