Very tasty. I have had San Maru twice and I felt that it was a good deal both times. Very tasty food and a friendly staff, (whom kept apologizing for being short-staffed (it's 2022 expect to be shortstaffed)) the food was excellent with larg portions. Be sure to bring your appetite. It was well packed while my son and I were there but it was a nice atmosphere. We tend to stick out wherever we go and no one stares which was nice.
Probably the best Korean restaurant in town. Many of my Korean friends recommend this place and they have really tasty side dishes! You can ask for refill!
Great Korean food in Champaign! We especially liked the Jabchae.
I was looking for a quick lunch that I could take on the road and the options in this neighborhood were limited in that respect. I am so glad I chose this place.Very authentic cuisine, quaint and comfy interior, and super friendly staff providing very fast service. As a small business owner I love to patronize any locally operated place, and as a lover of international cuisine I get excited when I can tell it's family owned and operated.My excitement on this one was rewarded as the food was outstanding. I don't look like the vegetarian type of eater so she gave me a serving of rice along with mine at no extra charge. I think she was concerned that I wouldn't be satisfied when I don't get a protein in mine lol.It was plenty filling and I didn't eat all the rice, and only 10 bucks in this neighborhood for lunch is amazing. I'll be going back, maybe I'll get some protein next time lol. Either way I'm sure it'll be worth it
It is really too bad because I love the food. The real challenge is that they do not understand how to manage or serve the customer. I was there in January and waited over 15 minutes and no one even looked my way. They run around like crazy people trying to serve food and wait on table with two people and when you are busy you need more help. My first time eating at this establishment, there were three people inside and I received great service and meal. Don't go when they are busy. It may be an hour lunch they you do not have time for. Honestly, I wish is was better. I love the food.
Great food at reasonable prices!
Fantastic food and dessert.
Best Korean restaurant in the city!We loved all the food and the staff were very friendly.Please try the ice tea (SooJungGwa) and the Red Bean Bingsu
I loved their pork bulgogi. It was sweet and had a ton of scallions. Their fried chicken wings were pretty good as well. Unfortunately the service was slow, which is somewhat understandable since they were short on staff, but they also completely forgot one of our party's dishes. They were really nice about it, however. I'm definitely coming back again. I really want to try their bingsu next time I come.
The food was delicious! The servers were very attentive to everyone! I wanted something different and was not disappointed! I already know what I am having the next time I go!
