DO YOU LIVE IN CHAMPAIGN-URBANA OR NEARBY?

If so, okay, yeah, you want to go eat at the new Yellowfin Restaurant.

It's a part of Lee's Oriental Mart, right next to the IGA on Kirby.

Delightful Korean and Japanese food. Amazing sushi.

The hamachi (yellowtail) MELTED in my mouth like warm fish butter.
The shiro maguro (white tuna) was delicious and gentle and lurrrrvely.
The tobiko (flying fish roe) was crunchy and tasty without being overwhelming.

I sound so pretentious.

Great miso soup, the tea is that delightful green tea with puffed rice in it, the Korean appetizers we had were delicious.

Lovely Wife Sara ate a piece of octopus without knowing it, and she loved it! She doesn't even like seafood!

For a main course she had vegetable tempura and I had nabeyaki udon.

The service was fantastic, the staff is ridiculously kind and polite, the ambiance was peaceful and the music soothing.

You want to eat there, you just don't know it yet.

Well, NOW you do.
