Their sushi is not talked about NEARLY enough. Their salmon is usually pretty good, so I usually order their salmon maki, a salmon avocado roll, or a chef special with a salmon avocado roll and salmon nigiri if they have them stocked up. If the roll you're looking for isn't there, just ask one of the chefs to make it for you. (It's usually better that way too, since it's more likely to be fresh.)

I don't mind bagging my own groceries because I do that at Aldi frequently. I love the idea of having an ownership stake in a co-op! How great. My kids said it felt like a mini-Whole Foods.

It IS a grocery store in that it has produce, a meat and seafood counter, as well as dry goods, refrigerated items and a robust set of upright freezer cases - mostly full of items not normally found in the US. They also carry many American staples when those are needed in a pinch, but the focus is clearly on what's not available anywhere else in the area. That said all the produce is top-notch and beautifully displayed/maintained. The meat/seafood selection fresh (and more so) frozen is pretty extensive, even down to how things are sliced and/or shaped. Then there's the bakery which is past the checkout lanes all the way at the far front-end of this place (which is the size of a large Aldi's). I'm pretty sure I saw a loaf of bread or two in the grocery areas, but they did not suggest the kind of exquisite baked goods on display when you enter the area - in both the grab your own area (croissants, bagels, donuts) and the counter glass case (fancy pastries). They're not cheap, but also fancier then you may even find at say Martinelli's and my creme-filled croissant was an epically delicious mess! Without burying the lead for some folks, because I was there around 9 AM, I didn't smell anything savory cooking yet, but behind the bakery are several more separate food stalls that make up a mini Asian food court for yummy things like noodles, bibimbap and ramen. I hope to come back and sample them soon.

Store review: I am a fan of Ruler Foods! Since moving to…read moreChampaign, I have been searching for a place for cheap dairy and eggs. It is crazy how much a gallon of milk can cost at other stores 3-4 dollars compared to Northwest Suburbs where you can get milk regularly at 1.99-2.50. This place initially looked sketchy, but after going inside I realize that it is simply a upscale aldi with Kroger brand. Major plus is the acceptance of credit cards for payment. If you are okay with generic brand of Kroger than this place will net you a lot of savings. Yes the produce section is very limited and you maybe better off going to aldi, but they had eggs for .79 cents, milk 1.59 and 1% and skim that was close to expiration (about 1 week away) for only 0.99 cents. I have never seen milk that cheap. Check out is fast. No grocery bags of course so bring your own. Overall a great place for basic grocery needs that will save you money. Pros: cheapest dairy, egg, sugar, bread in the Champaign area Cons: limited choices, they do have name brand items as well Hidden deals: 1. Bring a quarter to check out a shopping cart, you get it back after you return your cart 2. Bring your own grocery bags 3. Cheap eggs, milk, bread

I've had occasion to make it over to this large bakery/cafe just north of downtown C-U for lunch a couple times and never been disappointed. Granted the food (including a couple fantastic side salad options) isn't cheap, but everything is made properly with high quality ingredients and well worth the occasional splurge. Although we have only tried some samples, there's even a fancy coffee cafe within.5 Factor in that all the employees we've met (including the delivery people out in the Central IL grocery stores) have been pleasantly passionate about their products, and you start to understand how they've come to stand out in what seems like a fading industry. That said, it also seems like the shelves with high end grocery items like exotic olive oils, Momofuku noodles, hard to find jams and other condiments, have dwindled in the last year or two, likely due to tariff-based cost models, but you are still likely to find a new favorite 'something' just browsing while they craft your sammy. Even if it's just a 'cronut' or a loaf of that amazing olive ciabatta or sourdough, it is becoming a mandatory C-U stop for us.
