Good place for a quick and refreshing brunch! The dining environment was pretty nice and clean with very few people sitting inside on this Sunday morning. The servers were friendly as well. I ordered the Avocado Crunch, which cost about $15. The vegetables were very fresh, and I love the natural flavors as well as the mixture they added in the bowl. The fish meat was soft and salty, just played the role of a taste-increasing thing. The crunchy chips were able to enrich the texture, and the avocado cream was just appropriate in quantity. However, the bread was cold and tough, for which I reduced the one star. I might go there again if I wanna a refreshing meal in the future!

Best salad/power bowl restaurant near campus. Fresh food, generous portions, clean environment and dining ware, friendly staff. Plus it is super convenient. It's a great place to eat if you want to go healthy or after a workout so tiring that you feel uncomfortable if swallowing greasy food. I have been eating here for quite a few times and will keep going there! It would be even better if more options of protein can be provided.

Amazing new place right on Green Street. Freshly made salads and bowls. Tried the Club Med Bowl. It tasted fresh, the flavor was authentic and the portion was large enough for a full meal.

Showed up at 7:50 and they refused to let us in. Service sucks. Do not go here. Food isn't even worth it. Overpriced and not fresh.

Hello Kajiken, I am…read morea frequent customer of the Kajiken at UIUC, in Champaign. I am commenting about frequent double charges in taxes without the customer knowing. I always order the Tori Shoyu Ramen, along with Kaedama, and even though the menu itself says the ramen is 17 dollars without tax, the bill inflates the untaxed cost up to 20.19 dollars. For some reason, only the ramen is double taxed as the Kaedama is left unchanged, as it should be, at 4 dollars. At this point, the bill then adds another charge of tax on top, which is simply unheard of. When I reached out to the server to talk about it, he says that it has always been this way (apparently he even spoke to the manager and she said it's fine) and doesn't know how to solve it. No refunds either. There is also no way to contact the manager, as she is out in Chicago and rarely comes back. This is absolutely ridiculous as how am I supposed to file a complaint? The servers have no access in changing a major problem and the manager herself doesn't want to anyone to reach out to her for problems. I am truly disappointed as I was a big fan of the food in Kajiken. I usually would not make such a big deal of this, but as I have come here a lot in the past, I can't help but think of all the times I have been scammed on the prices I have been paying, not to mention the fact that the servers never provide the receipt unless u ask for it. Please fix this problem. I am willing to report this to tax authorities if I have to, as this is clearly a deception of prices.

I came in on a week night before thanksgiving so it was very quiet in the restaurant. I ordered…read morespicy tonkatsu ramen and it was alright. The meat cut was a little on the tough side but otherwise good. The egg did not have much of a marinated flavor. The staff was quick to serve me and the food came out very fast. The restaurant is very well designed and modern with what appeared to be a cafe on the floor above it. I see other reviews of this place and wish I had tried more of the menu which seems to have turned out better than the ramen did. I will be back to try more!

Martinellis is such a cool place for Champaign to have. I love that it's a cafe, bakery, store…read more There's nothing there that isn't good or well crafted here and it's made fresh! It can be a little bit pricey but I definitely think it's worth what you're paying. They have a great outdoor idea to sit in if you have a dog with you and the staff is so friendly. I love seeing their specialty items in their grocery section as well. They clearly pick those items with a lot of thought!

I usually really enjoy visiting Martinelli's: they have fun snack aisles for one to browse through,…read morebread samples, yummy dessert options and a freezer full of goodies. Its got a lot of natural light, plenty of seating and has a really nice ambiance for a quick lunch or coffee date. We stopped by for their delicious foccacia pizza but were informed that they don't serve it after 1:30 pm. We settled on the tuna melt but were disappointed by that; cold tuna salad, greasy soft bread (ie not toasted enough), and a slice of unmelted cheese. It really didn't work. We also ordered a few baked goodies but were disappointed to see a bug flying on the cookies. I'm giving them 3 stars for the overall vibe of the restaurant and past experiences. I'm hoping that today they were just having an off day.
