larsrulz 0 #3 July 14, 2004 You aren't gonna get Sushi in Rantoul...just not gonna happen. Champaign has a Sushi place...I know of one and could be more. PM me and I'll ask around (given I live in Champaign). I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #4 July 14, 2004 QuoteI'd hate to go ten days without sushi when I'm on vacation. Then you had better bring your own since your dinning options are very limited in the immediate Rantoul area. The Big tent food vendors usually had something for everyone to choke down right there on the DZ, just no Sushi."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #12 July 15, 2004 I will say right here and now that Carbone fucking KILLED it last year at the convention. Outstanding dinner meals every single night, far away from the madness that is the main "food court" tent. He was setup right next to the dropzone.com tent last year. Where are you at this year, Scotty (or Tami)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites larsrulz 0 #22 July 19, 2004 This is the jist I got from most people I know who are sushi-fans: Hinode Japanese Restaurant has the best Sushi, but you'll also pay premium for the better Sushi, but nothing ridiculous. The good thing about Hinode is if you have a big group they do Sushi boats, so you just tell them how many people you got and you get a big-ass boat of sushi. This is especially good for sushi newbies as you have an assortment to figure out what you like and don't like. 132 W Church, Champaign (217) 356-3366 Kamakura Japanese Restaurant is probably #2. They aren't as expensive as Hinode, but have good Sushi none-the-less. A few people said they actually like Kamakura's rolls better....so I don't know. Also, the ambience here is supposedly better than Hinode. 715 S Neil, Champaign (217) 351-9898 If you need directions just ask via PM.

I'm thinking I might need to run down there for lunch one day. 132 W Church, Champaign From Rantoul, you'll go west to get on I-57 South to Champaign. After 13 miles you'll get on I-74 East to Champaign. You'll go 2 exits to "NEIL STREET" and get off to make a right turn to head South on Neil. You'll go just over a mile to Church street. Washington and Hill come just before Church. You'll turn right on Church and it'll be like the first place on your right. 715 S Neil, Champaign You'll do the same as above to turn South onto Neil. You'll go about 2 miles and Kamakura will be on your left (I think). You'll go through Green and then John, and Kamakura is right after John.
