Golden Wok

Eunwoo Lim

I came to Champaign for college in 2014 and stayed in town for 8 years until I moved out to LA. Gwok may not be the fanciest but there is something so comforting about their food. I’d choose Gwok over any Thai restaurant in LA. Whenever I’m in Champaign, I make sure I eat here at least once. My personal recs are combo fried rice, pad Thai, and Hainan chicken. This family-owned business deserves high praise.

Food is great. I would just expect more than what they served me when I paid close to $12 for an entree. I have been coming here for years and have never seen the portion size this tiny.

I started going to this restaurant in 2011 with a hope just to find okay Thai food as Urbana-Champaign are not big cities like Chicago where you can find authentic Thai food. But I was surprised how great the food was. I ordered Kana Moo Krob (Chinese broccoli with crispy pork belly) and three flavored fried fish. These dishes were so tasty that I went back there soooooo often (for some other dishes too). How often? Probably over 400 times in 6-7 years I was in Champaign. The owners are super nice. Service was quite fast. One of my most favorite restaurants of all time. P.S. These pictures were taken when I went back to Champaign the first time after I graduated. I went there 3 times during a 40-hour visit. Now, you know how much I love that place.
