Readers Recommend: Family-friendly Ethnic Restaurants

We asked our readers for their recommendations for family-friendly, ethnic restaurants in Champaign-Urbana, and they delivered (hahaha no pun intended). We collected the responses from our Facebook page, but have curated them for you here. (Editor’s note: These recommendations are those of our readers and are not endorsed by Chambanamoms.com.)

Thai: Thara Thai in Champaign (912 W. Bloomington) received many recommendations. Siam Terrace, Urbana. Several readers mentioned My Thai in Champaign.

Mexican: Huaraches Moroleon in Urbana (805 Philo Rd.) and Maize Mexican Grill in Champaign received multiple mentions. Fiesta Cafe, Champaign.

Chinese: Golden Harbor, Champaign. Chinatown Buffet, Champaign (713 W. Marketview). “I’m not sure how ‘ethnic’ this is because so many Chinese restaurants are Americanized these days, but our kids enjoy Chinatown Buffet.”

Pan-Asian: “Ko-Fusion (locations in Champaign and Urbana) is a family favorite.” “My kids love getting the veggie sushi. On off-hours it’s especially kid-friendly with the staff very sweet with the kids.”

Indian: Sitara Indian Restaurant and Lounge in downtown Urbana was mentioned several times by readers. “Our 4-year-old daughter loves this place!” “Sitara has authentic Indian food, wonderful service, and they are incredibly kind to my children!” “Sitara is by far the best restaurant in C-U!” (NOTE: Sitara has been closed for many months after a fire, although it is under renovation and hopes to be open soon.)
