This is the best Korean restaurant I have ever been in CU area. The kimchi pork with tofu is really good! The serving is also very good. Although it's a little bit overpriced, but the food is really good.

Hands down best Korean food in C-U! Don't let the hole in the wall decoration and location steer you away! If you have never had something before just ask about it. They will take the time to explain the dish to and make recommendations.

They provide various small dishes before the meal . The stone bowl is not in a stone bowl and is a little cold, but it's good. Generally the dishes taste good and sweet.

This review may be biased because it had been three years since I have Korean food. Regardless, Good Fella serves the best bibimbop I've ever had! I've eaten at places in Chicago that did not serve the bibimbop in a stone bowl, so I never knew that stone bowls kept the dish warm for longer and crisped the rice at the bottom of the bowl. This was, however, the most expensive bibimbop I've had ($12.99) but it's worth it in my opinion. I also had a pork dish whose name I do not remember. It might have been M16 on the menu. It was also very good with lots of vegetables and was marinated in the red spicy sauce. I do not give Good Fella four stars, however, because it was hard to capture the waiter's attention for more tea. In addition, the ventilation in the restaurant is not good so you end up smelling like Korean food when you leave the restaurant. A big plus to this restaurant is that it's the only Korean restaurant in Champaign that has not been subject to a health code violation.

When I lived in Champaign, I came here as often as I could. I used to get the ox bone soup all the time, which was heavenly velvet awesomeness, and they had fantastic barbecue. the Kimchi was always perfectly fermented (which there is an art to, my friend), and every side dish I tried there was fantastic. I never ate anything there that I didn't like. On top of that there was a woman working there, I think one of the owners, who always took an interest in helping us have an authentic experience. As one of the few white patrons at any given time, it was nice to feel like we were welcome to partake of their culture, and she consistently gave us advice on ordering and how Koreans traditionally season or assemble whatever dish we were interested in. What I wanted coming in was a mom and pop place that felt like a window into the food and culture of Korea, without being completely inaccessible to an outsider like myself, and that's exactly what I found. That being said, I was sad that they took jajangmyun off the menu before I got a chance to try it. Then again, this is more of a meat place.

Every Korean restaurant has their "specialty"- a dish or entree they are good at making or take pride making. That's the pork belly here. I think they have the best Sahm-guyp-sahl. Pricey for sure but no one beats their quality cuts. Proceed with caution because you have to spend money to get service. That's why I give them 3 stars. Even if you tip well, this place does not care. I don't know how to get the level of service I expect but it just doesn't happen. But yea, the pork belly, it rocks. You stop caring about the piss poor service once you cook the fatty thing on your table.

Feel like the price can be few dollars cheaper but serves pretty good Korean food. Only problem I had is after I paid with my credit card, I wrote down my tip and the total. Few days later, checked my credit card money online, found they took more money. Guess they felt I under tiped them so they just took more money from my credit card WITHOUT my permission. (how legal is this?) I'll probably go back to Good Fella, just probably bringing cash with me.

In addition to the owner/cook being a big bully, this place serves Korean food that's mediocre at its very best. It HAS gotten a little better than when it first opened, but still, I've always left Good Fella feeling cheated. I can't think of one good thing to say about this place.

The best Korean restaurant in Champaign-Urbana, I would say. I went there for the first time in summer, and hoped that I could find this place much earlier. I have been there around 10 times, and I did not have the experience of bad service mentioned in one of 1-star comments -- "at least 10 minutes to get the menu, 20 minutes to get the water". Every time I go there, I get a menu as soon as I sit down, and the water comes in a minute. Also, the madam there is very kind. After your orders are taken, you will be served around 10 dishes of really delicious appetizers(which are free). Sometimes I will ask for one more dish of my favorite appetizer(also FREE). If you don't know how to order for the first time, look at the photos on the wall. Those dishes taste really good. Have a nice meal :)

Food is definitely tasty. Pricy and you just have to take on the attitude of the owner. She really makes our dinning experience very uncomfortable. We're not coming back. Sorry.

Oh. My. Goodness. The food is soooo yummy and people that work there are so nice! When I first came to CU I was so upset that I couldn't find a Korean restaurant that met my standards but then I discovered this little gem and I couldn't be happier. I have to admit, this isn't my all time favorite Korean restaurant but they are definitely the best in the CU area. They give so many side dishes which is always a huge plus in my book (the potato salad is my favorite!). If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, I definitely recommend it!

Honestly very unreasonably priced for both quality and quantity of food. The service was horrible; I don't know what was up with the lady but she gave such an attitude which made me not want to come back at all. I don't think I will ever return again.
