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.

Fabulous stop on drive to Iowa City. Got off for an oil change and spotted on the way. Friendly welcome and very tasty Pad Thai Shimp so good forgot to take a pic.

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.

We ordered beef pad thai and shrimp fried rice. The food here is really good, and the guy at the register, who seem like the owner, was really nice and welcoming. It didn’t take that long to get our food.

Cute little family restaurant serving a variety of Asian cuisines. The atmosphere is a little funky, but the food is always delicious and very affordable.

By far one of my favorite places in town to get pad thai. Their other options are also excellent for the price. They always go the extra mile when you ask for special instructions. If you want something spicy, they aren’t afraid to turn up the heat!

I get their Lunch special menu at least once a week, so I tried all of the dishes on the Lunch special menu. They all taste the same. Literally, there are 3 categories: 1) Red-food-color fried chicken 2) stir fry 3) Pad Thai. With no exaggeration, all of the lunch special menu fall into one of these category (they taste almost the same within a category!!!). It is cost effective for them to do it this way… But many other American Chinese restaurants at least tries to make the taste a little different. But hey, I like the taste. That is why I am still a customer here.

Really excellent food. The gentleman who may be the owner (I didn’t ask) recommended a couple dishes for us to try as this was my first time. I must say, he has great taste in his own cooking.

I love their customer service. I ordered from them through door dash. When my order arrived it was incorrect. I called them and they corrected my order and sent their own delivery drive with my correct order. They corrected it so quickly and efficiently….! And the food was great…
