Christine Dathe San Maru is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in Champaign. We eat here almost every Wednesday, and the experience is consistently wonderful.
The staff knows us by now—and even remembers what our kids like to eat, which makes us feel so welcome every single time. The food quality is excellent, the menu is thoughtfully curated, and whenever we have questions, everything is explained clearly and kindly.
San Maru is incredibly family- and kid-friendly, warm, and attentive. Nothing is ever missing, and every visit feels easy and enjoyable. We truly love this place and highly recommend it.
