In three months, hungry Fighting Illini will have another way to get their Korean food fix. Owner David Choi announced that Seoul Taco will open its third brick-and-mortar location at 608 S. Sixth St., in Champaign, Illinois in January 2016.
Building on the success of its University City and Columbia, Missouri locations, Choi said he is ready to take on another college town. “It’s a vibrant campus town that already has Korean restaurants, so the flavors will be familiar,” he said.
The new space has downstairs and mezzanine levels that seat 100 people total. In the meantime, Choi said he will roll into Champaign with the Seoul Taco food truck prior to the January opening to introduce his Korean tacos, burritos and bowls.
