Kodai Japanese Express

Honestly incredibly delicious food! The portions are great and my favorite has to be the special noodles, tender and delicious steak chicken and shrimp! The takoyaki is my go to in general so seeing they had some here was even better, had to get a double order of it! Definitely recommend for everyone to come check out the place!

Amazing experience both times we've gone. We love trying foods from local businesses and after driving by several times we decided to stop in for Boba and just check the menu out. We had a wonderfully delicious matcha boba, perfectly sweet and balanced. Today we got lunch and wanted to try a bunch of items. We ordered the takoyaki, crab rangoons and spring rolls to start. So much flavor in the takoyaki, it was definitely my favorite thing. (Even though everything was 5 stars 😜) Crispy and perfectly fried rangoons and spring rolls. For the meal I ordered the steak and shrimp noodles. You'll never understand how delicious this meal was unless you get it. The steak was soft and tender (ordered medium rare), the shrimp were large and was so fresh and cooked perfectly. The noodles had the right sauce to noodle ratio and extra scrumptious. We also ordered the vegetable version of the noodles and everything was sliced thin and still had that crisp delicious fresh vegetable flavor paired with those amazing noodles. If you're looking to try a new noodle, hibachi, or boba place. You have to try Kodai, the couple that work there are so nice and pleasant and know how to cook! We'll definitely be making this a go to from now on. I spent a total of 43 dollars for three appetizers and two noodle dishes. You can't beat the price to quality ratio. We had enough food to make two identical meals out of it as well.

Absolutely, Positively going back! We ordered the steak hibachi and chicken egg rolls and they were Delicious! ZERO complaints! Love Love Love it!

I have recently moved to Rockford from the Quad Cities and I have been looking for great places to eat. With that being said I work just across the river and these folks running the place said I could call them and order ahead since I only had 30 minutes for lunch and they would make it for me. They were very kind and sweet people and I found my new favorite lunch spot!

Great all around. The drinks were awesome!!!! I'm big on customer service and we received PHENOMENAL SERVICE!

Had the Steak Hibachi and Passion fruit strawberry bubble tea everything was fantastically delicious 🤤I recommend going!

Wonderful Hibachi food, I had the steak and shrimp with rice combination with an order of the crab rangoons. Steak cooked to requested temp and shrimp were absolutely delicious. If you're a shrimp sauce fan (yum yum sauce) you'll need an extra one or two to cover everything if you're a sauce lover. Easy and convenient, no wait either.

Easily my favorite place in the area to eat! The food is always delicious and I’m always greeted with a smile. Wonderful family!

Been wanting to try this place every time I drove by, finally did and was not disappointed! I wanted to try a sample of their menu. So I got brown sugar bubble tea, gyoza, side of fried rice and noodles. The food tasted delicious! I especially loved their brown sugar bubble tea because it wasn’t too sweet and tons of boba! I also loved their noodles! The right amount of flavor and not too empowering. For all this food, I thought the price was reasonable and it didn’t take long to get the food! Glad I finally checked this place out and will be going back to try more of the menu! Lastly, the customer service was amazing! The lady was super sweet and kind!

Food is just amazing the one lady is soo nice great service great food the food comes out nice and hot 10/10

Always see that red Hibachi truck sitting off to the side of the road while at work. Decided to try them today and was pleasantly surprised. Eggrolls were super fresh and crispy just the way I like and the chicken fried rice was giving dine in vibes and huge portions although it was to-Go. Would recommend you all give Kodai Hibachi a try!

Best place in town
Love there boba

Had a great experience at Kodai Japanese express. The service was kind and fast, and the food was delicious and flavorful. Everything was super fresh and was cooked to perfection. I recommend the hibachi special or the noodle special the portions were great!!!

Excellent quality food at a reasonable price.. We live pretty close to 173 and used to head to Panda Express until one day we saw this Japanese food truck and decided to try it out, needless to say we never returned again to Panda.. What can I say the Hibachi is amazing, the owners are kind and remember you by name even when placing an order over the phone and the food is a short 10 min wait most of the time.. We love coming here..Always support local

Food was very good! Ordered at window and they brought it right to my car, making for a convenient and comfortable wait.

Great food and big portions!

Food trucks always deserve a chance and you won't be disappointed with your choice to stop here.

Service and food are excellent 10/10 must try

Food is amazing!!!! Really recommend to all!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Great people and good food
