This place is great five stars! I've read most of the most current reviews... anybody who is complaining about the customer service at this establishment (not a food stand)... Is an idiot !! Who goes to the mall food court for customer service anyways? This is the only restaurant in the food court at the mall. They had a line of 10+ people, every other place was empty. Food was amazing! Definitely reminded me of a similar restaurant in a Randhurst Mall from when I was a kid. Will be back!! Way better than "Lung Fung 2" by a long shot!! read more

I literally got yelled at today by the woman behind the counter for "taking the wrong food" from the window when we waited our turn and it was given to us by the servers. Was shocked because I have never been yelled at before here, even if the service has been a little lacking. I calmly told her she didn't need to yell and she completely ignored me and went right to the next customer, not giving me any direction on what to do next. Thankfully the other workers there helped me and were almost apologetic for her behavior. I've loved their food for literal decades and that is still 5 stars, but her yelling at customers and blaming them for something that they obviously need a better system for takes the service down to 1 star. Would love to see someone else more friendly working the front counter. read more

Kobe Japan - Chicken Teriyaki - Japanese Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

Not My Cup of Tea... and Now, Not My Husband's Either I'll be honest--I've never eaten at this food stand because it just doesn't look appetizing to me. The meat sitting on the grill way longer than it should? Yeah... hard pass. But my husband decided to take a stroll down memory lane and give it a go. Let's just say he regretted his decision big time. By the end of the day, his stomach was hosting its own Fourth of July fireworks show. Not exactly the nostalgia he was hoping for! So, while I can't personally speak to the taste, the aftermath alone has me saying "thanks, but no thanks." Proceed with caution, friends! read more

Kobe Japan - Bad service really stingy people here. I spend 33 dollars of my hard earned money on this. - Japanese Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

It's another fast food in the mall Food Court restaurant. Basically, if your looking for gourmet food, this will not be the place. If you are at the mall, hungry and want something that tastes good, but isn't exactly good for you, this is the place to go. Their Terryaki chicken is by far one of the best items you can get in the food court. It comes with Steamed Vegitables and fried rice. Although the fried rice is more like a sticky brown rice with no vegitbles stirred into it. Still, after you mix it with the chicken it tastes pretty good. If you are tempted to try the sushi... don't. Let's just say when you hear stories about eating Mall Sushi... this place will make it happen. I've tried it twice, because I'm a fool and I wanted to give them a second chance. the first time it was served warm. Not room temperature, but heated. after eating it I ended up getting sick. The second time it came room temperature, but it was rubbery and again I ended up getting sick from it. So Terryaki chicken... yes. Sushi... no. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! If i could give it zero stars i would! I got my food from there today and after eating half of it, i looked down and there was maggots stuck to the chicken!! So then after further inspection i found a big worm on the vegetables!! If i could make myself puke i totally would!! If you don't want to feast on bugs, do not eat here! Absolutely disgusting! Excuse me while i go deworm myself! read more

See all

Best teriyaki chicken around this area. They give large servings of rice and vegetables too. A must go to stop when in town.

Every time me and my family go here were never disappointed and they give you big servings too so your be full afterwards. Food is great definitely recommend!!! read more

Service was extremely rude and the sauce is nothing but grease from the cooked meat definitely wouldn't recommend this place.

As someone who worked next door to them for years, I would NEVER EVER eat here. They have had complaints from mall employees for years, they leave raw chicken out in the back hallway for hours if not most of a day. they are disgusting! If I could give them no stars I would. They are absolutely disgusting. read more

The teriyaki chicken here is siimply amazing. Yes, I know this is in a mall and usually mall food is sub par at best, but if I'm craving teriyaki chicken, this is where I come. You can watch them cook up your food right in front of you, which is kinda cool and you know it's fresh. The service tries so hard to be fast, that they tend to be brusk. Also, I think the only people who work there who speak English are the ladies who take your order. Basically I think it's typical mall food service. read more

Terriyaki chicken made me very sick. I had to go to the ER my stomach pains were so bad. Health dept. should just shut them down for good. Some of these other comments alone show a complete disregard for food safety. Disgusting. read more

I dont know many people who haven't heard of this place. The staple item is the terryaki chicken. If you haven't tried it, or even if you just want a piece, get a sample from the angry lady standing in front. They are kind of rude and they always rush you out of the way. The chicken is good, though. It comes with rice and vegetables. I love the vegetables. I also always ask for extra terryaki sauce from the guy behind the grill. read more

This place is my go to when I'm at the mall or bookstore and I start feeling peckish. The people there really aren't rude; I don't understand why so many people think that. The teryaki chicken is the best thing on the menu by far. The sushi is BAD and I wouldn't recommend it. I have tried the beef teryaki as well and it was alright, but you really would do best to stick to their specialty item. read more

The 5 stars are strictly for the only item I've had there which is the Teriyaki. I love the sticky brown rice & steamed veggies. We have had special orders made with chicken, steak, shrimp and a combo of the three. All good! I always get extra teriyaki sauce on mine. Order the To-go box, it has much more than the dine-in plate. There is sometimes a language barrier with the staff but nothing a little patience can't handle. Can't beat it for $6, it feeds at least 2. I sometimes drive the 20 minutes each way to get this for dinner. It's worth the drive! read more

The chicken terryaki is very good. The staff is so-so. One thing that turns me off and I've noticed this many times is that they recycle their sample chicken. If you go there watch and you will see it. After a certain amount of time the sample lady will return the cold sample chicken bowl to one of the cooks and get a fresh one. When it's slow of they think no one is watching the cook will dump the cold meat back onto the grill to be served to a customer. read more

Been to many places and eaten a lot of Japanese good, and nothing has compared to their chicken teriyaki. Always fresh and the flavor is perfect. No gristle or 'bad' parts of meat. Fresh rice and veggies. Wish they had more locations around. But always worth the travel. read more
