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!

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!

This is the best food truck option in the state line area! We live in Freeport and drive to Rockford just to get Kodai! Customer service is always exceptional and the food is made with love! Prices are unbeatable for good quality Japanese food! Everything we’ve tried has been amazing, excellent quality and fresh! Some of the BEST, crispy gyozas I’ve tried (Japanese and Korean food are our fav so we’ve tried a lot!). My only suggestion would be to consider doing a yummy yummy and yucky yucky sauce like the interactive Japanese hibatchi restaurants. Don’t get me wrong their yum yum sauce is good but it’s mayo based. Normally I do not eat mayo based yum yum sauces but I do really like theirs. If they had those ginger sauce and a mustard sauces they would get alllllllll my money!

Hello, I have not bought here, but the food looks very good, and I want to try it, but I would like to know if they speak Spanish, since I do not speak English
