10 Best Asian Fusion Restaurants in Rockford

“Koo’s Bento & Bowl is an absolute hidden gem and my go-to spot for incredible Asian fusion food! Everything here is made fresh to order, and you can truly taste the quality in every bite. The chicken katsu bento is tender, flavorful, and served on a bed of perfectly cooked rice. The beef rendang, stewed for hours in coconut milk and spices, melts in your mouth, while the teriyaki chicken bento hits that perfect balance of sweet and savory.

If you love variety, their fried gyoza, tempura shrimp, and crab rangoon make perfect sides—they’re golden, satisfying, and never greasy. Portions are generous, and the pricing is almost too good to be true for how fresh and delicious the food is.

There’s limited seating, but that doesn’t take away from the experience—if anything, it makes you feel like you’ve found one of Rockford’s best-kept secrets.

The service is fast and friendly every single time. I’ve never had a bad experience here—just consistently outstanding food at unbeatable prices. If you’re anywhere near Rockford, you must check out Koo’s Bento & Bowl!“

“Absolutely love eating here. We just discovered it last year and it has become a regular takeout option. Highly recommend everything!“

“They have a large menu of of maki and sushi! It was so hard to choose! The fish was fresh and the combinations in the rolls were amazing. My daughter also got the ramen (shoyu I think) and it was excellent. The broth was so rich! We all loved it!“

“I am not one to write reviews but I was very impressed with the service I received while visiting here! I am disabled and require the use of a service animal and the server and staff were amazing and even brought him out a bowl of fresh cold water with our waters! Our server, Ronald, was amazing and so respectful and accommodating:) The food was so good I wish I had been here sooner! I definitely plan on being back to try more of the menu especially now that I know how accepting and welcoming all of the staff are!! The atmosphere inside is very cozy and yet still casual and open for guests. We enjoyed our meal on the patio and it was very nice little patio with all kinds of little decorations and lights. 10/10 experience“

“Overall the experience was pretty good. Service was good, it was a bit hectic when it started to pick up. I had the GOAT burger - the bun was fresh and delicious, goat cheese was very little and you couldn’t taste it, but it’s the name of the burger… the patty was plenty in size, but very dry and didn’t do Eickman’s meat any justice. The fries were outstanding. The Filipino Chicken Adobo was very delicious, the egg and sauce were perfect together. Chicken was perfectly cooked. The Lumpiang Shanghai was a great starter to the meal. The Ube cheesecake was ok, but not very flavorful. The Aluna Water was surprisingly refreshing and worth the $10. I haven’t been here since it changed brands, overall decent experience and would try again when not so busy for an event.“

“I’ve been coming here since day one they opened. I remember how it used to look. So small and adorable. Now, it looks classy and most certainly a comfort food place to enjoy your meals in. The servers are usually excellent there; and most of the menu are absolutely out of the world delicious. (I say most because very few items I can’t stand eating)“

“My absolute favorite sushi place!
I've tried sushi from all over Rockford, it seems. And I have yet to find a favorite that surpasses Spider! They have some of the yummiest rolls. The restaurant is clean and the staff is always so kind.“
