As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I must confess: Kobe Japan's ambiance blends fast-casual dining with a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it the ideal spot for a quick bite during a shopping spree or a relaxed dinner with friends. The moment you step in, the aroma of grilled meats and fresh vegetables welcomes you, teasing your taste buds for what's to come.
Highlighting the menu, the Teriyaki Chicken stands out as a fan favorite. Customers rave about its rich flavors and succulent texture, with some declaring it the best in town. One satisfied diner even humorously suggested forgoing the menu entirely, humorously advocating for only ordering Teriyaki Chicken! Beyond the chicken, Kobe Japan offers a variety of other mouthwatering options, including beef and shrimp teriyaki, complemented by sides like perfectly cooked rice, flavorful noodles, and delectable Crab Rangoon.
The featured item that I personally recommend is the Combo 12: Beef & Chicken & Shrimp Teriyaki, priced at just $24.29. This dish is a feast for the senses, featuring a harmonious blend of proteins paired with fresh vegetables over a generous helping of rice or noodles. It’s a perfect choice for those looking to indulge their cravings.
What sets Kobe Japan apart is not just the tantalizing flavors but also the generous portion sizes. Patrons, like Kevin Thompson and Jon Erickson, frequently mention that the meals are not only delicious but also satisfying, offering great value for money. The $12 meal options provide a worthy bang for your buck, ensuring you leave with both your hunger and wallet happy.
The customer experience at Kobe Japan speaks volumes. Reviews praise the speed of service, especially during busy mall hours, and many have noted the employees' dedication to providing a pleasant dining experience, despite language barriers.

“ Every time I eat here, i have a great experience. I get white rice teriyaki chicken with extra soy sauce. Its super delicious and fast. Much enjoyed. ”
“ Best Chicken Teriyaki you can get! Forgo the rice and get all vegetables instead! Seriously excellent Teriyaki! ”
“ Good teriyaki chicken. A awesome establishment to have in the Cherry Valley Mall, and I hope they continue to serve such awesome food. ”
“ Best place to eat at the mall. I don't understand why they have a menu. They should just ask how many orders Teriyaki Chicken you want. All kidding aside, their Teriyaki Chicken is great. My wife and I probably go to the mall more often for this than the mall itself. It can be a little crowded because its so popular but they are usually moving at a pretty fast pace. P.S. If you are pretty hungry, ask for "double meat" or "extra meat" and you will get twice as much for a couple bucks extra. ”
“ I don't know why I read so many negative comments! Kobe's is a bang for your buck type place. You get so much food for 12. I've never had an issue with this place and the workers have always been kind to me. I read a few comments about them not being fluent in English- and that just shows some peoples entitlement. It's their job to serve you food- not have conversations with you! Great place with the yummiest chicken teriyaki! ”
“ Kobe Japan has the BEST chicken Teriyaki! Rockford’s hidden gem. Located in the Cherryvale Mall food court (I know, right?) this small family owned restaurant understands the basics of success - do one thing and do it right. It’s absolutely delicious. I suggest ordering double meat. Easy to find, just look for the only restaurant with a long line. Worth the wait. ”
“ Chicken Terriaki, all the time! Nice associates and of course that smell. It draws you in, like an old mickey mouse cartoon. I love that they throw that sauce, so hot and tasty, all over the food. Oh my gosh it is something else! ”
“ Kobe is the best place in Rockford!!! Food is amazing. Diarrhea is possible and gas coming out (could smell bad) but other than that it's the best place to eat at. ”
