It was a dark, cold (21 degrees) and snowy evening when I visited the trailer that houses the Kenzi Hibachi Express. The order was efficiently taken and I was issued a beeper and told to go back to my warm vehicle and wait. Obviously, all meals were cooked fresh to order. Call in ordering is available. After about 10 minutes I was beeped and picked up the two meals (All meals are for take-away dining). When I hefted the sack I could tell that the meals were substantial. The meals were chicken / shrimp combo (with fried rice and vegetables $15.25 and steak and noodles $13.50. Total cost $32.06. I wish I had weighed the meals before consuming because the servings were huge (probably each one weighed about 2.5 Lb). The wife said her chicken and shrimp was very tasty (I agreed) and I enjoyed my steak and noodles, however the noodles were somewhat bland even though they appeared to be covered in some sort of brown sauce that had olive oil(?) for cooking. All meats were thick cut chunks an very tender. Soy sauce packets and a small container of pink dipping sauce was included with each meal. When we finished we still had over half of the food as leftovers. Would we eat there again? That would be a definite yes but next time I would go for the rice. read more

Amazing Food...... Extremely tender meat. 1 meal gives me 2 meals I do wish they had a vegetarian with rice and choice of sauce. read more

Always very good and fresh food. Very big portions. Friendly staff. Crab ragoons are the best

It was a mixed bag. I ordered steak and rice. While the rice was good, as were the egg rolls I ordered, the steak is just cut pieces of meat. Very little seasoning and tasteless. They were very friendly and it didn't take long to get our order. read more

Good hibachi from a trailer in Pekin! I ordered lunch on a Monday! I ordered chicken which came with fried rice and veggies. I also ordered 1 order of egg rolls and a side of noodles. The chicken was tender, moist, and full of flavor with a good sauce! The veggies were cooked to perfection and delicious! The rice was good and not greasy. The noodles were just bland and not worth getting! The egg rolls were crispy and had a good amount of filling. The service is great! I called in my carry out order. They give you yum yum sauce on the side. read more

What a fun idea for a food truck! We went one evening for dinner. Portions were huge - order with the expectation of being starving or bonus-tomorrows lunch is done!! Service was pretty quick and the folks working the truck could not have been nicer. We thought the food was pretty good too. We are used to the "hibachi experience" and enjoy it but this was a really fun alternative if you're craving the flavor, but want to dine Al fresco or bring it home. read more

Wonderful customer service, great tasting food, large portions, well worth the price.

Great service, great food, and great prices. Can't beat this local spot. My wife and I have had multiple different hibachi experiences while living in South Florida and this is truly up there with the best. Nice to find someone just as good in Central Illinois. read more

Excellent! Food and service were great! They give you a pager so you can wait in your car and don't have to stand in the cold. Great quality for a food truck! read more

Price is good for the amount of food you get a box can feed at least 3 people. Egg rolls are amazing. Don't have to worry about a wait here staff is fast and friendly. Set up as a good truck maybe a table or 2 to sit at in the summer. Very small but amazing! read more

You absolutely get your moneys worth, a favorite of my wife and I, The owners have your food out to us in record time, and piping hot. Could not be happier everytime. read more

A little pricy, but the portions are gigantic! Everything was quick, clean, and the food was delicious. I've gotten the steak and noodles twice and crab rangoon once, never disappointed. I like the call ahead option, however it's very efficient when you just walk up too. Will definitely continue to eat here. read more

There are a few gems in Pekin and this is one. The food is absolutely delicious. The service is quick. I usually call ahead and my order is ready exactly when they say it will be. Food is piping hot and has great flavor. Plus if you can finish a whole hibachi combo - let me know how you pulled it off! read more

Very good food and very nice people! I picked up takeout for my coworkers and I and we all loved it.

I was going to mention the tough chunks of bland steak, the mushy vegetables, and the burnt fried rice but the only thing I really need to say is: I found a hair in my food!!! It's overpriced, disgusting, and obviously has some hygiene issues. I can't see this place being around very long... read more

Huge portions and excellent flavor. May seem pricey but 2 people can definitely eat off of one meal! Will for sure go back and tell friends.

Very good portions and quick service on the walk up! Had the shrimp and chicken twice will continue to eat here!

Excellent hot stir fry hibachi! The noodles are always on point. Prepared fresh, made to order. Huge portions, good prices. Fast service. No bells and whistles, just straight up yummy hibachi. read more
