If you are wanting a quick healthy meal in murfreesboro be sure to go here. One of my families favorite take home meals

Very helpful and engaging staff Food is good but not great Overall though if you are looking for a quick decent Asian restaurant without waiting for a table and spending large dollars Tia will suffice read more

The customer service was horrible. We placed a take out order online and came inside to pick it up. I walked to the counter and there were two young girls and one young boy, I said that I had a take out order and one of them found my ticket and said that they were getting it ready. All three of them saw me walk to the nearest table to sit and wait. They continued to chat and never let me know that my order was ready. After waiting nearly 15 minutes my husband went to go ask about it and they handed the bag to him. My food was not ready when I got there, but cold by the time I ate it. I guess the expectation was that I should be asking every two minutes if my order is ready, when my expectation was that since three employees heard me ask the first time that one of them would let me know when it was done. read more

Very tasty food. Their sauce is do good, especially with the hibachi shrimp. Their beef is tender never enough sauce though. Always request more sauce on the side. Their rice can be hit or miss as in too dry or possibly sat around too long. Overall pretty good for the price you pay. read more

Whoever made my teriyaki style chicken and steak on 05/26/25 at 6:45 pm deserves a raise by a million dollars. This is the best it has ever been and i come here weekly. Genuinely the best thing i've ever eaten. I love you read more

Koji Express Japanese Grill - Steak was overcooked but overall delicious... - Japanese Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Want teppanyaki / hibachi but don't want to sit through a show and wanna roll through a drive thru? Koji is your place. Very simple menu, but very filling. I always get the #8 steak and chicken, but their scallops are great too. This place is a go to for comfort food. read more

I rely on koji to save me when I'm hungry and don't want to cook. I've only ever used the drive thru, which is always speedy. My favorite dish is the chicken and steak combo, even though the steak is usually a bit over cooked. The carrots are like dessert because they're so soft and sweet. I do wish there were more mushrooms and broccoli, but adding them is an extra $3.50. For veggies! No thanks. Overall, their food is great for fast hibachi. If you're an MTSU student, be sure to show your ID for a 10% discount. read more

Koji Express Japanese Grill - Steak and Chicken - Japanese Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Always good food and fast service! We try to eat here at least once a week. Love the carrots!

Love this place! Very fast friendly service. This place is always BUSY! But they will fly through some orders in NO time! I order the #5 steak and mushroom but without the carrots with extra rice! The carrots are great says my friends and husband but they are just not MY personal preference. I am addicted to their Yum Yum dipping sauce! Strongly recommend! read more

Aha, a new quick-service asian restaurant opened up on my side of town in the old Church's Chicken building. There were two tiers of plates, single-item (shrimp, chicken, beef etc) and combo items (shrimp/beef, scallop/beef etc). Both plates also come with flavorful rice and a vegetable (tonite it was sweet carrots). Prices ranged from just over $5 to $10 for the single meat dishes and $8-$14 for the double meat dishes. Kim, our cashier, was super nice and chatted with us as we finished our meal. Everyone seemed very friendly and I will be back to try some other combinations. The portions were generous and I felt like it was worth the increased price over typical fast food because of the serving size and the higher quality of the food. read more

Koji Express Japanese Grill - Japanese Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

My goodness I'm glad I stopped here!! I have never in my life tasted a sweet carrot so good! What a treat!! On top of that, the rice, broccoli, and shrimp were perfectly cooked. The steak was seasoned incredibly well. The yum yum sauce was good, but didn't have too much flavor. The scallops were a bit bland. A+ for the steak, shrimp, mushrooms, and broccoli, and B- for the scallop meal. I'll definitely visit here again!! Good prices, big portions, great hibachi taste! read more

Came here to pick up a delivery for a 3rd party platform. Picked my food up, that was given to my by their employee, in my car at the turn to leave, and some employee chases me to my car accusing me of theft. Wow, real professional to your 3rd party platforms. Would not recommend. read more

Horrible gave me my own missing dog on a plate looking at me horrible, hair was still on and was mean looking, will never eat at this place, service was all Chinese people so they didn't speak regularl so I had to bring my Asian friend with mean ji-li read more

When in a hurry Koji Express is great for that Japanese fix. I love their sweet carrots that come as a free side with your entree. The # 11 is my favorite: Shrimp and Chicken with mushrooms and broccoli. I have to admit however that I am kind of a novice here. The # 11 is all that I have ever tried. I found what I like, and have stuck with it. read more

I guess the Koji on Franklin Road has spoiled me. I ordered my usual Steak Hibachi with mushrooms sub zucchini and onions instead of carrots. The amount of veggies I got was so disappointing. I got like 5 mushrooms and 6 zucchini slices. I tried them again thinking it was a fluke but the same thing happened again! read more

After a long day of balling out on the basketball courts I found myself very hungry. I walked to the dining hall but it was closed!!! In the midst of the dark skies of my hunger there was a beam of light, Koji Express Japanese Grill. It was very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get( which is a very good portion). I went through the drive through and it was very fast and easy. I guess u could call the Koji sauce Ray Rice because it HIT THE SPOT! read more

FAST, FRESH, DELICIOUS! What more could you ask for? We got our HUGE portions insanely quick, served with a big thing of yum yum sauce on the side. I love this place!! AND the fact you can get fresh hibachi like this in a drive-thru is life changing! I keep thinking about how delicous my meal was... read more

The food here is great, but I wont be returning. The counter staff was rude, flippant, and not interested in providing service. I asked for the mushrooms in a dish to be served on the side (for a kid) and was told i could get the mushrooms with the meal or not. They refused to place the item in a small bowl, were unwilling to, and then wanted to charge me 2.79 extra for a side of mushrooms to add to the meal I was going to eat. The food here is good, but I will not be returning due to the flippant attitude of the female millenial at the counter. read more

Delicious for the Price. I can literally go to a Japanese Hibachi restaurant and spend $20 more for the same meal (Steak and Scallops) that I can buy from Koji without having to wait, and the best part is.......They almost taste the same. Yes, the hibachi has an experience that you can't get from a fast food joint, but for someone who works and just has a taste for some good Japanese food, This place takes the win. Oh! Did I mention that when you are in drive thru, they are FAST..... read more

At first I was kind of weary of this place, it's basically fast hibachi, but never judge a book by its cover is a true statement. I came on a Saturday night at 630, bad timing on my part because it was so busy, even the drive thru had 7 cars waiting. Waited at 15 minutes but it was worth the wait. I got the chicken and shrimp with mushrooms, broccoli, and the sweet carrots, side fried rice, and extra sauce and that came up to be about $16. Very cheap for the load of food they give you! The side order of rice was piled high, literally leaving no extra space in that to-go box. I shared the food with my mom and even had left overs for lunch for her and I. And the main course was piled high too. Everything was great, but I wish the rice had a little more flavor, I guess that's where the shrimp sauce comes in. Definitely coming back! read more

Great food, excellent service, and good pricing. Me and my family love to eat Koji, we definitely recommend

I was craving Asian food for lunch so I was reading the reviews on yelp and decided to give this place a try. You can either drive thru or go inside and order and eat there. The concept at this place is fairly new to me, I'm from CA and have never really seen a place like this. I'm use to places like Benihana's were you sit down and they cook everything for you. This place is a faster version of it. They have a good selection of plates and pictures for you to see if you can't really decide. I'm a visual person, so I was happy to see the pictures on the menu above the cashier. Their menu is very simple, so it made it a lot easier to choose. - Hibachi steak and chicken served with rice and mixed vegetables - the steak and chicken was cooked perfectly and the flavor was absolutely great. They had a side of ginger lemon type of sauce and it added a really good flavor to the dish. I used that sauce to dip my vegetables in. The onions, zucchini, mushrooms and broccoli was cooked perfectly. I'm usually not a fan of carrots, but they added these carrots on the side that was something that I have never tasted before. The carrots were so sweet and tender and I could have eaten that as my dessert. Overall I like this concept, it's quick service and good food. It looks like family owned so their hospitality is impeccable. Thanks Koji, I'm a big fan! I will come back to visit again when I'm in town. read more

Koji Express Japanese Grill - So good! - Japanese Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Really tasty dinner. You pay typically $12-16 total, after tax and with a drink. There's a student discount too if you have your ID. I got the teriyaki chicken and my friend got the teriyaki steak, both were super good. Definitely has a fast food vibe, (drive thu and order at counter type business), but you get regular restaurant quality food. read more

Koji Express Japanese Grill - Teriyaki chicken! 10/10 so good - Japanese Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Excellent food!! Extremely fresh and good quality ingredients.. Very Friendly and FAST service!! I ordered the #2 Teriyaki Chicken with broccoli and carrots.. it was delicious! Affordable, high quality food, with fast and friendly service.... it doesn't get much better than that! read more

The food was amazing. Got it with the drive though and they didn't give me forks or napkins in the bad.

I've eaten here many times, by picking up through the drive-thru and delivery. The food is always delicious and fresh tasting at a great price. read more

Don't let the outside turn you away from this place! Yes it has a drive thru, that's because you want to grab this takeout! Wonderful flavor, huge portions! Meat and vegetables are cooked perfectly. Fast food fresh and fairly healthy. I will definitely make this a regular spot. read more

Fast, friendly, tasty, and too much food. And you can easily eat for under $10. Love it! read more

This place always has a line so I thought I would try it again since it was bland no flavor the 1st time around so I got I. Line did my order and when they passed me my food it smelled burnt so he was like no it's not just fresh off the grill so when I got it home the broccoli was black maybe four shrimps barely. Chicken so for twelve dollars I will not be eating there again y'all can have it not worth the wait they are to overwhelmed with customers that they mess up the food read more

Love, love, love Koji! I'm so thankful that I can run through a drive-thru and have hibachi for my family. We go here at least 3 times a month. The sweet carrots dipped in koji sauce is my favorite! read more

They forgot to charge me for the koji sauce I ordered. Then they wanted to charge me for it by running my card again for $1. Wouldn't give me the sauce. Wouldn't let me talk to the manager. Apparently customer service is not a thing with them. read more

Koji Express is so convenient with the drive thru window. I always get quick and friendly service along with excellent food.

I love this establishment. I get the teriyaki chicken every single time I go. Gives you plenty of food at a good price and everyone is professional. read more

Waited over hour and 10 mins for a simple steak and shrimp dinner. I wouldn't of left had I not already paid.... worst service ever!!

People line up for this place all the time, and the parking lot is packed. It is a small shack and I decided to finally check it out. Good food, reasonable price. From the clientele and previous comments, this appears to be popular with the MTSU crowd. Apparently, the student discount is significant. Previous posts slammed these folks for the food being overly salty and of all things, the carrots got bad reviews. Why carrots would be the subject of so many reviews, I'll never know. The carrots are served on the side. I did not experience problems with either of these issues. Service is FAST. I spent less time waiting for my dine-in meal than I have at many major fast food chains who cook "to order". The cooks deserve kudos. They work their butts off. Spatulas on the hibachi were chattering the entire time I was there. I was about confused about what to do at the end of the meal. You get a REAL plate, and there was no obvious place to bus your own table. They bus just fine. One serving is enough for two people. As a diabetic, I left most of the rice and some of the sides. Prices are not a bargain, but are acceptable. I had the shrimp and steak meal. The shrimp were predictably small to medium, pre-cooked and obviously previously frozen. The steak had to be pre-cooked and warmed to serve. Not tender, but not tough and good flavor. All the vegetables added to the dish were fresh. If I went again, I would order the vegetable dish for economy and fresher taste. read more

Change sign to 845 on front door instead of 9 If you lock the front door most restaurants clean after they close

Food is ALWAYS fresh and good here!I really hope the expand to Williamson county soon!

Favorite go to restaurant. Food is always amazing. Lived here for years and never tried it- I've been missing out.

My 12 yr old wanted Koji. Placed my order thru Yelp at 7:24pm CST. Received an order confirmation at 8:19pm CST that order would be delivered by 9:19pm CST. Received an email and text from Eat24 that my order was confirmed. I'm on the phone at 9:56pm CST with Eat24. They are moving away from the Yelp platform, but work with a small local delivery service. They received confirmation from the delivery service and are checking on it now. They are unable to reach the delivery service, so they've canceled my order. Delivery services should be timely, accurate and efficient. read more
