Kenzi Hibachi Express — Restaurant in Pekin

EDIT: They have changed their steak and it’s DELICIOUS!! The steak is cut into smaller strips, and they’ve added onions and possibly a different marinade!! New picture added too! Very GOOD!!!!!!

Delicious food, BIG portions, amazing service! The generosity of this restaurant owner is unmatched, I mean where can you get a meal nowadays that feeds you for lunch, dinner, and breakfast the following morning? 1 meal makes 3 for me… for $12 (shrimp noodles)! This man sells canned sodas for $1, haven’t seen that price for 10 years at other places. This makes me a LOYAL customer and I’ll definitely be coming back and telling friends and co-workers about this place!!!

The truth is, a lot of people are exhausted and want to go home from a hard day’s work or spend the weekend relaxing instead of worrying about cooking and all the clean-up. With the state of the economy, it’s getting less and less affordable to eat out… making this restaurant a true gem!!!

The steak is seared perfectly, juicy, and flavorful, and the amount you get for the price is again very generous! The seared shrimp is my favorite! Great noodles and rice. Love the crab rangoons and especially the egg rolls!

This restaurant deserves many more customers for fresh, high-quality food, big portions, great prices and amazing...

To me, Hibachi style cuisine is my absolute favorite. Many area Hibachi style restaurants have similarly delicious food to Kenzi. What separates Kenzi from everywhere else is the price.

Usually for our family of 5 to eat at a sit down Hibachi style restaurant, it would cost us roughly $40/pp. With Kenzi, we can get 3 meals and it’s more than enough food for five of us for around $50! We can also get all the different types. Steak, chicken, shrimp, scallops, fried rice, noodles, etc.

Truly the best deal around. 10/10 food, pace of service, owner, everything.

Oh, and...

Lunch was amazing. I ordered chicken noodle and crab rangoon. $15. I started with the crab ofcourse. They were very good. Not too sweet. Then the noodles. Someone should mention there is enough for 2 people or lunch and dinner. There is alot of food. And it is good. What I can o ly assume was yum yum sauce was great to pour over and cut some salt from the soy sauce. Which still was not too much. A great lunch. If there were a couple tables outside it would have...
