Kenzi Hibachi Express

Japanese restaurant

👍👍 Probably the one of three gems in Pekin. This one by far the best kept secret. AND IT SHOULD NOT BE. Honestly only good Asian cuisine I've found in Pekin. Must try! Order pick up ready in 10 min. Steak noodles are the go to!

Fusion Poke

Poke bar

👍👍 This place has quickly become one of my go-to spots when I get home late from work and don't have the energy to cook. The ramen, sushi, and poke bowls are all great quality for a fair price. Tuesdays are buy one, get one 50% off for sushi rolls. Definitely recommend!
