Octane Rkfd - Rockford

During my visit to the city, I chose to dine at Octane after noticing their excellent reviews and impressive menu options. The selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes is abundant, truly offering something for everyone! I ordered the spicy buffalo cauliflower bao buns, and they were absolutely perfect—*chef's kiss*! The service was outstanding as well; our waiter and bartender were both very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

First and foremost, a big thank you to the staff for their warm welcome. They were truly the nicest people we could have encountered. Now, let's talk about the food and drinks—absolutely amazing!

Great place for a bit randomly mixed Asian food we had the Thursdays and it was amazing. service was great and a nice environment for dinner and drinks.

Amazingly friendly staff, and somehow, even better food. The curry chicken sandwich is so good, it ought to be a crime. Stupendously juicy and flavor for days, it's a grand slam. The cocktails they make are works of gorram art. The Smokey Ryder is made with actual cedar smoke in the glass, and the gin blossom is unbelievable. They're both beyond fantastic.

Octane RKFD is at a great location near the river in the Main Street District of downtown Rockford. Free street parking and a parking lot across the street. Located in a chic-industrial building with a large and stylish bar inside. The menu is Asian inspired including some unique fusion style boa buns, lumpia rolls, mazemen (broth-less Ramen) and traditional Ramen on Thursdays. Their cocktails are also delicious and we want to go back to try the rest! Wine list and beer list as well. Looking forward to coming back.
