JMK Nippon

Such fresh food, perfectly cooked and seasoned, in a BEAUTIFUL atmosphere, and with great service. Every time I drive by Rockford I will be buzzing in here for a delicious meal. I had a tuna poke bowl, shrimp, miso soup, and lemonade. Yum!!!Food: 5/5

My girlfriend and I came here on a whim while we we're spending the night in Rockford on a road trip. Wow! What a great surprise. I have never taken so many pictures of the inside of a restaurant. It's beautiful. We got to meet a wonderful family from Dixon. The Hai!ball was great! The food was great! I can't wait till we get a chance to stop here again!

We were there with a rather large group with a lot of moving parts and several birthdays being celebrated of multiple ages so I won't judge them on the celebration singing. Our server was outstanding however others in our group at the next table over were not as fortunate as their server was not friendly or efficient. Our server and chef did fantastic at making sure our orders were cooked and served correctly. The parking is free and plentiful & the place is totally handicap accessible which is greatly appreciated. We ordered the dinner for 2 which came with soup, salad, shrimp appetize, steak, chicken and either shrimp or scallops, vegetables and white rice however you can get fried rice for an up charge. The drinks were very good and served quickly and kept full.

Never had a bad experience here. Staff are very friendly and watching the sous chef cook is always fun and entertaining. Food and drinks were great as alwaysFood: 5/5

JMK Nippon has been the place to go for years. Their teppan tables are a great entertainment if you have the time. Usually, my family and I can be found on the cafe side. You can get the same menu options without the show. During weekends there is a hefty wait- reservations suggested. They have add a gluten-free option for those with restrictions. You can even catch the owner walking around from time to time. Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free menu

I haven't been here for about 2 years. The food and service is still excellent, so fresh. I love how the chefs prepare the food and use fire and theatrics to bring your experience to life.Food: 5/5

Went here with my wife and our friends. The food was amazing and the chef did a great job. I know it's a Friday night and it's busy however my wife was waiting on a refill for her drink for a good bit where another server had to get it for her. Again I'm going to leave it up to being busy on a Friday though. Overall it was great.Food: 5/5

My recent visit to this restaurant left me with a mixed bag of impressions. While there were some positive aspects, there were also notable areas that need improvement. Let's start with the positives. The restaurant boasts an upscale ambiance that exudes elegance, but without the exorbitant prices typically associated with such places. The accessible pricing is certainly a welcomed surprise, making it an attractive option for those seeking a nice dinner without breaking the bank. The server assigned to our table was courteous and prompt, ensuring that our orders were taken swiftly. However, this is where the positivity ends, as the food brought to our table was incorrect, and disappointingly, no effort was made to rectify the mistake or offer a replacement dish. This lack of attention to detail was disheartening, especially when coupled with the absence of a birthday celebration for a member of our party who had hoped for a little something special. Additionally, the hosts at the entrance could benefit from some training. Though they were not outright rude, their demeanor suggested they could use some improvement in their customer service skills. A warmer and more welcoming attitude would undoubtedly enhance the overall dining experience for patrons. All things considered, this restaurant is suitable for a regular dinner outing, but I wouldn't recommend it as a birthday celebration destination, given the lack of any special acknowledgment. While the experience as a whole had its shortcomings, the restaurant's potential is evident. In summary, I am giving it three stars primarily due to the overall experience, and the issues with the hosts were a significant factor in this rating. I sincerely hope that the management takes note of these areas for improvement, as addressing them could elevate the restaurant's standing in the future. Please note that this review is based on my personal experience and may not necessarily reflect others' encounters at the restaurant.

My husband and I ate here for dinner, we ordered a couple rolls of sushi and each out steak and chicken. The sushi came out warm I have never had sushi that is warm it was not a pleasant taste. The service was absolutely horrible. I waited for a glass of water for about 45 minutes. Our server left and they never replaced him.Food: 2/5
