    Chicago roll
    Gayl B.

    We came here with a party of 11 and were seated in what seemed to be our our little room. Maybe they thought we looked like a loud group? Did we get special treatment? I'll go with the latter because I think someone in our party actually made reservations. I had THE BEST seaweed salad! Yes, here in Rockford, Illinois! The seaweed salads that I have had in the past have been great as I eat through the seaweed and then I encounter ... rice. Not with this seaweed salad, delicious seaweed and then some delicious crab on a bed of cucumbers. 5 stars all the way. Next up, I shared a couple of rolls with the hubby. Of course, one was the Chicago roll! They were both melt-in-my-mouth goodness. Because both rolls were tempura rolls, I was FULL at the end of the meal. Satisfied from good food and full. Service was fantastic and the cost was very reasonable.

    Dinner with my lovely wife
    G F.

    My wife and I come here a lot, normally the sushi is outstanding - last night was I was VERY disappointed. I've eaten here probably 2 dozen times (never reviewed before) and the fish quality was subpar. The sashimi/sushi combo that we normally get had all the cheap nasty fish all in smaller portions and none of the stuff we asked for. We asked for more salmon, offered to pay more for a custom selection and they brought us everything but salmon. Service was slow as hell. We ordered fried rice from the other restaurant and it came out warm, not hot, not cold probably just sat too long waiting for our server. I'd say this place hits the mark 9/10 times so not sure what the disconnect was last night. The sushi restaurant was not busy at all and most people seemed to be in the hibachi area (Shogun).

    Macku Udon

    This is one of our regular sushi spots. We always get the sizzling sashimi! We also ordered the Macku Udon today. Lots of veggies and mushrooms The broth was very flavorful. It also comes with a shrimp tempura. They always have drink specials during the week! Service here is always excellent! Would also recommend Izakaya 88 for karaoke night!

    Martini is cheap. The decor is some of the best in Rockford. The sushi menu is creative. The tapas menu is swanky and inexpensive.

    Sushi is amazing. The bar staff is pretty good. I think the manager could be friendly, but whatever. Nice atmosphere.
