My family absolutely loves this place, and we've created countless memories here--celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, New Year's Eve, and more. Over all these years, we've never had a bad experience. The food is always excellent, the service consistently friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere remains warm and welcoming. This time, Diego was our chef, and he was both entertaining and skilled--making the experience even more enjoyable while preparing a delicious meal. JMK Nippon continues to be one of our favorite places to dine.

This was a recommendation from a friend and I must say this was an absolute disaster. The filet…read moremignon was tough, scallops soggy and the shrimp was like rubber. Also, the rice was bland.

Amazing food and service. I got the salmon teriyaki lunch which came with rice, veggies and my…read morechoice of soup or salad. My favorite part had to be the soup, it was so good! This was my first time going to a hibachi style restaurant and I really enjoyed it. I'm sure the chefs have been doing this for years, yet they didn't seem tired of it at all. I enjoyed the food and experience, and I would recommend this to anyone who's looking for a Japanese restaurant and a good time.

We went on Mother's Day, of course the place was packed when it opened at 4:30pm. We had a…read morebirthday to celebrate also. 3 school age children who were really looking forward to the Japanese chef doing their tricks at the grill. Our chef introduced himself as Johnny and proceeded to appear very hurried. Telling our table' no tricks today In a hurry very busy today. Come back tomorrow". The 3 kids felt cheated and we couldn't relax. Our BIrthday celebration was hurried. Birthday song sung so fast and in the middle of the room not at our table. I hadn't been to Shogun's in over 20 years. What a disappointing decline in service. Our steak was tough. Don't think I'll go back. Oh, but they tacked on a 20% gratuity fee automatically.

Top items would be korean beef tacos, pork belly, soft shell crab BLT, spicy garlic bowl. You can also order sushi on this side which you have to try the Rockford roll and the BSCR.

I could tell they had just mopped and everything looked fresh and new. Once I met the person at the desk to take my order, things turned around. He was awesome. Gave me an amazing suggestion and talked about the menu. He had it made, and I watched, in about 7 minutes. Then, when I tried the food (I got the pork ramen) I realized why this place has such amazing reviews. This was delicious. I usually go to ramen & tea but now I'm going to have to alternate. This place was amazing def giving it 5 stars.

The concept of the shop is a fusion of Japanese and Korean ramen & snacks. The "Izakaya" in the…read morename might be a bit misleading in that there were no tatami mats and there's no alcohol. There are ten tables of four and some counter spaces also. Quite spacious. The food was tasty. The pork ramen was good, especially the way the pork was grilled. The chicken ramen was good - the chicken pieces were super tender.

It was nice, then, to have been pleasantly surprised by a clean, stylish restaurant, nicely adorned for Christmas with a very good food. We ordered the Dragon Roll - generous serving, nicely sweet and crunchy. We also tried the Shrimp Stir Fried Egg Noodle which was also a nice-sized portion, with large, freshly cooked shrimp, fresh stir fried broccoli and plenty of udon style noodles. My wife and I both agreed this was a solid meal, reasonably priced, and a place to which we will return, or order take out to savor at home.

Got pretty okay choices of appetizers and sushi in Belvidere. Hibachi Days is a newer restaurant…read morewith great options. It has a lot of variety. A lot more authentic than it looks. They have made things acceptable enough for Americanized preferences and tastes. First thing to know is there's a few areas. It's got the hibachi where they grill things on it. Then there's the classic sushi bar where they roll it and then chop it up. Cool concept. There's built in fun and entertainment. Has many choices. It's about $6 for the cheapest rolls. Has a few okay for vegetarians to get. We had the Avocado and the Cucumber Rolls. Great flavor. There's also the Tempura Sweet Potato Rolls but they put eel sauce on these. Just leave it off and it will be okay. The hibachi selections also include one with tofu. A lot to get here. There's also tons of noodles and other stuff. Has quite a big menu of many choices. It's closed Tuesdays. There's a few things okay for vegetarians.

The smoothie teas from here are to die for! I got the blackberry while my guy got kiwi and they…read morewere both delicious, but the blackberry came out ahead for me. I got quite a few brain freezes, but it was all worth it especially in such a hot summer day. Foodwise, I liked the Cucumber Salad a lot, but ended up getting a bit bored of the flavor about halfway through the dish. The Takoyaki was really good and flavorful! It's hard to find good takoyaki that doesn't have the texture of mush. My guy and I split the Black Garlic Tonkotsu. It was good, but I've had better. It's a pretty small amount of food for the price and the overall flavor is okay. I didn't get a strong garlic flavor, unfortunately. It's a newer place from what I've gathered so I'm sure they will only improve from here in out.

I got the black garlic and it was very flavorful. I'd say maybe a touch salty if I was being nit picky, but it was a solid bowl of ramen. My friend really liked the tonkotsu he got.

This place is great five stars!…read more I've read most of the most current reviews... anybody who is complaining about the customer service at this establishment (not a food stand)... Is an idiot !! Who goes to the mall food court for customer service anyways? This is the only restaurant in the food court at the mall. They had a line of 10+ people, every other place was empty. Food was amazing! Definitely reminded me of a similar restaurant in a Randhurst Mall from when I was a kid. Will be back!! Way better than "Lung Fung 2" by a long shot!!

I literally got yelled at today by the woman behind the counter for "taking the wrong food" from…read morethe window when we waited our turn and it was given to us by the servers. Was shocked because I have never been yelled at before here, even if the service has been a little lacking. I calmly told her she didn't need to yell and she completely ignored me and went right to the next customer, not giving me any direction on what to do next. Thankfully the other workers there helped me and were almost apologetic for her behavior. I've loved their food for literal decades and that is still 5 stars, but her yelling at customers and blaming them for something that they obviously need a better system for takes the service down to 1 star. Would love to see someone else more friendly working the front counter.
