JMK Nippon

This place is beautiful with Koi ponds and plants, stone walls and floors, wall waterfall and sword displays. The food is good. I could tell our chef was new so not very polished or talkative, but he prepared the meals well. For me, the atmosphere is too busy and loud. Our waitress was attentive, but too busy to remember things we told her. Had to ask for napkins twice before she brought them, then asked the chef and waitress three times total for pineapple birthday desert (which she confirmed) and after the meal she just brought the check instead. It wasn't on our bill, but sad they couldn't have done that for the birthday. She didn't have time to interact or give us eye contact even, she would run by our table and pick up empty bowls and never look back. Felt very rushed - in and out as fast as they could. Drinks, food, check: next. Not as friendly and attentive as it was the last time we went there.

I had a great experience at JMK Nippon Hibachi. I went on a Thursday, so it wasn’t too busy, which made the visit even better. I ended up getting a hibachi table all to myself, so the chef was cooking just for me. That made the experience feel really personal and relaxed. The chef did a great job with the cooking and presentation, and the food tasted really good. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the entire visit, making sure everything was perfect and that I had a great dining experience. One of the things I really liked was the drinks served in unique ceramic cups that you can take home. That’s a fun and memorable touch that you don’t see everywhere and definitely adds to the overall experience. Overall, great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Rockford. 🍣🔥🥢

We came here for drinks and dinner and had the time of our lives. I guess the owner heard our laughter and got us a round of drinks on the house!! phenomenal service and great food we loved it.

I just had dinner at JMK Nippon’s Japanese restaurant, as I’ve done many times over the past 40 years. 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.

It was my first time here, I loved all decoration and felt Japanese style. Food was surprising for me , it wasn't very good. I have been to Japan many times, and I love Japanese food and also Thailand has many Japanese restaurants. They are cooking the same style, but it tastes much better. Here, it was salty and American sized portions. Suishi must provide quality ingredients and not so much rice and to big of size.
