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.

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.

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.

TL;DR: Food was served quickly, was tasty, and I would eat there again…read more Details: I ordered Vegetables Hibachi, which tasted similar to most of the fast-Japanese food available locally, and I ordered Vegetable Noodles, which is different than what you can get at most of the area fast-Japanese places which mostly serve fried rice with their hibachi fare. The noodles were similar to fettuccini in width and slid easily into my mouth. Portions were filling for both of the items. The dipping sauce was tiny sized, but plenty-and reminded me of Thousand Island salad dressing, but slightly different. The vegetables for both were onions, carrots, broccoli, and some sort of squash/zucchini, all sliced small/mini-bite sized. The spring rolls are the deep-fried kind, and vegetable. Not sure if these come with a dipping sauce. Plenty of my friends seem to enjoy their bubble teas-might try this on a return visit. They also have Rayume sodas. Location is in a parking lot across the street from the Menard's on IL 173, just West of Rockford Speedway. The parking area is not well lit, so beware of the large potholes that will gobble up your tires as quickly as you will gobble up this tasty food in a few parts of the lot, but there is plenty of open, free, parking, and it feels safe. If they are busy, they will give you a pager so you don't need to stand around the trailer after you order and pay (they accept credit cards and cash). I assume the parking lot allows for semi trucks, as it's huge, spacious, and on a state highway/not far from the I-90/I-39/US51 interchange and assumed to be on a truck route. No restroom facilities on site: it's a food truck.

We've been here a few times and we've gotten the sushi and the bulgogi and both were excellent. Very tasty and would definitely recommend. The portion sizes (for the price) we felt like were a little small, so that's the only reason I took a star off. The staff are great, our waitresses both times have been awesome and super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is modern and clean. They had a sign today saying they were new management. Glad to see a restaurant like this keep going downtown!

We ordered the karaage chicken and the Korean ramen with shrimp, One spicy and one mild. The karaage was juicy but wasn't crispy enough to me. They used what looked like a tempura batter. My daughter had the mild ramen and she said it was good. I had the spicy and it wasn't spicy enough for me and just needed a bit more flavor to the broth. It only has about 4-5 small shrimp. The lady was nice enough to bring me more paprika but that didn't do it for me. It was just missing something.

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.
