On the recommendation from a dear friend, we made the drive from Kenosha to Rockford to try JMK. It WAS worth the trip for sure. Everything was great about this place. The sushi options are amazing and very flavorful. I want to give 5 stars straight across the board. My only complaint, which some people might not agree with me on, is the size of the pieces of sushi. With food, generally, bigger is better. Not so much with sushi. The rolls were so big that I had to cut the piece in half just to eat it. (And, I admit, I have a big mouth, lol) I have never had to do this before & I didn’t like it. I like being able to take one whole piece and eat the whole piece. Sounds like first world problems, I know, sorry. But, that’s part of the experience of eating sushi, in my opinion. If they could tighten up those rolls a little more, it would be 5 stars. Overall, a great place for sushi. I would recommend them to anyone. Just be prepared for the extraordinary sushi roll sizes…Enjoy!

First and only time we have been here. Won't be a second time. The failures started with the front of the house at the door. My wife and I came to the reception desk, and the 2 girls working there just stared at us blankly. There was no "hello" or "welcome to so and so" or "how can I help you." We had to ask for a place to sit, then had to ask how the setup went as far as if we could order Hibachi from the regular dinner side of the house or not. The miso soup was delivered... hair on the bowl. Sushi roll came, no soy sauce dipping bowls. Silverware had old food on it. Food was bland tasting. Trash floating in the fish pond right outside our window. Fruit flies were a constant nuisance. Waitstaff were inattentive, slow and nit well trained. I can't say it enough... this was not a good experience from start to finish.

What a great surprise! Went to this restaurant with low expectations and it was a wonderful surprise! It is not just food, it is the experience. Good food, great service and atmosphere. Prices also very good, we were in a group and the best choice was the dinner for 2 with upgraded option for fillet mignon. The salad and soup as starters also very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the city.

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.
