Izakaya 88 - Rockford

It's good the sushi portion is not worth the price but the variety of the menu is really cool my favorite is the ramen they have. And it's also a great date spot

We have a group ordering both steak and chicken, the meat was not tender at all, very disappointing. The environment is nice, with lots of fancy decorations. Nice service.

Love it here and they have a great gluten free selection! Highly recommend their sushi, steak, and rices!

The top 3 spots in my book for sushi. I've came here several times with my family, friend's, date night, girls night more. Everytime has been consistent. Their food is amazing, their sushi is high quality full of flavors. I love their fried rice, with the spicy garlic! I don't do their hibachi side much because I don't like the smell of the grill on my clothes, but i still order from it without getting the experience of the chef cooking in front of us. Their Mai Tais are also amazing. The ambiance of this place is perfect for several different occasions. They even have a karaoke area a lounge area with 2 big TVs to watch sports or whatever. Can't forget their happy hours either. I believe it is 430p to 6p, but they have decent amount of items for nearly half off. Last time my family of 3 went had plenty of food for just under $40!

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.
