“Absolutely loved this place. The first time we went we were the only ones there besides one other couple, and that was perfect. It was very delicious ? the first time we went we tried the heaven beef ?, it was so good we ordered two when we went back the second time. We also tried the special pho, which was very good and had a decent portion of the sides w it. When we came back we tried the pineapple fried rice which was very good, and had a different flavor in it than I expected. We also tried the pannang curry, which none of us liked, but came highly recommended. Maybe we just don't like curry ? the sesame chicken and orange chicken both came out so crunchy and saucy we were drooling ?.“
“This place was great! The service was great as well. I got the egg roll vermicelli salad which was delicious, but I also tried the steak pho. The broth was to die for. It was fresh, tasty, and needed no condiments. I would visit this place again and recommend it to you! Additionally, they had a huge drink menu with so many yummy flavors!“
“Crab Rangoon, NY steak and lobster and the desert that came with meal, Vegas roll. Great prices and I highly recommended. First time here, very professional owner came out and asked me how the steak was that he cooked. I’d put this place up against Shogun or JMK Nippon any day!“
“We stoped in for lunch today, a party of six which three of them had never been there before so we were exited for them! The place filled up super quickly and there was only one server Noe, he did not loose his cool with the amount of pressure he had with all those tables!! He was polite, he took our drink and appetizer orders. Once our appetizers came out Noe took our lunch order. Here comes the fun part.. Ms. Bonny (sweet lady, very welcoming) brings out our food (beautiful plates, smelling delicious) she was all smiles, very polite. Bonny came back a couple of times to check on us to make sure we were all good and happy with our meals. She did not loose her cool as she was also helping out Noe by bringing out food and drinks for all the other tables. We enjoyed our lunch and we all agreed we will come back with more coworkers for future lunches and with our families! Thank you Bonny and Noe!“
“Suzanne is fantastic, our families favorite servers from anywhere in town. Always makes the customers experience the priority, keep up the good work. When our daughters are back to visit we look forward to our time together at Izakaya because we know the food is on point and it will be a great experience.“
“We stopped by for the first time for a late afternoon meal. Service seemed slower than expected, but staff was very friendly. My daughter enjoyed the experience of the sushi deluxe! The Veggie tempura was amazing! The chicken fried rice was very flavorful. Looking forward to enjoying another meal here the next time we are in the area.“
“Crab rangoon. Do you like it? I sure do and they have arguably the best. Never had a bad dish, but the rangoon keeps me returning. Keep in mind this isn't cheap food, but I think it's worth it. They may say 20-25min wait, but it's always been done before the 20min mark. Never had a messed up order or bad service. As Rockford residents, we need to keep them around. It's one of the few gems we have here.Only downside (which isn't their fault so I won't count it against them) is thr typically frustrating street parking you can expect of downtown.“
“We went from JMK to here. There was an hour wait there so we decided to try out this place instead. There was no waiting and we got seated immediately. The miso soup was salty but we managed to drink it slowly. I had the garlic chicken and the Aquaman roll.“
“Chilly night and we didn’t feel like cooking the night before Thanksgiving, so we dined in and ordered steak pho - excellent! Warmed us right up. Also enjoyed the pan-fried potstickers and crispy egg rolls. Our server was very sweet and attentive. Nice atmosphere, immaculately clean. Glad to have Golden Bowl in the neighborhood!“
“Great variety of sushi. I have tried multiple different rolls and I have not been disappointed at all. Service has been good each time I have visited and be sure to review the food and drink specials as you enter. Not a large restaurant so calling ahead for reservations could be very helpful especially during Friday and Saturday evenings or if you have a larger group.“
“I work nearby and frequently stop by for Lunch while on shift. The food is always top quality and made quickly, and the staff are awesome friendly people. Highly highly recommend, I almost never leave reviews but this restaurant has impressed me since the day they opened and continues to every visit!“
