Went to Marc's Fusion for the first time last night and I was literally blown away by the food. Everything we ordered was beyond spectacular. The seafood was some of the best I've ever had, "Yellow Fin Tuna" was off the charts good. Calamari was the to die for, and the fried rice was amazing. I had lost faith that Rockford had any decent restaurants left, but this little gem was absolutely beyond my comprehension.

Visited for the very first time yesterday. I.m so mad I didn't try this place sooner. Atmosphere was great. Food was fantastic, best tempura I.ve ever had. Portions were huge. Amanda was our server, super friendly, very attentive and had spot on recommendations. Can t wait to go back
Service was good and they were able to fit a table of three quickly at 6pm on a Saturday.I was recommended this place by a friend, who happens to be a cook for a bar. We ordered smoked salmon, rainbow, california, and Marc’s Fusion rolls—combining avocado, cilantro, tuna, and cheese maybe. Not bad, but kind of sloppy. My boys said the sushi was “pretty good.” I also ordered the pork chop dinner, medium. It was charred in several spots. Some of it was well and others medium, so a bit inconsistent. The pieces were massive and that did not disappoint. The mango side dish was excellent. But it didn’t have much flavor and was watery. The rice was undercooked. Two small pieces of asparagus. I was asked if I wanted to add onions or mushrooms. I am not a fan of add ons/extra charges so I said no. Apologies if it wasn’t not extra.I ordered a “Tom Tom” ginger cocktail with real ginger, lemon, and gin. It was $7 which isn’t the steepest drink you can get, but it was rather unimpressive.Desert was cheesecake with cherry on top. One of my sons said this was the best thing. It was doused in whip cream, which was probably done for the kids.The place is kind of dumpy on the outside and not in the best strip mall. There’s a Dunkin Donuts beside it and a few Mexican-American businesses and an “Empire Beauty” business next to it. A “cozy” environment inside, however some things are needing to be updated, like some drop ceiling tiles that are clearly ripped and others that are popping out of the frame. Because they are ceiling items and painted black, some people might not notice.Total bill was $97, left 15% tip. I may repeat. But probably not anytime soon.

A small hole in the wall restaurant that I definitely plan on returning to sometimes to satisfy my craving. I'm not much of a seafood eater but I do really enjoy their non-seafood options with their Fajita rolls (beef) and Hannibal (chicken tempura) roll. Portion feels adequately priced as well. The fried rice is also tasty.
Parking: Small strip mall of sort.

I was taken to Marc's Fusion Cafe by friends who told me it was a local gem that I had to try. They did not lie! Just wow. Every item we tried was an absolute winner for freshness, flavor, presentation, and perfection.The Vegas roll was one of the tastiest I've ever had, exploding with an incredible combination of flavors and texture. Crab Rangoon was crispy and crabby with generous portions of crab and the homemade sweet/sour sauce was a perfect compliment. Jim's fusion was an incredible entree, a little bit of everything, yet the distinct flavor of each component was still present. Add a sauce that I couldn't begin to do justice describing (sweet, spicy, salty, tangy, citrus, umami, everything good in the world) and it was just incredible. One of my friends had the filet and she commented that it was likely the best steak to be had in greater Rockford.Portion sizes were large, we all took food home. Prices were better than I'd expect, especially after experiencing the incredible quality. Service was prompt, attentive, friendly, and personal. This is a small venue and your patronage will be appreciated and personally acknowledged by the staff and/or owner.Free parking in adjacent surface lot. Come early for a table, there aren't a lot to be had. They also do takeout, and judging by the steady stream of pickups I saw, they must also be doing that right!It's always great to discover a new favorite. Marc's Fusion Cafe earned that ranking with me tonight.
Parking: Free parking in surface lot surrounding the restaurant. Plenty of spaces available.
Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome here.
Wheelchair accessibility: It will be a little tight because this restaurant is tiny, but don't let that stop you. This is too good to miss!
