Marc's Fusion Cafe

Manhattan-Level Asian Fusion Cuisine Tucked Away on Rockford’s Southwest Side.

Let’s cut to the chase: if you’re in Rockford and have a craving for exceptional Asian Fusion, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not visiting Marc’s Fusion Cafe.

As someone who dines out in Manhattan at least once a week, I’ve got a pretty discerning palate - so believe me when I say Marc’s Fusion Cafe doesn’t just meet the bar, it vaults right over it.

I took a chance on Marc’s Fusion’s signature dish and got floored by the quality of the seared tuna. Ever been shockingly delighted? That’s exactly how I felt as I ate that first piece of tuna. I experienced a similar sense of surprise after trying a California roll. You might expect this caliber of sushi on the coasts, but in the heart of the Midwest? It’s almost culinary heresy - in the best way possible.

As the meal progressed and more dishes arrived, one thing became crystal clear: whether it was meat, fish, or crustacean, each cut was near-perfect. I was in a gastronomic paradise and dreading the eventual final bite.

But every story has its end, and in this case, it was a raspberry sorbet that served as the perfect exclamation point to an unforgettable dining experience.

Absolutely amazing food, great serving size and prices. Each dish was an absolute flavor sensation and delicious. All the workers are incredibly nice and Jim kept checking up on us! We plan on coming back and trying different specials. Definitely worth going!!

As always, Marc did not disappoint!
We were there tonight to celebrate our 34th anniversary and had great sushi, sashimi, and rolls. They were very busy so a little wait on the food but it was well worth it!!!

All around amazing experience!! Food was absolutely amazing!! Staff is Excellent!! ❤

Awesome experience start to finish, as always. We brought our 3 year old, and they were so great. Marc made him cheater chopsticks, and the waitress gave him a complimentary ice cream sandwich. Plus, hands down the best sushi, crab rangoon, & fried rice around.

I actually drive down from Madison, Wisconsin to come here. Grew up eating the sushi at this place, and I actually came here first after passing my driving test at 16. Lots of good memories and lots of good food.

Our favorite Sushi Spot in Rockford! Definitely not traditional sushi. The fusion aspect is heavily played with. A great example is the fajita roll. It is so good!

I'm surprised this came up as one I haven't reviewed??? Very odd.
Marc's is the best around for BOTH steak & chicken, & all things sushi related.
Their hot sauce is the best.
The owner finally after years of doing it caught me dumping a virtual bowl of that spicy goodness on my meal.
I was quite amused by his response as I'm certain he thinks I'm definitely crazy ! :)
But for those who know :
'Jim's Fusion hold the shrimp '
(sorry - allergic)
Is my favorite !

This place is Rockfords best hidden secret. It is a quaint little restaurant that seats about 50 people (maybe less). They do not take reservations but it is truly worth the wait. Great sushi and the pork chops are amazing. Fried rice is also great!

Good restaurant. Based on the exterior, i would have entered. Familly owned sushi but only. Great.

Great service, delicious food

Nice small joint, good food.
Friendly staff.

First time going there I was pleasantly surprised small intimate setting great sushi great service

My husband and I went here for the first time last night. It was our date night. It was recommended to us by several people. What a neat experience! The place is cozy and quaint. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was awesome, the atmosphere was perfect! This place is a true gem and we will definitely be going back!

Amazing service!!! We had a flat tire and the owners and staff made sure we were taken care of before they left the restaurant. Food was fabulous as always!!!

Hidden Gem!! Hands down one of the best Restaurants in Rockford. Highly recommend!! You will not be disappointed.

My friend and I dined in tonight 08/06 for the first time. We came right at opening time since we had heard it was small and filled up quickly. This is true! I’d say there are around 12? tables. I’m not exactly sure. We were seated right away. We were served our drinks immediately. We ordered 4 different kinds of sushi, chicken fried rice & crab cakes. Our sushi came out so fast which we appreciated! The presentation was so nice that we had to take a picture before we ate! The California rolls were amazing as well as the shrimp tempura. We took three boxes home! My friend said the lemonade tasted better than most restaurants as it was not watered down. My waitress was kind and the people working there all looked clean and presentable. We will probably take out from here soon!

We ordered 3 different types of rolls, California, shrimp tempura,and cucumber for my husband. We had shrimp and crab cakes for an appetizer, my husband ordered 22oz ribeye steak that was cooked to perfection, medium, Mard Ti adult libation and was offered raspberry ice-cream for dessert on the house. We had no room fot ice-cream so we politely decided, since we had leftovers to take home.

Great food, amazing service! Love this place!!! 10/10

My first time there and the food was delicious.
