Maru Sushi & Grill

"Everything, just everything, was perfect during my experience dining with Maru. Originally, I dined with a party of three, which grew to a party of five after we spotted some friends. The staff eagerly accommodated us by seating us directly next to each other, and even offered to rearrange tables and chairs if we wanted to sit together at one table. The food was lovely and delicious: I loved the Philly roll and the gyoza. However, the absolute stars of our meal were the crunchy shrimp roll and the chestnut tea. Speaking of the tea, our server was extremely hospitable, and when we asked what brand the tea was, they brought out the entire tea package for us to snap a picture of. This exchange would only account for a small percentage of the total, and the perfect service we received from the staff. Our server's recommendations truly elevated the dishes to an entirely different level. I would highly recommend two things: the spicy aioli and the delectable basil oil for your side salad. Speaking of the side salad, when my girlfriend and I ordered, we thought that since we only spent $16 (enough for a side soup or salad), we would receive one salad or soup because we spent only enough for one. It was to our surprise when our server handed us two salads with the best ginger dressing I have ever had in my life. That may seem like a small detail to some, but after bad food experience after bad food experience from other restaurants. It was very refreshing to be treated like our patronage was appreciated and not just a business transaction. Lastly, I want to add that the portion sizes are fantastic. My friends, who joined us after we arrived, have picky 5-year-old-esque palates. They ordered the hibachi teriyaki chicken, which they really enjoyed, and the portion sizes were huge. My experience at Maru was terrific, and I want to thank the staff."

The food was good, the service was better! Sit at the sushi bar for the best experience. I usually make all my own kimchi at home and skip the stuff at restaurants but theirs was decent and they gave us a refill! It's definitely fusion sushi, lots of fried rolls and various sauces and cream cheese on the menu, but it was tasty!"

"Group dinner on a Wine Wednesday night. Waited about 10 minutes to get a table, and were probably the last table to be seated for the night. Service was friendly and timely, and the food was good. I really enjoyed the Teriyaki Chicken Hibachi plate, and the Philly Roll was decent. Biggest frustration of the night was the noisy environment - the restaurant layout made it hard to hear our own conversation at a round table of 6 due to ambient noise. Street parking is right outside, but at peak time we had to wait a moment for a spot from a leaving party."
