    We ordered their duck confit, sashimi set, sashimi roll, miso soup and octopus. Every dish we had was sooo good! I can’t compare it to other japanese restaurants we’ve tried. I can’t wait to go back to try their hand presses sushi rolls and canapes.

    Not your standard sushi restaurant. All the dishes we had, had so much unexpected flavour. From the miso soup to the bluefin nori canapés. It was excellently delicious Japanese cuisine. Definitely recommend.

    MARU provided a warm and lowkey ambiance that created a comfortable atmosphere. The service was not only inattentive but also un-friendly. We were not greeted and did not receive any guidance or warmth from our server. The food on the other hand, was excellent. Each dish had its own spin on the buttery shashimi which melted in your mouth. Overall a decent experience but service was not up to par considering the price range.

    Good food and friendly service, however, I was there to have the hamburg steak (which was on the online menu), unfortunately, this dish was not on the actual menu. They should have updated the online menu if the dish is no longer available.

    Friendly and attentive service and delicious food! The hand held sushi canapés (little nori sandwiches) were perfection. Highly recommend!
