Great staff! We got our two sushi rolls under 10mins

We ordered there today, the first time. We ordered Salmon Teriyaki and Tuna Poke bowl. My husband usually is very picky but he said this salmon teriyaki’s the best he ever had, not too raw and not too old, just properly done with perfect flavor. I’m quite satisfied with my poke too. One of the best. Only thing I hope they can do better is that I hope they could have indoor or outdoor seating instead of serving only takeouts. We would revisit anyway.

inexpensive and good food ? fav sushi place on earth

The sushi is great. I went down to Dana Point and this place hit the spot. The flavor was fresh and good quality. The Jalapeño peppers were tasty but i wish they were a little more crunchy.

He told me to calm down and I was just talking with a friend

The manager there was very rude and was not welcoming. Will never come there again or recommend to anyone.

One of my favorite spots in Dana Point.

Excellent sushi. I drive all the way from San Clemente at least once a week to get Sushi from Maki Yaki.

Maki Yaki Japanese Restaurant is simple and delicious. They have a few different hand rolls to choose from or you can go with the set menus. If you don't like a particular roll in the set menu, you can always substitute it for something else. The yellowtail hand roll is my favorite but If they have the uni roll available, I would recommend trying it. There hand rolls are made after you finish the previous hand roll so that the seaweed is nice and crunchy. It is all bar seating so try going with 4 or less in a party or break up your party to get seated quicker. It is hard to find street parking but they have a parking garage next to the restaurant.

Great food, super friendly employees, always excellent atmosphere. They charge affordable prices and the food quality is great. Highly recommended.
