It's not fresh, you shouldn’t pay over $100 for a meal and get served with dry sashimi. I could clearly see that the fish meat turns a little dark (probably exposed in air for hours). Their sea urchins tastes like watery fluid, nothing like the ones I had in other sushi places. You could definitely find a cheaper restaurant with better service and food.
The gobo root french fries are special, I have never tasted anything like this before. Good appetizer.The $49 omakase is good but not great. The Japanese blue fish is my favorite.The other dishes wowed me.- Japanese scallop tempura with truffle- A5 wagyu beef carpaccio with truffle- Otoro tastings (three different types of fatty tuna)
Delicious Japanese food with a hint of Mexican fusion. Although the food is great, proportion is not big. If you're not a big eater, and values quality way more than quantity, this restaurant could be a great choice for you.
The omakase was really good! I went here for my birthday dinner and loved the food and quiet ambiance. The rolls were pretty good, too!
Sushi Maruyama is an authentic Japanese sushi joint and not the funky American style where they stuff it with cream cheese or douse it in sauces. This place offers the traditional rolls, sashimi, and more. The seafood is high quality with great sake pairing. They have a large menu with daily specials such as omakase; this is where the chef provides a tailored nigiri meal based on seasonality and availability. It was $49 for 8 pieces, not bad at all!I thought the overall taste was good, but some areas can be improved such as their grilled items. The dining atmosphere is very peaceful and is great for a date night. Good customer service despite being busy. They even gave us a complimentary homemade cheesecake because we were celebrating a birthday. Parking can be found on the street. Expect to pay $100-$150 per person. I would recommend trying it out!
Sushi Maruyama is a relatively new addition to Authentic Sushi places with Japanese chef and I confirmed that their dish as well as Sushi’s are pretty high level.They have full page of the special of the day, just like a good Izakaya, and they are with seasonal fish from the market, so check that out. We have A few kinds of Tempura, and they are fried quite nicely with thin batter and so crispy. We also enjoyed Hitaru Ika (fire fry squid) which is very seasonal from Japan.For Sushi, they can serve Americanized rolls too but I would recommend to try the traditional simple hosomaki (thin rolls) with Tuna or Yelowtail, and finish with Nigiri. Most fish are airfreighted from Toyosu and you won’t be disappointed.Great Sake selection too.Staffs are all kind and so ask their advice for dish as well as Sake selection.
Authentic Sushi, good customer service.Make sure you have a reservation to avoid waiting 15-20 minutes for a table.A bit on the pricier side, but, ingredients were fresh and food was tasty.
It’s always fresh and nice selection of fishes. They are as good as in Japan
Restaurant is quite accommodating. Service is good and the chef is really nice and willing to make small chat. I’d suggest making a reservation for bar seating and ordering omakase. All the nigiri that we’ve tried has been exceptional. It’s always fresh, tasty, and a good rice to fish ratio. We’ve been a repeat customer since July and will continue to dine in.
The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The sushi was fresh and the atmosphere cozy but inviting. Will certainly have to come back and try some more of the menu.
