Mediocre sushi and a small share of noodles. I don't understand why a low-end restaurant would be so stingy to add more low-cost carbohydrates to the bowl. They may need to hire a business planner to change all this and hire more employees to clean up the poor sanitary environment. Fried rice and milkshake are highlights.
The food is excellent! I had the spicy chicken plate, the portion size is good and the staff was great!
Wow! By far the best sushi I've had in a while. Everything was super fresh. I ordered from Uber Eats and I appreciate that you guys looked at the notes and gave me some spicy mayo and extra ginger! Not many places ever do and you guys did. My Superman Burrito was amazing and I added the spicy mayo to it and it was just delicious! Compliments to the kitchen! I even ordered as a priority order as I was short on time and my food came super fast! If I'm ever back in Milwaukee I'll definitely order again from you guys!!! 2 thumbs up! Only thing I wish yall had was popping bubbles for the Boba.
Not only did they forget my utensils, but the miso was gross and the salmon bowl was rancid, so I had to throw it out. Ugh. Going to get bar food instead.
It was a cold and rainy March night. In the midst of the dreary evening, I had decided it would finally be time to try the campus famous Japanese food restaurant known as Maki Yaki. I was excited to taste their cuisine, since everybody at Marquette University seemed to sing their praises. Also, I am Vietnamese, and trying other asian culture's dishes has always been somewhat of a pastime of mine.When I looked online, I was impressed by the fairly high reviews; however, my friend left me with an ominous warning: "I really didn't like it, dude." My friend, who is Korean and also frequents asians restaurants with me, tried to explain what would await me. In my naivety, I ignored him.I went with a group of friends. The line was long, a good sign, and we had to wait outside until we could fit through the door. Service was fast, so we did not wait too long in the rain. The man taking our order was pleasant, and we seated ourselves in the back. In total we ordered: 2 bentos, 3 spicy pork ramens, 1 spicy chicken ramen, and 1 chicken breast salad. Again, the service was fast and our food arrived quite reasonably. So far, it was a pleasant, if a tad expensive, experience; however, this changed once I observed my ramen dish.First, the ramen. If you have had authentic ramen, you may want to stop reading, for the following may disturb you. Our ramen featured sliced broccoli, carrots, onions, and green peppers - more akin to stir fry than ramen vegetables. The pork was stir fried, I suspect, as it was tough and chewy; resembling the pork received at an inexpensive chinese restaurant. This was nothing like the soft pork typically included in ramen dishes. The broth lacked the richness and aromatics of usual ramen. Most horrifically of all, the egg was served hard-boiled. You read that correctly: the soft-boiled egg, which is a staple in ramen dishes, was hard-boiled. In fact, it was a tad green around the edges, indicating the extremely harsh degree of hard-boiling the poor egg had experienced.It seemed that this ramen was little more than a Chinese dish dressed up as Japanese. However, as Chinese food, it was of poor quality as well. As I mentioned before, the pork was tough and chewy. As well, the vegetables tasted as if they were from the frozen food aisle at the neighborhood Sendiks.I cannot attest to the quality of the other dishes; however, I did notice that the bento was served with Jasmine rice - not short grain rice. As a young Vietnamese man, I love jasmine rice, but it has no place in the Japanese palate.As we finished our meals and enjoyed each other’s company, the staff politely informed us that it was closing time. We left, with subpar but warm food in our bellies. My korean friend lightly chided me after I informed him of my experience, and I promised to heed his food advice in the future. All in all, Maki Yaki provided good service and poor food. Score: 2 / 5 stars.
This my first time trying their restaurant. I order a take out bento box and ramen and I'm a bit disappointed. The kentsu chicken is really dry and hard to chew and the Ramen noodles was soggy( you can it's package noodles). I'll try something different in the future as for now I'm not happy
Had the chicken salad for lunch. Nice little local restaurant. Food was OK and the prices reasonable for what you get. Friendly staff and prompt service.
The Hawaiian sushi rolls were delicious and came up fast. It's affordable, welcoming, and offers a relaxed atmosphere. Make sure to get boba tea for dessert!
I love the food here, but I went in to order takeout 45 minutes before closing (75 minutes if you’re going off of the times on the door), and the server, Jay, was so rude to me I don’t think I’ll ever be back. I tried to call my order in but no one answered, so I had to go in the store. They said they were going to close early because it was slow (of course it was slow, they weren’t answering the phone after 7:30), and they made it clear that I had ruined their plans to close early by having the audacity to come in and order food.
The food is good. I had sushi rolls and a spicy chicken bento plate. If you're hungry go for a bento plate that comes with everything sushi rolls, dumplings, rice, salad.
