Best Sushi in Austin – This is the absolute best place to get sushi in Austin, and I am including Uchi in that statement. I spent a semester in Japan, and Maru makes me feel like I'm back in Osaka. They are currently redoing their interior, and it looks fantastic. The sushi is superb. If you take one bite of the samurai roll, you'll be sold for life.

Good food – Unassuming place with super fresh sushi. Better quality seafood than Umi's. Sushi portions were reasonable also.

Ok sushi, over priced – My wife and I were excited to try Maru and went last week on a Tuesday evening. Got right in, friendly enough and we ordered a ton (eyes too big for our stomachs)...have to say the stuffed mushrooms were great and a price performer! The standard tempura was fine, the standard sushi (calif, spicy tuna and philly) were sub par for our tastes; the specialty rolls were ok - my eel roll was too fishy, the tiger good, and another crunchy one we didn;t love even though it had our fav companents. When we fini... read more

Yummy! Forever a repeat customer – The sushi is tasty and surprisingly filling. Of all the sushi places I've been (and I've even worked in a couple in my day), I always find Maru to have the most memorable-tasting sushi. It's definitely one of those restuarants you think about and crave for days after you leave. I always have to get the Stuffed Mushrooms, an appetizer big enough to serve as a whole entree. But all of their sushi is very good. The decor isn't too fancy, so if you're looking to impress a colleague or your boss... read more

Bad service; Sushi not great – We were so excited to finally try Maru because I love sushi and the restaurant is right in our neighborhood. It was a HUGE dissapointment. We were greeted right away, which was nice, and our drinks came quickly. But, after that, we sat and waited for a long time for someone to take our order. A different waiter came to our table and rushed us through our order. We explained to him that we were going to start with a roll and an order of sushi and then order more after that. The sushi took a long... read more

Great Sushi!! – The atmosphere in Maru is very easy going and the service is nice and friendly. The sushi there is excellent!! I always go there with family and friends, we love the California roll and Shrimp Crunch roll. If we want good sushi, Maru will be the first restaurant that comes to mind! I will recommend it to anybody!! The food taste Healthy and homemade but Very Tasty!!

a certain brown insect and poor management ruined it – I was having a great time here, the sushi is really outstanding. Half way through my meal at the sushi bar a mid sized insect (you know the one- for some reason City Search won't let you write it) scurried across the counter top towards my plate. I instinctually brushed it away and tried to continue to enjoy my meal. A few minutes later either the same brown insect or a new one climbed ON TO my plate! I notified the waiter and he wisked the plate away without so much as ... read more

Find sushi rolls and nigiri favorites in ever-evolving Rosedale neighborhood. – In Short In the middle of a burgeoning restaurant row sits this casual sushi bar. The minimal décor of Japanese prints and vases stays with the menu. There's they typical sushi/bento restaurant fare, (California rolls with a side of miso) with exceptions like teriyaki and nigiri and handrolls that attract a lunch crowd. At night, hipsters and bobos come to wash down the ever-popular caterpillar and dragon rolls with beer, wine and sake. BYOB is A... read more

Good Sushi Bad Bad Corkage Fee Charge For A Place With No Liquor License – Maru has good sushi, decent prices, and while the ambience is not fancy or fabulous, the attentive staff and friendly management provide an enjoyable environment for dinner. My major complaint, and what will likely drive me to stop eating at Maru, is that they charge a "corkage" fee for folks who bring their own liquor, yet they do not have a liquor license and thus cannot themselves provide the beer, wine, and sake. To me this is a misguided and unsc... read more
