Delicious and reasonably priced! – Maru does not offer a glitzy, yuppie atmosphere like a lot of Japanese restaurants. Instead, you get amazing food at a reasonable price served in a relaxed, come-as-you-are Austin establishment. The sushi is better than anything else I've had in Austin including Musashino, Kenichi, DK's, Sushi Japon, Sushi Sake, Shilla, Ichiban... Maru's signature dishes offer very new flavor combinations--daring and delicious; try the J-Bomb and the Samurai Roll. Despite the laid-back atmosphere, neither t... read more
INFESTATION! – Went to dinner for the first time at Maru and the food was excellent, that is until a critter (rhymes w/broach) scurried across our table and tried to get onto our tiger roll. When it didn't succeed it jumped on me! The manager (maybe owner?) came over and moved our items to a different table. They brought the rest of our food and re-made one of our rolls that was on the table at the time. Overall the situation was handled poorly, as we were still expected to pay for everything, and merely got an "I'm sorry". ... read more
Crab Crazy – I have heard several great reviews about Maru which lead me to get excited about going for my first time. Unfortunately, my experience was short of great. I enjoyed the J-Bomb, but my only complaint was how much crab was in it. This was the same problem I had with the rolls I ordered (spider, dragon, and rainbow). I personally feel like the crab masked the rest of the flavors in the roll. On a positive note, I enjoyed the opportunity to BYOB and the service was extremely friendly.
fresh and fabulous..and affordable – My husband and I ate at Maru last week and we were pleasantly surprised by how fresh and inventive the combinations are here..we sat down immediately at the sushi bar..and although it's byob we had our six pack of great beer and thoroughly enjoyed the selections we made... we decided on the philadelphia and american rolls (among many other things)...the portions were ample and the fish..very fresh..it was a bustling, energetic crowd and I would recommend this neighborhood joint to both su... read more
Can you pass the Spider Roll please? – Ate at Musashino and was not impressed. I was very sad because it was voted best sushi of citysearch in Austin and thought wow there must not be great sushi places in this city. I drove by Maru and thought I should check it out. Blew Musashino out of the water! No, not much ambiance, however, my stomach and pocket book was more than satisfied. Everything was beautifully presented and extremely flavorful. My spicy tuna roll fell apart a little bit but mostly because it was full of yummy ... read more
WoW! Just the sort of Sushi Joint we have been looking for! – We tried Maru on a Saturday night after reading several glowing reviews online. We wanted a restaurant that had good sushi without the airs or pretentious ambiance or prices of some in town. After having sampled some great sushi around the country including San Francisco, we were hopeful for a good meal but sceptical that we would find anything great. Boy, were we wrong! Maru was PERFECT in every respect. Even during a weekend at prime dining hours we walked in an... read more
Great, but has some limitations – Overall, I had a great experience here at Maru. The Katsudon is probably the best that I've had in a long time. My husband and I crave it sometimes. The Sushi had a few hits and misses. The salmon and yellowtail were fabulous both times that we went. It was buttery and melted in your mouth. The rolls we tried were all great-including the spider roll which was probably the best we've had in awhile. Maru is definately not cheap about putting a lot of fish in thier rolls. Every roll was very we... read more
No pretense, fresh delicious sushi – Maru is a great sushi place, without all the pretense. It may lack "atmosphere", but the fish is delicious (and fresh! A feat to be sure in land locked Austin), the rolls are different and yummy and the price is very inexpensive compared to other sushi places around town. The miso soup was not the best, though, it seemed to be the dry packaged instant miso you buy at the grocery store - good for home, not so great for a resturant. Other than that, I highly recommend this place if you love... read more
I liked it very much. Go here! – Went with a friend to enjoy lots of their food in celebration of my new business and her finishing another semester of school. Excellent food for an seasoned Boston Sushi fanatic, her, and my new pallet. Started with a soup. forgot the name of it. Had seaweed and spring onions. Excellent pallet cleanser. Dragon Rolls were excellent... eel avocado and crab..... and the wasabi! mmmmmmmmmmmmm fish heaven. eel reminded me of bacon. Didnt have the white tuna so went with the pink roll instead of t... read more
