Maru Japanese Restaurant

If you're looking for thick cuts of fish, then this place is for you! Generous portion of fish and rice. They didn't need to add a lot of sauce and toppings because the main focus is the quality of the fish. I didn't like the toro so much, it wasn't too fatty but the salmon nigiri was so amazing! I definitely will be back to try more rolls. The meal was very filling, we left very happy. The owners were very cute and sweet. Service was a bit slow but not their fault at all! There was only one waiter and he really tried his best. He was still checking in on us as much as he could. Cute little mom and pop shop vibe, lowkey, just the way I like it.

Really cute mom and pop sushi restaurant. Prices are expensive but the portion sizes are massive for rolls and you definitely get what you paid for. Dinner gets kind of crowded and since it's only a few people running the restaurant, be prepared for slow service. It's a cozy store that's perfect for conversation if you aren't in a rush. Parking in front may be a struggle but there's plenty of street parking available that's probably easier to back out of than the ones on burnet.

Fish is fresh so fresh it melts in your mouth. Tiny hole in the wall run by a wife and husband - and that's it. Please be patient with them because how much can 2 people actually do. I came in near the end of the night and we were the only table left but the wife was super friendly trying to make conversation with us. I must recommend this spot because it is definitely a hidden gem with an excellent combo deal. All the more boujee spots around Austin can't compete with this mom and pop authentic feel of a sushi restaurant!

I just call them to try to place a to go order and a lady picked up and said rudely "we are too busy to do to go orders." SMH ‍ It was abruptly and as if I was a bothered to them for calling. I have no problem if they are too busy for to go orders but it's the way it was handled that was unprofessional. Even if your business is busy, treating others with respect is a must so that when you are no longer busy, they would come back to visit. In this case, I do not recommend this place and would never try this place.

Excellent local sushi establishmentThis is not fancy/upscale sushi , and neither is it strip-mall genera-sushi. It's run by a couple who've been here for a while, the fish is prepared with live, the quality is good, the owners give a damn, and all in all, you will always leave happy.So yeah, recommended!

First time ordering rolls for to go!Usually eating sushis here, J.J bomb has a quite a kick!I loved the spiciness! Also rainbow roll and a shrimp crunchy roll were good as well ;)Such a good deal with good service!The packaging was very stable and secure too.Recommended!

Very local, mom and pop vibes! Large portions at a reasonable price, sushi is delicious as well

This place is super underrated!!! This is definitely a must go! I will be back! They are run by an old couple that care about their quality and aresuper generous with the amount of fish they give in each bite!! I absolutely loveeeee this place and will definitely be back!!!

This place is soo good. The food was fresh and flavorful. The inside was cozy and clean. And the service was like we were in a friend's home. Best Japanese restaurant I've been to in a really long time. You'd never know it from seeing this place on the outside.. total hidden gem

Nice family run, old school Japanese restaurant with great sushi and cooked Japanese dishes and combo plates. Food was very good and service was prompt and friendly. Decor is a little dated, definitely not the fancy decor of Uchi, but the bill won't break the bank
