I had a great time here with my partner! We chose to sit outside because there were a couple big groups inside being a little noisy but ambiance inside and out were lovely. Our servers were super sweet and always around no need to worry about them forgetting about you sitting outside. Our food came out quick and was so fresh the rice to meat ration was great definitely got our moneys worth and weren't disappointed by anything here. I recommend this spot if your in the area

I dropped by here for a quick bite on a Friday night because it was a short walk from my hotel.It was pretty busy so there was a bit of a wait. Luckily, before I was seated I asked the hostess would it still be realistic for me to get my food and be out within 25 minutes and she assured me that would be no problem (and she kept that promise.) Once seated, I was able to order within one minute with my appetizer and sushi roll coming out just a few minutes later. The roll I chose was not my favorite (can't remember the name) but my shrimp shumai was delicious! I'd definitely return to try some different items on the menu, but from my first visit I was pleased with my experience.

Making a review on here because Maru hides their reviews on DoorDash We were excited to try somewhere new, but very quickly disappointed. Skip the Miso Soup completely. When I say this is the smallest miso I've ever ordered in my entire life, I mean it. You can go literally anywhere in LA for a $4 miso and get at least a pint. At Maru, three sips and you're done. Flavor is nothing to rave about, honestly it's pretty salty. Salmon sushi was not worth $8 for only 2, what a scam, especially for mediocre salmon. The Double Roll was bland, literally nothing special. The Baked Salmon Roll still had skin on it.Wasabi paste packets at a Sushi Restaurant should be a crime. Like, I'm spending $65 on a meal, can I get some fresh wasabi????This place only has good reviews because it's a tourist-trap, and is only in business still because it's by the Promenade. We won't be ordering here again, if you couldn't tell

I love businesses such as Maru, and I love to praise them. They are worthwhile, deserving of the compliment. I also want to be accurate and honest for others. I would not hesitate to eat at Maru again if I were in the neighborhood, by myself; or with my wife or a casual group. It is not a fancy place to impress clients or on a first date -- with colleagues, sure, and maybe if it were a potential couple who were mature and had a sense of what life was about, not needing to be impressed by the superficial. I only get to Santa Monica once every six months or so. But I will check out Maru for lunch. This also is a neighborhood with ample choices. The issue is value.I had the chirashi. That is the best "bang for your buck" in terms of raw fish. I always order chirashi if I see it. If you don't know the dish, try it; much better than Sushi A or Sashimi B. The presentation often is dazzling. It inspires photography.That is it. I also had tea and the accompany miso soup. The reason I want to recommend Maru is how it fits into a scatterplot. I'm always looking for this. Are there places with better quality or greater quantity? No doubt. But if you had a chart of quality and quantity, then made it 3-D with price, Maru would be a winner, easily. I would have estimated the check to be 50% more than it was, and I have seen restaurants that charge twice as much. Everything was fresh. It was overflowing from the bowl. I uploaded a picture. You can check it out for yourself.

Came here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was excellent. Loved all the rolls especially volcano and baked salmon. Salmon and eel sushi were also of good fish quality. We also had the shrimp shumai and the bulgogi fries which were both tasty. The sauce in the fries made it even better! Service was good. Sat us down quickly and was attentive. The ambience is probably the best part. Casual place but the vibe is modern and love the decor. The cherry blossoms definitely make it a photo worthy spot. Parent check: I would have given a 5 but disappointed they didn't have a baby changing station in the bathroom. They carry high chairs so you'd think the bathroom should also be equipped to be kid friendly. I would suggest that to make the experience even better

Great ramen spot and good bento boxes! This is a nice spot to go if you want to grab a bite with friends and need a place that can cater to everyone. They have a ton of sushi rolls, rice dishes, udon, ramen, vegetarian, you name it! Be warned that the portions are generous! The three of us ordered a popcorn shrimp appetizer, 2 bento boxes, and ramen and we took home what felt like another meal. We chose the booth seating which was nice as you can be outside without having to be outside as their roof covers the balcony and you're not on the sidewalk. They also have indoor booths and the bar for those wanting more of a date night feel. Prices are affordable and service is attentive.
