Sushi Maru

The best sushi restaurant in South Bay! This restaurant is always busy and good service! Owner is friendly and nice.All sushi especially nigiri are very authentic Japanese sushi. Highly recommend to try the today's special.

Sushi Maru is a cute neighborhood sushi spot, and one of my go-to places for when I have no idea what I want to eat. Their menu is extensive, and their sushi is good quality for the price! This is one of the biggest reasons I frequent Sushi Maru so much. 2 pieces of Amaebi nigiri for 7.95? Wild. They also do revolving sushi in their restaurant too, which adds a fun aspect to eating there. Besides sushi, I would def recommend the tempura. So crispy on the outside and so nice and soft on the inside. They also have really good combo deals and lunch deals, and everyone who works there is really nice and friendly. 4 stars b/c although it's not the best sushi that I've tried, price to quality/yummy ratio is so good, and it's just an overall comforting, cozy place to eat at. :)

Food: 3 stars for the sushi rolls. I went with a rainbow roll, caterpillar roll, and seaweed salad. The rolls were subpar. The fish had discoloration to it and the California roll on the inside tasted premade and off. The seaweed salad tasted very good but I went there for the sushi.Ambiance: Clean inside and outside. Nice atmosphere and great customer service. They greet you when you enter and leave.Parking: Street parking only. Went at night and parking was available down the street. It's a nice little walk through Japan Town.

I have been coming here for awhile now. I have come for dates and family gatherings as well. I tend to order their lunch special. You get a lot of delicious food for a good price. The menu varies for the lunch special but I don't care what it is and just order it. We came close to their closing time around 1pm and it was still so packed. Their kitchen closes around 2pm but you can still finish your meal after ordering from the kitchen prior to their closing.

This is my friends' favorite sushi place that she ordered delivery from this place for her big wedding day. And we dined in together this time. It just blew my mind by how fresh the sushi was!!! They have quite a variety of options, which already exceeds most of other mediocre sushi places in the Bay Area. And the fish tempura with roe was super crispy and tasty! I would def go back for more!

Met up with a friend to try Sushi Maru and I was pretty impressed given that it's rotating sushi. What can I say? The quality isn't always there with rotating sushi.Here at Sushi Maru though, the cuts were pretty generous and looked fresh. It's easy to place specific nigiri orders and you can see it made right in front of you. My friend and I shared about 13 plates with a shochu cocktail each and our total was about $65 each with tip. When it came to the cuts, my favorites included the scallops, salmon, and salmon zuke. Some of the more premium ingredients like uni or toro weren't bad but I've definitely had better.

My friend and I wanted to try a new conveyor belt sushi spot, so we came to this place in Japan town. The rolls were decent, though prices were quite high (each plate ranged from $4.95 to $7.95, which is pricey compared to Kura where most plates are under $4). Fish quality was decent for conveyor belt sushi, and service was nice and checked on us a couple times throughout the dinner. It also wasn't super crowded either on. Sunday night, so we were glad that we didn't have to wait in line to get seated

I've been to this Sushi Maru a few times, but mostly to their other location in Milpitas. No longer there but a different Japanese restaurant. But, recently had takeout from here either from other people bringing sushi platters from here.The bentos are decent and the rolls are pretty good. They have been in J-Town for years and years.

Reasonable prices, good quality of food, great portion, complimentary ice-cream at the end, however, the place a bit small and could be long gone on weekends and holidays!

Pro tip: Always go for the Daily Special during lunch. You get a taste of different dishes for a good price. They change the special they offer everyday and this can be found right when you enter their door. There will either be a sample plate or description.
