Maru Sushi Korean Grill

I like the Korean food here but we haven't been back in a while. They used to have really good sushi too but it seems the last few times we've tried it, it's been so-so.The ambience is great and the service has always been good. We haven't found amazing Korean food in Omaha but it's worth a try here.

First time trying a lunch special here and it was a great deal! Very basic flavors/rolls, but a filling and delicious meal for $14.Staff is always nice here, very authentic flavors and experience.I took leftovers home from another sushi plate and they were delicious the next morning!

Maru was a quiet surprise for us. Only two employees working and two customers but the food spoke for itself. They have a large menu but of course we came for sushi.We shared three rolls and scarfed them down! We got the Dragon Roll, 007, and the Maru Special Roll. They really go heavy with the sauces which we loved!! The Maru Special was a battered roll and it came out hot so be prepared for the warm sushi vibes.Our waitress was super nice and cracked some jokes with us! The place was pretty big and could host some large parties for sure!Overall it was pretty good and a classic sushi spot!

Definitely one of the better Korean restaurants here in town. The food is very authentic and well prepared. The staff was very attentive and very kind. The place is very very clean and very warming decor.They're Bulgogi special was very traditional Korean style, and the taste was very very nice

At first, The restaurant seemed a bit sketch to me with the few employees and empty atmosphere, but the food gave me a satiating feeling of home. While the ordering process was lackluster because of the waiter not being fully informed on the menu, The sushi we got was flavorful and seemed fresh, and the pork bulgogi came sizzling on a hot pan. Overall, a decent place with good food :)

Korean food is almost always underrepresented in most areas. I would happily take a few fewer mediocre Chinese restaurants if it meant a few more Korean restaurants. Until that happens, Omaha can enjoy Maru's strong Korean dishes, while also getting a terrific selection of freshly made sushi rolls. We started with a freshly brewed tea, though there are many other options. The caterpillar roll is substantial with perfectly cooked rice and wonderfully fresh avocado on top. And, look at that cool caterpillar look from the top view. I got the pork bibimbap, which is billed as a 2-pepper spicy level, but it was only mildly spicy. It doesn't normally get served with an egg, but I added one. And...yes, it does what a great bibimbap does so well: it lets you scoop up sizzling rice along with substantial meat and vegetables. There's so much here that I couldn't possibly eat it all.My mom and brother got the traditional (beef) bulgogi and chicken bulgogi, respectively. The seasoning is robust on both, but it really suits the beef better. On the other hand, the beef had a huge oval-shaped bone through every piece. There wasn't much meat left once you cut around it. You will also receive a plate with kimchi, potato, broccoli, and bean sprouts, which helped as an additional mix-in for your dish. The service was fast, and patient considering how long it took us to order. There were so many terrific options on the menu that you could come here several times and get something great every time.

This was the place I've been searching for! I was craving sushi and with being new to the area I have been meaning to try Maru. I am so happy I did as everything exceeded my expectations. The pork bulgogi was flavorful in all the right ways. Huge portion of meat and order includes rice, veggies, kimchi & potatoes. I could have filled up on the pork but wanted to try other dishes being a first timer. The chicken Udon was out of this world, another large portion and super tasty. It wasn't overloaded with veggies, good amount of chicken - perfect balance. Crab rangoons were ideally made. I also got three sushi rolls, shrimp tempura, spicy shrimp tempura and spider. After all this is what I was craving, needless to say I got sidetracked by the appealing menu. Sushi was darn good, but not exceptional. The rolls were a little loose and kept falling apart but that didn't impact the fresh flavor, I just felt super white having to eat it with a fork haha. Will I get it it again? Likely. Lastly, I have to say the customer service was top- notch. Kaylee gave a warm welcome upon entering, was very accommodating and even made me laugh a few times.

A true gem in La Vista for Korean BBQ. I highly recommend the crab rangoons. They were fresh, flavorful, and bursting with a delicious filling. For an entree I got the Dolsot Bibimbab and wow was it the right call. Full of flavor and rich with delicious beef, vegetables, and rice in a hot stone bowl. The restaurant was near empty when we arrived and plenty of room for a group. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and gave great recommendations for the full menu of options. Give this place a shot it doesn't disappoint

Loved this place! Get the Lion King. Trust me. It's delish. All three kids raved over the Beef Bulgogi and my teen said the Kimchi soup was the best she had ever had.I would also like to add that I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the entire restaurant and our waiter was very welcoming and attentive.

Strategically concealed between an unassuming Mexican restaurant and a cigar store, a tantalizing display of what's possible with flavor, lies behind 2 swinging glass doors. Greeted by a waitstaff that will eventually know you by name, you will find yourself seated in an environment that will only be out done by the cuisine. In years to come, you'll find yourself reminiscing on the day you first had their Pork Bibimbab. "...and the sushi? How did they pull that off?"-you'll think to yourself.
