“ We were searching for a poke bowl nearby and found this super cute little gem. It’s tucked away in a small plaza with plenty of parking. We wanted to eat inside but decided to order to-go so we could take home whatever we didn't finish. The interior is very pretty and cozy, with a warm atmosphere and charming aesthetics. For takeout orders, you don’t tell the person behind the counter; instead, you use a self-serve kiosk, which was easy to operate. There were so many choices, and we created our own poke bowls. The prices are very reasonable. The staff was very nice and welcoming. We weren't sure if we could sit there to eat or if the seating was for dine-in only. But we sat down and ate, and the food was super fresh and delicious. We highly recommend this place and will definitely come back. I came back with my son and had some new things —sushi, poke bowl & shumai. All fresh & delicious. ”
“ Hands down the best sushi place I’ve tried. I used to get my sushi exclusively from another place, but I’m now a convert. Everything tastes so fresh and the flavor combos are amazing. The black rice also adds something really special. I wish I would have taken a picture before, but the food disappeared too quickly. We’ll be back for more! ”
“ Just tried out this poke bowl place and I'm already planning my next visit! The fish was super fresh, and the toppings were on point – so many tasty options to choose from. What really made the experience awesome was Amy, who was working there. She was so friendly and helpful, making the whole vibe super welcoming. Seriously, if you're in the mood for some delicious poke and great service, you've gotta check this place out. ”
“ Very tasty poke and there's a variety of them. They have plenty of rolls too and some nigiri but I haven't tried them. In the neighborhood news group, they say they're very good and overall reviews of the places where excellent - which is why I tried this new place in the 1st place. The owner is a very nice humble guy and I'd go there just to support his business. You get a personal touch and I like that my money going not to a corporation elsewhere but to a person who works hard for them. You can order to go or can seat inside - it's nice and and clean, though a touch too dry, I'd say it's about B- on a cozy scale. ”
“ Excellent find. I've had lunch here twice now. It's convenient to my workplace and I had a hankering for some poke. I'm glad I found this place because it's all fresh and delicious. It's located in a shopping center so there's plenty of parking. They have a great lunch Special that includes a poke bowl, miso soup, and a classic sushi roll/maki. It is available for take out which I appreciate so I can go get to my dog. Both meals have been super delicious and made to order. They even make their tamago (sweeten egg) which is unique as most use a manufactured product. Their tamago is fluffy and tasty - happy I tried it. I look forward to grabbing food here in the future and trying/exploring more of their options. It's worth noting their customer service is great, the dining area and prep area are both super clean and orderly. You have the option to order at a kiosk or with a person. ”
“ We were so excited to have found this new place for yummy sushi poke bowl! We adore that modernized look of the restaurant and there are a lot of variety of poke bowls to choose from. My boys like the mushroom and California rolls sushi while I enjoyed the spicy hot fish poke bowl a lot. The staff and owner were super friendly and nice. The place was stylish, neat and clean. The sashimi was fresh and delicious! The food was served fast and the price was reasonable too. We are definitely coming back! ”
“ Accidentally ended up here for sushi with a friend and could not be happier. The sushi was absolutely delicious. The fish was fresh; taste and presentation were wonderful. Will be back for sure as soon as my wife gives birth to our second child. In 4-5 days. Second try still delicious. When your three years old can’t stop eating sushi and shrimp tempura you know the food is good. Here are some more pics. ”
“ Maru Sushi is awesome!! You are definitely getting your 's worth with the quality presentation of the food. As well, every single employee that was there was so nice and friendly. Thanks for a great experience :-) ”
