" I’m a big ramen fan and MAKI did not disappoint! The service was quick and I loved the laid-back atmosphere. The spicy miso ramen was flavorful, and though I would’ve liked a bit more spice, it had a good level of heat. The gyoza was scrumptious as well! I’ll definitely be back to try more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely love dining at MAKI! Every time I visit, I’m greeted with friendly faces and the smell of delicious food.

The atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot for casual dining or even a nice date night. I can't wait to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very good experience at MAKI! The sushi rolls were fresh and flavorful while my ramen was outstanding. The only issue I had was with the wait time, but the food was so delicious that I didn’t mind once it arrived. I’d say this place is a hidden jewel! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a phenomenal time at MAKI! The sushi was very fresh, possibly the best I've had in the area. I ordered several rolls, but the tempura shrimp roll blew me away! The service was attentive, although the place was quite busy when we arrived, so we had to wait a bit for our food. Still, it was well worth it. Will definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" MAKI is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Japanese cuisine! The ramen is top-notch, with a depth of flavor that takes me back to my trips to Japan. The service is also remarkable—friendly and attentive staff who really know the menu. I'm a fan of mixing and matching the ramen toppings and broth options. Highly recommend for anyone in the area!

" I visited MAKI on a busy Saturday evening. Despite the crowd, service was surprisingly prompt. I ordered the spicy ramen and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of flavor packed into the broth. The only downside was that the toppings seemed a bit skimpy compared to what I've had elsewhere. Overall, a good meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best ramen I've had on the East Coast! The broth is so rich and flavorful, perfectly seasoned. I can’t get enough of the pork belly that just melts in your mouth. The service is quick, and the staff is attentive, making you feel welcomed. I also loved the takoyaki; it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overall, a satisfying dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
