" Simply put, Maru is my new favorite place! I've visited multiple times, and each experience has exceeded my expectations. The flavors of their sashimi are truly remarkable, especially the uni. My partner and I also loved the creativity of their dishes such as the miso-confit eggplant. The place has an intimate atmosphere, making it ideal for both casual lunches and special occasions. Plus, the staff is always so welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Maru was delightful! I dined here with a group of friends, and we shared several plates. The nori canapés stole the show! Each dish was presented beautifully, and I appreciate the creative twist on classic Japanese recipes. Our server was attentive; however, we did wait a little longer than expected for our food. Overall a fantastic visit, and I’m looking forward to coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful experience at Maru! I loved how fresh the seafood was, especially the scallops, and the unique takes on traditional dishes were delightful. The only downside was the slow service, especially during peak times, but the wait was generally worth it for the quality of food. Definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)
