" I was a bit skeptical about the hype around Maru, but my visit exceeded my expectations! Dishes like the canapés and crispy rice were innovative and tasted divine. The craft behind each dish really shows. The service was attentive, though there were moments of delay. But the food makes it all worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently visited Maru for lunch. I loved the chirashi don! The presentation was an art form but I was a bit disappointed by the portion size—it felt a little small for the price. Nonetheless, the flavors were robust and the fish was incredibly fresh. The atmosphere was relaxing, making it a good spot for a lunch break. " (*Curated Review*)

" Maru had great reviews, so my expectations were high. I went for a family lunch, and while the food was good, I found the pricing a bit steep for the portion sizes. The service was nice, but we experienced long wait times. The atmosphere, however, is lovely, setting a perfect tone for a family outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best sushi I've had outside Japan! The focus on high-quality ingredients really comes through. The nori canapés were a revelation—highly recommend! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a lovely dining experience. I can't wait to come back for their lunch special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly a delightful experience at Maru. I loved how they put a modern spin on traditional dishes without losing authenticity. The service was outstanding, and each dish we tried was a palette pleaser! I’ll definitely recommend it to friends looking for a good Japanese restaurant in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a pleasant experience dining at Maru. The quality of the food is evident, especially with their unique take on traditional dishes. The service was friendly but perhaps a little overwhelmed for how busy it was. Nonetheless, the ambiance created a lovely experience, making it worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was delightfully fresh, I expected a bit more authenticity in the flavors. The service was friendly but a bit slow during peak hours. I enjoyed the ambiance, making it worth the wait, but I might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)
