Nice place with some inventive rolls and fresh fish. Daily specials were better and more interesting than some of the standards. Sushi rice was a bit cold. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Romeo and Juliet roll was excellent. So was Hamachi carpaccio.

After visiting the best dentist office DSF Dr. joseph in SF. We tried Maru Sushi, it's just one minute away from our dental office. It's not the expensive kind of luxury sushi restaurant. It's more like a 7-11 kind of daily meal sushi restaurant around your house corner in Japan everywhere. The price is very friendly. Service is decent. Food is delicious. Sapporo on tap is superb. I always passing by when I was on a cable car riding the hills. Finally get to try it. Will come back.

We went there twice in a row for dinner and were not disappointed. I loved the Tempura, the Kamikaze, and the Labamba rolls in particular. The Vulcano chocolate cake is also outstanding. Try the Japanese Plum wine. Outstanding food, overall.

Had an amazing dining experience at Maru Sushi. I highly recommend their Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box. It’s a well rounded meal for a great price. Their Nabe Yaki Udon soup is also delicious. It’s served hot in a cauldron like vessel, which makes it even more special. The Shrimp Tempura Roll is worth tasting. I wish it had more shrimp though.

So I came here for a quick lunch. Got chicken karage and a la bamba roll. I really enjoyed all of it. The chicken was crisp and the sauce was good. The roll was super yummy and I could barely taste the cilantro, which was great for me (not a fan). The waitress was super nice and the service was fast, but I did go early afternoon on a weekday. If you need a quick bite I would recommend!

My husband has been here lots of times while traveling for business but this was my first time. They serve wonderfully fresh and delicious fish in a very traditional atmosphere that is lovely. We eat a lot of sushi and sashimi and really appreciate how fresh and beautiful their fish is. I cannot wait to return. I’m not sure what the unfavorable reviews are but suspect people may want a flashier place but this restaurant isn’t about that. It’s about quality and serving beautiful food.

Love the ambience and the best part is the tasty food. The lady who owns the restaurant was welcoming and treated us like we were in home. Visited few times while staying in the city. My go to place for stir fried noodles and sushi when I visit SFO again
