Maru Plus Japanese Restaurant

I was really disappointed going here. This place used to be very good. The ramen was overcooked and then in places it was all stuck together. The meat was so fatty that it was inedible in both mine and my boyfriend’s ramen. The veggie tempura was actually disgusting… I’ve never seen veggie tempura like this. It was our date night and we waited a long time for our food (the apps came out after the ramen!) so we ate it and at the end we just couldn’t believe how bad it was.

Went in last week, there were only 3 other customers. Couldn't seem to get my order right. After 4 trips to the table I finally got the right food. The katsu was burnt and dry. Was much better before the rebrand or whatever happened. Now it's a mess and doesn't seem like anyone there know what's going on or how to make simple dishes. Update: finally gave them another shot and it was just as poor as the last time, ordered our food and sat down, they brought out 1 of 4 dishes and then we waited about 10 minutes for the next dish only to be told that another dish hadn't printed in the kitchen and would take a little longer. After 28 more minutes they came to the table to explain the same thing again. There was only 1 other table with people at it in the restaurant. 60$ spent and it was a terrible experience yet again. At least this time the katsu wasn't burnt

I hate this place now. It was so much better as a casual sit-down restaurant. This stand in a line and review and select from an intimidating menu meant for sit down setup is intimidating and ultimately a deterrent to dine. I have tried eating here thrice since this rebrand and I simply can’t, it’s inconvenient. I’m sure the food is as good as it always been, but it’s simply not Yoshimatsu I frequent since 2007.

Don’t come to this place yall. Food has very poor quality for your money. I was very disappointed and this was the worst asian restaurant I’ve visited.

Meg is an amazing, kind, and courteous young lady who we were lucky to take our order and serve us. It was our 1st time here and it was a great experience. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. It's the best sushi restaurant we have ever been to. I highly recommend it! Thanks again Meg, you're the best!

Cool restaurant with decent food! I had the cold soba with tempera and nigiri; I also ordered a shrimp mayo onigiri.

The cold noodle dish did come with a lot of noodles which was great. The fact that you can get it here and it not being had is awesome. Definitely not as good as stuff I’ve had in Japan and the dipping sauce was overtuned, but it’s otherwise legit.

The tempura was solid. There were shrimp and veggies, and they tasted great.

The nigiri was okay. Fish was passable and the sushi rice was made well, but based on what I tasted in this set I don’t think it would be worth the price to order them stand alone outside of the sets.

The onigiri was also passable, but nothing to write home about. Good for filling up but I probably wouldn’t order it again.

The ambience was also pretty neat. The decor was fresh and fun. The background music was cool and not too loud or intrusive.

Overall this was a cool place to eat and I would come back and try more dishes. I wish the prices would be a bit lower though…

The food was yummy but a little pricey. I would go again and have gone before. The staff is kind and quick. I like seeing the art and decor, fun to see what I know. They have a small bar of fixings to add to your dishes. They have a full menu with appetizers, entrées and strawberry sando (dairy and non-dairy). They also have a good selection of drinks. Good food, simple dining, and attentive staff.

Great service! I got the Sushi assortment and it was delicious. Lots of fish on the nigiri. Happy Hour from 2-5pm has some great deals as well.

Sushi was good, preperation and presentation was on the authentic Japanese side, they had a condiment bar which was a nice little touch. The saki was strong but in a good way.

I should have taken a photo of the chirashi, but I forgot to do so. According to the photo on the menu, sashimi looked much bigger, but when the chirashi came out, I was shocked to see sashimis on the rice were so tiny. I’ve never seen chirashi like that before. I understand the price is cheaper than chirashi served by other Japanese restaurants, but even so, their sashimi on the chirashi is too small. Honestly, I was disappointed with it, though it tasted ok.
