“Very happy to have Maido Sushi here in Marina. Staff is friendly, food is tasty, and it feels like an actual cafe you would find in Kyoto or some parts of Tokyo having visited. Thank you :3!“

“Hidden little jem! Come here a lot and always make sure to get the Spicy Chirashi, the appetizer Mussels. Only place you'll find this delicious spicy chirashi and I've eaten all across this peninsula. They have so many rolls, you'll definitely find something delicious here.“

“A pleasant dining surprise... It's a no-frills plaza restaurant with very tasty sushi at a great price. Lots of roll, sashimi, and nigiri options to choose from plus other Japanese bento/meal options. The hosts/owners are very friendly and attentive. I'd definitely come back.“

“Excellent food!!! It beats what we had in Maui recently.“

“service was good, sushi has good flavor but is 1/3 what you get at other places. maybe 1/8th of a roll from Arigoto. For the same price. Up side is great service and never busy when I have been there. very good for last minute large groups.“

“Always outstanding! I come here often as it’s close to my house!“

“Fabulous shrimp teriyaki. I've never received so many pieces of shrimp in one plate/bowl (compared to the other popular Asian eatery in the food court). The shrimp, veggies, and rice, were deliciously fresh and tasty. This will definitely be my go-to when I visit the mall.“

“Honesstly i don't know what kind of ingridients they use but,it tastes way better than the one in salinas.Noodles not greasy as the ones at salinas the vegetables have more freshness and the tofu was really tasty diferent flavor might be the tofu but,it was crunchy in the out side and soft from the inside.The chicken just on its point the one in salinas to dry.“

“Kokoro is one of my favorite restaurants in Salinas! I've only had great experiences here as the wait staff is always friendly and attentive. My favorite is chicken katsu and the California roll but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu.“

“Delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try different menu items.“

“Great find. Gifted sushi chef! We have stopped in when we can and every time we keep saying “We need to come out here more!”

Busy life but when we get a chance to treat ourselves to sushi we stopped going anywhere else.“
