About Kochi Maru

Kochi Maru is a restaurant that offers authentic and flavorful food, with a unique atmosphere. The decor is eclectic, featuring cartoon figures and outdated furniture, but the food is the real highlight. The restaurant serves a variety of skewers, including beef, lamb, pork, and chicken, at a reasonable price of $18 for 10 pieces. While the quality of the meat can be inconsistent, with some pieces being tender and others tough, the spice and flavor are generally good. The food taste is good, but the portions can feel small for the price, with some dishes like a mixing chicken skeleton costing around $16—similar to the price of a whole roast chicken. The restaurant's grilling experience is a major draw, and the guobarou and beef and pork belly skewers are particularly popular. Customers have enjoyed the cold noodles with pickled veggies for a refreshing taste and the great drink options like fruity soju and honey pomelo tea. The service can be hit-or-miss, with some servers being inattentive while others are friendly. With a little improvement in service, Kochi Maru has the potential to be a great spot for a night out, especially for groups with big tables and private rooms.
