Shimp fried rice and sushi are my favorite but everything is top tier!
Best Japanese food I've had in a while! Went here late night, got amazing service and delicious food. The rice balls are to die for. The gyoza were cooked perfectly, and the sushi was out of this world! If you're ever near by, I'd highly recommend checking this gem out!

We had a great late night dinner at Maguro! Peter, our server, was very attentive and friendly— he even gave us recommendations for things to do and restaurants since he knew we were visiting from out of town. The food was excellent and came out quickly. They have great vegetarian options as well. Considering we arrived so very late, it was a remarkably wonderful experience!

We were looking around places in Franklin as my partner insisted we go out for my birthday. I was feeling Ramen and we found Maguro and it was well worth it! The ramen was delicious as was the broth. My partner wanted Sushi so she got a few different rolls, we tried them all and were very happy. The staff is also very attentive and happy to answer any questions we had. The icing on the cake is that the pricing is fantastic!

Food was amazing! I will definitely go back, but I will say the service was a little bit slow and it seems like they're definitely very shortstaffed and not attentive

Great food. Very reasonable prices. The wait times are brutal. Plan ahead and take out.
The Ramen is particularly good and they prepare it well for take out (broth separate)
I feel like I'm giving up secrets here, but they have a variety of rice balls that are not on the menu that are the best I've had outside Japan.

This was our first time here and we went specifically for sushi. It was fresh and had a ton of flavor. We also tried a few other things on the menu that also did not disappoint. We were originally going to do takeout but decided to dine in. The place is small but cute. The hostess was attentive and we received our food within 20 minutes of ordering. They do a lot of takeout so there isn't often people dining in but don't let that deter you. The sushi is seriously amazing!

Food was very authentic and tasted great! Atmosphere was dim lighting, and tasteful piano style music.

It’s definitely a favorite of mine, the food is full of wonderful flavor, they have a nice variety of real foods. Always consistently so good over the years as well. I could recommend basically everything here, as i’d eat any of it. It’s a nice calm place too, a very peaceful environment right in the center of town.

Let me start this review by saying I almost never review the places I go, and I’m not doing this out of malice. I genuinely love this restaurant and think it brings even the smallest amount of night life to Franklin. The food is AMAZING. Genuinely top tier and if you like tempura shrimp I cannot recommend it enough. The issue comes with the service. The place was empty so we were sat instantly which is always nice, but thats when the service issues started. We waited almost 20 minutes to be seen by a server which I thought was somewhat odd as the restaurant was pretty dead but I didn’t think too much of it (it’s a pretty sizeable menu after all so I had plenty of time to look through it). We placed our order and waited…. and waited…. and waited…. When I say it took almost an hour and a half to get our pretty small order I am not kidding. During that entire wait, online orders were coming in and almost immediately being filled. It seems like they prioritize doordash over the actual restaurant. When our food finally came out, they brought only one thing we ordered out at a time. We also were not given any utensils or napkins the entire time. Once all the food actually DID come out, it was cold and we had to ASK for utensils which was pretty crazy to me. I understand that running a restaurant is tough and it can get pretty backed up, but that was kinda crazy to me and even then we never even got napkins. I don’t want to write this review to get anyone in trouble, or to bash the restaurant, or anything like that. Believe me, I understand how grueling service work is and how awful customers can be. But when it’s over an hour wait time for a dead restaurant where doordash orders take priority, service is severely lacking, and everything else, I can’t say anything else besides just to order it on doordash. The restaurant prices are insanely cheap and yes, doordash jacks up the prices, but if you go in you’ll be paying with your time. Seriously, if you have any plans after eating, cancel them. This is your plans for the night now.
TL;DR Insanely good cheap food, but insanely slow and underwhelming service
Dietary restrictions: My partner has celiac, and she had no issues when it came to that.
