This was a great place to eat. Was upstate visiting some relatives (unfortunately for a funeral) and they took me to this spot. Great surrounding area and all around vibes. The workers were super duper awesome and extremely nice. Food was delicious. If I am ever upstate again I am definitely stopping by.

Not only was the food DELICIOUS and fresh. The staff catered to us. I was so pleasantly surprised trying this place for the first time. Honestly, blown away. I love sushi and I feel a lot of places are not very authentic or great but this exceeded my expectations!!! 10/10 recommend. We will definitely be becoming regulars.

There were 8 of us. The came out quickly after we ordered. Our server was pleasant and put up with our bad humor. I'm not a sushi person but everyone who ordered it was happy. A few of us ordered meals and they were delicious.

The best, best sushi in the GRA. Owners are great people, too.

Had dinner here, and the food exceeded our expectations. The sushi was fresh and delicate. The sauces added a unique and flavorful touch to each dish. The tempura's light, airy coating accented the natural taste of the ingredients. 10/10 recommend!!!

I love Maru! They have the absolute best ratio of fish to rice in town; not a bunch of empty calories and a great value for every roll. We have ordered about a half a dozen times and the fish is always fresh.

I have celiac disease and they are always accommodating of making things gluten free and changing ingredients where necessary. This is the only sushi restaurant in town that I feel safe to eat at and they have GF soy sauce.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options and very good labeling/understanding of not mixing rolls if they are not allergen-free. Menu is labeled. GF soy sauce available.

The best sushi around! We only did pickup this time, but the inside is beautiful, the family is wonderful, and the food is off the map. Very friendly for folks with Celiac or GF needs! Will be back soon!
