The sushi was not wrapped tightly too much rice. I recommended Azuma… this place service was quick/great atmosphere, sushi has less rice. Just saying.

UPDATED: because the restaurant responded so defensively I am adding information to clarify:The issue was not GrubHub's delivery: it was restaurant quality and care in preparation.They left off ginger from the Chirashi plates...is no one checking food as it goes out the door?The omelette sushi was loose and falling apart at the layers. This is inexperienced preparation of the omelet or lack of care in quality.The avocado on the roll was at the point of just past ripeness but served anywayFour of eight pieces of protein in the Chirashi were not fish but sloppy omelets or fake crab. You get more sushi on a supermarket sushi tray. Two of the four fish were tuna. One was over cooked shrimp.The portion size and preparation on the tempura was poor.We had to eat the food because one of the diners was diabetic and we had already waited an hour for delivery. Some issues aren't discovered until you start eating.I also never said I was going to make people not eat there...I just said I was going to share how bad my experience was by posting reviews everywhere. Where you choose to eat is your business.Shocked they actually tried to defend what they let out of the kitchen as quality...........................This review is for a GrubHub delivery order. Ordered one appetizer of veggie tempura, one spicy crab salad. One dragon roll and two Chirashi meals.The veggie tempura consisted of six aneamically small pieces of vegetablea in a soggy tempura coating. Half or less the size of most tempura appetizer servings I've had at other places.Crab salad has too much mayonaisse and not enough crab or spice.The dragon roll had overly ripe avocadoes on top and the rice on the outside of the roll fell apart when picked up.The Chirashi bowls: they forgot to serve with ginger. Four of the eight pieces of scattered "fish" consisted of two fake crab sticks and two sad tamago omelets.The tamago was sad because the layers were loose and fell apart when picked up, as if made by an amateur chef.One was served with an ok miso soup, the other with a house salad with an intolerable excuse for ginger dressing.The Chirashi bowls, for two small ill prepared tamago, two fish sticks, two I hope it was tuna, one white fish and one overcooked shrimp, along with rice and soup or salad, were $22 a piece.The total miserable meal was a little over $80 dollars.Embarrassing to call this sushi. Mari's should be ashamed they let this out the door.

Maris is not what it use to be ! Went there for lunch a week ago and was sooo disappointed!!! The food was uneventful and the waitress didn't know how to say you're welcome. Instead she kept saying 'no problem ' ! Maris was one of my favorite restaurants but not anymore. I'll never go back !!!!!

Absolute worst Japanese food I have ever had. I ordered 3 chicken Teriyaki meals all the sauce leaked into the plastic bags and the chicken had ZERO flavor. The rice was mushy. Shrimp didn’t look clean and the miso soup smelled off putting. Definitely not a place you wanna spend $100 and get messy garbage for food. Service was great but food was a horror experience. I wish I had pictures…..I might go back just to get a picture of the madness they called food. If I could rate them I’d give them half star for the service.
