0 stars!! Foul as hell! Excuse my language. We walked in the restaurant the lady(host/server/cook) had food in her mouth and tried to seat us. She was the only one present so I’m assuming she had multiple jobs to do. Plates and cups left on tables from previous customers. And I'm not talking 1 or 2 tables. Literally the whole restaurant. Walked right out after about 5 min there. Im not even one to leave bad reviews but that experience was horrendous. 0 stars once again!!

We try to come here a couple times every month, the owners are so friendly and the sushi is always fresh. They always have gentle and upbeat music playing, and the sushi bar is very cool and creates a nice ambiance. We always grab 4-5 rolls, a spicy edamame, and a couple orders of sake. Have been probably 20 times now, and the experience is always a 10/10.

Very cozy & classy sushi restaurant. You can tell how much the owners love what they do and how much care they put into not only their food but also the atmosphere. Will be coming back more often!

Can’t even review the food as the welcome in was atrocious! My daughter and i wanted To go have a sushi dinner, it was 5:30 on a Monday. Only one table of two guys there. We wanted to sit at the bar, the sushi chef basically said no and the bar was messy, so we proceeded to seat ourselves. I’m recovering from shoulder surgery so needed a little space in between me and my arm so we sat at a larger table. Mind you NO ONE WAS THERE! The hostess/owner comes out with menus and immediately asks us to move tables. At that point I was done I was done! They obviously do not want my business so we left. Not the best first impression so I will not be back. Oh and let me add that the sushi chef who I’m sure was the owners husband said BYE, as we proceeeded to walk out. So just be aware, they do not care!! I’d take my business elsewhere!

Sloppy dining room, no soap in the restroom, average selection.
No soap in the bathroom? That's egregious - it looked like it'd been dry for awhile.
First impression was sloppiness - walking in and seeing a very untidy sushi bar, no one greeted me so I sat myself and grabbed a menu. The selections on the menu are average - nothing special, but not even salmon belly which is sad. Service was below average - I turned in an order with a sashimi sampler, no rice roll and 3 sashimi dishes. Two tables were sat in the restaurant and yet it took 21 minutes to get the first item which is highly unusual for any sushi place. I did see a lot of to-go orders being made and put into bags and maybe they don't care about a customer sitting at the bar as much as U er Eats - who knows - I just know that I'm normally given something much much much much quicker without watching a revolving door on a toaster oven. They use a small cheap toaster oven right at the back of the bar which is a bad look if you want to pretend you're a quality place. Ding! Ding! Check out the picture and decide if you think they are cleaned every day. Or ever?
Service - the server actually took my iPhone early on and I didn't realize it for a bit - went to my car thinking I had maybe left it there. It wasn't in my car. I came back in and asked her about it and we found it under a napkin and menu she had whisked away from me when I placed my order. I also asked her about Sapporo vs Kirin Ichiban on which was fresher. She replied, "they're both good". The bottle of Sapporo I received had an October 2024 date on it. It's March 2025. No dirty dishes were picked up at all during my stay - I'll include a picture of my area when my check was dropped off and I waited for my card to be rung as they took care of more take out orders.
Sushi - first dish was the snapper and salmon sashimi. The snapper tasted tired - not severely off but definitely not fresh with hints of fridge burn and age. Salmon was fine but again, average - on par with grocery store sushi.
Sashimi sampler A - 8 pieces. But it wasn't sashimi - piece of fake Krab and a cooked shrimp were included. I asked the waitress and she said their customers liked it and I explained that it still says sashimi on the menu so that's what I expected.
Eel - looked nice. But couldn't taste it - really hard to judge as it was absolutely overwhelmed in their crazy thick sauce. Normally that tells me the meat wasn't great but I can't say for sure - just crazily heavy handed on the sauce. Back off! Let the eel speak for itself!
Presentation of sushi - decent - sushi places generally nail this and I give Sushi Maku a solid average with nothing jumping out negatively or positively over most places. Normal touches and careful lining up of things
Obviously I've had high end sushi several times and it's confusing for me to see this place with over a 4 star rating when a place way way better is similarly rated so I have to correct for that. The lack of decent choice in sashimi automatically starts you at a 4, sloppiness cost a half point. The bathroom cost a full point - no soap? Really? And false advertising on sashimi? Yeah, this place is average but gets knocked down to two stars for the bathroom and false advertising. I never order sashimi to get cooked shrimp and fake krab.
I love sushi - I want to clear the confusion to people on the difference so average and below average places need low ratings. Above average places need high ratings. Help educate with reality. This is not a 4+ star place in any way. Go somewhere else.

Ginger salad watery.
Sushi extremely long with small un Wasabi rice ball. Some rolls way too big.
Food more or less presented all at once.

I was told they close in 35 minutes so I wasn't allowed to dine in. Make it make sense. I would have been in and out in 20.
