“I’ve been wanting to try this place FOREVER. And let’s be honest — I’m perimenopausal and time is not exactly slowing down for me. So for our anniversary, I took no chances. Reservations open 30 days in advance, and you better believe I was poised like an Olympic athlete at 4:00 pm sharp when they dropped. The only slot left? 5:00 pm. The early bird special. Listen — we will dine at 4:37 pm if that’s what it takes. Book it. First of all, the vibe? Chef’s kiss. Mellow, classy, a little dark, lounge-y in that “you feel cooler just sitting there” kind of way. The velvety, cushy seating made me want to cancel all my plans and just live there indefinitely. And then… Carli enters the chat. Mad. Props. To. Carli. She greeted us like we were VIPs, guided us like a culinary fairy godmother, and made recommendations with the confidence of someone who knows she’s about to change your life. We trusted her immediately — as one does when greatness appears tableside. We kicked things off with shared apps: Waygu as Rockfire (buttery, melt-in-your-soul magic), Royal Flower Dumplings, Kinnickinnic Crisp Shell, and the Nobu Spicy Salmon Crispy — which Carli brilliantly suggested we sub with tuna. A visionary. An icon. A leader. Each dish somehow outdid the last. That Waygu? I will be dreaming about it for months. It was so indulgent it should require a warning label. I’m fairly certain food p0rN was invented for that exact bite. Then came the noodle debate: Pad Thai vs. Drunken Noodles. Carli said she prefers the drunken noodles, and at this point she had not steered us wrong once — so obviously we followed her lead. Now let me just say, I once took a cooking class in Thailand and made drunken noodles myself. I’ve tasted the real deal. And this version? Hands down the best I’ve had in the U.S. No question. We added shrimp, and they were light, juicy, perfectly cooked — not a single rubbery overachiever in the bunch. Absolute perfection. We wrapped it up with a hazelnut tiramisu situation. I don’t remember the exact name because we inhaled it in approximately 18 seconds. It never stood a chance. Long story short: completely, wildly worth it. My boyfriend and I live in Madison and we both agreed we will absolutely be making the drive down just to eat here again. We came for our anniversary. We left planning our next visit. And Carli? She deserves a raise, a trophy, and possibly her own holiday.“

“Just overall a beautiful place love comics here with my husband“

“The food here is the 💣! My kids really enjoyed the food! 🍜 😋“

“The service the food and the atmosphere is all you could ever ask of a restaurant“

“Fish was fresh, service was great. The beef rolls were an unexpected new to me fun menu item to try. Unsweet green tea was brewed perfectly. 4 stars because some of the sauces were too sweet or there was too much on the sushi. They also had some fun jazz covers of hip hop music playing which was a nice twist to the environment“

“2nd time here and will be back! Love it“

“The best Takoyaki we've had since we had it in Osaka. Really delicious food!“

“Always great food and service. We usually come on mondays or Tuesdays for their 30%-50% off deal. The vibes are always great - they got TVs recently so you can watch some sports while you eat! We’ve never had a bad meal here & visit about once a month. Our favorite sushi spot by far.“

“The restaurant is a bit small, but that’s the only downside I can give you. The customer service was TOP-NOTCH. We went again the other day & the manager/owner took such good care of us. Right before we left, he even gave us some of the best dessert that I’ve had in YEARS. I’m drooling again just writing this review. On top of that, the food has never disappointed—from the sushi to the yakisoba to the fried rice to even the appetizers (etc), always super fresh & soo delish! I can assure you it’s some of the best sushi I’ve ever had.“

“Never disappoints, been going to this place for years everything is amazing from the food to the staff“

“They have the best ramen that I have ever had. I don't eat pork, so it can be hard to find pork-free ramen that's flavorful. This bowl is so tasty on its own that you do not need to add any meat (or tofu) to it. I've ordered other things, but usually wish I had just stuck with the ramen cuz it's that good. Unless you can stand a lot of heat, go with the mild which is still pretty spicy. And I grew up eating Indian food, so heat is something I'm used to. And: Help support small businesses like Maki Yaki during this difficult time! You can get the ramen as take out...“

“I have been coming here for 10 + years. Me and my family are greeted and treated like royalty. Every thing I have had is excellent. My favorite is the rainbow shredded duck. The specials on Monday and Tuesday are great and a good deal.“

“Ordered here for the first time tonight and this food was awesome. the bowl they gave me was STUFFED and the pork dumplings were insanely good. Definitely recommend“

“The best sushi in MKE! Service, atmosphere, quality, and location 💯🔥👍🏼“
