Maru Japanese - Austin

The food was amazing, and the service was even better. It was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of both the customer service and the food.

Is it surprising that a small neighborhood restaurant in Austin, TX offers such amazing sushi? Perhaps. But it’s a fact. Among the many flashy competitors nearby, Maru truly excels. It's a family-owned establishment that prides itself on thoughtful, fresh ingredients.

The woman who was working when I arrived truly made my evening. She was incredibly sweet. I came in just to enjoy a pot of green tea because I love their tea. Even though I arrived close to closing time, she graciously welcomed me in. The atmosphere is wonderful. She served me tea along with a cheesecake bite, which was a lovely touch. I've also had sushi here in the past, and it’s fantastic. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for both its delicious food and kind service.

Best sushi in Austin! Hands down. I really enjoy the tofu avocado roll.

Just moved to atx and was pretty disappointed in the scarce number of sushi places here. Then I tried Maru. Search over. I 've found my favorite atx sushi. The people working were SO incredibly nice! Every single one of them greeted me and separately said bye as I was leaving. They also asked me if I wanted free miso soup... Uhh, yeah! Is that a trick question? Customer service is great. And my sushi was equally great. Simple, flavorful, and fresh. I got tuna nigiri and the tiger roll. I especially liked how the spicy tuna in the tiger roll was not completely saturated in mayo, like most places prepare spicy tuna. I HATE when 'spicy tuna ' comes out and is a creamy orange color from all the gobs of spicy mayo rather than red, like tuna should be. Maru must 've used sriracha. I will be back for sure.
