Maru Japanese Restaurant

This place is SO good. The lady who was serving us was so incredibly kind. The food was probably some of the best food I’ve had in ATX recently. I got the chicken katsu which came with rice, California roll, veggy tempura (which was SO good), miso soup, AND salad. All for a very reasonable price. At the end of our meal we got a free little cheesecake which was SO yummy. We all felt like the food tasted like it was ‘made with love’. 10/10 will be back again.

The lady working when I came in absolutely made my night. Such a sweet lady. I came in just to sip on a pot of green tea because I love the tea here. I came in close to closing and she was kind enough to sit me in. Love the environment. She gave me to tea along with a cheesecake bite. I have visitors for sushi in the past and love it as well. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and kind service.

Love this family owned restaurant! Lovely wife always is welcoming and husband is busy behind the counter making wonderful sushi, etc. My favorite Japanese restaurant in Austin & I’ve tried many. I visited Japan years ago & this restaurant is the most authentic and customer-friendly that I have found in Austin. Highly recommend Maru!

Maru is the best sushi in Austin hands down! The nigiri are two-bites, such a good bang for your buck. The husband and wife that owns this restaurant are so nice and friendly. The only downside is that you will never find sushi that taste as good for the portion size that you get. I recommend the unagi and the fatty tuna.

Loved it! Authentic. Fresh, abundant and affordable. Long time neighborhood sushi restaurant on Burnet Road. Charming husband and wife team holding down the fort, making the sushi, engaging with the entire clientele with an attentive waiter taking care of us throughout. Tonight was wait-free and casual. The intimate size and generous portions combined for a truly pleasant and delicious dining experience.
