Maru - Midland

“i loved this place!!! the chicken gyoza were perfectly crispy!!! they also have such a delicious, light soy sauce that is not overly powerful. the chefs creation sushi is very unique - give a few things you like, a few things you dislike, and they create a roll specifically for you. super cool concept! the chicken hibachi was really tasty, it came with fried rice and seasonal veggies. 😊”

“I had a great experience at Maru in Midland this afternoon for lunch. After growing up eating at their original location in Okemos for years, this was my first time at this specific location and it didn’t disappoint. Pictures attached are the following: Pic 1 (appetizers): gyoza, rangoon dip, kimchi arancini. Pic 2 (sushi): On top is the crouching tiger roll (sauces on side) and a cali roll. On bottom is a Cosmo roll with salmon and tuna. Pic 3 (dessert): seasonal pumpkin spice crème brûlée with candied walnuts and dried cranberries. I also couldn't say nicer things about our waitress (Stacy L.). She was on top of everything despite being busy during an afternoon rush they weren’t expecting. She’s an all-star who knows how to provide quality, insightful, quick, but non-pushy service. And of course she talked me into ordering dessert despite having no plans to — glad I did! Will be back in the future without any hesitation!”

“Such a pleasant surprise! Our bartender was so friendly and guided us with the best recommendations. Phenomenal portions, good food and great service!”

“My sushi role always falls apart when I try to eat it. Really like the food at Maru sushi, the flavors are very good. We just have never gotten a sushi roll that had enough sticky rice on the outside of it to keep it from falling apart when we try to take a bite. We end up with more of a a more of a deconstructed sushi roll. Have to use a spoon if you want to dip it in the sauce. Would be the perfect role if there was just enough rice to hold it together (would’ve made it a five out of five stars if Their rules were just stay together) The photo shows it’s already falling apart before I even pick it up.”

“Lacking in flavor tempura dish specials. Service was mediocre. Felt pressured to order drinks and specials by the server. Tempura had a nice crispy crunch but was also very greasy at the same time. The greasy tempura shrimp in the "Cosmo Roll" took away from expectations of the sushi roll.”
