So fresh and tasty! The special rolls and spicy tuna were amazing. Service is fast and Friendly. Try the sake, unfiltered, then walk up the hill to your hotel...tipsy.

Awesome bento, full of options to choose from. Spicy tuna was truly amazing. As a Japanese native, I truly recommend this place.

In a city w/ tons of great fish restaurants, Maru, was supreme. I ate here 3 times in one week. Order any tempura or noodles. For sushi, focus on fresh raw fish, you will be in heaven. A+++

Absolutely delicious! Tons of options and good service. Sweet potato with spinach on top is 😋

Quiet place with non expensive sushi. The problem is that sometimes they crashes right before the soy sauce...yes, you know.

Sashimi was fish strips not slices, spicy roll tuna was good, Godzilla was tasty but it made me sick the entire day after I ate it.

If your here during lunch, the lunch special bento box is reasonable in $$$ and tastes so good! You even get miso soup and salad with it!

Worst place of Sushi, I got extremely sick, I was fish intoxicated and I was flying next day, i was a really uncomfortable flight thanks to the food intoxication I had.

Food was pretty good but service was painfully slow because one person was pretty much doing EVERYTHING. We had to come up to the chef and grab our food.

Tessa OwensDecember 2, 2017
Ripped off, poor service, lied to, awful food :( The worst part of our experience was our bill: around $85 (up to $90+ with tip) for 8 pieces of sushi, 3 pieces of shrimp tempura, and 6 tiny oysters.

The fish did not taste fresh, but fishy. Disappointing for a san Francisco restaurant.
