    Went out for a long overdue girls night with my bestie. We talked about all the things! I had the TNT (amazing!), strawberry shortcake, sake, and their Maki mule…seriously the best mule anywhere around! Maki never disappoints! I’m so grateful to Dana & RJ, and all of their wonderful staff for making every visit top notch!

    Thank you for that wonderful review! We can be your spot for more future girls' nights!

    As always, the food was very good. But the staff needs major work! Our server was polite, but continued to rush us out. Within 10 mins of receiving our food, he came by to ask if we were ready for the check. We nicely told him no and that we would let him know when we were ready. 5 mins later as both myself and my husband had our chopsticks in hand and still getting food off our plates, he came by and cleared our table! UNACCEPTABLE. I understand that the restaurant is always busy on a Friday night, but one, we had reservations, and two, as a customer who is paying over $100 for their meal, we should not be rushed! I don’t fault the waiter, I place blame with management! Better training needs to be done with the staff. People make reservations for a reason. For those that don’t make reservations, they need to understand that they will have to wait, however long, for a table. But your customers that make a reservation should not be rushed through their meal so that you can make room for others that are waiting. This is not the first time this has happened at this establishment, but clearing our table before we were through eating is the final straw for us. Maki management, DO BETTER!

    I am astonished by the poor service you received on Friday. This is not how we train our servers to operate on a busy night, and please trust that this server will be spoken to and retrained in response. I sent you a private reply to hopefully resolve this issue with you, you've been such a great customer and I'd love to be given the chance to remend our customer relationship.

    Delicious food, and courteous, timely service. Our waiter, Michael, was attentive, and offered a description of the specials for the night. We enjoyed the meal.
    MaKi Sushi Bar & BistroResponded on April 8, 2025
    That's wonderful, Teresa! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed everything. Michael is definitely one of our top servers, you can request him as your server next time if you like!
