    We had the Tiger roll, Clemson roll, Lucky Charm roll and Squid salad; all fresh and delicious! Maki Sushi never disappoints! Even if you don’t care for sushi, they have other great dishes. Two of my favorites…the Dynamite Salmon and the Ponzu Butter Filet Mignon.

    Pre-theater lunch was extraordinary. Service was incredibly responsive. Not too fast, nor too slow. The variety of menu found sweet spots for sushi lovers (me) and others of the party. Could not have asked for a better start for the afternoon. Thank-you.

    Awesome to hear, Todd! Our lunch hours are perfect for getting in and getting out, with no compromise on taste or service!

    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!
    MaKi Sushi Bar & BistroResponded on May 8, 2025
    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!
    MaKi Sushi Bar & BistroResponded on April 21, 2025
    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.
