    We love and frequent Maki! Jordan was our server. He was very attentive and friendly! The food is always amazing! It was very loud inside the night we went but I recognize that’s no one’s fault. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. :)

    Kristen, I am so glad your server, Jordan, was able to facilitate such a great experience! You may request him any time! Unfortunately, the brick walls do not mitigate the noise on lively night. Hopefully the great food and awesome service overshadowed the noise! We'll see you back in here soon!

    The food was good, unfortunately we’re foodies so we have had better, but considering the area it was good.
    MaKi Sushi Bar & BistroResponded on June 25, 2025
    Thank you for the review, Judi! I agree, I am quite the foodie as well, I may be biased but nothing around here has beat our food so far! We've won "Best Sushi in the Upstate" for a reason!

    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.
    MaKi Sushi Bar & BistroResponded on June 4, 2025
    Thats awesome to hear! Those two dishes are definitely the crowd favorites! We are always happy to see your name on the reservation list!

    It was a very enjoyable dinner, we had a variety of items, all was delicious, and our waiter Sawyer did a super job !!!
    MaKi Sushi Bar & BistroResponded on June 4, 2025
    Mary, that is awesome! Sawyer has been with us for about five years as a busser and has recently been moved up to serving, I'm glad to hear he's doing a good a job!

    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.
    MaKi Sushi Bar & BistroResponded on May 20, 2025
    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!
