Tonkatsu ramen with nori and egg added.
Elias F.

Finally made time to stop in today for lunch... and then dinner at Maido sushi cafe. Always thought the closest ramen was in Monterey but I'm glad I found Maido close by considering I live only a few blocks away in Marina. lunch started with the ahi tuna roll(spicy). Was very surprised how nice the chunks of tuna in the roll were. Wasn't just amazing quality fish but also great portions. Definitely good value for 12$. Also ordered the hamachi nigiri for 7.50. Food came out in less than 7 min. Same thing with the hamachi, I was very happy with the quality and portion. Finished my meal drinking a Ramune. I really love all the Japanese snacks and drinks they have available to purchase. Definitely worth the money if you're looking for great quality and affordable sushi made quick. Came back for dinner with my wife because we've been really craving ramen lately. The Ramen was incredible. Great noodles and broth. The topping were also amazing. Egg was cooked perfectly and soaked in soy sauce. The star of the ramen was the chashu though. Pork was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. No part of the meat was tough. It melted in your mouth with just enough resistance to improve the mouth feel. Last time I had ramen this good was in Japan. Overall, the food was top quality, the service was fast and the staff was very kind. Love when you not only enjoy the food but can enjoy a brief conversation with the team. You can clearly tell they are passionate about the food and drinks they offer. Amber, the cashier was telling me about the outside eating area and how the owner planted the bamboo. Really added to the ambiance and felt like a little nook we could enjoy our meal in. Also ordered the mango matcha late which was excellent. We're looking forward to returning for their pour over coffee which I was told the owner roasts his own beans.

salmon and tuna sushi

10/10 one of my most notable restaurants from this trip. I don't go back to places usually but here I would. Lovely people 10/10. They are actually Japanese and get unique things from japan. The sushi is fresh with huge chunks of fish that's isn't grounded up. The sushi is simple with a seasoning that coats the outside that is actually pretty spicy. However they do have a small menu. We also got the ramen and I was a bit apprehensive but it was phenomenal. I never drink the broth of ramen but I had to here. It was so flavorful and not overly salty like some other places. The chasu had the most brilliant char on it. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely have to come here!

Shrimp tempura rolls
Denise A.

It was our first time here, upon arrival the barista told us about the menu and helped us with any questions. She was super sweet! We ordered two tempura shrimp rolls, two spam masubi, salmon onigiri, and matcha drinks. Everything was great!! We loved the spam masubi the most as well as the matcha. It's a cute shop with amazing staff who are very friendly and attentive. I will be coming back!

tempura roll

Right at the corner right next to Domino's- it might be a little hard to find if you're looking at the general view of the plaza. Cute family owned place with a good selection for their menu. I believe they started off as a catering business and eventually opened up a restaurant. Staff is very friendly, it definitely gives off the local intimate feel which I love! My mom and I ordered the tempura roll and it was a sharable snack. The quality was also there. I was exited to see new types of drinks you don't usually see in the area. I moved up north to the bay recently so seeing a place that offers drinks such as hojicha latte in Marina was great to see We visited their opening day and there were a handful of other people there. It was a bit of a wait due to there being only 2 people in the back and one person at the front, so just a heads up if you are looking for a grab and go place. I'm sure once they get more staffing it'll be much more quicker :)

The food is 10/10 simply delicious! The ramen is to die for. The poke bowls are also amazing. The miso soup is delicious. The many and varied drinks are just so good. Also the sushi is amazing. All food is fresh and appealing. Even our 3 year old loves the noodles and miso soup. Plus they have Japanese food and drinks you can purchase right there. The service is great. People are so nice. They really make u feel good. They smile and will engage. Ambiance is good but the only slightly negative is their store is a little small. But the bathrooms are clean and nice and really no complaints. In conclusion - if you want to eat the best ramen noodles and poke bowls in not only the Monterey county but also San Jose - try Maido's. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. We've been eating there for close to a year and we keep coming back for more. I've told several friends even my chiropractor and they all love it.

Sushi to go
Dexter F.

Maido Catering now has a brick & motar store front in the strip mall behind McDonald's in Marina. It is literally next door to Domino's pizza. Maido Sushi is and still are a staple at local Farmers Market around monterey County. So excited to see they have a permanent location. . Cute place with a few tables and a small outdoor patio area. My sushi was made to order and great options of drinks including hot match tea. Cold drinks in cooker and a small selection of Japanese snacks. I also spied some spam musubi on the counter as well. Ordered California Roll $8.00 spicy Tuna Salad roll $10.00 Both were great and super friendly service. Support local businesses in your community. #supportlocalbusiness

Ramen (only can eat at restaurant)
Leilani R.

First timer, and will now be a regular customer! I got their ramen and it's prob the best in the area. I added on an egg and corn :) I also ordered their hojicha ice tea with the foam and delicious!! The girl ringing my family up was very sweet and made us feel welcomed. The place was sooo cutely decorated for Halloween

Ramen ramen ramen !!!
Chris H.

Very tasty ramen like a trip to Osaka. this place is tucked in deep within this strip mall back behind McDonald's . The food was fantastic and reasonably priced, I definitely plan to return and try some sushi and Onigiri

Matcha latte with black sugar syrup
Cam Loan N.

Absolutely delicious! Love the simplicity yet authentic vibe/decor. Bathroom was so clean btw. Just like Japan with the bidet. Service was friendly, not super quick but I'm ok with that. They had a few people ahead of me waiting first. Price is fair for the quality you get. We aren't in town often, but when we are, I have definitely found my new spot to grab a bite/drink. Try that matcha drink. Worth it. I did ask for less sweet and it came out perfectly. I am one that likes my coffee/drinks not too sweet though, so do what works for you.

Spam musubi Chicken teriyaki musubi  Strawberry matcha latte Kokuto matcha latte

We had: Spam musubi Chicken teriyaki musubi Which btw were so good. Every time we go, never misses. Drink were: Strawberry matcha latte Kokuto matcha latte First time having them, but not the last. They were not overwhelmingly sweet, nor watered down. Loved them! Place is pretty chill vibe, and the employees greet you with a smile. They look like they enjoy working there.

How many restaurants serve such a beautifully presented wide variety of fresh fish in their nigiri combo? Everything I ate here: the sushi, the vegetable tempura, the udon and rice was made to perfection. Needless to say this place is not a well kept secret in Watsonville. It can get busy on a weekend for dinner. We waited about 20 minutes to get seated and it was well worth the wait. Miyuki also has a nice community feel. It feels friendly and inviting and you can have a private conversation without needing to shout. It's definitely a very special treat to dine here.

There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking is very limited, but there is some street parking available. I definitely recommend this place.

Not sure what has happened since they moved to the new site - it was only across the parking lot…read more Asked our "server" about the sauce on the sweet and spicy edamame being gluten free. Had to explain to the server what GF meant. He went back and checked - yes they make it and it's GF. When they say they make the sauce - kind of - they mix two bottled jarred sauces together. So not gluten free after all. We had to get up and get our own napkins and chopsticks. Every time we wanted our waters filled we had to ask. None of the sushi plates had wasabi or ginger on them. When we asked for wasabi the server brought out a dish with a small ice cream scoop of wasabi. The rolls weren't cut evenly - like anywhere from 1/2" to 2". One of the rolls was not how we ordered it and they told us they were going to remake it. Took over 15 minutes for them to remake it. I will admit that they were busy but they had 5 servers and a busboy/runner. There are only 10 tables. This used to be one of our favorite sushi restaurants. Not anymore.
