I'm actually done with this place. Seeing everything go up in price and down in quality is just not worth it any more. Even in one month the quality has gone down even further. Unfortunately I will never be back as I can get the same level of quality from the Ralph's sushi counter for a cheaper price. RIP to a real one.
The service is really friendly here. The pacing of this location is slower, but in a calming way. Food pacing is good between items. The quality of seafood is really fresh and tasty. Quantity is impressive for the price. The table I was in is next to a bug zapper, so occasionally, you'll hear a loud snap from a bug (it's hot and humid right now in LA). If you want a calm and a relaxing evening, this is a great location.
I stopped by Maki Noho for a quick lunch and overall had a pleasant experience. I liked the ambiance a lot because it felt clean, calm, and relaxed, which made it easy to enjoy a midday meal without feeling rushed. I also found the service to be friendly and attentive, and I appreciated how quickly everything came out. I thought the handrolls were good, but nothing really stood out to me. They were fine for a quick lunch, just not something I'd go out of my way for. I especially noticed that the lemon roll tasted too bitter for my liking, since there was a lot of zest that overpowered the fish. I also tried the spicy mushroom soup and a ginger tea, which I found to be safe and comforting but not memorable. I'd come back when I want something quick, easy, and reliable.
My favorite sushi spot. Everything is 10/10 delicious. HIGHLY recommend!! Also the best kimchi I've ever had!
Was looking for a new sushi place to try. Found Maki Noho and decided to try it. Ordered a few things this day including Salmon Nigiri, Tuna nigiri, and Yellowtail. I also tried the spicy mushroom soup and a baked salmon roll . The service is via tablets on the table. The owner's are friendly and attentive and add to the authenticity. The food was fresh and of great quality. The ambiance was clean and well lit.
This was my first visit. Free parking garage behind the restaurant. Park in the spaces marked "Retail". Some sushi places are stuffy. There's a very relaxed feeling here. Self-ordering via consoles on the table. All of our food tasted great! I look forward to going back to try more.
Most everyone is aware that entrepreneurship is a striking challenge. Trying your hand at entrepreneurship as a restauranteer - is a whole other level of hardship especially in Los Angeles where the culinary scene is over-saturated and ever rotating. No one knows this better than the Oh family of Maki Noho. The Ohs originally entered the food scene in the Gaslamp District of San Diego.with a deli that unfortunately was forced to shutter after building owners wanted to renovate the space. This led to Mama Oh working at a Korean eatery in Ventura before the Ohs decided to strike out on their own and create their own space to tantalize taste buds. Their first endeavor was sadly, like some many others, shut down by Covid. But now, the Oh Family has overcome all these hurdles and launched Maki Noho. Maki Noho sits in a small strip plaza on Lankershim Blvd by Firehouse Subs and Pho Noho where Hoke Poke once held real estate. Can you expect a large, elaborate dining space with Maki Noho? Well, no. Just like the tight-knit Oh Family; Maki Noho is also small in square footage with few tables so it is not the most accommodating. And speaking of, the tables are so low that it feels like you are sitting in those Fisher Price color block plastic chairs. What is up with that Maki Noho?! Despite this, Maki Noho is clean, bright and inviting with its white washed walls and windows panels where you can watch Mama Oh herself cooking in the kitchen (Maki Noho utilizes her recipes!) Maki Noho is the home to sushi, nigiri, bibimbap bowls, kimchi rolls, pike bowls, etc. My party of two visited on a Saturday evening and was ready to feast to see what Maki Noho was all about. We started with Salmon Skewers as an appetizer and White Peach flavored sake to toast the night. The Salmon Skewers were delicious with a crisp skin and a light glaze dusted with herbs and the sake was peachy goodness. But let's get to crux of Maki Noho, shall we? For our dinner, we ordered a Rainbow Specialty Maki Roll ($16), Eel Maki (6 piece roll, $12), Salmon Maki (6 piece roll, $12) and 9 piece combo Sashimi ($29) with Salmon, yellowtail and tuna. They say you eat with your eyes first and Maki Tuna has that down to a pedigree. Each dish was minimalist and yet almost Feng shui in presentation. Artfully but delicately plated bright, fresh fish with just the art amount of accents to not overdo or outdo the fish, itself. Beautiful. Equally delightful was the actual Maki. One might expect sub-par sushi at a small eatery but Maki Noho does not mess around. The fish is fresh, delicious and all ingredients play off each other perfectly like a well-structured sports team. Maki Noho is ideal for Noho Arts District residents seeking sushi in a casual and fast environment. Also notable is the music selection blasting in the dining room. The Oh Family must be "down" with their West Coast gangsta rap because the playlist was bumping with Ice Cube, Tupac, Snoop and then some 50 Cent and Jay Z for good measure. And I'm not talking the radio edits but the unedited rated R versions. And honey, I'm not complaining because this is LA afterall; but it was certainly unexpected. Maki Noho is a lovely addition to the Noho Arts District by the Oh Family and is standout in the casual, fast-dining sushi dining space. Maki Noho is worth a visit... or three.
A Must Try Sushi Spot! Everything was absolutely delicious, and the owner and staff were incredibly kind and welcoming! The tuna, salmon, and other seafood were so fresh, tender, and had absolutely no fishy smell. They also have a great variety of drinks, and the atmosphere is quiet and comfortable perfect for having a conversation. I also loved that it's pet-friendly! The cleanliness and food hygiene were a 10/10. I was so satisfied that I honestly don't feel like trying another sushi place. Definitely recommend
Cute layout. Love that it's open late until 1030 (on a Monday!) and the food is fresh and tasty! Got spicy salmon poke and baked yellowtail collar. So so good
new favorite sushi spot! so cute and cozy inside, and the food was amazing - everything tasted really fresh and high-quality. highly recommend :)
I was very intrigued and impressed with the 4.8 rating on Yelp, I had to try. We were craving sushi and have been wanting to check this spot out since we've walked by numerous times. We were greeted upon entry and got to choose our table :) the wonderful woman who served us was so attentive and friendly. The shop itself is a bit small/narrow, but very clean and simple. There's good music playing in the background and ample lighting. Beautiful display of beverages and little snacks for purchase at the counter. There's even a glass wall to peek into the kitchen as they make your food. It looks very clean and organized in there as well, which I appreciate heavily. Reasonable & fair prices for their menu for the quality and serving you get. I'd like to emphasize that the hand roll is hefty!! It's stuffed yet tucked nicely. It's secure and definitely worth trying. I'm very pleased with the presentation and the taste. The seaweed isn't too waxy and not crumbly at all. It held up so well. $7 As for the rolls, they were extremely fresh and flavorful. The yuzu ponzu used for the yellowtail was excellent and really compliments the fish. It has a bit of a kick from the spicy tuna and jalapeño, but it pairs so well! Each cut roll was about $16-18 (don't quite recall) Again, I'd like to stress how friendly and welcoming the service was. I definitely will be coming back for more and more. I'd love to try their poke bowls and small bites.So convenient that they are open late as well. Please give this business a try if you're in the area or willing to visit and support. You won't regret it!
This place just got even better on my second trip there and that's hard to do because I gave it 5 stars on my first trip!!! Get the yellowtail belly!!!
Delicious food and very kind staff. A clean and relaxing environment with good music. It was exciting to see our food presented in the sushi boat! Will definitely be back.

I've said this before...just because a place is close to my home, I don't need to patronise it. Maki Noho is one of those places. Consistently a dud. Silly me! Their poke was okay. But the sushi, at least the variety I tried, was awful. The pieces were as big and thick as hockey pucks - they were HUGE. I couldn't fit them in my mouth in one bite, so I had to stab at them and mash the components around. The "spicy" tuna was flavour-free and way too mushy, almost runny. I've noted the takeaway horror stories from other Yelpers; I did not have an issue with that. But dining in at the space itself feels like eating at a 7-11. Harsh white lights, boxes and cleaning supplies parked willy-nilly, aggressively loud pop music, and the weirdest high chairs and low tables. Very uncomfortable vibe, with terrible food to boot. May they feel free to close. read more

I literally had to come on here and write a review when i realized... this is my third time eating here this week lol. This is one of my weekly spots but that spicy tuna has been calling my name repeatedly this week!! The food is always fresh, and hits the spot like no other. I've tried numerous crispy rice spicy tunas in the valley and nobody does it like Maki Noho! Aside from the food being delicious, everyone that works here is so sweet and kind. It almost feels like I'm eating at my grandmas house, the woman and man that work here never let my water cup sit empty, and one time she even poured my coke can for me. It's the little things that keep customers coming back, aside for how bomb the food is !! Side note : volcano hand roll is also very fire and not pictured here but you better believe i ordered it to go! read more

Still just as good! One of my favorite neighborhood spots! Not super busy for a Monday night but a few tables were occupied. The team is always so friendly and welcoming. The inside continued to be clean and bright! First time getting it to-go instead of dining in. Wait time was about 20 minutes as I ordered a few items for my husband and I. They never miss here! My two favorites are still the miso soup (it's my fav miso soup, too) and spicy tuna! Tasted just as good as eating it in the restaurant. read more

The food was good, and since there were no other customers, it was ready in about ten minutes. However, the woman who was sitting down when I walked in--and who seemed to be the owner--was not warm or friendly. Her attitude is the main reason I'm unsure if I'll return. Also, don't bother calling the number listed on Yelp. No one answers, and when I mentioned that I tried calling to place an order, the woman told me they don't even have a phone number. I'm not sure why a number is posted if it isn't in use read more

First time trying this spot and it didn't disappoint. From the door to my seat the ambiance was clean and chill vibes. Sat right away checked out thier menu and they had my favorites salmon skin roll, baked scallops, and spicy tuna roll. Pleasantly delicious. Fresh and beautifully presentation on my plate. The server was very friendly and helpful since you get to order from a tablet. Which wasn't difficult. Even when adding my favorite beer Kirin to my order mid dinner. Excellent place!! Im definitely exploring the entire menu! read more
A decent spot for a quick sushi fix while in North Hollywood, especially when visiting the barcade nearby, Player One. This must have been a boba or ice cream place in a past life, because the interior is very odd for a serious sushi place. Prices are pretty premium, despite the appearance, and I'm not sure the price point is warranted after dining here. The open-faced hand rolls are okay ... maybe a 3.5 out of 5, if I'm being generous. The sashimi was also okay. The baked mussels were good. The cauliflower tempura was probably the best thing I had. We mentioned a gluten allergy and the staff said they would be careful, but my friend had a reaction, anyway. :( Street parking out front. Don't forget to pay your meter. We unfortunately won't be back, especially given the gluten allergic reaction, but that shouldn't stop others from coming and trying this place for themselves. read more

Well, we're addicted to this place now. Best baked salmon roll I've ever had. Dropped in on a whim and now we can't stop eating here read more
Great sushi spot in downtown NoHo! Tried to call and place an order but no one picked up. Placed an order online - got the spicy tuna on crispy rice, the blooming onion, the yellowtail roll and the eel roll. Parked in front at a meter and hopped out to pick up the food. The lady working the counter was super nice and the place was cute! All was fresh and delicious! Definitely will come back! read more

This is a neighborhood gem in North Hollywood that serves amazing Japanese dishes. My favorites are the baked yellowtail collar, baked scallops, beet salad and baked Brussel sprouts. I come here once a week =) read more
Food - when I crave sushi, this is what my taste buds want. Service - so very kind, helpful and smiling, including everyone in the kitchen on my way out. Ambiance - warm and upscale without being stuffy. A seating table faces a giant window that lets the breeze in perfectly for summer nights. Maki has been popping up during my ongoing game of "what should I eat today?" I only grabbed a takeout rainbow roll for me and miso soup for my sickie at home. But the fish was all so fresh and buttery and tasty. The rice was nice and sticky and the layer was just thick enough to hold the crabby cucumber goodness inside. Can't wait to come back and taste more of their menu like their hand rolls and udon. Thank you! read more
We were in north Hollywood for an event and had a short window to get food before it began. Walking the stores nearby, we came across Maki NoHo. It was small but very clean and had a welcoming sense. Through the windows we could see a family eating and a few other patrons sitting at communal bar-like table--all seemed happy so we decided to check it out. They have a limited number of tables and I could tell that they had a lot of online delivery orders as there were multiple couriers waiting by the cashier. Looking above the cashier however was a bit of an oddity--even though they had 2 large monitors on the wall, neither had menus shown. To view their menu, you had to scan the QR codes at each table to bring up their menus as PDFs. The menu was a bit hard to read as everything was kind of small and the horizontal distance from food item to price meant that you could only see both when the menu was fit to screen... but if you zoomed in to read either the food item name or its price, the other relevant information went off screen (they could fix this by designing the menu for smart device screens with bigger fonts). We ordered their fried cauliflower w chili, signature hand rolls, tempura spicy tuna rolls, and salmon skin maki and enjoy it all. The cauliflower were covered in a tempura batter and were crispy and spicy. The signature hand rolls had a subtle but pleasing flavor (the salmon had a bit of a sesame oil flavoring which I really liked). The salmon skin rolls and tempura spicy tuna rolls were fairly typical but decent and filling. The staff were very friendly and the windows meant you could see into the kitchen. This seemed like a small, family-run restaurant. We're rarely in the NoHo area but would gladly dine here again the next event we attend in the area. read more
