No-nonsense, delicious sushi thats more affordable than what you'd get at a grocery store. California maki made with the fresh avocado hits the spot! The sake don has extremely fatty salmon and a good amount of rice. Will be back to try their bentos! Grabbed these items as take-out at the start of lunch rush, so there was a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. There are nice and clean tables for dining in and the music playlist is fire--a ton of anime classics, jpop/jrock bands, and nostalgic Japanese song from the early 2010s. Great place for a little lunch date during the week day! read more

Great convenient and popular casual dining spot. Food: seems to have several options but largely focused on maki rolls. I had the salmon avocado roll which came with generous cuts of salmon avocado and rice. It was bigger than I expected. I ordered a Korean fried chicken to go along with it since one maki roll isn't enough to fill me up. That was good. Overall not the best maki but a great one for the price. Ambiance: casual dining. Order at the counter or kiosk. Sit down and dine. Simple. Tables were mostly full when I arrived on a Friday evening at 6pm but there's enough table turnover that waiting for a table didn't take long. Lots of takeout customers. Service: you serve yourself primarily but they bring out your food and order. Thought everyone was super friendly. Water you grab yourself at the water station. Parking is simple and easy in the commercial complex, though it can get popular so you may have to walk a bit. Overall great bang for buck! read more

No nonsense Maki joint that is also affordable. I ordered spicy tuna , Donkatsu bento and chicken karage using the kiosk. I am still not convinced why there is a default tip starting 15% when there is no service provided. Needless to say I tip generously. Anyways maki was great. Just minimum amount rice and some fresh cucumber as well. Both Katsu and karage were very lightly fried. read more

I've picked up from here once so far and really enjoyed it. The rolls are BIG especially for the price. I ate 2 rolls (salmon and house) + 1 order of inari because I was really hungry, but if I were less hungry I think 1.5-2 rolls would have been about the right amount. Looking forward to coming again to try some of the other rolls. I know this part of the Whole Foods complex has a lot of turnover, so hopefully this place is able to stick around. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by how affordable and delicious the rolls were! The gimbap rolls are made fresh to order and are made very well. They use sushi ingredients, and I was blown away by how good the California roll was. The salmon roll had thick salmon pieces, and tasted great especially with the ginger and wasabi. I got the regular-sized rolls, and thought they were pretty large. 2 rolls were a big snack for 2 people. Will definitely return! read more

Maki Stand - Roll & Bento - Salmon roll and California roll - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Small spot in Redmond plaza with yummy bentos and perfect filling sushi rolls. I had the California Maki ($8.25) and Veggie Maki ($8.25) - both were excellent, very large, and had a perfect rice to filling ratio. The CA Maki had a wonderful, creamy sweet kani filling. The veggie maki was crunchy and lovely. Casual, cafeteria like interior. We ordered and ate in for a bit until kicked us out exactly at 2 pm lol. I want to come back for the bentos for sure! read more

Sushi rolls and bentos... two things that I love! Located in the Whole Foods shopping area, this is a cute restaurant that operates like a quick eats spot where customers order at the counter. I observed that many people also opted for takeout too. They have a variety of sodas and drinks for purchase, or you can help yourself to the water dispenser to the left of the counter. The three of us ordered three bentos and two maki rolls. Our maki was served first, followed by our bentos a few minutes later. Everything was plated neatly and we marveled at the generous serving sizes. + SPICY TUNA MAKI ($9.25): Huge! The rolls contained at least double the amount of tuna compared to your average roll and it was spicier than anticipated (a good thing)! The thin cucumbers added a refreshing crisp and a little green onion was tucked inside. I would have liked a little more green onion, but the roll was still fantastic and satisfying. + AVO-KYU MAKI ($7.50): The avocado was smooth, creamy and nutty, paired with the crunchy cucumber. It was a wholesome and healthy roll. Both maki had a very thin layer of rice... one of the thinnest I have ever seen. The menu also offers a few unique options of Keto Maki which contains no rice whatsoever, only fillings! + SPICY PORK YAKINIKU BENTO ($16.50): The super thin slices of pork were very tender and mixed in a spicy gochujang sauce with some sautéed onions. It came steaming hot and really packed the heat. Some rice and a vegetarian japchae came on the side. I enjoyed the chew of the glass noodles and it was a nice component to the bento, which you don't see often. For those who want the traditional soup and salad with their meal, it will cost an extra $4.50. The staff is very kind, prepares their dishes with care and treats their customers well. When a group of 10 people entered on a whim, one of the employees quickly moved tables around to accommodate them with no hesitation, and was patient with them as they pondered over their orders. I will definitely be back! read more

Food: the food is delicious! I'm pregnant so all I could order for their maki rolls was the California but it's so good I can't wait to come back to try other rolls. I also ordered the mixed katsu which is a very large portion I had to share with my husband! Service: the service was quick and easy. The staff was really nice. Ambiance: casual restaurant, I really like their playlist. read more

Nice quick casual stop for a simple but comforting meal. We walked in about 45 min before they closed and under the promise that we'd eat fast they let us do dine in. We got 4 rolls between 2 people: the maki stand roll, katsu roll, spicy pork roll, and the tuna roll. The presentation on the cutting board was satisfying and each roll is 10 pieces so 40 pieces total. The spicy pork was probably the most flavorful but my favorite was the maki stand roll (i don't eat raw fish so I didn't try the tuna roll). We had like 5 pieces leftover maybe and I had a tennis match right after and didn't even feel weighed down. read more

Such good value! Can easily get a delicious meal for less than $25! I didn't even know they were related to donburi station which I enjoy going to as well. Delicious tonkatsu, tasty japchae, and some value rolls. May not be the best tonkatsu or rolls you ever had, but for a lunch, this is more than enough to leave you satisfied and your belly smiling. Definitely coming back if I'm in the area! Ordering online to pick up was very smooth as well so I recommend it as a perfect lunch spot. read more

Maki Stand - Roll & Bento - Japanese Near Me - Redmond, Washington

This is my second time coming here, and it's a decent, casual restaurant for bentos and maki rolls. I'm always impressed by the generous filling for the maki, and the menu items are also pretty affordable! Food service is around 15 min max, and utensils, soy sauce and water are self-serve. Today, I ordered the spicy tuna maki roll, and a few weeks back, I got the spicy pork maki roll. In both instances, I shared a mixed tonkatsu bento, and tonight I also tried some of the spicy pork bento. Having both of the spicy maki rolls, I can confidently say I'm not a fan of the minced texture for the meat. I think this is a standard though, since I've eaten a similarly textured tuna roll in a different restaurant a few years back. Overall, not my preference. The bento, however, is pretty solid! I really enjoyed the flavor of the Japchae, and I feel like any meat option has a generous portion. The presentation of the food is also well done, and ambiance/restaurant space is clean and fun! Overall, I'm happy to have a new, convenient restaurant in the east side, and I'd be interested to see what is their most popular maki roll. I'm happy to come back and try more options! read more

What a gem in a hole find! Can't believe how I could have missed such awesome goodness. Had their house, salmon and tamago maki and they were the stuff of perfection! Self-served and great affordable prices are a rare find these days! $6.50 for 10 pieces maki roll. With more ingredients than rice! Also had their tonkatsu bento, great tasting and crunchy! Their beef udon is al dente/QQ ad portion just right for my teenager! Everyone in my family just loves everything we ordered! If it pleased my picky 7 years old to my 18 years old, you know it is good! And great cheerful staff and chef made the visit all better! We will be back soon! read more

This has been on my list for a while now and since it was on the way, I decided to give a try. The place is located in the same plaza as whole foods so parking is not an issue. It's a small shop but there's a few tables for dine in. I decided to try Large ebi maki roll: ingredients was fresh, it was soft and flavorful. I wish it was a little bigger though considering the picture and description. Mixed katsu bento: the rice and japcjae was really good. The mixed katsu was a little disappointing though. I couldn't tell the differences in the katsu and they were dry and tough. Overall though, it's good enough that I want to go back to try other stuff. read more

Good place for no frills Japanese food! Nicely decorated for a casual setting & has classics- udon, bento boxes with katsu, sides like takoyaki, and a wide variety of rolls. Unfortunately they ran out of japchae later at night - would have liked to try that - so they subbed it for seaweed salad which wasn't as good. Miso soup & salad weren't worth the 4.5 additional in my opinion, would just get the set by itself next time. Good flavors though and fast service, decent prices without the additional miso and salad, it was about $25 a person when I went with friends. read more

I love this Japanese restaurant. Very simple and very good. It's a small place but with clean aesthetics. I have tried the Katsu Chicken here and was never disappointed. One thing I would say so the flavour here is something you would eventually get bored of. The side sauce is also pretty nice and I don't exactly know what kind of noodles these are possibly flat rice noodles but they are so good. It is served cold. In the past I have tried the miso soup as well and it was kind of expected - bland and a bit salty. But if you live close by - this spot is worth visiting. The disappointment for me has been that the place has erratic hours. Sometimes I have visited the place only to find that it was closed. Google didn't got the timing right. Or their business run so good that they don't care. read more

Wonderful new addition to Redmond. We stopped in for rolls, bentos and a hot bowl of udon. Love the casual vibes and affordability. My kiddos loved the Cali roll and kitsune udon. Service was great. Staff helped guide us through the menu and answer our questions. We'll definitely be back since I loved their katsu combo bento. read more

Grabbed a bite at this new place, I think they took over the previous poke shop (I C Poke), it's next to Chipotle in the Whole Foods shopping center lot. Very clean, friendly staff, delicious food and very affordable. Tried the spicy tuna roll (10 pieces), salmon roll (10 pieces) and the tuna keto roll. Initially when the keto roll came out I thought I would be disappointed because it looked like canned tuna and scrambled egg inside but it was so tasty and filling that I would totally recommend it! Three entries for about $30 total. Can't beat that for a fresh, healthy dinner! read more

They have so many variety of maki rolls! All the rolls come with 10 pieces and are super stacked with fresh ingredients. All the rolls are freshly hand rolled when you order. Love that they have keto maki rolls option ;) The bento boxes are well balanced with many protein options to choose from! You can add a side of miso soup + salad to the bento boxes as well. They currently have 3 udon choices to keep it simple but we tried the Ebi Tempura and Sansai udon - both are great! They also offer other Japanese sides like takoyaki, gyoza, kara-age. Love that the menu has pictures for almost every item - makes it easy to visualize while ordering! The staff are so friendly and helpful! The space is open, kawaii decorated, and very welcoming :) read more

New place in Redmond that is yummy and affordable! We ordered... - Mixed Katsu Bento-- one chicken and one pork katsu. Both really tender and crispy. - Short rib bento-- tender short ribs and marinated and grilled without being burnt! - Shrimp tempura Udon-- super crispy shrimp tempura!! This was sooo good. - MS Keto Maki-- fluffy eggs and lots of fillings. - Inari-- very good - Una-kyu maki-- good amount of unagi served with yummy sauce - spicy tuna maki--a ton of tuna filling!! So much tuna and very thin layer of rice (love this!), slightly spicy tho. - karaage-- nice airy crispy batter. NOT greasy (this is a huge plus!!) Overall... I love that Makis have a thin layer of rice and not super thick. I hate other places that only makes the roll bigger by making the rice super thick. All fried stuff were crispy and NOT greasy. Service was great. All the food came out super quickly and on point. Will definitely be back soon to try other makis. read more

Came to the strip mall where Maki Stand is planning on going to a different place for lunch, but the cute sign and the tempting offer of yummy bento under $15 was enough to pique my interest! The folks working here are really nice and helpful, and the food smelled pretty good when I walked in! They have a decent menu offering, including some vegetarian, vegan and even keto options. I ordered the chicken katsu bento and the katsu portion was generous, plus the chicken was perfectly cooked. I also really liked the japchae that came with it. :) It was a generous enough portion that I saved some of it for dinner! Definitely would recommend, it's great for a quick bite and is a delicious, affordable meal option. read more

I ordered spicy tuna and salmon. I expected they were good because of many good reviews but they were kind of fishy and not so fresh.

The place isn't huge but I appreciated that you could order at kiosk or the counter. It's a quick place to grab a bite if you're in a rush. We got the spicy tuna maki and the mixed katsu bento. The filling to rice ratio ok the maki was great but the flavor was alright, nothing too exciting. The bento looked nice but some parts of the katsu were too dry and lacked flavor. The japchae was pretty good. We didn't add the miso soup and salad for $4.50 extra because it didn't seem that worth it. read more

This is place is a pregnant woman's dream find for cooked but yummy sushi! Tucked away in a shopping center, sharing a parking lot with Whole Foods is this cute tiny Japanese place perfect for casual lunch or take out orders. The menu has both bentos and sushi rolls, with plenty of cooked sushi for those who can't eat/ don't prefer raw fish. A large roll is plenty for 1 person and the prices are fairly reasonable for the portion. The workers are nice and efficient. Would definitely recommend trying this place out if you want something casual! I think it would also be a good take out option for picnics etc! read more

The combination of raw veggies all together in a big roll with minimal actual flavors combing from the vegs made it hard to eat a lot of. read more

Solid Japanese restaurant with multiple options (bento boxes, sushi rolls, udon). I had their sukiyaki & tofu bento box with side salad and miso soup. The order originally comes with japchae but they ran out when I ordered so I got edamame instead. Flavors were clean and they didn't try to do anything fancy which I appreciate. Edamame was really salty though. Would want to try the japchae next time. Reasonably priced too but I wouldn't recommend getting the side salad and miso soup since it costs extra. Plenty of seating space and outdoor parking. Staff is really friendly and they even bring the food to you! Would go again if I was in a pinch and wanted something quick and easy! read more

Very nice spot for a bite. I was amazed that so much food came with such a small bill. Very sad the eel and cucumber roll was scratched off the list (maybe it will return?) but the other choices were good.

Looking forward to returning and trying this spot again. read more

Tasty spicy tuna and California rolls. Miso soup warmed our day. Good value and clean seating.

The price is only slightly more than your typical Seattle teriyaki shop but the quality and the selection of food is significantly better. The japchae that comes with the bentos is better than some Korean restaurants in the area. The katsu is not as good as Kobuta and Okami, but is very good and very affordable. The maki are sort of a kimbap style with a strong sesame oil flavoring. They taste very fresh and well made. Service was friendly and the place itself is clean and inviting. I hope they are successful and stick around in the space for a while. read more

They are pretty good and I would recommend them over other nearby choices for Japanese. A cafeteria experience so you might want to do take out instead. read more
