- Price/Quality: The Maki (sushi) and donburi (rice with fish and veggies) seem fresh and pretty decent overall. Lunch menus like 'starter + fresh or funky maki' or 'fresh + funky' around 9 euros. I took the last one which was €9,90. You can also prepare your own maki, more expensive though. - Health: Salty soy sauce, cream cheese in maki, an amount of white rice in your donburi, but also fresh fish and spices, avocado, you'll be fine. - Pleasure: The rice in the maki was cooked real nice if you compare to other sushi places. Fish was the way it has to be, melting on your tongue. - Quantity: Still hungry, we went to Tagawa (Japanese supermarket 'around the corner') for daifuku and ice cream :) - Variety: No boats, just a menu with two kinds of maki rolls, that I chose from a dozen other creations. No ginger, just soy sauce and wasabi. Extra's like a bowl of edamame for €2,50. Sidenote: not of real importance but interieur has an 'indoor playground cafetaria' feel

Waiters are nice, kitchen is open, pretty small restaurant, so if you come after 8 o'clock in the evening, it's full, but it's possible to order sushis and go back home with them ! And as sushis are ate pretty quickly, if you wait 10minutes, you will find a free spot. Sushis are really good, I made my own sushis (check the photos with "California"), I ordered 24 sushis, after that, I ordered 16 more, because they are sooooo gooood ! I will go back there for others sushis, I want to taste all of them :) Definitely a place to sushis !

Tout simplement une tuerie!

Ok, ok, ok, easy tiger my turn now. There are already 9 reviews in french for this place with an average of 4.5 stars. Now I am pushing this average up a little. Simply because I LOVE this place, it is tiny, as it is small, it is scarce and scarce means special, and special means unique etc... Now what makes it special: Everythng! First of all the story of the this cute couple (who set up the place and still work there), who loved japanese food and saw a place they loved in Canada, took the chef back in their suitcases and asked him to help them setup there own Japanese restaurant. And he did and what came out of this (very shortened story): Makisu! The decor is dominated by wood (bamboo I believe) it looks like giant chopsticks all around the dining room. Table, stools and benches all wood, but without it feeling like a chalet. The kitchen is open.... oh yeah, I love transparency, and two chef are hard at work back there. You can order to eat in or to go. And then for the selection. In the name there is Maki, so obviously they do a wild selection of Makis, some creative (without going stupid crazy), and some more conventional, but they all have in common an impeccable taste and texture. And as the place is becoming increasingly popular, no risk of getting rice that laid out to dry, or salmon which is not fresher than fresh. They have a great turnover so my guess is they must get 2 fish deliveries a day... :-) just kiddin' No seriously the makis are extremely nice. Now I am sort of an adventurer, and lazy too, so my order was somewhat like, we are 5 give me some of this good stuff, and along came two Donburis, nice lukewarm rice bowls with shrimp, chicken or salmon and good seasoning.... simple but very nice. I recommend. Ok that's it for me, next step for you guys out there, run and enjoy Makisu.

The place to be du moment... Pas cher, formule originale, bon, rapide, simple! À essayer!

Food is five stars! One less because the place is cramped and with few seats. But the sushis are delicious and the quality/price ratio is probably the best I had in Brussels so far! We had two of their proposed set makis and we made two our own. Total 24 pieces, one edameme and two waters for 28EUR. I will definitely come back!

I was looking for authentic Japanese sushi and donburi bowls in Brussels Belgium... Makisu did not disappoint. Although at first glance it may seem like a fast food joint- the quality of the food is not sacrificed with the automation of their ordering system. You have to ask for the wasabi separately and both soy sauces had a very sweet "sucrose" sort of taste, but even with out the sauces the F O O D was A M A Z I N G! I'm going back next time I'm in Brussels Belgium. yess I ate all of this myself

Donburi here is affordable and tasty! I would say the rice bowls are more similar to poke than Japanese don, nonetheless good. We had a chicken katsu don and a make my own which included salmon, shiitake mushroom, asparagus, and other toppings. Both dons had unagi (eel) sauce on top. The sashimi was fresh. All ingredients on chopped into small pieces, making it easy to chew or mix with rice if desired. The unagi sauce was fairly sweet so I would suggest asking for less, or put on side if possible. Other than that, staff was friendly, environment was conducive to food and chatter. Great experience overall!

Desgusting.. 5 months ago I given 5 stars. But now, it became really disgusting. Made like a sh...t. Shame on you Makisu. The taste was bad, the gingembre really not tasty, the wasabi insignificant... berkkkk Never again. You lost one client.

My makis :)

Not the best sushi in town but very good price/ quality. It's crowdy and loud but for a fast dinner/ lunch is worth the try. Best feauture: make your own makis :)

Very good, fresh, inexpensive. Only rolls, but you can create yours. Good to take-away, the place itself is often crowded and noisy.

We visited this place based on the many positive reviews, but unfortunately, our experience was…read morevery disappointing. We tried calling several times to make a reservation, but no one answered, and we couldn't find any online booking system. It left us wondering--how do people even manage to get a table here? When we arrived, we saw an empty table with no reservation sign on it. However, the chef saw us, came over, and abruptly said, "We're full!" before we could even ask a question, then walked away. One of the staff members also completely ignored us, which felt quite rude and unwelcoming. No matter how good the food might be, this kind of attitude makes us not want to return. They seriously need to improve their reservation system and reconsider how they treat potential customers.

I have been here 3 times now already and the third time has only confirmed the first impression I…read morehad when I first came here. This place is for me the best sushi place as far as quality/price is concerned. The quality of the sushi is just exquisite and definitely equals that of some other restaurants who offer the same freshness and variety but for double the price. Seriously. Nevertheless, it is not only about the sushi. The restaurant offers a separate menu with the house suggestions presenting different kinds of Japanese appetizers that are really delicious and so ... Japanese. The best way to enjoy these appetizers is to order a bunch of them and share them. The last time I went there, my friends and I had the squid carpaccio (in a citrusy juice), agedashi tofu (fried to perfection), eggplant in miso sauce (I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this dish was a game-changer), layered eggplant with beef (very tasty) and an assortment of tempura (not greasy at all and crusty until the end of our meal). We wanted to order the o-toro (fatty tuna) sashimi as well, but they don't have that one on Mondays, which means I will have to come back. But I don't see that as a problem, :). After our appetizers, we continued our meal with some sushi and sashimi. As already mentioned earlier, exquisite. As far as the place itself is concerned. Well, let's say it makes you feel in a small sushi joint in Japan. The place is small - but cozy -, so reservation is recommended. There is no AC, but only a couple of fans working in times of warm weather, definitely gives it a local feeling. On some days, it can be filled with Japanese people who really know how to enjoy their food, which makes you really feel as if you were in Japan for a little bit. Another nice factor is that you can order a bottle of shoju and leave it there with your name if you weren't able to finish it, so you can continue the next time you come again. Neat, isn't it? So, to conclude, there is definitely nothing that would stop me from going there again. Ok, I forgot to mention that the waiter can come off as a little bit arrogant. However, once you start chatting with him, he is unstoppable. :). The chef on the other hand doesn't say much, but I blame that on the fact that he's very concentrated behind the sushi bar, so no big deal. Can't wait to go there again.
