I absolutely love this friendly fast-casual eatery! We wanted a quick and healthy dinner when in the area recently. I peeked in and thought it looked so pretty. And of course they had me at poke bowls. It's one of my top 5 things to eat, honestly. But I ordered a Buddha bowl because it's almost the same thing and I felt a little lazy to DIY (not to mention, the Buddha bowl looked tantalizing!) They have other veg options, but I set my sights on that bowl as soon as the friendly counter guy suggested it. It's overloaded with goodness--avocado, deliciously marinated tofu, edamame (yes, it's a protein-rich bowl), tomatoes, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, greens and more. You're literally devouring the rainbow here, friends. For drinks, they have a modest but decent selection of beer, wine (a decent bubbly in a can!) and sake in addition to soft drinks. The place is so beautiful (and spotlessly clean) with plants dangling from the ceiling and beautiful murals throughout. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be here all the time. read more

Maro - Tuna Mango Avocado w/ seared salmon and Pork belly bao mi - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

Just. Not. Good. Egg roll filling was mushy Bulgogi can hardly be called that. More carrots and rice than beef. I've never had carrots in bulgogi anywhere else and this was full of them. There was hardly ANY meat in this. For $16 I expected more. Everything we ate was just off. Will not be back read more

The moment we walked in, we were greeted by Sonny.He was extremely polite and helpful explaining the menu. We ordered veggie egg rolls, Beef Bulgogi and MoMo Chicken Noodle wonton soup. Service was exceptional-friendly and fast. The food was hot and fresh. The Bulgogi was cooked nicely with a good flavor. My friend enjoyed the MoMo chicken noodle wonton soup, but she said it was VERY spicy. We both enjoyed the egg rolls. They were nice and crispy, but not greasy. I loved the relaxed vibe and all the plants hanging from the ceiling. The environment was very calm and relaxing and also very clean. This is a great place and sister restaurant to Abhi. If you're in the area, you should definitely give it a try! read more

In town for work and chose Maro based on reviews and I wanted a healthy meal after a flight. I chose the build your own bowl and the salmon pieces were huge! They have great portion sizes. It's pretty hard to find parking but other than that, I'd definitely go back. read more

Maro - Salmon poke bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

I'm in town for work and staying at a nearby hotel, so was excited to see Maro was an easy walk to pick up dinner! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted and placed my order. The man who took my order confirmed everything with me, which I appreciate because I ordered a DIY poke bowl (and the veggie egg rolls!). I ordered to go and they let me know it would be a few minutes - probably five minutes passed and everything was ready! My food was well packed, with extra soy sauce, a fork, and napkins in the bag already. The egg rolls were SO crispy!!! They didn't feel heavily fried but the texture was amazing. They came with a little sauce, too. My poke bowl was awesome! It was a lot of food - I probably could have made two meals out of it! The veggies all felt really fresh, and the chicken was thinly sliced, felt like high quality meat, and was nicely seasoned. I got the Abhi aioli and should have asked for extra - it added a great flavor to everything. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town and looking for something light, fresh, and still filling! read more

Maro - D.I.Y Poke bowl & Momo wonton chicken noodle soup - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

Probably my favorite place to get a poke bowl! If you have been to Abhi, this is the place for you (they are owned by the same chef)! The customer service is wonderful and polite. The inside is beautiful and has a relaxed vibe. I personally love to build my own bowl, but also love to have the coconut soup as an appetizer! read more

Maro - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

If you're not familiar with Asian cuisine, you may have to do a little research to understand some of the items. I ordered delivery thru Grubhub and the menu doesn't have a lot of detail on some items. Of course you could just be surprised. Mom and I started with veggie rolls and coconut soup. You get 4 spring rolls which we really really liked. The soup was good. Has a spicy kick! Mom did a DIY poke. Must remember to get extra panzu sauce. One was definitely not enough. Mom's poke had ahi tuna, crab, corn, mango, red cabbage, sweet onion on a white/brown rice base. She didn't realize the ahi tuna comes raw but being the trooper she is ate it. Not sure she'll do that again though. I had the Tuna Mango Avocado poke. It was a great collaboration of flavors. I'd definitely have it again but probably won't since I like trying new things. There are a lot of items on the menu I want to try. Maro is Asian fusion with a twist on Vietnamese, Korean, Hawaiian, Philippine, etc. Definitely my kind of eatery for a pallet that craves variety and unique cuisine. read more

Maro - Made my own D.I.Y Poke bowl, Coconut soup, Beef Bowl - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

The customer service out Maro is amazing. I felt so welcomed as soon as I walked in. The decor is very cute and modern. I decided to build my own poke bowl. The wait was a little longer than expected but 1 out of 2 of our bowls had cooked chicken, so that can take a little longer. When we got our to-go bag, it was sealed with a sticker so I did not check the items. That was my mistake. Once I got home I realized that, none of my sauces were in the bag because I had asked for them on the side. Unfortunately, that made the meal very unpleasant for me. Despite that, I felt like the ingredients weren't as fresh as I would hope. I will give Maro another try but I will try a different dish that I don't need to make any modifications. read more

The poke bowl I had tasted like hand sanitizer. Not sure if I caught them on a bad day or if they just washed the inside of the food containers. Needless to say $18 down the drain. Save your money and go to the Ono poke instead. read more

Best poke bowls! I've tried the momos, the tuna mango avocado poke bowl, beef bulgogi, and the chicken khao soi. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Great addition to the area. Service is quick and made to order. read more

Maro - Tuna Mango Avocado poke bowl and Beef Bulgogi with complementary kimchi side - Asian Fusion Near Me - Mountain Brook, Alabama

Where do I even start?! First and foremost, as soon as you walk in you're greeted by the extremely kind person working at the register! The restaurant is a fast paced, casual, order at the register type of place. Service is super quick! The menu is slightly overwhelming I'll say because even for the DIY Poke bowl, I had such a hard time choosing sauces and toppings! Most of the sauces seemed foreign to me which I think if maybe on the menu they clarified what the flavor is supposed to taste like, it would make it easier for a noob, kinda like me! Overall the bowl ended up tasting delicious! I would definitely recommend this place and will be back as well. read more

I love this place. I get the salmon poke bowl whenever I go. The coconut soup is awesome as well.

Our family couldn't wait to try Maro! We went this evening and were super impressed. I had the tuna mango avocado poke bowl and it was delicious! The best poke bowl I have ever had. My husband and daughter both had the beef bulgogi and it was scrumptious. They had both missed this dish after Abhi at the Summit closed. It did not disappoint! We also shared an order of veggie momos and they were scrumptious! We brought leftovers home. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and checked on us regularly. The ambiance inside was nice. Love the mural! We will be back very soon. Great location. Plenty of parking. Lots of friendly faces!! read more
