Matcha and Udon Noodles
Melissa S.

Stopped in for dinner on a night when they were apparently sold out of salmon sushi and sashimi. The restaurant was not busy, but yet the tables were sticky and had not been wiped down. The matcha latte and cucumber salad were just average, but the udon noodles were good. They did have a neat Godzilla mural on the wall.

Ahi sashimi don.
Jay B.

Last minute dinner stop. Found this hole in the wall gem! Service was awesome! Staff was a cheerful breath of fresh air. The food even better. I got Ahi sashimi don, agedashi tofu and unagi nigiri. I also got a side of curry to try and the flavor was on point! Not too salty not too spicy but just right!! Definitely will add to must go to places when I'm Tucson!

Sashimi
Steve B.

Maru does a good job. I liked the prior version of this restaurant. They keep in line with tru Japanese dining. Sashimi is ok. The Katsu Curry was fine. Problem is I have had some really good sushi in my life so it's probably not a fair marker when you are on Campbell in Tucson. I would go again. The service as a bit clunky, can't remember but I think you order at the counter then sit with a number and it is delivered. Hard to expect a great tip from the customer with that process.

What more can I say than the usual... this is one of our favorite places and we love our visits each time. Here's some recent try's. Service, space and food always great.

Their service has definitely improved since last time I visited. Everything I ate was delicious. I often eat solo and this restaurant is perfect for it. I love their selection of menu items. Their ambience reminds me of home :D Side note: Be extremely careful getting into the rear parking lot if you have a low car

Egg drop soup
Anna T.

We went for Sonoran restaurant week to try out a new spot and it was absolutely amazing! We got the salmon lovers combo with egg drop soup and it was so good I will definitely be back. The sushi chef Sue was also so sweet and made our first time so welcoming :)

I came back on a Friday night around 7:30p and it was crowded for a later-dinner time. I didn't know they updated to counter-service where you order at the register and they bring your order to you. I was waiting for my friend to show but wanted to grab the last open table, which was a two-seater that had a laptop on it, which I assumed was the restaurant's but the cashier told me to go ahead and sit there (thankfully) so I ordered edamame and an Asahi draft while I waited. It appeared they were short-staffed as the cashier was also acting as server, I think she said they did not have sushi at the time although there was someone at the sushi station, though I came in wanting the mazemen (dry ramen) anyway. She was friendly, but the ordering experience definitely felt rushed as she was the only one taking orders and bringing out food, and the phone also rang before I was about to order but I could tell she needed to pick it up so I remained patient and let her take the call. Once my friend arrived we ordered (again) but since the cashier was so busy with other orders she had forgotten my edamame and beer until we sat down again. The ramen itself was worth the wait as I usually go with soup ramen, but the dry ramen with spicy pork, chashu, green onion, and soft boiled egg was flavorful and the right balance of heat, sweet, and spicy. One of the cooks brought out a bowl of soup ramen and my friend accepted though I guess it wasn't what he ordered, and his correct order came out after a while, but it was slightly confusing. I wish they had another employee helping on such a busy Friday night, and I wish they kept/went back to full-service as counter service with such a big menu, alcohol, and limited seating felt a bit overwhelming for whatever reason. I will chalk up the experience as "understaffed on a busy night" and hope the ordering and timing goes smoother next time, as the food and friendly-albeit-busy service are worth the experience.

I've tried Ramen from Maru different location n brand, it wasn't that great at all... this time I decide to try Maru Plus main brand and different dishes that will be more guaranteed the food quality n taste.... Ordering Curry dishes whether it's Rices or Noodles dishes, it's more guaranteed... just depending on the spice sweetness level n spicy level!! Pork Katsu cutlets with rice, that's one of my favorite curry dish!!! It's tasty n delicious!!! Since Maru Plus decorations are so classic Japanese modern youngsters style with Japanese convenient foods!!

Monsoon and ramen!
Henry V.

If you're ever caught in the "I can't decide what I want to eat" mood, Maru Plus is a good option. They offer signature Japanese dishes such as Ramen, Sushi, Onigiri, Curry, Japanese sandwiches, Omurice, etc. Their service is fast, and the ambiance is very relaxed. At this visit, I had the Tonkotsu Pork Ramen. The portion was generous, but the quality was okay. They do have a salad bar where you can add more toppings to your ramen at no extra cost. Bottom line: Maru Plus is where variety meets value. Come hungry, or with friends that can't make up their minds, and leave full without breaking the bank.

Pretty good donburi
Taric W.

Maru is solid fast-casual Japanese food that can make good food depending on your patience and what you're going to order. What I liked: I'm not a big ramen person (everyone else in here seemed to be); I prefer to get a nice donburi--basically the same stuff over rice instead of broth. I've had the beef, which was good, and the pork, which was even better. They come with decent enough toppings, but if you want more there's an outstanding little condiment bar with sesame seeds, green onions, eel sauce, etc. Basically everything you could ask for. What needs work: Honestly it takes way, way too long to eat here. Whether it's lunch or dinner, busy or slow. On both of my visits, it took 30 minutes to get anything. Make that 40 minutes if you dare to order from their sushi bar, which tastes good but is sloppily made. It's like they have really good ingredients but nobody who knows what they're doing. It's also a little on the pricey side. You're not getting good service or atmosphere, but you're paying about the same as you would in much more comfortable settings. I'm still open to trying more of the menu because again, the food isn't *bad*. If someone asked me to return, I probably would. I just wouldn't recommend it to my friends.

Cucumber salad
Austin B.

10/10 As a vegan in Tucson, I really appreciate Maru Plus. They always have great options, everything tastes amazing, and the service is consistently friendly. I ordered the Vegan Miso Ramen with Cucumber salad. Great vibes Definitely one of my favorite spots in town.

Tempura. Tasted good, just didn't have the crunch it's supposed to have.
Apple T.

Great tasting food. Wasn't a very welcoming experience, probably I came in half an hr before closing. Tempura wasn't made the traditional way but it tasted good.

Sushi was average but the price was amazing; would be good for college students or anyone on a budget craving sushi.

I really enjoyed the Mushroom Katzu plate. Perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Even the rice was…read moreperfectly seasoned . They didn't have the complimentary miso soup (said was seasonal). They carry vegan mayo and made vegan spicy mayo for me. Note that when ordered vegan, the cabbage salad didn't come with dressing as it contains non vegan mayo. I also enjoyed trying the leek onigiri. It was counter service. They have some outdoor tables outside on the road. I definitely want to come back for that mushroom katzu plate, particularly when the miso soup is back too. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Food was great, portions were decent, I wish they would have cut up the meat little more chunks…read morewere huge and plastic silverware/chopsticks . It's inside a busy bar so we elected to sit outside and the tables moved around a lot. We hade the sirloin and the pork katsu bowls with rice and cabbage we were looking forward to the noodle bowls but they were crossed off the menu. Overall great spot hope they get a spot of their own cause I think this could be a great place.
