We got the managers special sushi roll. I was not sure with the bacon but it was pleasantly delicious. We both had hot tea and hubby got the Lunch Hibachi Shrimp meal and loved it. We also share a chocolate crème brûlée for dessert. read more

We've been regulars at Maru for a long time and we receive exceptional professional service every time! The sushi is hand crafted, they cater to your needs and allergies if presented, and the chef special is a must try! The chef special is created with an art, it's a great deal for the amount of fresh seafood you get and it's truly a beautiful display of art on a plate. Every sushi roll on the menu is fantastic - we order 5-6 different kinds every time we come read more

Can't say enough good things about our experience here. We had never been so the waitress let us choose an appetizer on the house which was so so kind. We got 2 appetizers, the crab Rangoon dip and the firecracker shrimp. Both were so so good. We got sushi and chicken hibachi for our main meal. This chicken hibachi was the best hibachi I have EVER had and I love hibachi and get it often. This was so so good and can't wait to go back!! read more

Ordered the daily Tempura special, and "Cosmo Roll". Tempura was crispy. Roll was lacking flavor. Bland. Asked for extra wasabi. The Tempura sweet potato was a nice tasty surprise. I felt rushed by the staff to finish my meal. read more

Great option for takeout in Midland. Enjoyed a nice variety of sushi, hibachi, salads and rice. Ordered online, which was extremely easy and user friendly. Pick up was quick and timely. Greeted by a welcoming hostess. Everything was packaged nicely. Plenty of chopsticks, utensils and sauces. They inside dining looks nice too. read more

It's pretty astonishing to me how someone who is in position of a Kitchen/Hiring Manager behaves so disrespectfully in the whole process. I was scheduled an interview and "Josh" wasn't present, and told I'd receive a call back no later than tomorrow afternoon and I was not called back ever. I can say this is very poor behavior and lack of communication with my own Kitchen Manager experience as a Sous Chef' once before. Do better, I will not be eating here nor do I recommend it if this is your leadership. read more

Second time in here and get lousy service. Today, hardly anyone there, waitstaff standing around. Waited over 15 minutes to place an order. I left without ordering read more

2 extra stars for service and kindness. However the food turned out to be rather disappointing. The only saving grace was the ginger salad dressing. Else the Donburi had too much sugar and they had ended up cooking it too long and thus it had turned burnt and bitter. The hamachi nigiri sushi was ok but was falling apart and the sushi was a tad too sweet. Ah well, at least the server was all smiles and projected positive energy. read more

Dined in last night. While I'm not a big sushi girl, my group loves it, so we went. My teriyaki chicken was good. Not my fave, but still good. The front and back of house was very conscientious of my rare food allergy and very accommodating. The highlight of our visit was our server, Blake. Super funny, attentive, personable, and helpful. All round a good night out and let me just say, three cheers for Blake!! read more

Service is good, but after dining here a few times, I've yet to hit on a really good sushi roll. It seems like everything I bite into, from the crab stuffed mushroom appetizer to the Crouching Tiger roll, has an overwhelming mayonnaise taste. My search continues for a good sushi bar in the Tri-City area. read more

I always can expect great sushi when coming here! Recently learned about their rewards program, worth checking into!

Loved all the food here - from appetizers to the sushi rolls. Got the Madagascar and it was delicious! Perfect level of spicy for me.. and just so yummy! The appetizers were good too - the firecracker shrimp, honey walnut shrimp, edamame, some sort of peppers - oh so good!!! read more

Food and service was great. Sushi was very good . The waitress was very attentive and everyone had a great time

Good food... just sad they charge us $2.00 to celebrate our friend's birthday with a cupcake. Guess the $400 bill for dinner wasn't enough.

My visit to Maru was very pleasant and will definitely come back whenever I'm in the Midland area. You get your money's worth for the food as the choices and portion sizes are large and the service is helpful and attentive. read more

Kids perspective- Got a Strawberry Lychee lemonade and it was pretty good. The place was somewhat busy but not too bad. We got the edamame and Gyoza as an appetizer and it did not disappoint. The edamame was hot and delicious along with the gyoza. I got the Cali Rolls for an entree and they were pretty good. Also the chair squeak a lot and are very loud. read more

Delicious lunch specials and service was impeccable. Easy walk from our hotel and so worth it.

I wish I could give half stars here but since I can't, I rounded up. Here is how the meal shook out: Not so great: - Slow service when first seated. It was not busy and it took a long time for the server to come by for beverage order. When my water, yes, just water showed up, I was ready to order but he darted off to take another table's order. - The ambiance was nice but I got an odd feeling about the place. I eat alone quite often and never have I ever felt that uncomfortable in a restaurant. No server or manager made eye contact with me. I felt like I was a bother in their day just being there. What was good: - Side salad was the best I have ever had and I should know - I go out for sushi at least once a week - the two rolls I ordered were also very good read more

The ambiance here is bright and airy, and there is plenty of seating. The firecracker shrimp was great, and we were pleasantly surprised with how many shrimps come in one order. The presentation on the plates was really pretty. The rolls were good and there was a unique variety to choose from; I think they use more rice compared to other sushi places I've been to which I personally am not a huge fan of. Price is quite high so it's definitely a splurge. read more

Six of us went to dinner for my birthday last week. Our teenage kids love sushi and we were excited to celebrate. I had made a reservation earlier in the week, but our table wasn't quite ready. The hostess was super accommodating and tried to find another place for us. We didn't have to wait long. I ordered a Tokyo mule at the bar. It was made with Sake and was delicious. We started with the crab Rangoon dip, firecracker shrimp, and goyza. All three were great! Our kids loved the dip and I have plans to try to recreate it at home. We then ordered a ton of sushi. Delicious! Everyone had their own favorite. Mine was the blue mango (I think that's the name). Spicy and fruity. We ended up sharing two desserts although I was disappointed they were out of crème brûlée. We chose the vanilla cheesecake and the chocolate truffle. Our server was great and our food was delicious. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for sushi. read more

Excellent food great service and very clean. Definitely get the crab Rangoon dip. It's delicious.

Sushi roll and Rangoon were very good. Nice presentation. Stingy with water refills. Cocktails are 1/2 the size of other restaurants, but similar price. Recommend skipping the cocktails and ordering the specials. read more

Maru was very very good. It's got a nice atmosphere with windows all around the perimeter floor to ceiling. It has a very nice bar and their old fashion was fantastic. Tried two their rolls but for the life of me I can't remember what they were called. All I can say is they were fantastic. One was very spicy just as the menu said it would be. The other one was just creamy and delicate and delicious. I felt the prices were very reasonable too. Each roll was very large and I did not leave hungry at all. I will definitely be back. read more

Not from MI visiting from MS and a friend took me to this spot. It was fabulous. Went back twice it was so good! Check out their specials they have during the week. Got the crouching tiger, grab Rangoon dip and both were fabulous. Nice atmosphere, very nice employees. Will be back. read more

Very chic little spot. A little pricey for sushi but they get extra points for excellent presentation. We started with the firecracker shrimp, California roll and dragon roll. Ingredients were very fresh. Everything we tried was excellent. The mango sorbet was better than the cheesecake for desert even though the cheesecake was pretty tasty. The service was excellent, very attentive and friendly. read more

This place makes me sad. I have long been a fan of Maru's Lansing locations, and have appreciated as they expand to Grand rapids and Midland. However, the Midland location continues to underperform my expectations of both Maru and restaurant service in general. We often order carryout using their online system; but typically have to wait an additional 20 to 40 minutes beyond the promised pickup time, already 60 or 90 minutes out from time of order. Even arriving after the promised pick up time, you stand around their lack of a waiting area, twiddling your thumbs until they can get around to your food. Historically, their rolls were inspired, with interesting fish and takes on sushi. Increasingly, the rolls are bland, using sauces to suppress subpar fish, and flashy presentation to compensate for actual flavor. For the cost of rolls here, you can get much better quality at Fuji sushi and at a lower price. My latest experience was the proverbial straw. Went in to pick up a medium sized order for a party. Gave the hostess my name, and she disappeared. 10 minutes later I had to ask someone else what happened to her. I was told they were still preparing my food, which would have been fine, but also would have been nice to know. 20 additional minutes later I was finally given my food, as well as a 10% discount for waiting. This was nice! However, as soon as I got back home and unpacked the bag, we realized they had not included the most expensive roll. Upon calling, I was told they could make the roll, but we would have to wait an additional hour to pick it up because they were still busy. Since they could not deliver and were requiring me to go back to pick up the roll they had missed. I asked them to comp an additional California roll for my time. Upon returning, the hostess told me my Cali roll was not being comped, 'because they had already given me the discount.' This was the discount for already taking 2 hours to prepare my online order, half an hour longer than expected. Sushi is a hard thing to do in the interior of Michigan, far away from supply chains and high demand. Unfortunately, this location still seems to underperform that low bar. We will be skipping the drama next time in Midland, instead going to Fuji. Not quite as showy, but their food is better, cheaper, and actually arrives. read more

We had an excellent experience at Maru in Midland. We were seated immediately, our server was amazing, the sushi was spot on, and the bottle of wine went absolutely perfect with our meal (Touraine Sauvignon Blanc from Loire Valley). It was the best sushi I have had in a long time. We ordered the following rolls: Ex-girlfriend, Miss Saigon (had the perfect kick) and Cosmo (my favorite of the night, very fresh) I can't say a bad thing about our entire stay at Maru. read more

Absolutely amazing sushi albeit on the more expensive side. Totally worth it tho. They have good tea, sake, and mocktails too.

Talk about amazing food. The sushi was hands down amazing. I couldn't even get a picture before people dig in. I did get a quick one of the cheesecake though. One of the best I've had in a long time. My server, Betsy, was great. She was around when I needed her to be but didn't hang out any more than necessary. Perfect. She heard I was driving back north that evening and offered to get me a drink Togo without prompting. I was able to get in without a reservation because they had the room and you could tell that everyone likes being there and doing their job. 100/10 recommend read more

After moving to Midland from metro Detroit, I was glad to see that there was a Maru sushi in this town. My go to specialty roll is the blue mango (spicy tuna, avocado, mango, kampyo, shrimp, eel sauce, honey wasabi aioli, wasabi tobiko). A little on the pricier end for sushi, but well worth it. read more

Exceptional! The restaurant is open and airy, with an understated contemporary/zen decor. They are not breaking any new ground with the style, but I appreciate the bright and uncluttered atmosphere and the aesthetics. The real standout on the menu are the signature rolls. They are wonderfully orchestrated with combinations of seafood and sauces that complement each other, garniture, and were beautifully presented. The quality of the fish was excellent, the service was attentive, yet non-intrusive. An excellent dining experience and I will be back soon. read more

My favorite sushi place. I had the super green roll and a side salad. The carrot ginger dressing is by far the best dressing I have ever had. I attempted to buy some as I live out of state but it was a no go. my only complaint is the Super Mario roll isn't available on the lunch menu and as a vegetarian, the lunch menu is a little restricted. read more

Came on a Saturday night during the dinner rush was thankful to be immediately seated at the bar. Unfortunately the bar was sticky and we dined next to dirty dishes for the entire evening. We also seemed to be where most of the staff hung out and we had them reaching and shouting over top of us. The bartender could not handle the bar tickets and her tables and barely spoke to us (didn't even offer refills on our bar drinks). The food was ok, the hibachi was soaked in soy sauce and had a burnt taste. The sushi was awesome but I didn't love how the sushi chefs weren't asked to wear masks or beard nets. read more
