    Marumi Sushi is one of the few remaining Japanese family owned sushi spots in NYC and it shows in every detail. The sushi sets a bar just above average, fresh, well executed, and satisfying, without diving into the omakase craze or 100+ per person prices. The rolls are done right, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere carries that authentic family owned charm you only get from a place that has been around for decades. If you want solid, fresh sushi without breaking the bank, Marumi is a must visit.

    Sushi Set B (no soup for take out)
    Vicell M.

    Food is great! Order the sushi B for lunch and it comes with 5 pieces of nirigi and a Cali roll for $20. The rice is seasoned perfectly. Just note that the lunches are cash only and you dont actually get miso soup. The soup is only for dine-in. This is a bit misleading especially when I was looking forward to the warm soup on the cold day. Hence less a star.

    This was a really fun dinner. The atmosphere was great and all of the food was delicious. The fish was incredibly fresh with great flavor and good color. The servers and hostess were incredibly welcoming and were very attentive to water and multiple rounds of orders. I highly recommend and of the hand rolls, nigiri, and crispy rice. Everything else was very good as well. Totally perfect for a casual sushi dinner with incredibly nice staff. Definitely worth a try if you're in the mood for sushi.

    Sushi Jo
    Esther R.

    We ordered the rainbow sake cocktail, ginger saketini, the sushi Jo, and the seafood miso nabe. The sake cocktails were sweet and tasty, and at $12 each, we felt they were reasonably priced. The sushi Jo was alright, though it didn't quite feel worth the $35. Finally, we received the seafood miso nabe (not pictured), but it came with thin cellophane noodles and vegetables. Unfortunately, the balance was off, with too many noodles and vegetables and not enough broth, so I wouldn't recommend it. Overall, the service was fast and the presentation was good; the taste was average, but staff members were friendly.

    This is a step above no frills in the best way! The Chef's Choice Sushi is priced very reasonably ($50 after tip and tax)!considering there is uni and toro. I really enjoyed the sweet shrimp and scallop as well. I always forget to ask for no wasabi, which came in each nigiri but it wasn't too bad! I think next time I'll try the Sushi Jo for slightly less but without uni. I arrived close to opening and there were already several parties. It filled up a decent amount shortly after, with families, couples, other smaller groups etc.

    Wagyu Sukiyaki Pot
    Olivia P.

    The sushi is good but nothing special or particularly fresh. If you're looking for cheap and decent sushi at a sit down restaurant this is a good option. I got the Wagyu sukiyaki and my review is mainly based off of this dish. This was super disappointing. The meat was so tough and chewy. Not flavored whatsoever. There was hardly any soup in the pot too it was almost like a dry entree, which is not what it should be. The mushrooms and broth were good but overall it was so disappointing and not filling whatsoever especially for $27.

    Used to be one of my favorite places to go around Washington Square Park. The quality of the food went down during the pandemic but it's still okay. The uni this time wasn't super fresh and the toto was quite tough. Other sushi rolls were fine though. The servers and sushi chefs are super nice. Request to sit in the back of the restaurant; it feels cosy.

    Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice
    Josephine L.

    Marumi isn't going to win any Michelin stars, and that's a good thing. I don't want the world knowing about this quiet, cozy sushi-ya with bargain prices and great quality. Where else can you find a Salmon Avocado roll for just $6, or a Rainbow Roll for just $16--WITHOUT being food poisoned? Everything we got hit the spot. Salmon lovers should make a platter of the Rainbow Maki, Salmon Avocado, Spicy Salmon, and Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice (just to change things up). Uni lovers will appreciate the Premium Mini Chirashi with uni. And tempura lovers will enjoy the perfectly fried, perfectly crisp Seafood Tempura. Wash it all down with some piping hot Genmai tea, and this is the kind of dining out I'd do every day...and still be able to retire comfortably!

    Sushi for 2
    Shiwen T.

    I was going to give 4 star but think the 3 star reviews are not doing this place justice, and hence 5 to bring up rating. This is a value restaurant. You are not going to get premium quality sushi but guaranteed to have decent sushi at an affordable rate ($55/p all in). The staff also won't rush you out of the door once you are done, so it's perfect for a friends' catch up dinner. I'd stick with sushi and avoid wagyu, maybe also yellowtail (not fresh). The space is cute and has ample seating.

    Entree with 5 pieces nigiri sushi + 2 rolls
    Ava C.

    Super fresh fish. I am impressed by this place. The prices are super reasonable as well. I got a $27 entree that came with 5 pieces of assorted sushi and 2 rolls. The salmon and avocado roll was a standout, although everything was delicious. The service was excellent -- very friendly and attentive waiters. And the ambiance was so cozy and intimate... just what we needed after a long day exploring the city!

    Chef 's Choice Sushi
    Ipsita D.

    We came here because I was meeting up with a friend who had just gotten off work in the Washington Square Park area and had a broken toe so we didn't want to walk too far. Waitress was nice & gave her recommendations when we asked. We ordered edamame & spicy tuna over crispy rice (this was pretty good) as apps to share and I got a sweet plum wine (decent) while my friend had a Spanish wine as well as a white wine to drink. For mains, my friend ordered various individual pieces of sushi & a roll. I ordered the chef's choice which was 10 nigiri. I figured this was a way of getting possibly different things than I would have ordered myself, and was hoping that I would be pleasantly surprised by various fresh & delicious pieces similar to what I've had elsewhere with omakase. But while there were different pieces I didn't really find them that tasty or super fresh. Disappointing for me, but I hope my friend liked hers better. I didn't get a chance to ask as we were too busy talking about other things since we hadn't seen each other in a long while. So ended up shutting the place down (I think maybe they close at 9:30 and we left around 9:45). Restaurant ambiance is casual & clean though a fairly small place. What really bothered us though was that it was SO HOT inside though outside was so nice! I thought maybe a/c was broken but there was a period of about 5 min where we felt a nice cool blast of air before it went back to being swelteringly hot. Maybe I would've enjoyed the food more if it wasn't so uncomfortable.

    Sake
    Amanda D.

    Wow! I was honestly beyond excited about how much I liked this place. This is not a showy overcreative sushi roll place. You are coming here for the amazing quality fish. Basic but delicious. Started with sake, the list of sake they offer isn't that long but the few options they have are good. Comes out on ice so every glass you pour and drink is chilled perfectly. Ordered gyoza to share as an app, thought they were very tasty. For dinner I ordered a spicy tuna roll, two pieces of ebi sushi, a piece of tuna sashimi and a piece of white tuna (bincho tuna). The fish was so fresh, the quality was better then I have had in a long time. My friend got a few different things but she said the eel sushi she got were out of this world good! Definitely something to order if you like eel. I can't wait to come back and try more things from their menu.

    Truffled chawanmushi
    Kayo N.

    I've already hit this understated and under the radar sushi spot twice this year, post -covid, which is a big deal. I've turned into a cooking demon at home, and these days, eating out happens very infrequently. The most recent visit was for a friend's birthday. They were able to accommodate all 7 of us in their tented outdoor seating area. Service was quick and efficient. The sushi selections were fresh and delicious. The stand out in particular, was a truffled crab chawanmushi, which was a cross between soup and egg. custard. The umami from the dashi and the faint truffle scent really elevated this dish. There were a couple large pieces of crab as well. I could have easily eaten ten of these, and this dish alone makes the visit here worthwhile. Definitely bookmark this for your next covid meal.

    Fast, tasty, affordable prices. Marumi is the type of go-to sushi restaurant that many New Yorkers wish they lived around the corner from.

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.
