Staff was cordial, and the ambiance is no frills, kind of small & plain, but it does the job. 2019 was with my girlfriend of that time & a couple of friends walking around Bethesda Art Fair, and in 2022 was before a movie screening. Overall, it's a consideration if in the mood for poke and hanging around downtown Bethesda.

I dropped by Maki Maki in search of a some lunchtime grub. Interestingly, I thought I was visiting…read morea place that I had previously visited, but I quickly learned this was going to be a first-time dining experience for me. I was somewhat surprised that the restaurant was completely empty during lunch. However, I remembered that I dropped by a couple of days before Christmas, so folks probably where trying to head home or doing last-minute Christmas shopping. I took advantage of the sesame beef bento box lunch special, which was about $13 for the lunch special. I believe the lunch special, that includes a choice between various bento boxes and two maki rolls, from 11 am to 3 pm. My bento box included a good portion of sesame beef, a salad, some rice, and a three-piece California roll. Since the California roll was kind of thick, I'll say the roll was more like a four-piece standard roll. I was a bit surprised the bento box did not include a soup and/or dumplings, but it was what it was. Overall, I thought the bento box was quite tasty, and I really loved that the beef was crispy. It was slightly different style of preparation that I'm used to, but I think it really worked. The staff was very nice, and the restaurant was very clean. There is a paid public parking lot a few feet from the restaurant. However, I think the restaurant might have its own parking area, so double check before paying for parking.

Bonus points for presentation because every plate looked like a little piece of art. Beautifully plated without feeling pretentious. Definitely adding this spot to the "must return ASAP" list.

Everyone was so friendly, though, and the service was great! The inside wasn't too loud, and I don't remember much music playing, which made it nice and comfortable.

I usually like some kind of protein in my summer rolls, and these didn't have any, so they just weren't my favorite. Overall, everything else was amazing, and I'd definitely come back!

My husband has spent many years going to Hawaii so getting the MoCo loco was honestly super disappointing. The burger had no flavor, thank god for the fried egg cause that saved the dish. The macaroni salad was my favorite and it was a side! The bbq chicken was good but nothing special. The kid working the front barely said a word to us after we order, and then as we were getting ready to leave he took a FaceTime call from a friend while we were there and didn't disconnect from the sound system so heard the initial 2 seconds of the call. Overall, food was okay but service was rough and lacked any ambiance. Really wish it was better.

The restaurant has a modern, inviting atmosphere, and the staff was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire meal. We ordered the Black Magic Roll, the Mini Masunosuke Don Bento, and the Mini Unadon Bento, and every dish was exceptional. The Black Magic Roll was the standout of the meal, with incredibly fresh fish, great texture, and a unique combination of flavors that made every bite memorable. The Mini Masunosuke Don Bento featured king salmon topped with ikura over rice, along with karaage, salad, miso soup, and dessert. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented, making it feel like much more than a typical bento box. The Mini Unadon Bento was just as impressive. The grilled unagi was tender, flavorful, and perfectly glazed, served over rice with crispy karaage, salad, miso soup, and dessert. It was comforting, satisfying, and executed exceptionally well. What really stood out was the attention to detail. Every plate looked beautiful, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the quality was consistent across every dish we ordered. You can tell the chefs put a lot of care into both presentation and execution. If you're looking for high-quality Japanese cuisine in the Gaithersburg area, Kema by Kenaki is absolutely worth the visit. Between the creative sushi, outstanding seafood, and excellent service, it's an easy 5/5. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

We ordered the ribeye Japanese fried rice, Green Monster roll, J-Pop roll, California roll, Crunchy Shrimp roll, Crunchy Spicy Salmon roll, Shrimp Tempura roll, miso soup, and Deep Sea hand roll. Everything came out quickly, fresh, and flavorful - exactly what we've come to expect from this place. The ribeye in the fried rice dish was incredibly tender and cooked perfectly, while the rice itself was seasoned so well that every bite was packed with flavor. My favorite roll was definitely the Green Monster Roll - fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. I also appreciate that the maki rolls here are never skimpy, which makes them very filling and well worth the price. The service was excellent from beginning to end - quick, attentive and consistent throughout our visit. Our waters and hot green tea were always refilled without having to ask, and every request, from extra pickled ginger to additional plates, was handled promptly and politely. Overall, another solid dining experience with no issues at all. I would absolutely recommend this spot for either lunch or dinner if you're craving sushi. One thing to keep in mind is that they do close for a part of the afternoon to prepare for dinner service, so plan accordingly!

Since this location opened, it's always been a reliable spot where I know I'll get a large portion! I usually order the hibachi chicken with either fried rice or noodles (depending on how I'm feeling that day). Because of the larger portion size, I can make it into two meals or split it with someone. The yum yum sauce always good - thin enough to spread around your food and compliments the sauce on the meat already. I've had the bento boxes a few times and they're also good! Though for more bang for my buck, I usually just opt for the hibachi dishes.

I got the white rice with mine and it's cooked really well (not dry) If you're going grocery shopping and want to pick up some lunch or dinner, it's a solid choice.
