The staff is incredible, and the chefs are on another level. I have to give a special shoutout to Chef Long. He creates a custom experience every single time we come in, and it never disappoints.

The staff is very friendly and they are always quick to deliver the rolls and refill drinks. The rolls are big! They used to be even bigger but it seems like they shrunk them down a tiny bit because they couldn't even close before due to their size. So now they fit together a little bit better but you will still get plenty of sushi for your buck! If you're in carrollton make sure to take a visit

So at a recent Yelp event, one of our table mates told us about this great sushi restaurant in…read moreCarrollton called Blue Maki. We decided to visit immediately. The dining room was bright, white, clean and open and their huge bar was in the middle. I was immediately greeted by the hostess who sat me down and gave suggestions. I started with the Japanese Highball cocktail which had flavors of yuzu and lychee mixed with Japanese whiskey and topped with Topo Chico...Best drink I've had in a LONGGGGG time. My appetizer was the kaarage chicken. It was good, the pieces were crispy but they were also huge. I'm used to karaage being bite sized but I had to take bites out of this huge chicken lol. I ordered two hand rolls, Rainforest Roll and the Wagyu Roll. The rainforest roll had flavor of fresh tuna, topped with a tempura shrimp. Amazing! The Wagyu roll was good but it was very simple and to the point. Not a burst of flavors in every bite. Literally just meat and rice. To make a long story short, I cannot wait to go back to get another highball and rainforest roll!

When I first walked in, I felt like I had stepped into another world. It was small, super clean with great decor. The service was spectacular as well! I ordered the salmon and uni, dragon and spider hand rolls and my friend ordered the wagyu and rainforest hand rolls ! Everything was absolutely delicious! Totally worth the hype! Everything was so high quality and made to perfection. I also ordered the cucumber salad which was crisp and refreshing and my friend ordered the chicken karaage. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, the Lychee Yuzu Classic High ball, completely sealed the deal !! This cocktail was perfectly balanced! I kid you not, I could have totally gone back and ordered it all over for dinner, that's how good it was!

The food was delicious - I especially loved the sashimi and the caramelized onion with meat. The place was clean, and I love that it's open late. The staff was a 5/5. From the owner to our server, everyone was so kind. They made us feel welcomed and ensured that we had what we needed and wanted. The food was delicious. I especially liked that the staff provided us with suggestions on how to order and recommendations based on what they love. It's a place where you can eat a variety of food. They also provide side dishes that taste amazing, like some Korean dishes, veggies, and meats. It's on my must-visit-again list. It's one of the few good places that are open late, so I really appreciate that!

Ordered takeout recently and got Alaskan rolls. Salmon wasn't cut properly and the other rolls were okay. Averagely priced.

There was a girl picking up plates all around. They cleaned the tables up quickly. I was super impressed. Water was constantly refilled, food was quickly coming. This was a 5 star experience especially when you consider it's AYCE. Quick recap Spicy edamame- actually spicy, lol Steak nigiri- husband loved it Shrimp nigiri- husband loved it California roll- good! Can't go wrong here. Butterfly kiss- I don't love it but I don't hate it either. I think the crab meat didn't taste as soft and sweet as some of the other sushi restaurants have. Chicken Karagge- I think it's the frying oil I'm not crazy about Yummy yummy- they were so BIG! 4 rolls but so big. Half the size would be perfect. Taste was good. Kushi tower- too much avocado, not enough rice, missing a crunch. Overall, I'm NOT an ACYE person bc I overeat and then feel like death because I'm too cheap to pay for leftover rice or a leftover roll but this place is solid! For someone who "eats everything" you would give it a 5/5. In a pain and don't like many things lol so my 4 is basically a 5!

Do not snooze on the oysters or the scallop with foie gras. Drink wise get the tokoyo dragon (if you like whiskey), tiger's flame (if your a fan of spicy & tequila) or the Japanese green tea shots (perfectly made). The ambience is perfect for special occasions, such as a birthday or a date. The coolest thing is that the second floor is a karaoke lounge that also has a full bar and has great energy so get rady to sing your heart out. The karaoke rental is separate from the restaurant so if you just want to sing your heart out without eating, you can. The music choices they play in the restaurant is also top tier and definitely brings on a a intimate party atmosphere. The only improvement I can offer is that their service is lacking from an organization standpoint. The servers can get a little confused and backed up with orders with a large group and a little intimidated with the loud table. However, the food makes up for the experience and overall it was a wonderful time. Looking forward to going back for date night. I'm excited to try their AYCE!!

Service: Came here at ~12:00a, and being that this is one of the few places in Carrollton that's open until late, there was a wait of ~15 min, which was fine. What was confusing, however, was there wasn't a wait list to put down your name--they just call for the next group when a table opens up, so you have to keep tab of which group came before you. Service overall was OK. Took a bit to get someone's attention for the check, and after asking for it the first time, one of the servers forgot to bring it over. Ambiance: Casual, traditional. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.
