Sushi Maru Japanese Restaurant

A very sushi place and local favorite. We came in for lunch in party of 3 and we enjoyed our dining experience. Big thanks for our server at the time, Ms Quynh and her service. Good place and easy for a quick lunch aa group or individual. The menu is easy and prices are reasonable. The restaurant is clean and they use fresh ingredients. Definitely we will come back for some more sushi and bento box. Highly recommended by locals and for sushi lovers.

Sushi Maru is hands down my new go-to spot! The sushi was absolute perfection, fresh, flavorful, and rolled like little works of art. 🎨✨ But what really blew me away was the customer service. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, it honestly felt like dining with friends who just happen to be master sushi chefs. 🥢💛 The place is spotless, stylish, and has such a good vibe, clean tables, cozy atmosphere, and the kind of energy that makes you want to stay for “just one more roll.” If you haven’t been yet, stop what you’re doing and go. Sushi Maru isn’t just good, it’s bomb good!

Our go to place for great sushi, stir fry and fried rice. Pricing is reasonable and portions are large. Service is always great and we have never been disappointed.

The food wasn't bad. It was fresh and had good flavor. The udon was great. It's just that we ordered the omakase, and we basically received a sample of the sushi from the menu (salmon, tuna, shrimp, etc). We just had higher expectations. Plus service was a bit slow.

Food was solid. Sushi chef behind the counter was great to chat with and made me a roll with mackerel and jalapeño that was the bomb. Of the two waitresses I got the wrong one. Will go back.

Been going here for 2+ years fairly consistently now. Food is phenomenal, my go to sushi/Japanese restuarant in all of Allen, heck, probably all of DFW! Highly recommend the Salmon tower. Prices recently got kicked up a bit so not exactly a cheap place to eat at, but nothing super crazy. Highly recommend the lunch bentos (~$13-17) or the Salmon Tower ~$21). The lunch bentos are insane value, healthy balanced meal, pick your protein on essentially a teriyaki plate (bento portion), bowl of rice, bowl of miso soup, bowl of salad with dressing, and some fried tempura with 1 gyoza... For as low as $13!?! Salmon tower is just beautiful. Have not had any sushi or "salmon/ahi" tower from any other restuarant in the world compare. I've been all over Texas, and half the USA. This is the best Salmon Tower I've ever had. I hate writing such a glowing review because I don't want them to get super busy, but on some weekdays business is slow and I want them to prosper.

Sushi Maru is the absolute best! Total hidden gem that makes some of the best quality sushi/hibachi. I used to drive 20 minutes to eat here and now I drive 40! Do yourself a favor and spend your money here. You won’t be disappointed! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The service the food the atmosphere was phenomenal. Unmatched for Dallas by far. I travel a lot and had sushi all over the US and I can promise you; you will not make any mistake ordering off this menu. Quality very fresh fish all around. Their yum yum sauce is not heavy like most and it’s very smooth taste; I can almost drink it. Great family restaurant and date night place. Their music choice set the whole mood. Loved the wait staff and Chef Ray! Thank you all so very much for great hospitality. Our family will be back!

Ordered from Sushi Maru this afternoon for the first time. We ordered tuna, blue fin tuna, salmon, yellowtail, octopus rolls/sashimi. As well as the Philadelphia and caviar rolls. For apps, I got a salad and veggie tempura. Everything we had tasted extremely fresh and delicious! Blue fin tuna and yellowtail were my favorites. Salad was fresh and the dressy was delicious but not overbearing in flavor. All in all, a very delicious lunch and would love to order more items from their menu in the future!

Friendly staff and a in eclectic menu make this a nice addition to this Allen strip mall. The chicken gyoza we tried were crispy with delicate and nicely seasoned filling. The rolls were pretty large, so a good value for the price. My spicy tuna roll was very tasty and not too spicy. We'll gladly come back.

It was my first time here and I enjoyed it. The waitress was very helpful. The place was clean and the food was good. Had the hamachi Kama and some sashimi and also the waitress recommended the fried rice. It was filling and it tasted good. Come and check them out.

10/10 We ordered way too much because we didn't listen to the waiter when he told us how big the portions were. Not only was the portion size extremely generous, but the flavor was amazing! Service was quick, and efficient. Restaurant was clean and bright. Cannot wait to go back! I'll post pics next time!

This restaurant is not too big but very welcoming. Nice and neatly decorated. Very warm and calm. I didn't expect too much from the food, since I believe it's a chain, but I was surprised! The gyoza and sushi we got was amazing! I had the veggie sushi and my husband the spicy tuna. Big portions. The gyoza was crispy and had a wonderful rich flavor. We were not too hungry when we went so didn't get everything we would have liked to try SO we have to go back. I know, poor me, right? Lol!

Got food poisoning, stayed up all night with a bad stomachache. Ordered the propose roll. Raw fish wasn't fresh. Called restaurant to let them know. They didn't care.

Our go to sushi spot was closed for takeout so we decided to give this spot a try! Portions were huge and the fish was delicious. We mostly got salmon dishes but it tasted fresh and I loved all the flavors. I'm glad we were able to try it out.

Love this place! Great sushi, super nice wait staff, and very large portions. Even the cheaper rolls are really big. Definitely will be back!

only a tad bit expensive but the taste pays for it. the propose roll and black tiger roll filled up me and my partner. best sushi i've had in a long time in a local place. loved it , clean and good service too

Wow! So, upon walking in...I really didn't expect much. It's a very modest place w/ limited tables for seating. But, OMG....first impressions were deceiving. Our waiter was so nice, friendly & helpful. The sushi rolls were *chefs kiss*! SOOOOOOO GOOD! And huge! This is our new favorite sushi place in the area. We're excited to come back to try the whole menu.

We came here to try their lunch bento. The place is not busy, since we came in after 1:30 pm on a weekday. I ordered Salmon Teriyaki Bento and Wifey ordered Chicken Teriyaki Bento. They're delicious. Fresh Miso soup, tasted not like instant. Serving staff is good and helpful. Well decorated and lighted place. Will bring our family here next time.

We came in for a lunch and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the rolls were. The house rolls are a bargain for how large they are. These are certainly not your average sized rolls that you would expect. They aren't HUGE but they are certainly chunky boys. The speciality rolls might seem a little high on the cost but they do not go easy on the ingredients that are in them. Overall, we were very satisfied with our lunch and we will be back. Sorry, no photos this time.

I went here at about mid afternoon on a Thursday and I would have to say they were steadily busy. It was pretty easy however to find parking and the service was great. The staff were really friendly and very attentive to your needs. The restaurant itself was very clean and is a great spot to go out with friends for lunch. I ended up getting one California roll and one Texas Roll. I really love California rolls so I really enjoyed this however for the Texas roll I wasn't a big fan. They both however were big portions and I was only able to eat half of both. It was about $30.00 for both which was not too bad - they do have lunch specials but it is only for certain items on the menu. Definitely can see myself going back here again!

This is a hidden gem. Large pieces of sushi which have a high level of skill and art in each creation. Bites taste delicious. Will always come here for sushi.

Great little sushi place in Allen!! Thought I already found great sushi in Allen but then I found Sushi Maru! Ive only done take out/pick up but always is very fresh & great portions! Quick too! So nice that they have promos & customer rewards! Need that in this economy! Can't wait to dine in- looks cozy! Go here- you wont be disappointed!!

this place is SO good. their rolls are the biggest I have ever seen (and I eat a LOT of sushi). their fish is so fresh. the restraining is small, can probably seat about 40ish people but it is so clean and it's nice and quiet. we had the sushi burrito, philadelphia roll, panic roll, some sort of shrimp crunchy roll, and the spicy yellow tail. this place is really great because the speciality rolls are worth the money. they are actually somehow bigger than the regular rolls. i love this place. i will 10000% be back. the waitress even warned us that the rolls are big, and she was so right. one of the best spots in DFW for sure.

Needed to do something different for lunch other then eating pho on a super hot summer day. Allen needed a place like this. Seating is limited, but certainly worth the wait for a table. A few times I've had to sit at the bar. This area is always stacked high with styrofoam to go boxes. The first time this happened, it left me unsure if I was to wait to order with a waitress or the chef. Much confusion! I don't think I will sit at the bar after these last few times. It's annoying looking through styrofoam boxes piled 4 feet high. I recommend waiting for a table till they make sitting at the bar more pleasurable. The pieces of sushi are thick and worth the price. My bill, most times with a tip, are between $30-$35 dollars. Water only too! Hubby brought me home some items from the take home menu. Personally, I suggest you eat any sushi fresh when it's made. Otherwise, its not pretty, still good, although the pieces become shriveled in the fridge after a couple of hours. Mine looked like slugs....Unappealing for sure! I recommend that you eat here at least once! October/2021

Sushi Maru, did you change owners and staff? We ordered the hibachi fried rice w/2 protiens. I asked if I could pay extra for an additional protein and you told me no. Wtf???? The dish is swimming in oil. No flavor. Very little protein the chicken is dry and chew. Where are the vegetables and egg? There is always vegetables and egg in fried rice. You used to be our favorite but now you like Panda Express.

Portions are large, sushi is delicious, very friendly staff, and well priced. Highly recommend. I will be returning!

Quiet and authentic. If you want loud music and overpriced sushi, this is not the place. If you want delicious food, fresh fish, excellent service, and authentic Japanese sushi, this is for you. Best in DFW by far.

Unassuming strip mall Japanese restaurant with excellent food. We've had the Hamachi collar, sushi, Teriyaki all better than you'd expect. My mom chooses this for her Mother's Day outing. Give them a try, I think you'll be pleased.

I got the salmon bento box and squid karaage. Food is very good. Service is impeccable. I highly recommend this place.

Spicy tuna- tuna was not fresh Philadelphia- salmon was not fresh and avocados were hard Rolls were huge which I don't like- it wasn't a one bite sushi Also ordered teriyaki chicken/hibachi/ chicken were tiny chewed up pieces, fried rice was bland Restaurant smelled weird

This is now our go-to stop for sushi. My teenage son loves their rolls and towers. He leaves so full, and it doesn't kill my wallet. Win-win.

Everything is fresh and cooked to perfection I love this restaurant !! I get there sushi and hibachi fried rice and it's just perfect everytime and the shrimp sumi

Small space in strip mall but fantastic, friendly staff and service. California roll, baked salmon roll, crunch shrimp tempura roll, Japanese nachos and combo fried rice - ALL DELICIOUS! Waitress was awesome, answered our questions about the menu and was very responsive. We went after church @ 12 and was not crowded yet. Will definitely go back!

Don't overlook this little sushi spot. It's located in a strip mall and can be easy to miss, but the food here is excellent. The server warned us that the rolls are enormous - challenge accepted! Everything was delicious. We didn't have to wait to be seated at 7:30 on Friday night, nor did we need to wait very long for the food to arrive. I highly recommend this place for a local date night.

This place is great. We got vegetable tempura as an appetizer & it was the crispiest & freshest I have had maybe ever? They also gave tempura dipping sauce which you don't normally get at a lot of restaurants!! That was very pleasant. We also got the combo fried rice, a dragon roll, a cherry blossom roll, yellowtail & egg sushi & a miso soup. All were phenomenal, but I want to call out the Dragon Roll in particular for being warm, delicious, fresh, and full. They definitely do not skimp on portions or fillings in the sushi here! & The food comes out FAST!! Yep, I will definitely come back. Just wanted to flag though that you might have to be patient with the staff if you come while it is busy- the place is small & I only saw two servers in the whole restaurant. So happy this is close to my place!

Love the food and the service is great. Sushi is huge and very much worth it. This was my third time coming and I will definitely be coming again.

Quality of ingredients is high, great presentation, and the rolls are very large. On top of it the servers are very attentive.

The food was not great, we had a mix of things from the grill to the sushi and there was nothing that stood out. The chicken was over done and dry, the steak was mediocre and the fried rice was nothing to write home about. The sushi was very low quality and I have had better come out of a grocery store. Not sure where the great reviews are coming from but it was not worth making a return visit. They also need to fix the air conditioning, it was 82+ in there and only got hotter as more people showed up and they started doing heavy cooking.

Most people come for the rolls, but their hibachi fried rice is amazing. Portion sizes are good. Service is quick and friendly.

This place is my family's go-to for sushi. Been there quite a few times and never disappointed. Attentive service. Close quarters seating arrangement. My only slight issue is that there is perhaps some sort of plumbing issue and the smell is a bit noticeable.

The service was fantastic. Food was so fresh. We ordered the bento boxes and there was so much food in their bento boxes for lunch. Inside was so clean. The prices are reasonable.

Nice small cozy spot. Super clean, service is good. The menu has quite a bit to choose from. I came in solo, like I often do and ordered quite a bit to try. The waitress was like are you sure? That's a lot of food... so yeah note to the waitress don't question how much someone orders. The portions are super hefty, which is rare with sushi; so that's a plus as in getting your money's worth in sushi. The presentation is very lovely. I ordered my favorite nigiri sushi; albacore, salmon and scallops spicy. (The scallops were good, but this place doesn't chop the scallops up and mix in a spicy sauce like I usually get it) I ordered the heart attack roll, which was tasty but plain. I assumed there would be more fish in it but it was mainly crabmeat and cream cheese, so for the price and description, that one was disappointing... but huge portions. The mussels were delicious, the miso soup was good as well. I also ordered a cherry blossom roll; that I misread.... Thought it didn't come with rice.... But it does. It was okay, didn't really taste the mustard sauce that was advertised on the description. (Note the sauce was served on the side; just never got to me) I do love that they serve pickled cucumbers and radishes with the sushi. All in all, I'd definitely come back to try their cooked food and try some other sushi. But unfortunately the two I ordered today weren't the greatest.

Service is good. Food is good. The restaurant is clean and well lit. They have a mix of common and fun rolls on their menu. Just be aware the portions are big and the rolls are too!

This place was alright all around. The food portions were said to be really big. But not at all. Salad was awful the miso soup was decent. And everything else came out pretty good but this place isn't huge. Very small place and probably won't be back. Food wasn't amazing but it was mid and pretty pricey for not being delicious

Food is great just gets hot in evening and their a/c can't keep up with the outside heat Sushi and Roma are always spot on

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! If I could I would give it negative stars. Server was excellent but the reason for the negative review is both my daughter and I got very sick eating there. I had the spicy scallops and with in 20 minutes of eating it I started to sweat, became light headed, and gave my mom and wife a big scare. They were trying to call 911 because I passed out at the table and when I came around to walking out I threw up right outside the door. When telling the manger what happened and advising them that they should stop serving the scallops the excuse we got was "we open a fresh one everyday". It almost cost me a ride in an ambulance. The least they could have done was pull the scallops and compensate us for the event. I guess $8.50 refund for the scallops was enough for a $100 worth of food. Then at 1AM my daughter threw up.

Their food is good but it smells like shit in here. Their grease trap or bathrooms must be backed up. It's disgusting

We had the Yaki Soba with chicken. The noodles were the thick spaghetti noodles. It was very greasy! The chicken tasted like raw fish. Awful!!

Great sushi at good prices! I had 2 rolls, summer roll (very tasty and good quantity of fish), and butterfly kisses roll which was a substantial amount of salmon/crabmeat for the price. I also ordered the salmon tower which was decent, I have had better, but I have also had worse. Definitely worth trying this sushi place out!

I already been to this place 3times, since they opened recently. Their foods and service have made me satisfied Everytime. Sushi, hibachi, teriyaki, rice bowl and ramen. They got everything. Their portions are Texas size and I could tell they use quality ingredients. I love this newly opened Japanese restaurant in Allen. Check out their lunch bento special~

I had the Sashimi Sampler, good presentation fish was fresh. Waitress was very friendly and timely, place was clean. I will go back.

Blown Away by the food. It was a fantastic experience and I'll be coming back weekly with my family.

Best Japanese food I've had in a long time. Huge portions, and very nice staff. And the food was amazing.

Wow. Glad I found this place. Got three salmon rolls with tempura flakes and ell sauce baked they are fabulous. Also chicken teriyaki and edamame and a salad and and :). Not a small portion. They need to fix themselves so they comes up on Apple Maps on the iPhone under sushi otherwise I would of found them sooner I went cross the street to a sushi place last time. Not so great and high pricing I found them on Apple Maps looking for a sushi place but this place did not come up. This place it's so much better. Plus you can dine in here where across the street can't. This is my new favorite place.

My new sushi place. Second time doing carry out and they haven't disappointed. Rolls good sizes, very filling. Highly recommend trying this place out. Noodles were full of flavor, and they provided enough sauces for the rolls.

The fish here is very good. The food here comes out with care and love. I recommend their omakase. Very good and worth your money.
