An omakase paradise worth the hype.

Maru is the kind of place that makes you rethink your life choices—like, why haven't I been here sooner? With a stellar 19-course omakase menu, every bite is an artful masterpiece. JessicaMsy couldn't get enough, especially with the chopstick takeaway—now that's a souvenir worth having. Sam H celebrated a birthday here, and let’s just say the team didn’t miss a beat, accommodating dietary quirks like pros. And don't even get me started on the fish; it’s fresher than a morning jogger in spring.

The chefs come with a side of humor, as M Leung found out during their festive omakase experience. And if you're solo like Eunwoo Kim, don’t sweat it—this place makes you feel right at home. Trust me, the only thing missing here is a Michelin star, but who needs that when you’re already this legendary? 🍱
