On my most recent visit, though, I noticed quite a few changes--new servers, a new payment system, and even different takeout containers. The sushi chefs behind the bar are still the same, and they mentioned there hasn't been a change in ownership. Unfortunately, the food didn't seem up to its usual standard this time. The miso soup was noticeably saltier, the chicken karaage wasn't very good, and the cheesecake was disappointing. The service also felt off, likely because of the new staff still getting up to speed. I'm hoping this was just an off day, as I've had many good experiences here before. I'll give it another try, but this visit was definitely a letdown.

For being a Hawaiian restaurant they are known having loving rice they gave us the most one cup rice each. i wasn't able to take pics of my wife's spam meal with side of lumpia: it was two pieces of spam and two pieces of lumpia I got the chamorro ribs with sides of lumpia & pancit. I know inflation made everything expensive but what's the excuse of having no flavor..? Pancit being I am filipino this is the worst one I have tastes sorry to say but the "school pancit" back when I was in elementary school has more flavorl FYK Lumpia is also more wrapper and no flavor on the filling.

The food is really good! I have twice gotten the chicken and beef combo and it is just amazing. The beef is tender and so flavorful.

Highly recommended!

I have been dreading having to write this review, but feel it is my duty both as an avid fan of…read moreJapanese food and a third-generation Japanese person. If I were considering dining at Maru, this is what I would want to know. The staff here are so welcoming, they have really nice chopsticks, and the service is friendly. Beyond that, it is straight downhill. To call this a Japanese-food restaurant is not accurate. Besides the sushi, the food seems to be a mishmash of Chinese and American cuisine with Japanese names. We started out with an order of so-called chicken karaage. Imagine my shock when the server delivered a dish of deep-fried chicken strips with a bright orange sauce on top. This dish tasted exactly like Chinese sweet and sour chicken minus the sour. Instead of pieces of thigh meat, it appeared to be sliced chicken breast. This was clearly prepared by someone who has never seen or eaten chicken karaage. My husband ordered the bento box. I wanted to order one but all four options contained chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura neither of which I wanted. Hubs went ahead and got one with an assortment of sushi. It also had salad (which was a small handful of mixed greens) Can you think of what was missing? Yeah, rice! He had to order and pay for rice as a side dish for a bento box!! WTH?? No self-respecting Japanese cook would serve a bento box without rice!! I sampled the chicken teri. Oh my god, so dry and tasteless. It also appeared to be sliced chicken breast which explained the dry texture. Hubs said the sushi was fine, fish fresh and rice tasted okay. Oh heavens, now onto my sad dish. I ordered the unagi bowl, clarifying with the server that rice was included. It wasn't visible from the menu picture. She enthusiastically confirmed it was, and that the bowl had a ginger dressing. Yum, I thought. That was the last time for the rest of the meal the word "Yum" came to mind. What was placed before me was this: A wide, shallow bowl with a small amount of rice in the bowl part. It was covered with mixed greens and spinach straight out of a package, not prepared in any way. The unagi was sliced thinly and laid on top. All over the lettuce and seeping unpleasantly throughout the rice was a creamy white dressing with no discernible flavor. Like a drab ranch. NOT the promised ginger dressing. Unfortunately for them, I avoid creamy dressings and mayonnaise. It was a nightmare on a plate. The unagi was okay but a bit chewy indicating either a poor quality or undercooking. I tried to eat the rice and salad part but the dressing just overpowered the whole dish. I left most of it after picking off the unagi. Finally, the rice was not cooked long enough or was not Japanese rice. I felt so sorry for our server. She noticed I hadn't eaten most of my dish and asked me how I like it. I just said I don't like creamy dressings and left it at that. She was so sweet but clearly knows nothing about Japanese cuisine. And her cooks know even less. If you want good Japanese food, stick with Syun Izakaya, their sister restaurant, Sawa's, or Mio Sushi. If you want to play Asian food roulette palate-wise, you might have fun here.

Located in the downtown Forest Grove area, close to Pacific University. Seems like a local hangout, and now issues finding parking, as we've always found street parking in front of the place. As we entered, it wasn't very busy, and no one greeted us at the entrance. But no big deal really, as the waitress (possibility manager) sat us at a table close to the kitchen. Service was pleasant and courteous, and on-point with the water refills. The dining area was pretty large and clean. I can only imagine, pre-pandemic, how popular this place would have been. Second time here, unfortunately no a/c to cool the place down. The guy serving us busted his arse to keep the place open for business. We had small samples bites and wanted to leave. $11 Korean BBQ Boneless Wings were glazed up good and not too hot in my opinion. However, the menu offers a lot to choose from, and the pricing is reasonable. Thus far I have not been upset with any of the dishes I've ordered. Would I come back? Yes, it's still a decent spot to hang out at, so long as there's good air flow and nice weather outside.

We start off with hot green teas & it's so authentic + rich in flavor. It comes in a nice tea pot and remains hot throughout our meal. We move on to get their gyoza & cucumber salad. Their gyoza is always crispy. The cucumber salad is simple but always delicious. We move onto our rolls - he likes the orange snow and I prefer the dragon rolls. They are portioned well. The flavors within the rolls complement each other well and I love the drizzle of unagi sauce. Our most recent visit, we ordered the poke salad. The Tuna was fresh and tasted great. We weren't huge fans of the seaweed salad. We've tried other rolls and have not been disappointed with any. Our family members also enjoy this place when we visit. The service is always quick and we are usually in and out within an hour. Definitely recommend this spot.
