First time here and it was great! We did the AYCE all-you-can-eat on a Monday (they only do it Monday and Tuesdays) - got there around 7:30p and even though it was very full, we got seated quickly with a table for 3. It's $50 for the regular AYCE or $80 for the Premium AYCE. We opted for the former, and it was plenty great. We have done lots of AYCE sushi and I will say this is the BEST of them - I think it's because it's the same grade sushi as they would normally do Ala carte on other nights. The $50 menu had plenty of sashimi and regular nigiri (sushi with rice) options and some Thai too. We had mostly the sashimi Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, Octopus, a few rolls, some edamame, gyoza, shumai. My favorites were the salmon, as the cuts were large, thick and amazing silky, and the gyoza, as it was perfectly crispy. The Pad Thai was bit way too sweet for my taste - a skip for me next time. The decor is very nice - reminded me of a dive Tokyo bar. Service was quick and very attentive. We will be back! read more

Have been hearing about their Mon & Tue AYCE, so went on to try it a month or so ago. With what seems to be a recent price increase, now $50++ allows access to a good variety of sushi/sashimi, on top of apps, ramen, poke bowls, and cooked rice/noodle dishes. Whereas $80++ offers diners a set of amount of uni, plus unlimited amount of everything else, wagyu included. Sounds like a good deal, especially when one can eat a lot. Even as we are no longer Team Eat Till You Burst, we went for the premium, mainly for the nicer cuts such as toro and wagyu, and because uni!! Jumping in shortly after 5pm, we were promptly seated, marked a bunch of stuff on paper, and soon after submission, we got food brought to our table. It was a decent meal overall, so why 3 stars? Let's recap. Menu variety is fantastic, though of course we didn't get "one of everything", coz that's simply impossible. While the premium did cover a lot of grounds, it would have been nice if they also included anago (sea eel) which is currently only available on the a la cart menu, and maybe even offer couple lesser-known items such as monk fish liver app, sea grapes, off-the-beaten-path fish cuts, what have you. Would be happy even if we only get an allotment of those like we do with the uni. Now, service - great overall. Servers circulated around and were alert of customers' needs. Approached at appropriate times to take our order sheets, refill water, provide new order sheets, and ask if we wanted more food. So kudos on that. Their denotation of serving "regular portion" of cooked food had us hesitant in ordering, since we didn't want to be wasteful (or use our limited stomach space for dishes we can easily get elsewhere). But from other tables' orders as well as the one noodle dish that we ended up getting, it seems that the portion size was what I would like to see at AYCE places -- about 50-60% of regular Asian dish size, where 3-4 people can each have a couple bites "just to try". However, to think if that is what they call "regular portion", then it is definitely "Brookline pricing" on a la carte, which I would not recommend one to do such things on these items. Food is fantastic in general; we got a variety of stuff, and everything was really of top quality and taste. The meal would have been a "highly recommended" if they didn't serve the uni that we got. Out of the 12 pcs of uni sushi, all of them were... while not "foul" to a point where one cannot safely consume, they were definitely more sub-par than "ok but not great". Colors aside (which I understand there can be a range depending on origins and such), the uni was a "splat" of yellow stuff on rice, without distinct shape of the flesh. On top of the fishy smell (I'm talking about slightly ammonia-ish), the presentation and taste-texture upon them hitting our tongues... really left the ENTIRE room to be desired. In retrospect, we should have sent them back even if they weren't going to replace them. But instead, we stupidly forced ourselves to shove them all down in cowardly silence, then ordered another round of wagyu just to make us feel a little better about it. Yes, we weren't smart as customers. But if the restaurant is going to charge $100++ per person (after tax and tip), someone from the kitchen should have known better than pushing this thing out for customers to deal with. In their defense, yes, the uni itself was still "edible" in a sense that it didn't make us sick, but I'd maintain that better judgment should have been made. Once the shell was cracked open and you see this pale-gray yellow mush, it should have been decided that it is better repurposed, than be served straight to your customers as your star/featured product. As seen in other diners' experiences, it could just have been a one-off mishap, so I'm not knocking them entirely. But I do hope the restaurant would improve on their QC accordingly. It was such a disappointing low point in an otherwise wonderful meal. read more

I've ordered delivery from here so many times, and my first dine-in experience did not disappoint. We got here on a Friday evening without a reservation and were seated with no wait. The menu is so large and varied (sushi, izakaya, noodles, Thai food, etc) and yet every item is done so well! We got the teriyaki chicken, chicken katsu, yaki ika, and unagi and cucumber roll, and every item was fresh and delicious. Our orders were taken and served quickly, our waters were refilled regularly, and prices were normal for the area. I would definitely come back to try even more of their menu items! read more

Came here for the $40 AYCE a few weeks ago and came back tonight to try the premium $80 AYCE. The $40 option is now $50, and definitely the only one I'd recommend. The premium upgrades really are not worth the price difference, especially since they told us they were out of uni only AFTER we had already placed our first order. A server came back and said, pretty unapologetically, "I forgot to tell you we sold out of the uni." It felt like a bait and switch and was really disappointing. They should have let us know before we ordered, or honestly before we were even seated, and at least offered some kind of accommodation or discount. The only premium items that felt worth an upcharge were the torched salmon and salmon roe. The otoro was not very fatty, and the wagyu was just ok, sliced a bit too thin and not very tender. The scallops and sweet shrimp were also ok. The $50 AYCE is a decent value. The sashimi cuts are thick and the quality is high for AYCE. The salmon is my hands down favorite. But tonight's experience was disappointing enough that I probably would not return. And ultimately there are other AYCE spots that offer slightly lower quality at a much lower price, and thus feel more worth it. read more

Went for the AYCE sushi on. Atuesday at 5 pm. We had a large party of ~12 people that they were able to accomodate last minute. It was $50 per person, which is pretty pricey but the sushi was good quality. Service was good (got slower as the evening went on) and ambiance was also great. Location was super convenient right in coolidge corner. read more

Fantastic service! There were only 2 servers and they worked together to make sure every wish/need was met! My straw and chopsticks wrappers disappeared moments after they were removed. If I looked up, someone was at my table to ask if I needed anything. I've never been treated do well! And, there were other customers and tables to care for. Ordered sushi and sashimi and mango sticky rice. The fish was fresh and the sashimi was the thickest slices I've ever had! So good. The sauce for the mango sticky rice was weirdly salty, though. I would definitely go back! read more

The AYCE review! So it's April 2026 and right now Maguro is still running this all you can eat menu on Monday and Tuesday. You have a choice between a standard menu of items for $40 or a premium menu (includes standard) for $80. The $40 AYCE menu is pretty awesome. Alot of sushi and Thai options. Good selection of nigiri or sashimi. The basics of salmon, tuna, shrimp and all of your standard sushi options. Also includes various sushi rolls. You can get appetizers like gyoza and edamame even. . This menu also has Thai dishes like pad thai Of course had to try the premium which includes Otoro, uni and wagyu as the highlights. There are some upgraded appetizers and rolls also in this menu. Unfortunately, but understandably, uni is limited to 4 per person. No limits on the other items. The otoro and uni were excellent. Same for the wagyu and salmon. Mixed in some pieces of sweet shrimp, scallop, lean tuna and more just to round out the meal. I ate 40 pieces of sushi. Which more or less is $2.50 per piece after including a tip and tax. Was it worth it? I can probably say the for $80 you can get a ton of great sushi. They definitely don't downgrade the quality for the deal. Could I do this weekly? Probably not. I left so full. The $80 menu kind of compelled me to order more than I might eat normally. The$40 meal includes dishes like pad thai anyway so I think i could go back and do a sushi pregame and finish with some Thai food. That $40 is definitely worth it. Anyway, you should try this deal once before it goes. I don't think it's permanent. $80 for the premium is only worth it if you love Uni and otoro. Service was great. The inside was busy. The deal is popular. The inside of the place is warm and inviting even while packed. read more

I tried this place recently and unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. The Maguro Don was too pretty small in my opinion, and it looks way bigger in the picture. I'm fine with paying a bit more when I order raw fish, but I at least hope to be full by the end of the meal, and I honestly wasn't. Next off the service was super slow, which I can be fine with if that's the only issue, but as noted above, it wasn't. It was nearly half an hour before I even got water, so of course I was also ready to order by then. Overall this was just a pretty disappointing meal here read more

Maguro - Maguro Don - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Maguro in Brookline is a great restaurant to go to if you enjoy both Japanese & Thai food! They offer BOTH & I've never had a bad experience dining here. Extensive menu and just starting this week, they're running a new, limited time all-you-can-eat (AYCE) menu Monday-Wednesday, from open to close! They have two AYCE options: standard $39.99 & Wagyu premium $69.99. We were very tempted to try the Wagyu premium but ended up doing the standard menu. In my opinion, the standard menu is a great deal! I've been to a few sushi AYCE spots recently & honestly, the quality of fish has gone down drastically for many places. Now, ~$40/pp is the average going price for AYCE... for pretty mediocre food. BUT, the meal I had at Maguro for AYCE last night was awesome! All the fish we ordered was very fresh & the cooked dishes we got had great flavor. I've been here many times before so I have an idea of what their food looks & tastes like, and they did not skimp at all. I'm definitely already looking forward to trying the Wagyu premium menu soon, as it includes some of my favorites such as otoro, Wagyu, and uni! Highly recommend coming here for delicious Japanese & Thai food ;) Parking: meter street parking Also, train accessible & right across the street from Coolidge Corner Green line (C) stop! read more

Came here on a Tuesday night for the AYCE menu and I really wanted to give this a 5 but they still need to get some of their systems in place to handle AYCE volume. That being said, they only started AYCE on Monday/Tuesday this month, so it's still very new. I arrived at 6:00pm and was told that the wait was an hour. There's not a great area for waiting and people started crowding by the entrance to the restaurant, so we found a bench outside and waited. Inside the restaurant was just so hectic with people standing around waiting for a table, delivery drivers coming in every few minutes, and the lack of an official waiting area. We were seated at around 6:40 so it wasn't that bad of a wait. That being said, when we were seated, we noticed a couple next to us who had been seated about 30 minutes prior without any food in front of them, so we were quick to get our first orders in. Still, we waited 30 minutes for the food to arrive, and we never actually received some of the items we ordered (missing a miso soup, a spicy tuna roll, and a spicy salmon roll). We did get our sashimi and nigiri though, which was really great quality. The sashimi (salmon, yellowtail, and tuna) was really nicely thickly cut and very fresh. It was probably the best sashimi we've had at an AYCE place. The nigiri was also good (squid, salmon, tuna, yellowtail, smoked salmon, octopus), and the ratio of rice to fish was great. We could tell the staff was being pushed so we didn't complain about the missing soup and two rolls. Instead, in our 2nd order, we got the spicy tuna again as well as some sashimi and nigiri again. This time, it only took about 20 minutes for the food to come out. The nigiri and sashimi was great as before, but we weren't a huge fan of the spicy tuna - normally we like when it comes with tempura flakes with the minced fish but this was just tuna with hot sauce mixed in. I didn't taste any mayonnaise or tempura, but it wasn't too bad. For our last order (not pictured) we ordered a chashu bowl and the portion size was HUGE. There was so much rice in it, and it took both of us to finish the bowl. The meat was nice and smoky, but it was just so filling that we couldn't order anything after that - I think it was a full dinner portion. All in all, it was a little hectic and the staff looked really overworked so wait times were a bit higher than we'd like, but the staff was still really nice despite running around so much. I really hope management develops a better system for things to give their staff some wiggle room, but there is definitely some room for process improvement. Still, the quality of the food being served is great and we'd definitely come back in a month or two once things settle down! read more

Limited time AYCE menu. Two tiers ($40/70) We opted for the $40 this go around on their new limited time AYCE menu! Must say this was worth it. Plates come out quickly. Sashimi included which is our favorite. Now if you wanted a5 wagyu don or wagyu nigiri, Otoro etc you'd need to upgrade to the $70 per person premium tier. We definitely had our fill today. Grabbed a lot of sashimi- fresh and chunky! Their fries with the bonito flakes was fire. drunken noodles with shrimp was tasty, could have liked a bit of heat and less bamboo shoots but it was good! The fried shrimp shumai is as expected with a yummy dipping sauce! Salted edamame to end the meal. Miso soup to cleanse the palate. Need to go back for the $70 tier and get a bunch of other wagyu and otoro dishes. But honestly i was happy with the $40 tier. Ample space for a group, couple or family meal! read more

I was in town for a family event and we heard about how great the restaurant was. My parents got bowls of ramen but I was seriously craving sushi. I ordered two spicy tuna rolls, a salmon avocado roll, and edamame to start. The sushi was great and although the spicy tuna rolls could have been creamier, they were still really good. I had a diet coke to go with my meal and my dad ordered sake. My parents loved their meals as well though I feel like I should have also gone with the Ramen as well. To be honest everything on the menu looked really good so it was pretty hard to choose what we wanted. We did end up ordering a lot of food because we were starving but we loved everything that we ordered. read more

The menu is quite impressively extensive at this izakaya, with everything from sushi to ramen to Thai! I've ordered something different each time, and I'm sure I'll be able to find many great dishes without even needing to repeat one. The restaurant itself is classy, though not too high-end to be prohibitively expensive. The unagi avocado roll is inexpensive and surprisingly filling for a small "classic" roll. I can down pretty significant quantities of sushi, but I was surprisingly full after this meal! I've also previously ordered the sashimi deluxe, which is enjoyable for good-quality fish served in a beautiful wooden box. Service is quick and the food didn't take long to come out, though it was a bit slower with a large party. read more

Based off all the good reviews, we went in to try the new $70 ayce menu. It was busy but we got seated pretty quickly. They forgot a couple of things each time we ordered but service was good. The uni was fresh but the wagyu wasn't up to par. The otoro was okay but it was still a bit frozen. The sashimi slices were generally too thick in my opinion. The rice was mushy so it took away from the maki and nigiri experience. I even ordered multiple rounds to see if the rice would improve, hoping for a new batch of rice but it didn't. I guess it might be okay if you opt in for the $40 tier but the $70 tier wasn't worth it. read more

This place markets itself as Japanese / Thai fusion , but the quality of the fish is cheap. Most of the high ratings seem to come from people who simply don't have much to compare it to. First off, the restaurant is clearly owned and operated by Fuzhou-style Chinese staff and chefs. It feels like just another spot targeting non-Asian customers who may not recognize the difference. I ordered a sushi don, a sushi platter, and basil fried rice. The basil fried rice was especially disappointing. It was wet and soaked in sauce. Authentic basil fried rice should have the basil deep-fried first to release its aroma, then stir-fried with the rice. This was nowhere close. I'm so mad I don't have their basil fry rice to show. As for the sushi, the fish quality was on par with low-end buffet sushi--maybe slightly better, but not by much. Overall, this restaurant failed to properly represent any Asian cuisine, whether Chinese, Japanese, or Thai. This was a total disappointment. read more

Pictures can be so deceiving. The rating is 2.5 stars!!! The pics of my dinner looked pretty decent. But taste wise, it was boarder line an average. Maguro omakase A: Chu toro sashimi: small but thick slices, tasted pretty good. Chu toro sushi were good. They were garnished with peppered yuzi The tuna truffle oil maki was nice too! However the maguro aka tuna didn't taste or look fresh. It was an odd dull red colored ... Shrimp temp maki was delicious, nice crunchy texture with asparagus inside! Appetizer: fried fish snacks ( forget the name) but they were great Torched salmon toro sushi came with three nigiri in an order. They were just ok... Ikura and quill egg ... too much rice and not much Ikura!!! Ikura were not marinated so tasted ok... Miso soup was just lukewarm?! The jumbo nigiri set: sweet shrimps and scallops were the better ones! The biggest mistake in this was the rice ratio!!! Tooo much rice and even the sashimi was big ... the ratio is still off!!! Also the sushi rice was not seasoned well and a bit mushy! Service was below average. Staff were friendly. Took us a lot time to place our order although we were the only one there at that time. And took a long time to get notice to pay our bill too. read more

As average as average gets. Completely mediocre food--nigiri, rolls, ramen, everything. You won't hate it, but spending this much money on food this average will cause significant and justifiable disappointment. One of the lower value (quality per cost) meals I've had in my life. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

They have a very big menu catering to both Japanese and Thai food. We arrived about an hour before closing, but managed to order everything we wanted. Also saw a guy come around 9 and they were able to complete his dine in order, kudos! We started with the Uni Shots, very flavorful, but if you don't like salty foods, I'd stay away. Best way to describe is if you took a shot of fish sauce. The Maguro Roll definitely deserves the highlight for being good, but not overpowering in any way. Then I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai as well and omg, this was SALTY, they really went heavy on the sauce, I couldn't finish it. If I were in the area again, I'd definitely stick to the sushi to be safe. read more

Came here one random night with the family. It was a Monday so we didn't expect it to be super busy. We were able to sit on the table we chose and that was good, considering we have kids with us. Food came in a timely manner and the server was nice as well. The area inside wasn't really spacious and I'm assuming it can be tight when it's super busy. Though it was nice and well lit. The food was good. We ordered some sushi, beef fried rice and some karaage chicken with fries. Maybe we'll go back next time when we're around the area read more

Have been here a couple times and really enjoy the Thai and Japanese options they have here. My friends usually get the pad thai or noodles and broths. I usually get the sushi especially the sushi deluxe combo. Service is pretty quick and efficient and the food is really good. The menu is very large and there are a lot of items I'd like to try in the future. I've always made sure to have a reservation as this place gets busy pretty quickly, I have seen some people do walk ins though. read more

Food was fire. Chashu I was nervous would be dry but there was a little sauce at the bottom of the rice that made it well balanced! Sweet potato tempura roll was a little too soggy for me, both the rice and the potato - would've liked at least a little crunch from the tempura. Pineapple fried rice was good when you get a bite of everything but the rice alone could've used slightly more flavor, maybe some sweet or salty to bring out the curry flavor more. But seafood seemed fresh and service was excellent and quick! Ambiance is casual but nice, great date spot :) read more

I've only ever come to Maguro for their late-night menu (available Sunday-Tuesday after 9pm, I believe), and it's honestly one of my favorite late-night spots in Boston. The food is incredibly authentic Thai and the prices are amazing -- nothing better than authentic and affordable. A lot of the dishes feel like perfect drinking foods, which makes it such a fun place to come after a long day of work. The atmosphere is lively and it usually has live music, which makes the whole experience even better. Some of my favorites: * Crab style fried rice with the egg omelet on top * Yum salmon * Fried chicken tendons * Tom yum goong * Lao papaya salad with salted egg I'm honestly drooling just writing this. Every time I come here it's a blast -- great food, great vibes, and great prices. Definitely a late-night gem in Boston. read more

We started off with the Naruto Roll, Yellowtail Carpaccio and the Coconut Soup. The Yellowtail were well cut slices and tasted great with the Ponzu. The Coconut Soup had the perfect Thai flavor expected, and I wouldn't order the Naruto Roll again. It was just kind of bland. For dinner we had a mix of Thai and Sushi. We have the Pad C-U, and Chicken Katsu. The Pad C-U chicken tasted well done, but it was lacking sauce and salt on the rest of the dish.. The Chicken Katsu was a fun new way of serving it, and we enjoyed it. For Sushi we had Salmon, Hamachi and Foie Gras. It was served at a perfect temperature, and the slices were healthy. The Foie Gras was a nice little touch of different and had good flavor. The only comment I will make negatively about the Rolls and also the Sushi, the rice is lacking proper Sushi Rice flavor. It didn't seem to have enough Salt, Sake & Rice Vinegar. We also had the Marugo Roll, Aburi Toro Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Salmon with Scallion Roll. The Marugo and Aburi were a neat twist on rolls and had a good flavor. The Rainbow Roll was lacking a bit of flavor due to the rice, I would suggest using a little soy sauce before eating it, and the Salmon Scallion was decent, but again needs a little more flavor. I would definitely go back, we had a nice time and the food was good. The service was also very nice. The interior decoration is also fun. I would say this should not be called a Thai/Japanese Fusion, but a Thai Restaurant and a Japanese Restaurant occupying one location. read more

Some of the best food I've had in awhile. The only crappy part was the parking situation but that's Boston for ya lol. The service was on point and drinks were filled fast and food came out at a great pace. Inside this restaurant was colorful paintings and decor from Japan . I really enjoyed it.. now let's talk about the food: Fatty Tuna Don: Don't you love when your tuna just melts in your mouth..??? Well let me tell ya this one sure does and well worth it. Huge slices on toro which is the fatty part of the tuna and it's amazing. If you're into it, then be sure to order it. Bluefin tuna Don: This tuna was amazing.. so soft and was really good. Salmon Tower: I enjoyed this appetizer due to the avocado and seaweed salad meshing with the salmon. It was really tasty. Maguro Omakase Set B: This bad boy was the highlight of the night. Comes with 10 pieces of sashimi of otoro which is the fatty tuna that melts in your mouth, akami, 10 pieces of sushi with otoro, 5 pieces of sushi akami, negitoro roll, aburi toro roll and maguro roll. This place rocks and we will definitely be back again. Everything was on point!!! read more

Two summers now I've come regularly on the weekend. Service is efficient. Sushi and sushi adjacent offerings are fresh and well priced. I've paired the yum salmon and the yellowtail carpaccio with other appetizers to good effect, or else had a special roll like the maguro roll. All plenty of food. And the Thai iced coffee is refreshing. Have yet to get the Thai dishes but I'm sure they're great. read more

maguroboston 's Maguro roll was such a highlight giving the best flavor combos of spicy tuna, torch-torched tuna belly, caviar, and a touch of truffle. The Hotate Kaiyaki (grilled scallop) and flamed Izakaya skewers (we had chicken thigh, gizzard, and pork belly) were juicy and full of flavor, and the buttery Gyudon was tender and satisfying Although it wasn't the best I've had, the Tonkotsu Ramen had a nice rich broth and smooth noodles Overall, I recommend this spot if you're looking for a place to satisfy all your Japanese and Thai food cravings all at once in a cool atmosphere with quick service. read more

Really a 2.5, between a 2 for the service and a 3 for the food. Came back a year later, and boy has this place changed--and not for the better. While we were waiting, the original server didn't check on us too much, which we shrugged off since the place was swamped. When it hit the half hour mark, we planned to flag him down, but a few minutes later, a different server came by with some mackerel and soup (neither of which we ordered), apologizing for the wait and saying "it's on the house". Food (5 sushi rolls) came shortly after that. Unfortunately the food was pretty meh--a big surprise, since it had been so fantastic during our visit last year. But that unfortunately wasn't the low of the evening. When the check came out, we saw they had charged for the mackerel that we had not ordered. We thought, honest mistake, we'll just let them know. The first server seemed very confused, but took it off the check. As we were paying the first check, another server came by and dropped off a second check with the mackerel on it. We asked for this to be resolved. The waitress who initially brought the mackerel and said it was on the house was so rude and snapped at me when I tried to explain the situation, snapping that she wanted to talk with the other server. They ultimately took it off, but she was so rude through the whole exchange and never once acknowledged that there might be an error. Would 100% have preferred not to receive the mackerel than to have had to deal with that. Anyways, we have removed this from our favorites list for the quality of food and moreover the service. This place used to be tied with Oppa but that seems to have been short lived... Definitely go to Oppa instead for affordable high quality sushi, or Matsunori for high end hand rolls. Hopefully you can turn it around, Maguro, but I don't think I'll be testing my luck anytime soon. read more

I used to bring my family here after church every Sunday. It was nearby on Coolidge corner, had good seating and family friendly. The food was okay, some Japanese and Thai dishes that were rather mediocre but not inedible. This past visit, we asked for our food to be non-spicy (to give to young children) as usual and the waitress said "OK"; she then read back our order and said "spicy eggplant", and we said no, we need this to be non-spicy. Sure enough, when she brings it out, it is extremely spicy, fine enough for adults but not for the children. We sent it back to the kitchen and she brings it out, now they made a version that was not spicy. That would have been great but she proceeded to give us a whole lecture about how they can't make it non-spicy and we should just not come here if we don't want to eat spicy food. I didn't appreciate that and clearly, she was wrong because they literally just did make it non-spicy. She was right about one thing though, we will never come back. read more

OKAY I came back for the jumbo sushi again and this is A LOT better than what I was served last time. Just compare the 2 photos and the recent photo is a lot more presentable, the fish thicker, and they had sea urchin and salmon belly this time. Now this is something I enjoyed 100% The tako wasabi app is raw octopus in a wasabi sauce, super fresh and a bit spicy. The octopus is a little crunchy and it is an unfamiliar texture to any other fish. The uni ikura don is so decadent and the uni is so fresh! The uni melts in your mouth and it is so delicious. The cooked salmon and egg bowl is incredibly flavorful. The marinade on the salmon is sweet and savoury. The salmon is cooked to perfect, super moist and juicy. This is a great menu item for those who don't enjoy raw fish. The aburi tori roll is interesting. The toro on top is torched so it gives a nice kick of smokey flavor. There is mango inside so there's a mix of smokey, sweet, savory. I came around dinner time and they dimmed the lights so the ambiance was cool and relaxed. It was a busy hour and there were lots of big parties. But overall a very casual and social place. Super happy that I came back again, I have a better impression of them now. read more

3.5 Stars. Solid establishment with an extensive (Japanese + Thai) menu. We got the Naruto appetizer, the Volcano and Blossom Rolls, and the Tonkotsu Ramen. The Naruto appetizer and the Blossom Roll (the highlight of the meal) were both tasty. However, we must have skimmed over the description of the Volcano Roll because we didn't expect it to contain cream cheese. The cream cheese overwhelmed all the other flavors, leading to a very undesirable bite. Also, the ramen was a major letdown. The broth was insipid--it was like eating straight boiled noodles. The only saving grace of the ramen was the chashu, which was salty and flavorful. The atmosphere was also excessively loud when we went read more

Was craving tuna sashimi after coming back from japan and checked out Maguro for lunch. Got the Maguro Don with tuna belly, tuna sashimi, minced tuna belly, etc. and it was delicious! Super fresh fish. Originally wanted the Hokkaido Don but they didn't have uni. Huge menu with thai, japanese, and chinese food - very group friendly. Service was quick and responsive, they accomodate allergies well. Clean and lots of seating. Would come here again! read more

Decided to stop by for lunch and wish I'd done so months ago! Huge menu so you're bound to find something to satisfy any cravings. The ambiance is surprisingly cozy and clean, service is good and food comes out quickly. We opted for the torched salmon roll, spicy tuna and and salmon with avocado rolls. The torched salmon was delicious- couldn't really discern the crab salad and the piece was awkwardly too big to take a bite, but still I would get it again! Spicy tuna wasn't spicy at all, and the salmon with avo was fairly average. I also ordered the Thai iced coffee. I have never had one before nor knew what to expect, but it was way too sweet for my liking and did not energize me like coffee normally does. Regardless, I would definitely return to try some of the more extravagant dishes as so many items caught my eye! read more

Tried this place for the first time recently and it was so good! We got there around 5:30 pm and the restaurant wasn't too crowded so we were able to get seated right away. The menu is extensive ranging from specialty sushi, sushi classics and appetizers, and a lot of really good looking Thai food! We were in the mood for sushi and it didn't disappoint! We were able to order fairly quickly and didn't have to wait long for the food. Maybe 15-20 min. By the time our food was delivered to the table, the restaurant had definitely filled in and nearly every table was occupied. For sushi, my favorite was the scorpion roll! Would definitely order that again. I will say the portions were standard, but definitely a couple rolls are recommended if you're on the hungrier side. The inside of the restaurant is nice! Even with all the tables being filled in, it didn't feel overwhelmingly loud or like the tables were cramped together. The decor is elegant and sets a nice ambiance. read more
