Lunch visit. We each ordered chicken Lunch Box B. Seemed like an unadventurous order, but safe. We needn't have worried. Each bite was delicious! A small bowl of edamame along with tea was delivered as we were reading the menu. Chicken Teriyaki was tender, flavourful settled a bed of very thinly sliced vegetables - so tasty. Tempura consisted of a bean and 3 shrimp! Noodle salad with a large prawn atop was served in the Lunchbox - Miso soup before the box arrived. Everything flavoured well. A fine meal very well priced. We'll be back! read more

It's a long overdue review of this great Japanese restaurant with fresh sashimi being served. The amount of quality food they provide was delightful. The friendly Korean servers are always attentive. The private booth would make a perfect place for a date night meal. read more

my family and i have been eating here for years and years now, it is the only place we get our sushi! ^_^ their food comes out phenomenal every single time, whether we're in the cozy booths or ordering takeout for home. Ever since ive moved away ive been missing my Maru sushi. :') read more

Tried out this restaurant with my family after a visit to Driedger Farms for some blueberry picking and really enjoyed the well priced lunch specials and sushi rolls! First we ordered a sushi and sashimi box which came with a large portion of fresh sashimi, 4 pieces of nigiri, prawn tempura, gyoza and chicken teriyaki. We changed it to beef teriyaki for $1 and even though the box came to around $18, I think it was worth it for the quality of food! The sashimi was all very nicely cut, smooth and flavourful. The beef was not fatty or overly sauced and the tempura was a generous portion of prawn rather than just veggies. We were also presented with complimentary edamame for the entire table! Next, we got their Baked Salmon Roll and Agedashi Tofu Lunch special. This was again, a great deal because the roll itself cost $11.95 so we got an agedashi tofu for only 2 dollars! The tofu was really hot when it came to the table but so soft in a delicious sweet sauce. The roll was a surprise as it was topped with baked salmon AND cheese. I am not a fan of cheese so this ate a little heavy for me BUT my parents really liked the interesting combination and honestly, it kind of worked! The roll was filled with imitation crab meat and the rice layer was nice and thin. Last, we got a chopped scallop roll and it was simple but wonderfully done! With large scallop pieces, well flavoured rice and a good rice to filling portion, I really enjoyed this roll! Overall, we really enjoyed this meal and the service was also extremely sweet! read more

Best sushi in Langley. Love their special rolls! They are huge and a great price. Family owned small business. I love the authentic Japanese decor and the comfortable privacy of the many private booth-rooms. read more

It was a cold night and I wanted something soupy. I ordered the nabeyaki udon. It was ok though the broth was way too salty that I could not drink it. The prawns and mussel (only 1) and chicken were very salty too as they soaked up the broth. I left half the udon behind as it just got to me. Lucky I was not very hungry that night otherwise I would still be hangry. The other astounding thing was the entire restaurant has only 1-2 soup spoon?!? I went to ask for the spoon and was told that. They gave me a metal regular spoon before finding a soup spoon in the kitchen. Service was ok. The place looked nice though with booths which were quite private and quiet. I will not come here again. Not my first choice if I'm in Langley. read more

My friend C and I were looking for food in Langley and we came across Maru Japanese Restaurant while searching on Yelp. We went on Boxing day and we were wise to call to make sure that they were open. When we arrived the restaurant was pretty empty. We were one of the 3 tables being occupied. I like the interior decor here. They have have separated booth seats. Very traditional Japanese design. The place is ran by Korean. I guess sushi for Langley standard was not bad. I ordered the Unagi bowl and I was hoping it to be a lot more tastier. The Unagi bowl came with miso soup. The miso soup was a bit salty. The unagi was very thinly sliced and carefully placed on top of a lot of rice. Portion size was small. Well lots of rice and very thinly sliced unagi. The bowl costed $13.95. Flavor was slightly lacking too. The tea here was pretty good. Good thing that there was free working wifi and free parking just outside the restaurant. Note that the prices here are definitely pricier but food quality was slightly lacking based on the price. Service was not great either. Probably because my friend and I were sitting in a booth and it was hard for the servers to notice us. Also the 2 servers working that night were too busy talking to the sushi chef. Another thing I found hilarious was that when my friend asked for a spoon, the server told her that the whole restaurant only had 1 spoon and I already got the one. But later they came back with a metal spoon. Guess they only had one metal spoon and one plastic spoon (which I was already using). I am not sure if I would go back. Definitely not my first choice for dinner. read more

Food was great! Service was good. Could have come around a little more to check on people. Great atmosphere!

I ordered a ramen and I'd give it a decent 7/10. Their was a lot of bean sprouts which reminded me of a pho bowl. The bowl is missing something to make it taste and look a lot better - like those squiggly little toppings found in some ramen bowls. But it is located in a small town of Langley, so they should find some way to attract more customers. Maybe offer more variety of ramen bowls instead of just chicken. I received a complimentary salad bento which was decent. That counts as extra points for the restaurant. When we were served water, they should have offered straws, but they didn't. I believe that complimentary straw is a common courtesy. Offer mints, or toothpicks, and make it clear that we should pay for our check up front. We were not sure and waited at the table. read more

WOW just WOW!!! I ordered the Ginger Beef Szechuan hoping it will fill me up as I was quite hungry. Well, I was blown away! The meat pieces were huge, the vegetables great, the taste delicious. Literally nothing negative I can say about it. It was so freaking awesome!!! Definitely be ordering from you again soon!!! I will recommend your restaurant to my staff at work as a lot of them were asking where I ordered it from. Thank you for the great meal!!! read more

The Spicy Tuna shashimi with ponzu sauce is now the best in town and the prices stay down. Used to have beef tataki but she gone now. read more

We shared a party sushi for four people and an order of assorted tempura. We received a complimentary bowl of miso soup and some edamame for each person. That was a nice gesture as we waited for our food to arrive. The sushi was well made and we enjoyed some wild salmon nigiri. The sushi selection was good. We were able to try a variety of items including some spicy rolls. The tempura was perfectly fried and we received two bowls of the tempura dipping sauce. Overall, service was good. Our server checked up on us regularly to refill water. Food arrived fairly quickly. This is a good Japanese food option in Langley. The seafood was fresh and good service. There was more than enough food to feed four adults. read more

Maru has done renovations and it looks fabulous with the new darker color scheme going on. The new booths are an added touch with them being a lot more stable as the old ones were flimsy. I have to get on my hobby horse for a minute: The dine in rolls are bigger than the take out rolls. Ok, I'm good now. There is a large booth in the back for 10+ people and you can leave your shoes on and outer booths that can hold four people that kind of have a private feel to them but at times it seems like the servers forget about you at times but hey, it does get pretty busy here at times. Like my brother says the menu is very large and they have a great assortment of specialty rolls like the "Crunch Roll" (California roll with tempura bits and mildly spicy sauce) Dragon Roll, Hot Night Roll, and my fave (just for the name) Sexy Lady Roll. I recommend everything here as all of the choices are delicious, some of my picks include - deep fried California roll - yam roll - BC roll (best crispy salmon skin ever) read more

Awesome place to go for sushi! Everything was freshly made and the spicy salmon roll was probably the best I'd ever had. The seating they have here is so cute, too! I love the little semi-hidden booths. It would be cute for a date night, for sure. Prices seem reasonable, compared to what I'm used to in Seattle. read more

Lunch box is always fresh and tasty, great price and free miso soup & edamame beans free as well!!!!

This was one of the first sushi places I went to with my family just because it was across our church. I was kind of skeptical at first because its surrounding buildings were all abandoned. Man, I was really surprised when I first went inside. It was so pretty and it had little booths. The sushi rolls are awesome (BC rolls) but what really made me love the place was their sashimi. I got the 6 piece tuna sashimi and even if it was a bit hard and cold at the center but it was very flavorful. I always hate it when I order sashimi at other restaurants but they give me nigiri but this place knows what's up. The service is always great there, no doubt. The staff are very knowledgeable of the menu and will help you out if you're craving a type of food. I make sure I come here every once in a while whenever my parents have choir practice across the street and they never disappoint. read more

Excellent sushi. Priced really well for what you get. We were shocked at how fast our 6 rolls showed up. We had just enough time to have some miso soup and everything was ready and presented at the table. Definitely would recommend this to others. read more

Nice presentation and assortment on 20 piece Sashimi plate. Will definitely return Miso soup and starter salad was basic fare. I'll skip these next time and go for a larger Sashimi plate read more

Maru Japanese Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Langley, British Columbia

This is one of the great sushi places in Langley. The atmosphere is nice. There are some booths in the middle which are separated by short walls for privacy. Around the perimeter are several private rooms. I like that the private rooms have normal tables. No need walk on the seats and crawl under the table like more traditional sushi houses. There are two larger rooms at the back which can fit about 10 people each. One of them has the awkward "sitting in the floor" setup. The menu is quite large. They have many special rolls. I especially like their dragon roll. They really pile on the bbq eel! At $10 it's a good price because one roll will fill you up. When I'm feeling less rich I get the BC roll. I argue that it's the best in metro vancouver. The pieces of salmon skin are huge. Also in the roll is yam, and spring onion tempura. The sauce on it is a nice blend of sweet and salty. Nigiri ranges from $1.25 and up. Competitively priced with a large portion of fish. I don't order sashimi very often here (because I'm cheap) so I can't speak about it. Bento boxes start at $9.95 at lunch and go upwards to $15 for the fancier ones. Today I have Bento B. Included is salad, miso soup, 3 prawn tempura, 3 green bean tempura, ebi sunomono (with a large prawn) rice, 4 piece california roll, teriyaki chicken served on veggies. Within the last year or so they updated the boxes. The sauce has been greatly improved. Portions are also larger. My friend ordered the veggie bento box. Included was tofu teriyaki, 6 piece veggie tempura, kappa roll, salad, miso soup, rice. It was a mountain of food. Some of my friends have complained about the service but I've had a great experience every time. I used to go here 3 times week. The sushi market in Langley is very competitive. Maru hold its own against all the rest. You will not be disappointed. read more

I have been going to Maru for 5 years now and the quality has never faltered. This is arguably the best sushi in Langley! My favourite rolls are in the Special Rolls part of the menu. I especially love the Hot Night Roll. So Delicious! Enjoy! read more

Went here because it had such high reviews and comments from other yelp reviewers. Wow we were so disappointment in this place. We got sat in a booth and it was so uncomfortable. The bench seat is so far away from the table and the cushions are paper thin. I got the agedashi tofu and it was the worst one I have ever had and that's what I always get. The pieces of tofu were huge and so it got super soggy instantly. The flavour was nice but was it was executed so poorly. I also got the vegetable roll. Urgh they put the seaweed/spinach salad mix inside, making it super chewy. The service was nice, when it was there (which was hardly there) They didn't fill up our tea nor check on how our food was. We left as soon as we could. I would not recommend this place at all. There are definitely higher quality places in the lower mainland. read more

Small quaint little restaurant with about 5 booths and 5 tables, clean and friendly. Food was excellent and the service was wonderful. Tried the chicken teriyaki and wow it was soooo filling and such a huge portion for under $12 (ended up with leftovers!) Atmosphere was very nice, aldergrove doesnt have many places to begin with, and there have been times I have walked in and walked right out because it just wasn't clean! read more

Langley is truly a place full of surprisingly good food. Maru is one of those good surprises! The appetizers were good. Fresh gomae! Brandi had broccoli salad which I haven't tried before and it was really tasty. We didn't eat much. Tuna sashimi, Hot night roll, a bit of toro nigiri. All really good! The service was good, and it was the middle of the afternoon so no reservation necessary. Anyway, we would go back which is always the best review. Mind blown no but great sushi! read more

I am absolutely astonished with the Owner's behaviour this evening. I ordered sushi last night for dinner (Sunday, May 16th, 2021), never ever having a problem with Maru before; however, I spent over an hour in my bathroom and laying on my tiles because I couldn't stop vomiting up portions of seaweed and fish. NOT ONLY was the phone call to the restaurant brushed off, but then the OWNER called me and asked me that 1) she heard I had an upset stomach... an upset stomach and Nausea/Fever/Vomiting/Abdominal Cramps and Physical fatigue are two different stories you ignorant wretch. 2) the Chef yelled profanities through the phone ("Why don't you just fucking stop").... like was I suppose to stop vomiting or I'm not sure I understood what that entails... and they pretended like nothing happened. 3) SHE TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE. Yes, it is absolutely logical that the banana and a protein shake this morning account for smells of rotten fish (not to mention the literal, physical presence of it..), again, you ignorant wretch. LASTY. They brushed it off as if it was not a problem, didn't make a report, and told me to bring a doctors note.. I've worked in hospitality for 14 years and NEVER in my life have I mistreated any single person who gave our business it's fucking business. I called them and said I have never had a problem with them before. Those were the first words out of my mouth. I had nothing to say except the fact is Maru food got me sick, so thank you for showing me today the problem is with the owner and her ignorant attitude toward business ownership and diminishing a fucking health problem as if it's nothing. Absolutely appalled with this type of behaviour especially from someone who claims some position of authority. read more

Miso soup did not have any spring onions or tofu in it. Sushi was cut with a band saw. Food tasted plain and visual lacked creativity. Waitress got the order wrong and had to come back to correct which did not fill me with confidence. From looking at other guests, felt like a soup kitchen with low standards. Not going here again. read more

I've been going to Maru Sushi in Langley with my partner for the past 4 years and we were fortunate to have one of our favourite sushi restaurants so close to home.

I had lunch here twice this week. I really like the food and the staff. very friendly and welcoming. I had salmon and sushi. most enjoyable indeed read more

I was welcomed with a *very* friendly greeting. Spacious inside, a little on the darker side but nice atmosphere. I got the lunch special $13.95 and I got a special roll, miso soup, agedashi tofu, tea of course, and they threw in some edamame too. My food started being brought to me after about 5 minutes, and all was delicious! Agedashi tofu is hit o miss for me, and it was excellent. The "hot night" roll was awesome with just the right amount of spice. read more

Oh no - Maru what happened?! We are regulars at this restaurant, we visit every couple of weeks. A couple of weeks ago, we visited and noticed that none of the usual staff were there and the rolls a bit below standard. We chalked it up to it being a Wednesday, perhaps they had new people working in the kitchen. Today we went back and were told that the restaurant is under new ownership with new chefs. Unfortunately, you can tell :( The rolls are not as refined as before, heavy on the filler crab and light on the avocado for example. Dang! Will have to search for a new spot, or find where the chefs went to! read more

This is the best sushi I tried in my life. We are spoiled customers because we tried a lot of places in Brooklyn NY, Miami FL, Los Angeles, SAN Francisco, SAN Diego CA. But this is absolutely BEST BEST BEST. Fish is very fresh and it's looks like hand picked from local markets. Also the way they served it's some kind of art. When all order was served owner by her self comes to every customer greed him and asks if everything taste good. It's very professional and impressive. Strongly recommend this place, will definitely come back despite we live in Miami Florida. read more
