First time trying a lunch special here and it was a great deal! Very basic flavors/rolls, but a filling and delicious meal for $14. Staff is always nice here, very authentic flavors and experience. I took leftovers home from another sushi plate and they were delicious the next morning! read more

Maru was a quiet surprise for us. Only two employees working and two customers but the food spoke for itself. They have a large menu but of course we came for sushi. We shared three rolls and scarfed them down! We got the Dragon Roll, 007, and the Maru Special Roll. They really go heavy with the sauces which we loved!! The Maru Special was a battered roll and it came out hot so be prepared for the warm sushi vibes. Our waitress was super nice and cracked some jokes with us! The place was pretty big and could host some large parties for sure! Overall it was pretty good and a classic sushi spot! Follow us for more sushi reviews on our Collection, The Omaha Sushi Project!

Korean food is almost always underrepresented in most areas. I would happily take a few fewer mediocre Chinese restaurants if it meant a few more Korean restaurants. Until that happens, Omaha can enjoy Maru's strong Korean dishes, while also getting a terrific selection of freshly made sushi rolls. We started with a freshly brewed tea, though there are many other options. The caterpillar roll is substantial with perfectly cooked rice and wonderfully fresh avocado on top. And, look at that cool caterpillar look from the top view. I got the pork bibimbap, which is billed as a 2-pepper spicy level, but it was only mildly spicy. It doesn't normally get served with an egg, but I added one. And...yes, it does what a great bibimbap does so well: it lets you scoop up sizzling rice along with substantial meat and vegetables. There's so much here that I couldn't possibly eat it all. My mom and brother got the traditional (beef) bulgogi and chicken bulgogi, respectively. The seasoning is robust on both, but it really suits the beef better. On the other hand, the beef had a huge oval-shaped bone through every piece. There wasn't much meat left once you cut around it. You will also receive a plate with kimchi, potato, broccoli, and bean sprouts, which helped as an additional mix-in for your dish. The service was fast, and patient considering how long it took us to order. There were so many terrific options on the menu that you could come here several times and get something great every time. read more

I like the Korean food here but we haven't been back in a while. They used to have really good sushi too but it seems the last few times we've tried it, it's been so-so. The ambience is great and the service has always been good. We haven't found amazing Korean food in Omaha but it's worth a try here. read more

This is our second visit! Sushi tastes pretty fresh, the Crab Rangoons are to die for! And the Chicken Bibimbab was really yummy! My husband and I love the food and appetizers here:) read more

This was the place I've been searching for! I was craving sushi and with being new to the area I have been meaning to try Maru. I am so happy I did as everything exceeded my expectations. The pork bulgogi was flavorful in all the right ways. Huge portion of meat and order includes rice, veggies, kimchi & potatoes. I could have filled up on the pork but wanted to try other dishes being a first timer. The chicken Udon was out of this world, another large portion and super tasty. It wasn't overloaded with veggies, good amount of chicken - perfect balance. Crab rangoons were ideally made. I also got three sushi rolls, shrimp tempura, spicy shrimp tempura and spider. After all this is what I was craving, needless to say I got sidetracked by the appealing menu. Sushi was darn good, but not exceptional. The rolls were a little loose and kept falling apart but that didn't impact the fresh flavor, I just felt super white having to eat it with a fork haha. Will I get it it again? Likely. Lastly, I have to say the customer service was top- notch. Kaylee gave a warm welcome upon entering, was very accommodating and even made me laugh a few times. read more

At first, The restaurant seemed a bit sketch to me with the few employees and empty atmosphere, but the food gave me a satiating feeling of home. While the ordering process was lackluster because of the waiter not being fully informed on the menu, The sushi we got was flavorful and seemed fresh, and the pork bulgogi came sizzling on a hot pan. Overall, a decent place with good food :) read more

My son and I stopped on our way through town. We started with calamari and I had the Lion King roll. I'd never seen a roll lit on fire. The roll had so many flavors and textures. The alcohol they used gave the sushi a sweet, smoky depth. For dessert we had tempura green tea icecream. The best icecream I've ever had. read more

My boyfriend and I headed out here for dinner one night when it was almost hitting warmer weather. Year 2020 threw us all in a bind that created a new sense of norm. As more restaurants and retailers began welcoming customers more and relaxing some of the restrictions based on state mandates we decided to actually have a dine in meal somewhere. We both LOVE Korean food, well, almost all food, but Asian food specifically so this place was on the top of our list to dine at. The restaurant is well equipped to handle crowds if need be but on this evening there was one other table occupied and two people waiting for carry out orders via grubhub or door dash. We were seated at the far end of the restaurant next to the wall, a good distance away from the other table allowing for social distancing. The waitress serving us was pleasant and friendly, remembered to fill our waters appropriately and gave us enough time to study the menu. I decided on the grilled mackerel while my boyfriend had the chicken bibimbap bowl. We also had an order of the spicy tuna rolls and ceviche. We loved the spicy tuna rolls, the ceviche was okay. I'm glad we tried it but the winner for the small bites were the rolls and the accompaniments with our main meals. My mackerel was one of those dishes where looks are very much deceiving. It looked underwhelming to me but I was oh so wrong as soon as I took my first bite. The fist was cooked perfectly, no fishy taste or weird toughness. It was tender and the flavors managed to seep in throughout the entire piece of meat. I loved it! My boyfriend's bowl of bibimbap was steaming with heat and a huge portion for one person. He also loved his bowl! He loved it so much he order the same thing as a to go order a few weeks later!! I'm so glad this restaurant is still going strong. They have a variety of menu items offered and know exactly what they're doing in preparing a wonderful Asian meal. Thank you so much! read more

A true gem in La Vista for Korean BBQ. I highly recommend the crab rangoons. They were fresh, flavorful, and bursting with a delicious filling. For an entree I got the Dolsot Bibimbab and wow was it the right call. Full of flavor and rich with delicious beef, vegetables, and rice in a hot stone bowl. The restaurant was near empty when we arrived and plenty of room for a group. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and gave great recommendations for the full menu of options. Give this place a shot it doesn't disappoint read more

Loved this place! Get the Lion King. Trust me. It's delish. All three kids raved over the Beef Bulgogi and my teen said the Kimchi soup was the best she had ever had. I would also like to add that I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the entire restaurant and our waiter was very welcoming and attentive. read more

I ordered the mackerel with rice and four veggies on the side. I loved it. Everything else that was ordered by my family was okay. Will probably take my family back one more time to try it. Service was okay. We were the only ones there and it seemed like we had to grab the attention of the server a few times. Ambiance was nice. read more

We're local and this is one of our go-to restaurants. The food is great and the service is, too. I get cravings for their kimchi and beef bulgogi. We usually order carry-out but enjoy going for a sit-down meal, as well. read more

I've lived in the area for many years and never thought about trying Maru Sushi. To be honest I was never sure if it was actually open for business. A coworker and I stoped in for a lunch one day I was pleasantly surprised. The service was quick, food was great, and prices seemed reasonable. read more

Strategically concealed between an unassuming Mexican restaurant and a cigar store, a tantalizing display of what's possible with flavor, lies behind 2 swinging glass doors. Greeted by a waitstaff that will eventually know you by name, you will find yourself seated in an environment that will only be out done by the cuisine. In years to come, you'll find yourself reminiscing on the day you first had their Pork Bibimbab. "...and the sushi? How did they pull that off?"-you'll think to yourself. Join the rest of us who have enhanced our, all-to-brief, human experience by dining at the Maru Sushi Korean Grill. Seize the day. read more

Great sushi and service. Love the rolls especially! We go there whenever we are I the area.

Our first experience with Korean food! Yummy. Service was awesome. Daughter and I had traditional bibimbap and hubby had beef bibimbap. It's served in a hot stone bowl and stays sizzling for a long time. Rice is on the bottom. Ours was spicier than just beef. Son-in-law had sushi. We started with edamame and calamari, which were tasty. Items tasted fresh and flavorful. Beef was tender. We were the only non-Asians in the restaurant. Decor is nice. We'll be back. read more

Excellent food, excellent service! We stopped in after a long day of travel. Tired and hungry we had a hard time deciding between Korean or Sushi so decided on both and our food was delicious. Would highly recommend. read more

Updating my review: used to be my absolute favorite place to go but its totally different now. My cousin and I went because I was raving about it and we were both disappointed with our meals. BUT the crab Rangoon were delicious. The atmosphere could have definitely used some background music - it was just too quiet where it was awkward and hearing everyone's conversations, and the service could have been better but overall nice staff. The price was absolutely crazy definitely not at all in proportion to the food quantity and quality. read more

I have been coming to Maru for years and the chicken bibimbap here remains the best in the country in my humble opinion. Some may find it a bit salty (it is kimchi duh) but I suspect many will find it to be a hidden treasure here in Omaha. read more

I wish photos had sound because this symphony of sizzling meat and rice is music. The classic Dolsot BiBimBap is perfectly spicy with a bouquet of textures to keep you coming back for another bite. You will be tempted to fill up on their amazing sides but make sure you leave room for a roll or two. One of the best parts is the huge portion means I got to eat this two days in a row! read more

Loved Maru Sushi. After visiting 8 states, and on our last night before hitting Colorado, we were lucky to dine here. Service was excellent and food was awesome. Tempura, Korean barbecue short ribs, and Tokyo sushi was excellent. I usually order sake, but after a 7 hour road trip, my husband and I decided on a dirty martini and manhattan, not bad, chilled and perfect blend. Kids loved their food and we left happy and beyond satisfied with our experience! Ambiance was great! read more

Walked into the restaurant and the two people jumped out of their seats to greet us. The server then went back to the table she was sitting at and continued to roll her silverware. We waited about ten minutes before she asked us if we wanted anything to drink. After bringing our water she took our appetizer order but I forgot to ask for calamari as she was running back to the table to answer her phone. I tried to get her attention to let her know and she told me to wait she will be back. She answered her phone and walked to the back while she was laughing and carrying on a conversation on the phone. This is completely unprofessional and I will never return and make sure I inform anyone who is contemplating going to this restaurant that the service is pathetic. We waited about ten minutes after she went to the back to leave. read more

Great Food and very friendly service! Recommend the beef bulgogi with rice and the chicken karage with a Sapporo Beer!!!

I was pleasantly surprised by Maru. I saw the mix of Japanese and Korean and wondered if they would be able to pull it off (it is Omaha after all) but I really enjoyed the dish I ordered. I got the pork bulgogi, which was basically a spicy stir fry served with steamed white rice. The flavor profile was fantastic...ginger, sesame, and the right amount of heat. The pork was tender and juicy. The dish also came with a few cold "side dishes" which were small dishes of pickled vegetables, kimchi, sweet potatoes, etc. most of these were pretty tasty, and was nice to have another temperature. The atmosphere was comfortable and modern. Our waiter was polite but very quiet. I am intrigued by some of the other items on their menu and will be back to try them! read more

Bulgogi and Bibimbap and Banchan, Oh My! Maru has been on my "to try" list for probably well over a year now, and finally we end up near enough and hungry enough to get there and fill my belly. Clearly I was very happy with the results. We were the only diners in the place when we arrived around 8pm, but a couple other tables filled in as the evening wore on. We were treated to a TV in the corner of the bar playing some kind of WWE wresting (which I'm slightly embarrassed to say I couldn't take my eyes off of for some reason), and a gigantic picture of rocks, which had a nice calming effect. As you'd expect we had really great service and all of the food came out H-O-T. Maybe it was the fact that its been a while since I've actually had Korean food, but wow! The crunchy rice, the spicy potatoes, the fried pot stickers, and obviously the kimchi. Wow wow wow. When can I come back? The Bibimbap I ordered, "A large granite stone bowl of Korean short grained rice topped with refreshing Korean garden vegetable side dishes," was topped off with pork-bulgogi. But next time I'm kicking it up a notch with a fried egg too! Ooooh, I can't wait. The only challenge for me, and this is by no means a disadvantage, is that the food was almost TOO hot. Not spicy... temperature. Apparently I prefer my meals just hot, not 'piping hot and continuing to cook at the table.' Though I was pretty delighted by the sizzling of the sesame oil as it crisped up the rice to perfection... like it was telling me naughty food secrets... The Mandoo were good too (we opted for these as a more 'traditional' starter, since I'd never had them... but I did, and still do, have my eye on the avocado boat. If they execute all their food here as well as the items we tried, Maru will pretty quickly climb my favorites list for sure. read more

I usually only eat Korean Bbq but when I looked at the reviews while eating here last time and saw recommendations for the bibimbab I decided I was going to have to come again to try it. I'm so glad I did! I had the pork bulgogi bibimbab and I loved it! It was spiced just right. I will be back again or at least try another dish for delivery next time I'm feeling lazy. read more

Very fresh, great staff and the restaurant was very clean. I will definitely go again for more salmon nigiri.

We don't drive through Omaha very often but when we do we always try to have lunch here at Maru Sushi and Korean Grill. After our first visit for lunch we were hooked. Much as I want to explore the menu, I had to order the Beef Bulgogi again, just because. It came with traditional Korean sides: marinated bean sprouts, spicy pickles, and potatoes with hot peppers. My wife ordered the Hoi-Dup Bab Korean fusion lunch special; basically a bowl of sashimi and vegetables with a sweet chili sauce. Everything showed up in a few quick minutes and we were having a delicious lunch. About ten minutes after I ate potatoes and peppers, my mouth started the road to recovery. One of the best Bulgogi dishes I've ever had. My wife was very happy with her choice as well. Last time she had the Bibimbab that was also excellent. Next time I will try harder to explore the menu. Well worth the stop. read more

This place has a number of Korean dishes along with a variety of sushi rolls.

I tried this place for the first time and was disappointed by the lack of attention I received. When I arrived, the restaurant was empty and the staff could see I was waiting to be seated. However, it was only after a second customer showed up about 10 minutes later that they finally acknowledged my presence. I will not be going back to this place. I hope this was an isolated incident and that they treat all customers with respect. read more
