    Top - Dragon Roll Left - 007 Roll Right - Maru Special Roll
    Jen R.

    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.

    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:)

    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.

    Definitely one of the better Korean restaurants here in town. The food is very authentic and well prepared. The staff was very attentive and very kind. The place is very very clean and very warming decor. They're Bulgogi special was very traditional Korean style, and the taste was very very nice

    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 :)

    Spicy tuna & Ceviche
    Ka'ili H.

    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!

    Dolsot Bibimbab
    Mitch S.

    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

    Beef bibimbap.
    Mary P.

    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.

    The Chicken Bibimbab here is absolutely amazing.  I've been coming here for years and it's always terrific!

    This place is so gross now and it's depressing. I LOVED this place back when the stern older Korean…read morelady was running it. The food was always fresh no matter what time of day you showed up, and it was consistently yummy. This place got me through the 1st trimester of my pregnancy in 2019. For some reason I forgot to upload my photos, but I think you can see from my photos the differences too! We went here all the time living in Bellevue. Skip forward to 2025 and I drove across town to here here again craving some good Korean food. Oh how sad I was. The newer photos are from August 2025. I arrived at the end of what should have been the lunch rush but the food was obviously old. Not to mention basically cold. The only truly hot thing was the crab rangoon I got instead of an egg roll (my request). The food is no longer good. Apparently the older lady retired and sold to someone else. They claim to be using the same recipes, but it doesn't taste the same. Everything seems more sugar and bland at the same time. The sesame potatoes, which were my favorite thing here, are gross now. The cucumber kimchi is SWEET. It isn't supposed to be sweet y'all. Everything seems extra "Americanized" now. The portions are still huge, but the price now matches it. There are better and more authentic Korean restaurants in Omaha than this place now. Hard pass. I hope she's enjoying her retirement at least; she earned it!

I asked the server what dish had the most vegetables. She said bibimbap so that's what I ordered. Big Bro ordered chicken gangjeong. We received a tray with little dishes of finger food as an appetizer. Bean sprouts, broccoli, potatoes, and yams were some of the offerings. The bibimbap was served in a bowl with rice at the bottom some chopped beef, spinach, bean sprouts, cabbage, and carrots around the sides of the bowl with a fried egg in the middle. A sauce in a ketchup-style squeeze container came with it. It looked like ketchup so I decided not to try it. I wasn't thrilled with the spinach, but the rest was good and filled my request for veggies. It was a different taste experience and a nice change. Big Bro's turned out to be fried chicken nuggets with barbecue sauce. He said it was so-so, not something he would probably get again. The server brought us complimentary desert which she explained looked like ice cream but wasn't. It was frozen Greek yogurt mixed with tangerine. It was lovely and a nice surprise. Service was quick and the menu is large so there's plenty to try on a next visit.

Never soggy chips, doused in beans, protein (if you choose), cheese, sour cream, and so so good. Much smaller portion the Benson local and that's perfect for us.
