In area for the weekend and spotted this on my drive. Stopped for a Sunday lunch and decided to do the AYCE option. Sat at sushi bar, service was great. Chef recommend some items. Food came at food rate and got to choose wide variety of items. Very happy with service, quality of food and value. Would definitely come back and recommend. read more

We've tried a lot of sushi places around the IE and this is definitely among the best. We love everything we've tried from here. The veggie tempura roll, spicy tuna, sashimi, crunch roll. It all arrived timely and tasted fresh. The portion sizes are generous. It never disappoints. Would highly recommend this place. read more

Mediocre sushi, and they will have you eat all your sushi before you get the bill and charge you 14/ roll. Just be aware before ordering. Better going to Takumi down the street, more options and better fish read more

So good! So happy this place is right down the street from me! I ordered their lunch special with 3 items and the Vegas roll! read more

Maru Sushi - Vegas roll!! So good! - Japanese Near Me - Upland, California

We were tired of the AYCE sushi spots in Rancho and decided to branch out. Found out they just opened and decided to give it a try. We figured since the newer the place the fresher the seafood. Upon arrival we decided to scope out the place from a far before deciding to dine in. We requested sushi bar since a big portion of it looked to be available, but the lady told us no because that's where the sushi chefs place out the food that was ready to be served, but upon observation that's not what they were doing. OH WELL. There were about 6 other parties dining aside from us. Started off with oysters on a half shell. Disappointed they didn't serve or offer lemon, so I had to add soy with a hint of wasabi for some acidity and heat. Their Nigiri sushi was good, but their baked rolls are overly drenched with mayo and unagi. Yuck, a reason why I usually never order these but to each their own, right? Our FAVORITES were the SEARED CAJUN SALMON, and SEARED CAJUN TUNA (my personal favorite of the 2). The gentlemen that was helping us seemed to be more attentive, however no one bothered to refill my hot water for me w/o having to ask. Our meal total along with one YELP $2 off check-in plus we ordered 1 Asahi was around $53 and some change. I believe it's $23.95/person for Dinner. Not sure what it was but my stomach started to have the bubble guts on the way home. Thought it was just gas, but the results were otherwise :( read more

So hear me out, I know that prices on EVERYTHING has gone up and I do not mind paying for it if the food and the service is great. I came here because I started coming here after another AYCE place stop doing the AYCE sushi during COVID. The price for all you can eat is $36.99 for lunch and dinner (most places have a lunch and a dinner price.) Today I came in at 11:00 am with the rain and I was the only customer there.... The food came and started good, then I got the oysters and they weren't as cold as I like them to be, the sushi pieces above the rolls were super small and looks and taste like the quality has been going downhill. The ambiance is good, but sucks when the owner who was my server as she gave me my check, she asked me; oh you didn't have breakfast today? Like judging me on how much I ordered, yeah I ordered a lot, and I ate it all! If you are going to provide expensive AYCE prices don't complain about how much I ate, I paid for it and. I will not be coming back again, sucks but I do not like that ! Don't judge me for ordering from AYCE if I didn't waste food, that's rude ! read more

Decent sushi...surprisingly very good miso soup. But for 2 rolls and 1 miso soup no drinks and being over $35 is not worth coming back to. The place was clean friends staff...only weird thing was after you order your sushi they ask you if you want ginger and Wasabi. Never had to be asked for it...it's always just there. read more

Food was amazing earlier this year and I was excited to see they were finally open for dine-in. I call ahead guy says yes open for dine-in till 9. I show up around 7 and write my name down on the paper as the host walks over to the stand. I'm waiting outside 20 minutes when a guy walks in and back out yelling this is ridiculous just so you guys know I've been waiting an hour and they just told me it's gonna be another 40 mins. I go inside to ask for an ETA since most people left and the host says sorry we're not taking any more dine-in. He saw me put my name down and didn't disclosed they weren't taking anymore people. I said but you saw me write my name down and he just shrugged. He didn't care that I was wasting my time standing outside and worse he was unapologetic. Guess I gotta find a new sushi place read more

Best sushi in upland. We always go here for birthdays and celebrations! Thank you!!!!

Delicious and great the cooks here are pretty outstanding, with pressure of all the waves coming in. Order after order, these chefs are amazingly skilled at their task management without error. The only thing you'll take away from here is the guilt of having to leave this place. I'll be back for more and with friends. Highly recommended read more

This place is very nice, super chill, came here for dinner with a couple of friends. And was amazed by everything. Parking was easy its in the parking lot of Marshall and CVS, so parking shouldn't be an issue. When I went they played nice chill music nothing update just nice chill atmosphere. Service was amazing, got sat immediately and our waitress was super helpful and nice. When we got sat our waiter explain the AYCE menu to us and told us about their Happy Hour for their Sake Bomb, only $1 for a one which is amazing! They were really nice offered us a couple favorites of their like the Philadelphia Roll. After we wrote down our order our server took our order and food just started coming out one by one. Super fast and super filling. Great service they would come check up on us frequently asking if we needed anything else and refilled drinks without even having to ask. Service was above par in my opinion. The fish was amazing, taste wise there are some better than other. Personally for rolls the Philadelphia Rolls was excellent the cream cheese in it made that pop! Hand rolls you cant go wrong with the spider hand roll, that was probably my favorite spider hand roll I had in a while. The sashimi was amazing too, for one rice to fish ratio was great a small good amount of rice, but a large piece of fish to compliment it. We started with salmon and tuna sashimi amazing great flavor in it. They also have dessert! Free ice cream for all you can eat! Overall this place experience was amazing 5 stars for sure. I would return again just for the great sushi!! read more

I always love to eat late at night every now and then. I called several places to order sushi but everyone was already closing and nobody wanted to take my order, I called Maru sushi and at first they couldn't take my order but then someone in the back I think asked what I needed. And then the person who answer the phone said she will take my order. I was so happy! And THEY ARE SO GOOD! Thank you! Excellent service ! read more

I have come to this place for years and now they raised their lunch AYCE FROM $26 to $35. Which is bad enough but they also took items off the AYCE menu so no you get less for more. I was there yesterday, and I'm sorry to say I won't be going back. And based on how empty it was, I'm not the only one. I do want to be fair, the waitress was very kind and so was the sushi chef. I just can't justify spending that much for lunch. read more

Don't ordered cajun seared salmon. It's horrible.Seriously, how can it be so bad that the salmon taste is gone? I tried looking at some of yelp reviews and picture and it looks different than ours. Seems like they don't sear it enough. Other than that, everything else tasted ok. John is by far my favorite. For those who is concern about the fish/rice proportion .. it is a lot rice. Taste 2.5/5 Service 4/5 Price reasonable for AYCE read more

Maru Sushi - Is this sear or raw ? - Japanese Near Me - Upland, California

I absolutely loved this place Pre-Covid and I can't believe how terrible it is now. I had to ask for utensils, napkins and had to repeat order 3 times. I am very sensitive to staffing issues post Covid but this was CRAZY!! I'm addition I only ordered sashimi and edamame......$49.00 bucks. I passed 3 good sushi bars to get there and I should have known by how bad the vibe was so that's my bad!!' read more

This place is amazing. Cajun salmon and Cajun tuna sushi (nigiri) are both "must try's" and seriously ON POINT. The servers are really nice and there was no wait when I went for dinner. The fish to rice ratio is really good for nigiri. Aside from nigiri, we also had some rolls: Asahi: BOMB Vegas: BOMBDOTCOM Diablo: BOMBDIGGITYDOTCOM I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting some good sushi. Great vibes, good music, delicious food. read more

Worst customer service ever, they listed their lunch price for all you can eat 21.99 we ordered the check and we were surprised that they charged us 29.99 and when we asked the owner " Sarah" she said that some of the employees were not working, that's why they have to change their price without notifying us, I told her that other places are not doing that, her answer was " NEXT TIME GO TO ANOTHER RESTAURANT ", that was my first and last visit to this place and I will never go back again. read more

This place is a hit or miss. Sometimes the food and service is great and sometimes it isn't. I would say I'm a regular here and I've never had the same server twice. Super disappointed when I came in today. Waited at least 30 minutes between rounds for the server to pick up my order for the next round. Super inattentive service today. read more

Darwin, props to you! Thanks for the great experience! Now, on to the food... Food was yummy! Good portions and flavors on the rolls are not overwhelming; actually enjoyable to consume. For the sashimi, I liked how there was a small amount of rice portion to the fish. Don't forget to go when it's happy hour; $1 sake bombs and beer!! Ambience was relaxing, we came around 2pm on Sunday, so it was not packed. Plus they played finding dory; which I thought was funny considering we were eating fish. read more

First time here with my wife all you can eat $36 a person. Sushi at mediocre at best. Cuts of fish are thin with it a lot of RICE. We had baked mussels we couldnt finish it to hard. At the end of meal we had 3 1/2 pieces of sushi left over, waiter charged us a " penalty" of $1 a piece. Which is ridiculous! First time and last time don't waste your time or money coming here. Go down the street sushi Martini or one-stop sushi for all you can eat. read more

Very nice sushi restaurant tucked away on foothill. Very clean, friendly waitress, and great food. Our waitress Andrea was kind and very helpful. We were there just as it opened and couldnt be happier with the results. We got to sit wherever we wanted and the service was quick. The rolls came out looking amazing and after 2 rounds had us very full and satisfied. We couldnt ask for a better experience from Maru Sushi, they met our expectations and then some. read more

I was skeptical of this place at first because where it was located, the location is in sort of a bank, pharmacy and other food places around. Although, interestingly enough the inside was quiet welcoming. The AYCE menu is extremely extensive and their are even non rice dishes but don't let that fool you the portions are extremely huge. I would suggest to order the spicy items first like spicy crab or tuna - I never complain about spicy food but it was too spicy for me and by the time we had realized it was towards the end of our food and we couldn't cancel. I am sure we were able to but sometimes people are just damn shy and wont say anything - I didn't want the owner to think we were tapping out, well we were but the spiciness made it worse. Nonetheless, it got very busy during our stay. I would check this place out if you're in the I.E read more

Ok so we are regulars here. We were coming once a week for a few months. This location is not local for us so it's a big deal that we would travel here. With that said, we had the worst sushi experience. My something in my sashimi was so hard it hit the roof of my mouth and it felt like a cut. No idea how that even happened. On top of that it was not fresh. We also ordered some cut rolls and the first thing we noticed is the rice. It was unevenly cooked some parts hard and uncooked others were ok. My shrimp boat had something hard in it as well. Everything was also did not look presentable. Rolls were brought out all messed up, extremely large pieces. On average my husband and i can eat up to 10 rolls together, we ordered 4 and all of which were not decently made. ** Let me just add here that the pictures posted look nothing like what i was served today. It was thick with gross rice and thick pieces of avocado. I wasn't going to write a review but i had to say something because when i told my waitress that the rice had been coming out hard she reported it and nothing was done. No one followed up with us or asked us anything. It was ignored. Every time we come here we have awesome waitresses. But there's always this one lady who looks at us like we can't afford to be here. I will no longer recommend this place. read more

Come in for moms bday dinner , new place . Ok seating arrangements, sushi bar not too big, lots of tables tho . They offer all you can eat as well as individual orders . Lots of rolls that seem original with some traditional twist . Prices seem a bit higher than most places but I'm not positive. But definitely in the sashimi they were , and sashimi is not available on the all you can eat . Overall good was all great and taste great . Orders a bunch of things, sashimi, rolls , appetizers, meals , etc . They also have bottled beer and draft as well witch is a good thing ! Would definitely return read more

Been wanting to stop in here for years now and finally did. Thursday afternoon , place was somewhat busy but service was still great. Saw alot of takeout orders coming and going too. Food was fresh and on point. Solid sushi spot with many options. Looking forward to returning. read more

Horrible!!!!!! Sat at the table for over 30 minutes and no food! I mean given there was only one chef at the time which we understood but to see other people get their food is ridiculous! We asked where the food was and we were told the sever forgot to inform the chef of our order. So in essence we sat at the table with NO ONE checking in on us the entire time we were there. If you have time to waste and receive horrible service than come waste your time here. We walked out 1st and last time! Update: We drove out to Sumo Sushi and the service was much better! We actually got food within 5 minutes of being seated. Take note Maru! read more

All I have to say is delicious this place has excellent quality sushi and very skilled chefs. I tried all of the more obscure rolls and was amazed by how delicious and fresh everything was this was such a great experience I will be back again and again in my opinion the best roll here is the Jen Jen it has the most amazing flavor. If I had to make one suggestion to the owner would be to add monkey brain to their appetizer because if they did this place would have it all also if you are interested in an excellent appetizer with the most wide range of flavor it would be the Jon. Thank you for making my first time here amazing. read more

There Salmon roll is really good. The service was on time everyone seem nice. I would recommend and will be back.

This sushi restaurant was amazing. We had a good time, the waitresses were very friendly. The salmon was really fresh. The ayce sushi was worth it, I love unagi and they had rolls that have unagi in it. I also enjoyed the fact that they gave you a small amount of rice with a big piece of fish, you get more bang for your buck this way. I would come here again for sure. Great service friendly staff and a good atmosphere. 5 stars all the way. read more

Tried twice hoping my tastebuds would be different. The customer service to go they have working like a machine glad to see they survived. The sushi flavors were bland nothing stimulating to the palate. Reminds me of buying sushi flavor from grocery store deli. read more

This place used to be amazing. I've been coming here a couple years now and the food and service was pretty good. The last 3 times it was: ok at best, bad and horrible. The service has been non existent at one point i thought everyone had left or was on break. We had sushi come out warm and room temp and went almost an entire meal without reviving the drinks. The final straw was when we ordered A.Y.C.E for 2 adults and one child. We ordered 4 items on the 1st round. We were the only guests in the building and 35 minutes later, the 1st roll shows up. Another 15 min later the second roll. 20 more minutes and nothing else shows up, not even the waiter. We had been there over an hour and not even received the 1st round. I went over and found the waiter and let him know we had to go and were out of time. I asked if we can just pay for the 2 rolls we had since we never even got a full "round" he says "sure". Not only did he not do that, we were charged for 3 adult AYCE not even the 1 kids and 2 adult. To this day i am still awaiting my refund. I don't recommend going back. I only gave it a second star because it used to be good to us. read more

I'm from the high desert... we don't have many sushi places up here. However, they are definitely better quality than this. I order 4 different rolls and an appetizer. The appetizer being the jalapeño dish basically was Mayo and mushed stuffings. The rolls were flavorless :( I hate being so negative about restaurants. Especially sushi because I love sushi but this place isn't it. Hopefully when traveling around here next time I find a better spot. The restaurant is clean for the most part. The food looks good in pictures but it doesn't taste like anything. read more

Service good. Very polite staff. Ordered ice tea, got hot tea. No biggy. Ordered the sushi combo. Yellowtail not fresh. Tuna not great. Overall not satisfied with the fish combo. read more

It's too bad we didn't even get a chance to taste the food. Came here based on the reviews (lots of 5 star reviews). Walked into the restaurant at 5:45pm on a Friday. Place was empty. As soon as we sat down, a bunch of to go orders walked in. We ordered before at least 2 of the Take out individuals did. Sushi chefs were dishing out to go orders left and right, we sat there for 20 minutes only to find out our order was not put in. We understand take out orders need to be filled, but dine in customers should be the priority. We didn't even get offered a complimentary roll, all we got was an apology and a goodbye. Oh! and we paid for our beers, ridiculous. Sad to say we probably will not be returning. *UPDATE* All's well that ends well. Ended up at Sushi Shiro, down the street and found our new favorite sushi spot. Really cool deals on sushi & drinks! Can't wait to come back. read more
