First time trying this out. I got the salmon teriyaki bowl, combo with California roll, spicy tuna roll, and a spicy tuna hand roll, yellowtail spicy roll. I recommend the California roll, spicy tuna hand roll, yellowtail spicy roll... delicious. Also happy hoir from 8 to close for drinks. Wow... delicious. I could tell the teriyaki sauce has brown sugar so legit. Definitely a go-to if you're in Upland. read more

They do ayce sushi. Reasonable price around 27 and you can get 2 dollars off if you check in yelp. The fish are all fresh. They even have oysters aa part of their ayce, but only one per person. I love their jen jen and john. They have alot of selection without rice, which is great!!!! Loved their takoyaki as well. Service was ok (not the best). Among all the servers, there was only one that actually is very attentive. Others are either on their phone or chatting with other servers. read more

Good service from Desiree and fish was fresh!!! Hit the spot for a Monday, it's clean and they had a nice selection of Sake for a small place. First time trying this place and I was pleasantly surprised. They stay open later than most places. I had sushi, tuna and salmon and sashimi, next time I'll try some rolls. The Miso was hot and had a slight garlic note, but not sure. It was good. We waited about fifteen minutes for a table but as people were leaving we were seated promptly. Very friendly waitstaff, and vibe was good, they were busy, but we got attentive service when they took our order. This will be my Monday go to when I'm craving sushi. read more

My party just walked out after waiting 45 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. I called ahead and there was no wait, so we headed over. One we got there, without even asking the size of our party, they told us there was a 10 minute wait. It did take around 10 minutes, but we noticed a party of 4 that came after us was seated first. Once we were seated, no one offered us menus or water. We had to grab the menus ourselves. After looking at the menu, we were all ready to order and no one had visited our table. We waved our arms, said "excuse me", ....literally a small show at our table ensued and still no one came over. At this point, it was clear we were being completely ignored. We tried to be patient and give them the benefit of the doubt, but we called it quits once the table of 4 that arrived after us was served their food before our table had even been offered water. We left and none of the workers came over to apologize or anything. This has been one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I would be shocked if the restaurant survives long term if the customer service continues like this. Save your time and eat at a restaurant that actually appreciates your business! This place is a complete no. read more

Maru Sushi - A table of menus and disappointment after 45 minutes of waiting. They didn't even give us water. WORST SERVICE EVER. - Japanese Near Me - Upland, California

We have been here a few times and we enjoy the food and the atmosphere. The service is always very polite and appreciative.

Tried this place back in 2019 a few times and it was 5 stars, awesome! Tried again when they reopened after Covid and it was terrible. Today, I thought we'd give it another try, since I didn't want to drive down to Mountain and 6th (Sumo Sushi, consistently amazing). I regret it so much. They increased their prices, even more than our best sushi place ($36.99 for adults and $21.99 for my daughter). Which is fine, inflation, I get it, but the food quality was so bad. We don't eat roles, we eat actual sushi, and the rice to fish ratio was ridiculous. Each piece was heavy. I couldn't eat it, my daughter couldn't eat it. It was not fresh and had a bad taste. I asked for the check and the lady talked about charging me for all the uneaten pieces. I told her that's not how sushi is done and it's really bad. I'll pay for the 2 All You Can Eats and not order anything else and she said okay and just walked away. Truly terrible sushi. I will say that the Christmas tree is super cute and the atmosphere is pleasant. read more

This was my first time coming here and it was enjoyable! I had the spicy shrimp, volcano & salmon delight roll. They were all very delicious and the presentation was great. We took our order to go and our order was accurate and wrapped well. Hope to be back to try more rolls. read more

The food was good. Ambiance is nice. Service was good too. It's my son's go to when they are craving got sushi

I ate here during the brief time dine in was available. It was very good. The taste and quality were good. Not my favorite but it was good. The all you can eat menu was a bit limited but the items on it were executed well. Nothing stood out as amazing but we did enjoy it. It's hard to tell if just being excited to eat out he any influence on this. read more

Do NOT order from them unless you are there to check your full order. I have ordered from them three times and no dressing has come with the salad. When I'm in the store I enjoy their salad a lot so I have tried and tried again, but quality of what comes with the Togo orders does not match what's in store. I then asked for help where I was told SIX times to check my bag and look for the dressing. (I got two items, I didn't need to search long) extremely frustrating. Sushi Takumi has the same salad with the great mustard seed dressing and always provides, so pay the extra dollar and go there instead. read more

Ordered via Uber Eats on 6-29-24 for a party at our home, food was amazing, fresh and hit the spot....thank you Maru Team!

Cant remembered the name of the sushi that i got, but both dishes were absolutely good. No complaint at all. Server was nice. Place is clean. Thats all good to me. read more

Very good... we yelped a few places.. this one ended up being our choice. Good cuts, we went by what others said and ordered the honeymoon roll.. it was awesome. Fish was fresh, we did the lunch all you can eat...and it was so good you can eat is a treat. The waiter was offering us other rolls... you don't feel awkward ordering off all you can eat, they encourage you to enjoy yourself... Not a lot of pictures in menu, but good explainations... worth a try... our 1st time here. When I give 4 stars it is really good... I am saving 5 for that ultimate.. way out there.. outstanding experience.. so this place is really good in my book. read more

I am so glad I found a good sushi spot. The best sushi I have had in a long time. I have been looking for a sushi place close to home. The flavor of everything was tasty. When I walked in I could smell delicious fresh cucumber. I will be back here, I have tried different locations (in Rancho, Upland, Ontario, Claremont and La Verne) but I finally found a place I could highly recommend. read more

Food is just okay, but the portions are incredibly small. The waiters will avoid offering any service and aren't especially helpful. I wont be returning, this place was a big let down. Not sure how they've managed to get four stars on here. read more

Good value. The salmon skin hand roll and yellowtail collar were very good. The rainbow roll we had wasn't anything special but it was big. We'll be back to try some other items as the prices were reasonable and the service was good. A little loud for me considering it was a sushi restaurant. read more

I've been here a few times with my son. The sushi is good quality and the service is great. I love the Philly roll and my son loves the Tiger roll. read more

Food was delicious! 10/10 would recommend, the service was excellent, they greeted us right when we came in and took care of us really well! Ambiance was awesome too, we were jamming along to the music throughout the entire meal! Definitely will be coming again! read more

It's unfortunate I have to give this place 2 stars because the quality and flavor of their sushi is on point. However, they are lacking in service for sure. We came for the all you can eat but we're told they stopped serving it at 8pm after we already ordered our drinks and that we had walked in at 801. The server didn't even tell us nor was there a sign stating AYCE hours. Thankfully she asked and they accommodated the AYCE but said we couldn't have a 3rd round. Then they wouldn't give us our check because we had 2 pieces of sushi left and ended up charging us a "Left over" fee for the 2 pieces. As if an AYCE dinner for 3 and one person À la carte wasn't enough $$ for them. read more

Maru Sushi - 2 left over pieces of sushi we were charged for. - Japanese Near Me - Upland, California

Been coming here for over a year . I order the same thing salmon roll. Lately all i get is rice with a tiny piece of fish . Idk what's going on. Aside from the it's been tasting super fishy. I try to give them chances but today is my last time coming here . So sad . read more

Our overall experience was just disappointing. On numerous occasions we had to flag down someone to come and assist us. For our first order we had half of it come out and after waiting a good 20 minutes we had to ask what was taking so long, not having realized they only brought out half (not to mention a roll we didn't order). On the second order they placed the order incorrectly. Aside from the service, the soft shell crab in two of the rolls was totally off, the fishiness overpowered the rest of the roll. They seemed to just be prioritizing the to-go orders and completely disregarding dine-in customers. read more

Sushi is good and very fair priced but as for the Ramen that's another thing.. the ramen tastes like insta cup of noodles, broth is a mix of powder flavor and hot sauce. I would stay away from the ramen but try the sushi again. Pros: - good sushi - okay prices for ramen - fast service Con: - Noodles taste cheap - Broth doesn't mix well - limited ramen variety - only mild and spicy option for broth read more

We came here right before closing and we're happy with the sushi rolls we chose. Everyone was very kind and attentive. We will definitely be going back. read more

Went here with the boyfriend last night after reading the reviews. We are from The Bay Area and we are in SoCal for vacation and found this place on yelp. When we arrived, it was pretty empty. There were about only 2 other couples. The place itself was nice. Big and lots of space. What we ordered: Miso Soup - Bland, nothing to exciting. Used fried tofu instead. Chicken Teriyaki - chicken was dry, but the sauce was good. Fried Calamari - didn't enjoy it as much. It looked like it was pre-packaged and it wasn't fresh. Came with a honey mustard sauce. Personally, I think they should've served it with the mayo sauce. Edamame - it was overcooked. Popcorn Scallop Roll - they actually served it with deep friend crawfish instead. Pretty good. Crunch Roll - California roll with shrimp tempura. I wasn't too crazy about it. Salmon Skin Roll - I love salmon skin. It was delicious. Caterpillar Roll - I love the way they cooked the unagi but the roll itself was just okay. We had another roll and it was the California roll with baked salmon on top and it was good. Overall, the dining experience was average. I wasn't too crazy over the food but it was good enough that I was satisfied. They put unagi sauce over all the rolls the we ordered. I think they could use less of that. Since it's grand opening too, free drinks with a meal and $.99 beers (hite & coors light) read more

Great Lowkey sushi restaurant with awesome courteous customer service. Originally went to sake 2 me in Rancho Cucamonga but hostess were terrible!!! Open bar and NO ONE sitting there and a 30 minute wait? No way, this is a little far from home but well worth it. Delicious rolls, good hot sake, prompt service and quiet location with a spacious open setting. I got the dynamite roll which actually has mozzarella cheese and onions! MUST TRY. Also got the spider roll which looked very interesting and yummy New sushi spot. Surprised we got to pick our table on a Friday night. Will be back for happy hour! $1 sake or beer all day! Whaaat! read more

I've been eating sushi for 20 years and eaten at a lot of AYCE spots. This was terrible. Fish wasn't fresh , they gave us tiny pieces of fish on the rolls, the sushi rice was soaked in vinegar, service wasn't good. Just overall a bad experience. This was our first time. We won't be returning. read more

In my opinion, they have absolutely wonderful food and drinks my favorite shrimp, tempura, their salad dressing, cucumber, salad, and Bento box options for lunch or dinner are always so filling absolutely great service and atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

have came here a few times, love the atmosphere it's a nice environment! the beer and sushi list is delicious! I come here for the all you can eat sushi and put the plates down! if you're in the upland area I highly recommend this place but watch out for weekends or late nights, cause it can get quite busy at this place! they have plenty of TVs around for entertainment if you enjoy watching n dinning. read more

We went here again 3 days after our first experience. Same great service and same great food. There were different employees this time but the consistency shows that they take pride in what they do and conveying that pride to the staff. Again, great job. I'm glad we found a new spot. read more

NEW OWNER! Staff and food has changed. One of the servers was disrespectful to our entire table and was unprofessional. After spending $400, our table was searched for leftovers, $4 was added with an announcement. I'm embarrassed I recommended Maru Sushi. I'll stick to the sushi spot just north of Maru sushi. We will not be coming back. read more

The food is really worth it, the pieces of meat are big and the flavor amazing, It's Sunday and we are desperately looking for a place to taste good sushi, all the other places had waiting times of 1 hour, but in this place you entered immediately there was a table available and the service was fast, we will look again to come to this place for more delicious sushi. read more

Service was outstanding, food was above and beyond amazing! This is hubby and I favorite spot now...lots more date nights to come

Fresh seafood love their chirashj and spicy sashimi bowls and their rolls are huge! Always go for it pop poop

Best one around! Better than any sushi place in Upland, La Verne, or San Dimas. Rice is sound, perfectly steamed, could taste the balance of vinegar and slight seasoning. The rolls we ordered were California, Tiger, Crunch, and Philadelphia were just what I expect. Fish was flavorful and gave just enough wasabi, sirarcha, and soy sauce with my take out order. Everyone was really welcoming and happy customers! read more

I am all about great customer service and good food. This place had neither. Placed the order to go. Long story short, one of the servers/cashiers was rude and the other one was no help. The fish was warm and my jalapeños on one of the rolls had mold! My drive home was no more than 3 mins. I've order sushi from other places to go, never have I encountered warm raw fish. read more

The sushi was not bad. Not the best I've tasted but it's worth a try. I don't know why there's bad ratings on the service. The bad ratings almost scared me away from coming here. But when I came here on a Sunday evening there were plenty of seats and the service was actually good. This place is good if you want a quick bite to eat and you aren't too picky about sushi. read more

Our favorite spot in town. Lunch specials are great during Covid. Highly recommend it

The only reason this place is worth two stars is because the food is good . The service however is terrible. Our server David spent more time talking to another server than tending to his customers. He forgot our drinks , a glass of wine and a hot tea . We were over even asking again because we could clearly tell it was hopeless . The restaurant was not busy at all and I understand that the kitchen is under staffed but that should not reflect the lack of service from the servers. I will not be back and I will tell anyone that asks , don't patronize this restaurant if you are looking for good service. read more
