    Branded chopstick wrapper.

    If you are looking for authentic Japanese home cooking style restaurant, this is the spot. Sushi is NOT ALL ABOUT Japanese food. And this place serves all the lovely home cooking style Japanese dishes. Grilled fish, noodle soup, stir fried vegetables, Japanese curry... Their service is friendly and precise. And obviously, their sushi is awesome as well. Highly recommend this Japanese restaurant. Make a reservation, because it is always packed!

    3 sushi rolls: from left, clockwise, ceviche, fantasy, crunchy spicy

    The restaurant is in the strip mall just west of University Drive and east of Pine Island Road on the north side of Sunrise Boulevard. It's in the Publix shopping center along with a lot of other eateries. There is plenty of parking but it is a very packed strip mall. The restaurant itself is small. I didn't take note of the exact number of seats but it doesn't hold a large amount of people. It's very plain. Our server was very attentive and asked questions about my raw-onion allergy to make sure all the dishes were safe for me. We had a party of 4. We ordered the smelt fish and skewered squid appetizers; the scallops and mushrooms and the pork, tofu, and bitter melon meals. The entrees were not accompanied by rice. It was $4 for a small serving. (What Asian restaurant doesn't offer rice with its meals?) We also got three sushis: the ceviche, the fantasy, and the crunchy spicy tuna (without raw scallions). The smelt was good, but they were so tiny (the size of a pinkie but not as thick). My Chinese mom often fried smelt when I was growing up and they were small but at least the size of a Sharpie marker. The squid was decent and even better with a squeeze of fresh lemon. The scallops and mushrooms dish was divine. It was a favorite at the table. In the other entree, the pork was scarce, the tofu was crumbly, and the bitter melon was the most bitter I have ever tasted. The three sushis were a hit. The ceviche had a wonderful cilantro flavor and melted in your mouth. The crunchy spicy tuna had tempura flakes and a soft spicy tuna. The fantasy had shrimp tempura, avocado, and some of the same crunchy spicy tuna. All these were topped with teeny weeny crunchy rice balls that my daughter and I loved. Two appetizers, 2 entrees, 3 sushi rolls, tax, and tip totaled about $113.

    Crispy Shrimp with Spicy Mayo
    Briana N.

    Love that this place is open on Christmas Eve! We thought it would be super busy, but we were still able to call in like 30 min beforehand to make a reservation as we got on our way. The menu here is EXTENSIVE. A bad thing if you're not a big decision maker, but a great thing if you just want to order a bunch of random dishes for the table and try a bit of everything. I feel like the entrees are pretty fairly prices, but the appetizers seemed to be on the expensive side. Some stand outs for me were the Hokke fish, which was not dry at all and came with a delicious dipping sauce (although you have to pick out the bones yourself) and the Kabocha tempura. I would get the agedashi tofu again too, but I would want to eat it faster because if you let it sit in the sauce, the crispy outside gets all gummy. Whereas I don't think I would order the crispy shrimp with mayo again. It wasn't necessarily bad, but just not worth it and didn't really leave much of an impression on me when there were other things to be eaten. I also thought the kake udon was okay. The broth was just different than what I had expected - it was more like sour. The volcano roll itself was kinda eh but I liked the topping a lot.

    While aimlessly looking for a dinner spot we ran into this location. It was a Saturday evening and we were asked if we had a reservation which we did not. However, there were a few open tables so we were sat immediately. This restaurant serve plates and a family style so they are most of them meant for sharing . They do also have daily specials rating on a board which they put in front of your table. Our server gave several recommendation and she was super sweet and made modifications requested. I had the seafood ceviche to start which tasted so fresh and it was absolutely delicious. We shared the Japanese fried chicken which was steaming hot but so tender and juicy. For mains we had a sushi roll and the seafood ramen with udon noodles as requested. Everything we had tasted fresh and was absolutely delicious. For dessert we ordered the fried cheesecake which was ok. We did notice that most of the patrons that came were Japanese or from some Asian country which is how you know the place is legit. 100% recommend

    Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but the Sashimi and Seafood Vegetable Hotpot were subpar. Presentation of the Sashimi Combo B was nice, but something tasted off about the sashimi. The seafood vegetable hotpot had a freezer burn taste. The eggplant nibitashi that was on the specials board; however, was very good. Cool, slightly tart, and a natural creaminess from the eggplant itself. Service was good, but the 2 waitresses were definitely running around taking in-person orders, on the phone for to-go orders, and running drinks/food to the 10+ tables this busy night - so it took quite a while to get our check from when we finished our meal.

    Mentaiko onigiri and hot tea

    Thr best and most authentic japanese izakaya in Florida, I am in live with this place every time I come. And they make the best mentaiko onigiris I have ever had, hands down.

    I've been here several times and it's become my favorite Japanese Izakaya type restaurant in Greater Fort Lauderdale. It's a small, casual space in a suburban shopping corner with loads of free parking. Marumi serves excellent sushi but the real unique standout is the rest of the large and varied menu. The sandwich-board specials menu doesn't change daily, but where else does a restaurant offer a variety of whole fish priced by the pound and cooked 3 different ways? Izakaya restaurants offer many shareable small tapas-like dishes. Sharing almost everything is the way to go here. (Don't share your soups. The Clear Mushroom Soup is deceptively deep with earthy mushroom flavors, and many of us order 2 bowls for ourselves!) The 5 Live Oysters are really super fresh on the half shell. The crunchy Wasabi Octopus will open up your nasal passages. The Crispy Needle Fish is also a great shareable appetizer. Eat the whole tiny fish, bones and all. Without a doubt, my favorite must-try recommendation is the Angel Hair Pasta with Uni and Ikura. I'm not even a big fan of uni (sea urchin), but this dish is fantastic. Rich buttery taste with Ikura (fish roe) to add a pop of seafood flavor, and a dab of wasabi for heat. Divine! There are so many menu items you can return 8 times and still have items you haven't tried but want to. Service has always been friendly and prompt. Alcohol is the weak point with room for improvement. The sake is very good, but there should be a larger variety at different sizes and price points. Ditto draft and bottled Japanese beer. The weakest link is the cheap Australian wines that do not do the food justice at all. Hopefully they can get help with that and expand their selection. Even with its weak points, Marumi is a fine and fun adventure in ethnic gastronomy, especially for around these parts.

    Great place and fresh sushi. Service was good and nice atmosphere for hanging out with family and friend.

    Fried Cheesecake Roll
    Jessica H.

    I've eaten here twice so far. I love how their menu is creative and a little experimental. I have liked the sushi rolls I've tried so far. (No pics, sorry) I can't say I loved them, but I want to try more. Their specials have sounded good too. However, I'm disappointed in the fried cheesecake. Before ordering, I asked what it's like because the name is Fried Cheesecake Rolls (1 pictured but it comes with 4). The waitress didn't know how to answer my question so I just got it. I was expecting tempura cheesecake like most Japanese restaurants. Be aware: it's NOT tempura. These are fried rolls like avocado rolls or similar. You can tell from the shape in the picture. Inside, they were only about 1/4-1/3 full of cheesecake. The rest was empty space. I'm sure frying them, the cheesecake melts out somewhat. Not a lot was left. And it was strongly banana flavored! It didn't say banana cheesecake. I assumed it would be plain cheesecake. So honestly, the cheesecake filling tasted kinda like mushy bananas with a slight cheesecake texture as far as creaminess. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't what I wanted. I would say this dessert is only semi-successful. I'll still return for sushi.

    Tonight's special board
    Julie F.

    I really like this restaurant. It's been years since i used to meet a girlfriend who lived nearby here for dinner. Having been here often way back when, I was surprised I hadn't done a review. But I guess it was before I was a yelp elite and didn't write reviews as much as I do now. We were joining two other couples for dinner. And I was thrilled when they selected this location. As we were a party of six and it was a Saturday night, they'd made reservations. They were packed! I'd highly recommend reservations for quick seating. This is one of the more authentic Asian restaurants. They have lots of items that the standard Japanese restaurant do not carry. In addition to their extensive regular menu, they always have a whiteboard with daily specials. Try to get something from this board, if you are a bit adventurous. We ordered two different fish dishes from the board -- a crispy needlefish (tiny whole fried fish) and a dish called kisu fish tempura. I had to google the "kisu" to find out what it was. Both fishes were delicious. The kisu had tail on but no heads. The crispy needlefish reminded me of fried baby smelts. In addition, my husband got some salmon sashimi. So fresh! And I ordered a shrimp and eggplant in miso sauce dish that was very very good. Our friends got an assortment of dishes from crispy bok choy to ramen; vegetable tempura to gyoza; enoki mushrooms with bacon; and a sushi roll. The only negatives I can recall was a bit too much mayonnaise topping on one of the sushi rolls. This is a unique restaurant to south Florida. And I'm so glad we got to try it again. Now if only they were closer to my residence as I'd be here much much more often. And I'm planning on returning soon.

    Uni pasta
    Lauren W.

    A Japanese restaurant that offers a very large and wide variety of items (from sushi, to curry, to hotpot, to ramen and more). There's also a separate menu that lists daily specials, so you'll never be lacking in choices to choose from. Service is great, the lighting is dim at night to give visitors a late-night comfortable meal (they close at 1am!) I would come here due to regularly craving their uni pasta (keeping in mind this is MP). The uni pasta is definitely my favorite dish: So soft, buttery and when you mix the uni with the Ikura (fish eggs) and angel hair pasta, you taste a dish of utter perfection. Occasionally I'll stop by for a quick udon soup, which is very comforting to eat at night. Not pictured - their grouper head is very flavorful and freshly served.

It's a layered, fruity cocktail that's a little more complex. Personally, I prefer the Pisco Sour it's cleaner and more balanced for my taste. But if you like citrusy and berry-forward drinks, you might love this one. Again, these are my reviews based on my taste buds. You might feel differently and that's ok honey. + Espresso Martini ($16) : 9/10 Strong, chocolatey, and gets the job done. + Lychee Martini ($16) : 8.6/10 Clean and balanced. Not too sweet, just smooth and refreshing + Pisco Sour ($16) : 10/10 My fave. Fruity, with this nice cold foam on top. Pretty sure there were peach or passionfruit notes in there. So good. * Shots - We also did a round (Don Julio, I think), and it kept the vibe going. Appetizers/Entrees __________________ +Nikkei Tiradito ($19) : 10/10 Thin tuna slices with a shouyu sauce that had a little citrusy kick. I could've had another plate just for myself. +Grilled Octopus ($20) : 8.4/10 This was good! Cooked well, had a nice char. Not my favorite thing on the table, but still strong comes with Peruvian corn and potato. +Arroz Chaufa Special ($24) : 10/10 Babyyy this dish was everything. Wok-fried rice, perfectly seasoned. That filet was so tender, and the shrimp just brought it all together. Easy standing ovation for me. * Dessert - I honestly can't remember what we ordered for dessert, but it was decent. Nothing crazy. I'd give it a 7/10. Overall Experience: 10/10 Customer Service: 10/10 Would I Be Back? Without a doubt. I even told my mom about this place and I think she went a couple months ago!
