"4.3 stars: Maki Maki is my go to spot for consistently solid sushi in New City. It’s much more affordable than other sushi spots like Kumo, yet still fresh and good. It’s definitely not the best sushi I’ve ever had, but for the price and consistency, it’s great! At this time, they’re still takeout only, but I used to like dining in as well— it’s a small space but service was always friendly. We ordered takeout recently through UberEats and the food was well packaged and pickup was easy. We got the following items: Salmon Dinner: I’m a big fan of salmon, so I liked this. You get fresh and large pieces of salmon in every form. Seaweed Salad: Always love a good seaweed salad and this one tasted fresh and flavorful. Tuna Tartar: A little too mushy in textures, but good flavors, slightly sweet, and tasty. Maki Trio: This is a great deal— 3 rolls for $18.95. We got the Spicy Yellowfin Crunch, Black Pepper Tuna Avocado, and White Tuna Avocado Rolls. All 3 were solid and fresh with a good ratio of rice and inside contents. They were wrapped a little too loosely, though. Tofu Teriyaki Dinner Box: Tofu was really well fried and had a lot of flavor and nice crispy texture. The other items were a nice addition too. Veggie Fried Rice: Pretty good and standard. The order also came with 3 miso soups and salads with ginger dressing. In the past, I’ve also ordered Hibachi noodles, ramen, and udon noodles all of which were mediocre not that good. I’d definitely stick with the sushi here, which has always been consistently good for me!"

"After roaming the streets for parking for over min, my friends and I were surprised to find such a beautiful venue practically empty on a Friday night. We soon found out why. To get the night started, I ordered a delicious sounding whiskey cocktail. The waitress came back to inform me they were out of the Matcha cream that was integral to the drink. Fine, then I'll try the basil and gin cocktail. Nope, they're also out of basil... No cocktail it is, then. Also, lesson learned, photos can be deceiving. Most of the dishes LOOKED pretty good, but nothing was actually tasty. Their crispy onion topping tasted like it was fried two weeks ago and kept out in the open no aroma, no crunch. Their signature sashimi dishes were flat and not spectacularly fresh. Even the fried potatoes tasted like the middle of a frozen hash brown (the part that never really gets fully heated and is just gummy and flavorless For fun, we also ordered a special roll that is served with a side of flames but before the dish even reached our table, the flame had gone out and the waiter made no attempt to relight it. All he said to us was it's just salt and vodka, don't dip your sushi into it. Womp womp. After that, we just had to go. We actually left hungry to go to Guisados a few doors down. Best decision all night. TL;DR: Ambiance quiet because there was literally no one else there. Food subpar and definitely not worth the $ price point. Service fine, nothing to complain or rave about. Parking horrible, but I guess that is to be expected in DTLA."
