The food at Maru was absolutely wonderful. We had the Yellowtail Grapefruit with Ponzu Sauce and Serrano Pepper sashimi preparation and I FELT MOVED by the flavor. It was beautiful. Our table shared asparagus tempura, crispy spicy tuna roll, and a spicy salmon roll which were all solid choices. Next, we each chose a specialty roll. We had a Maru Roll, Sensai Roll, Killer 82 Roll, and a JEMZ Chan Roll. Again, I felt like crying while eating the JEMZ Chan Roll - it was so delicate yet flavorful - just perfect. The Sensai Roll was a close runner up. We finished the night with four different flavors of mochi (Green Tea, Passionfruit, Espresso, and Chocolate Chip). Each were outstanding.The head chef and owner visited our table and was happy to discuss the food. This is a special special place!!!
