I love Marumi. I've eaten most of the things on the menu. Marumi's food isn't for everyone. It isn't splashy. It is subtle, and simple. The quality of ingredients are excellent, the technique in cooking is great which makes the food awesome. If that is what you're looking for, then Marumi is for you. Tips: 1. Ask to be seated in the back in the garden. Its quieter and nice. 2. If it gets really full, and you're just with another person, sit in the bar. 3. Try the appetizers which are interesting and fun. The spicy chicken appetizer's chicken breast is incredibly soft.

I tried hard to like this place because some friends recommended it but in the end it was really mediocre. I suppose I've had sushi of this quality in Japan too but this sushi was poorly sliced and had too much wasabi. The service was not good but that could be because it was late and the waitstaff was eager to go home. Anyway, I won't be back.

I've been going to Marumi for eleven years now. The food is authentic and so delicious. Their hamachi kama when they have it is very good. I like their bento boxes. I think the prices are a bit high but then the quality of the food is also high. They are basically passing the cost on to the customer. The food portions are completely appropriate. I suppose this is relative to any one person. I can finish a quarter pounder and med french fry from McDonald's (but not the drink) and will feel stuffed. Maybe that will help? In any case, I don't expect my sashimi to be over a 1/4 inch thick. They don't serve it that way in Japan so why would I expect that here? Anyway, I highly recommend this place and no, I don't work at the restaurant.

No matter where I've lived in the City -- and I've been all over -- I *always* come back to Marumi. So does my wife; totally independently, she's come to the same conclusion about Marumi. I'd eat here every night if I could.

There was nothing to like about this place - main dishes are over priced and under served. The food portions seem as though they are being rationed - very small pieces of fish for what they charge. The fish was rather tasteless as well. The only things that were good were the shumai - although they are fried and not steamed and the $10. bottle of sake. I would not not waste your time or money eating here - there are so many other good choices of places to eat - and this is not one of them. Felt ripped off - they must be writing their own reviews.

See title.

A great little place - people were waiting before and after we arrived, which can only suggest other people love it too! Fresh food and cheerful service. Will be back, soon.
