Maru WeHo

I just had the best lunch of my life at Maru WeHo! I could truly eat her every day! I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted by Rahul! The food was incredible I was blown away by the shrimp tempura tamaki! I ordered the lunch special which included the tamaki, salmon teriyaki, fried rice soup and salad for $18. I still truly can’t believe how good it was and the value is incredible! However, Rahul was the best part of the whole experience. He had the whole floor by himself and he was soo attentive and kept every table super clean. I hope when I bring my husband we sit with rahul! Can’t wait to come back!

We loved this place! The rolls were absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced, which is soooo important. You can really taste the quality, and the service was great too. Honestly, it feels like everywhere in Nashville the rolls are crazy expensive for no reason, but here the quality is great and the pricing actually makes sense. Everything was delicious. We had a couple of rolls and the lunch special. I recommend the lunch special because it’s a lot of delicious food for under $20. The place is super cute, parking was easy, and we really hope to see more people checking it out because it deserves way more love!!! We’ll definitely be back

My husband and I had been going out to eat on a Saturday night after church and last night was our first time here.Usually, we go for Google search or word of mouths for restaurants that we have not tried and read reviews and our criteria is from 4.7 and higher but can go down from 4.5 and higher just to give room for the benefits of the doubt.Obviously,Maru Weho met our standard,that was why we came. We made a reservation, but we still could have been accepted as walk ins since there were few empty tables available when we arrived. Upon arrival, there was nobody in the reception booth, but the sweet lady bartender, made time to get us seated with a warm and welcoming attitude.It appeared that they were short staffed last night because we only saw her and the one taking orders in the dining area who happened to be our server and then the staff in the kitchen which we could not see, because it was not an open kitchen.After few minutes of being seated, additional staffs appeared to have arrived though. In spite of this, however, it did not compromise their great service.Seemed that everybody were trained to do multi tasking and knew how to ran a busy night. Our server Rahul, was so friendly and efficient and kept everything ran smoothly and even gave us a complimentary appetizer and an entree for what he felt a wait, although we did not feel it at all because we were still busy looking at the menu and enjoying the cozy atmosphere when he came to our table to get our orders.This kind gesture was extraordinary and made us feel valued making our experience so special.We ordered a lot, because we were hungry and we wish we can give you the list with individual descriptions of each, but since this review alone is already long, how much more, when we do that.All we can say is, from appetizers to small plates to entrees, they were all delicious, authentic, fresh, and of high qualities.My husband also ordered the ube colada cocktail which he said was so refreshing and then the mochi ice cream and fried Oreo for desserts and cleaned up our plates.Added bonus at the end of our meal was the bill. Considering that I mentioned that we ordered a lot, it was still affordable and actually within or below our weekend budget eating out.There were still a lot on the menu that we would like to try, so, we will definitely come back.We highly recommend it.So, please do yourself a favor and put this restaurant in your priority list because we are sure,you will not regret it

I have worked as a sales person in a Japanese food wholesaler and have visited many sushi places before. Now I am not working in this field any more. I traveled Nashville for a business trip and visited this restaurant because their sushi and dish quality looks pretty good and price reasonable. I ordered an octopus appetizer and sushi combo. The dish quality was awesome compared to its price and sushi quality was really good too. In this price, usually restaurant uses frozen tuna but they use a fresh tuna and sushi quality was really good too. I usually don't go to a typical cheap sushi restaurant because I had lots of sushi when I worked as a sales person. If I taste rice, I know the quality right away because of my experience. I really enjoyed my dinner and would like to recommend you visit here ASAP before they raise the price. It is worth it.

Today was our second visit to Maru, and both experiences were amazing. On our first visit we tried the chef curated experience (7 courses, including dessert), and second time we selected a few things off the menu for lunch. The food was impressive both times—high quality fish, interesting presentation, and nice accompaniments (one roll came with some deep fried onion pieces and the other with spicy marinated carrots). I look forward to trying a lot of other items on the menu and discovering my favorites. Will definitely be back many times.

Went to lunch today and can’t help but give this one a 5 stars review!! * The restaurant is nice and clean, atmosphere giving you comfort but upscale vibes kind of feeling! *Food was delicious and well prepared by the chefs that you can tell from presentations and favor of each dish, Lunch special is not the same old boring bento box like other places (strongly recommend for you to come try ) *Our sever Rahul is very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks, thank you Rahul

Our 3rd visit and delicious every time! We had tuna carpaccio, sake tataki, Baja fresh roll and beef fried rice. The sake tataki consisted of seared salmon over honey glazed brussel sprouts. Everything was fresh and delicious. I am so glad Maru opened in this area. I can't wait to return.

I recently visited this newly opened Japanese restaurant, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Nashville. You can really feel the love and effort that went into every detail—from the beautiful interior design to the thoughtfully crafted dishes. The Ube Colada cocktail was especially memorable—refreshing, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Every dish we tried was delicious, and it’s clear that quality ingredients and passion are behind the menu. I’m sure this place will soon become a go-to spot in town. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for authentic flavors and a warm, inviting atmosphere!
