Our Guestbook
“ Very kind and accomodating staff, even for parties as large as 15. The food was great for the price and the portions were huge. Great little restaurant in the Japanese Village Plaza :) ”
“ We came in on a Sunday night, it was busy but we were seated within 5-10min. I ordered the chicken katsu combo, it's very filling and you'll definitely have left overs. The katsu is crispy and hits the spot. The food comes out quick after you order! ”
“ Authentic vibe. Ramen was fantastic. Service is exceptional. My server Greg made the trip unforgettable. 5 stars is an understatement. ”
“ It was girl's night out and we had been before. Ambience is lovely. Service is lovely. I always get the Thai iced tea and a bento box with all the varieties of food. Last time, I had the chicken teriyaki. This time, I tried the chicken katsu. The price was 23 to 25 dollars but it's the rice, miso soup, tempura veggies, shrimp tempura, California rolls and salad. I was full before I got to the chicken kansu. Will definitely come again. Parking can be tricky because Tokoyo village is always packed but restaurant validates so that is a nice touch. Definitely worth a repeat visit. ”
“ Everything is Yes! Tucked away in the heart of the city, Maruya offers a dining experience that is as much about attitude as it is about food. From the moment you walk through the door, the philosophy of the restaurant is clear: if you ask, the answer is yes. Want to swap ingredients? Yes. Looking for a rare wine pairing? Yes. Need a custom dessert? Yes. It's a dining concept that puts service, flexibility, and personal attention at the forefront, creating an experience that feels intimate and uniquely tailored to each guest. ”
“ Grabbed dinner here on a Sunday evening. No line, so was seated immediately. Plenty of indoor and outdoor availability. The server was so friendly and sweet. Ordered a tonkatsu ramen and salmon roll. The ramen was great and umami with al dente noodles. The rice in the salmon roll tasted a bit mushy and overcooked, which overpowered the salmon. Located centrally in Little Tokyo, so plenty of people watching can occur, especially if you choose to sit outside! ”
“ This is one of the few places in Little Tokyo Village that's open on a Tuesday between lunch and dinner. From the outside it doesn't look like much or even busy, but once you step inside it's much larger and most tables were filled. The staff were all very friendly and the service was efficient. The decor was modern but still had an old Tokyo Village feel to it. We ordered the chashu and tonkatsu ramen plus the sashimi appetizer. The differences between the two ramens are the size and the amount of chashu. (You can see from the photo.) I have to admit the presentation of the chashu ramen threw me off. Can't decide if it's "cool" or "creepy" lol. Either way, the ramen was good. The broth was rich and the chashu was nicely charred on the edges. I also liked that there wasn't a lot of other stuff in the ramen, just an egg and green onions. And if you like spice but worry it might be too much, ask for the spicy sauce on the side. ”
