I really like the food here, especially the bulgogi and chicken teriyaki boxes. The complimentary sides you get with the box are quite refreshing, especially the kimchi, which I ended up finishing in one bite. The meats here are quite succulent, and I love how the juices drip onto the rice to create this popping, umami flavor. Green tea here was a nice refresher to satisfy my hunger.

MARU Korean Cuisine & Sushi in Vienna did NOT disappoint! We were greeted with complimentary hot green tea upon arrival. Flavors were all on point, fish was super fresh (check out the color on that tuna), friendly service AND the prices didn't break the bank. Other customers were getting dishes that came out sizzling and smelling so good, will definitely want to try that next time.

Absolutely No customer service.Nobody comes to check the table during dinner.Off course our tea cups were empty. And they don't even say thank you to the customer. Sushi fish was not fresh, sushi rice was old. Sorry.

Loved everything we ate here! Started with some appetizers (seafood pancake and takoyaki), and it both were very tasty! I ordered the tonkatsu-udon combo (only available during lunch), which was very filling and yummy. We also ordered other traditional Korean soups and sushi. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of both cuisines, and I definitely would recommend this is you're not sure between Korean or Japanese in the Vienna area. The service was a little slow to begin with since it was a little busy, but the size of the place is a little small, so I can't discredit them too much.

Well, I am actually surprised I haven't written a review for this restaurant yet. I've dined here about four separate times and I thought I already wrote a review but turns out I didn't. Just from looking at my photos below, you can tell that this sushi is high quality. In fact, just looking at these sushi boats filled with rolls and nigiris are making me want some sushi right now!! Anyways, the employees here are very nice and friendly, I believe they are a family run business from my observation. On top of that, although it is a very small restaurant, they usually get a lot of customers and take out orders. I've taken my friends here, my parents here, and have also gotten takeout to eat it back at home. The sushi here is always very good quality and I am always highly satisfied. If you're looking for high quality delicious sushi, go to Maru!

I had an overall good experience here. The food is delicious and they certainly go above and beyond to make sure you have all the items you need to enjoy your meal (spices, soy sauce, extras). I will caveat by saying that i came here as soon as it opened so maybe they were not ready but it was tough to get the attention of the wait staff. I was the only customer in the restaurant. There is parking in the back which is always a plus.

My husband and I were in the area with our son looking for a new spot to try. Maru Korean Cuisine & Sushi is located in a shopping center with a huge parking lot that is shared with other retailers. Parking shouldn't be an issue. There are a handful of tables inside and we were seated immediately on the weekend without making reservations ahead of time. Water was immediately brought out to us and a pitcher of water was also provided so we could conveniently refill our own drinks as well. The menu has alot of items, mostly Korean dishes and sushi dishes just as the name of the restaurant states. I love that the lunch menu bento boxes are even available on the weekends from 1130am-2pm. I just discovered this spot, but have already been back twice because the food is that good. A few items I have tried: Bulgolgi Box - This comes with green salad, miso soup, shrimp and vegetable tempura, California roll and Korean rice. The bulgolgi meat was so flavorful, it was seasoned very well and not overcooked. All of the other extras in the meal were perfect for me to pick at with my son to try new things. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely order this again. - Dolsot Bibimbap - Again, the meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection. All of the ingredients were fresh and plentiful in the bowl. I ate every last bite and would definitely order this again as well. I cannot say enough how happy I am that we found this spot. The staff are attentive, warm and welcoming. The food has been consistently delicious. I would definitely recommend this spot and will be back again soon :)

Great local Korean, Japanese and sushi restaurant. They have a lot of Korean soups and stews, Japanese katsu and udons, and a great variety of fresh sushi/sashimi. The sushi was great, every piece. We've been a few times now and everything has been great thus far. This is a smaller restaurant so I'd only go with a group of 4-6 max, but I've seen larger groups there. If you don't want to park on Maple Ave, they have a parking lot in the back.
The dolsot bibimbap was ok. The stone bowl was hot and created a nice rice crust. However, the egg yolk was completely cooked through when it arrived at the table. Also, I was expecting this dish to be served with a chili sauce but it wasn’t. I had to scrape some from the banchan to give it some flavor. Service was slow because there was only one server. We did not get water refills and our table got too crowded because they did not clear away our empty dishes. They also forgot one of our dishes, it came out as everyone was finishing their food.

My husband and I love coming here as it’s close to us and a place where we can get both sushi and Korean food. My husband isn’t the biggest fan of sushi so it’s great that he has so many different options while I can get my sashimi, specialty rolls (I.e., Love Roll) or salmon avocado rolls. He loves their spicy stir fry squid, sundubu, or kimchi jjigae. Their bibimbap is also really good and when we want to splurge we would get the galbi. I’ve also come here by myself for lunch and get their bento boxes that they have Tues to Sunday 11:30 to 2:30pm and it’s such a great deal with the amount of food you get! I like how they also give you a house salad (their dressing is yummy) and miso soup with many of their dishes. Their menu is very extensive so it’s great for groups too as there’s a variety to choose from. The restaurant doesn’t have too many tables though, very cozy and it can get very busy during prime time so I recommend to come early for dinner or come on a weekday instead of a weekend if you can! There’s a good amount of free parking in the back. This is a family runned business so when it is busy, do have patience as they usually have two servers and they also manage a lot of to-go orders as well. They’re always very friendly when we go and we love sitting by the window. Highly recommend coming here!

Family dinner here was great, the restaurant was full on a Sunday night. Every dish had a unique aspect that sets it apart from other Korean and sushi restaurants. My favorite was the Love roll! Friendly service completed the experience.
