Used to enjoy the ramen at Maki’s, unfortunately the quality of food and service at this visit is ridiculously disappointed. Food portion is a lot less than it used to be, the meat is not fresh, look and taste like leftovers. Staff was nothing related to friendly and welcoming, didn’t ask nor bring tap water, didn’t check in during meals, impossible to acknowledge my needs and avoiding eyes contact with me when I tried to ask for some water, and having the audacity to adding service charge while there’s no standard service provided is just disappointing.

It's a small place that functions like a beehive. The number of seats is limited and you'll always find a queue outside with rapid turnover. People queue for a valid reason: the ramen here is heavenly. Perfect broth. Perfect texture. Rapid service and welcoming staff. The music volume is low, allowing for people to communicate and hear each other. I'd recommend without moderation.

Food was good for a chained Japanese restaurant. What I didn't like was the spacing of the restaurant, felt like I was dining with others but service was okay. Went back there couple of times mainly because of the food. Recommend the Katsu Rice and the Black Garlic Ramen.

Ramen is soooo good! Love Tonkotsu ramen the broth is so comfortin and the chashu pork tasted great and tender. Maki sushi here is also very good. One of the authentic Japanese restaurant you must try!

The black garlic tonkatsu noodles were good. Food was nice, however we felt observed and a bit forced to finish quickly (although there were other free tables). My kimchi bowl was taken away the instant I "almost" finished it. I say "almost" since I did not have enough reaction time to say "Not yet" but was forced to say "Yes" when the waitress asked if I was done. Otherwise, a nice place for Japanese cuisine.
