| - If you couldn't gather by the name of the restaurant, you may choose the ingredients you will receive in your sushi rolls at Maki My Way, which includes the meat, toppings, sauce, and veggies. This sounds interesting in theory, but the ingredients tend to stay pretty safe (crab, chicken, masago, celery, shoyu, and so on and so on). There are random options, like mango, for example. What exactly would mango pair with?
But to each their own. When my girlfriend and I eat sushi, we usually order quite a high volume. That being said, we went with a medium platter where you get five rolls and eight pieces of nigiri. When we asked if the platter included the create-your-own option (since they also have pre-made rolls you can choose from), the kid taking our order become befoozled and had to check with the manager. Are we the first ones to have ever asked that...? The manager complied with our wish, and on we proceeded. I don't even remember what I ordered now because it just tasted like a pretty generic California roll.
Many other Yelpers seem to be raving about the fantastic service here, including those with recent reviews. We must have been dining in when someone called in sick or something and pissed everyone off, because it was slow and most of the staff seemed agitated. We sat at a dirty table (since there were no vacant clean options) and waited. The food seemed to be brought out relatively quick, although I had to go up and ask for waters more than once. The actual construction of the sushi was sloppy, and kept falling apart when I attempted to pick up the pieces. The rainbow roll was particularly cumbersome, as the fish topping the rolls kept slithering off. Quality was average.
The sushi was originally brought out on this enormous tray. When we couldn't quite finish the food, I went up to ask for a little container. She literally wouldn't give me one, only offering a big, plastic lid to snap over our platter. There were little containers all over the counter, so what the hell? What was she expecting us to do, carry that giant ass platter on the subway and bus for the 45-minute ride back to the hotel?
The concept is interesting, but it's totally not that fun. If you're considering here for a date, try making your own sushi at home. It'll be more fun that way, and you can have fun destroying your own sushi rolls together, laughing it off. Plus making out is more acceptable at home than in public and you can't really even go to first base in public without at least getting stared at.
