3.5 Star
Maru & Maru Sake Bar is a brand new restaurant that just opened along Yonge Street. When my friend walked by the other day after lunch, we not even sure they are open for business yet as no business hours is posted, but I decided to drop by on a Saturday early evening to check it out.
Bingo! The "OPEN" is ON! I am IN! Walking into a dark empty restaurant is a little intimating as I stood in the front with not a human being in sight.. Too early for some sake? Anybody Home??
Friendly waitress seated me at the table while I looked over the menu. Good selection of bottled Sake with some draft and beer selection. Cocktail though surprising limited..maybe since it is still Maru's Soft Opening. A temporary menu with some tapas and bar grab Japanese/Korean/Fusion Style and new permanent menu will be available soon.
Complimentary Spicy Tuna Sashimi with Chips was offered as snack. Free and Tasty!!! I love it!
Spicy Tuna Taco ($12) is nicely plated. Filling a little sparse(arugula, baby sprout, extra virgin olive oil,siracha mayo).. great as a snack.
I guess I have to come back with my other Yelp friends to sample more food and try some Soju cocktail and even sharing a bottle of Sake or 2??
* Weekday specials that includes $1 for 3 pc of Salmon Sashimi?!! I think I definitely will be back!
