| - I came to Maru & Maru last week for a friend's birthday party. It was little confusing to find, but I just walked south on Yonge (It's cause there was a yonge street address and a northtown address...mans was confused!)
Anyways, after I found it, I saw my friends sitting right front.
The decor was nice, with interesting benches and dark blue lighting.
I was kinda excited after looking at the menu, because a lot of the things seemed innovative.
I ended up ordering the
1. Beef Tataki - I found this a bit too cooked and stale. Usually its thinly sliced and super blue, but this was completely cooked to almost a medium. The beef had a weird taste to it too. I dunno, I felt let down.
2. Takoyaki - This was great. Fresh raw octopus dressed in like a lemon wasabi vinagrette, which was awesome. Super fresh tasting and yummy, it was served with nori sheets and tostitos.
Notes:
We were there on a wednesday night, and we were the only table there...but I found the service to be quite bad. When I got there, my friends had already ordered..so it was super hard for me to place an order.
Many times I felt like I was looking at the server directly in the eye as she stared back at me, but she never acknowledged me. Mans wanted to order some drinks!
I dunno, it was a nice place, but the food was so-so and the service kinda really sucked. Doubt i'll be back here.
