  • My friend noticed that a new Korean/Jap restaurant has set up in this plaza, so we decided to try it for her birthday. The ambiance was hip & trendy, and seemed like a great place to go drinking. For our group of 5 (+ a toddler), we ordered the large Tako Hanpan, cheese tonkatsu w/ rice, and beef udon. The Tako Hanpan was definitely the star of the show. We were in awe when we saw the platter. The set came with tako nabe (hotpot), takoyaki, tako wasabi, hoe-muchim (spicy sashimi salad), fried chicken, korokke, california roll, and egg omelette. It was large enough to be shared with 4-5 people, and with the cheese tonkatsu, we were left stuffed with leftovers. To start, the nabe (3.5) had skewers of fish balls, octopus, tofu, tofu puff, sliced pork, fish cake, fish siu mai, mushrooms, and radish brought together in a dashi broth. The pieces of octopus were absolutely tender, and the rest of the ingredients were cooked well. However, it is more 'healthy-tasting' as a whole b/c of the light broth & seasoning. This can be a good thing if you wish to balance out the heavier sides, such as the fried chicken and korokke. As for the add-ons (4.5), they were all very well executed. The fried chicken had a nice crunch to it but still remained juicy & tender on the inside. The korokke & takoyaki were also crispy with a savory mashed filling. The diced salmon in the hoe-muchim was fresh, and its spiciness, along with the tako wasabi, were stimulating to the palate. As for the sushi & egg omelette, they were quite standard but good nonetheless. In terms of the cheese tonkatsu (3.5), it came w/ a bowl of rice, a potato, yam chips, and a side salad. I liked the salad as it was citrus-y so it balanced out the heaviness of the tonkatsu; the yam chips were tasty as well. However, the tonkatsu themselves were a bit too dry even with the cheese. The sauce complemented it well though and it wasn't greasy. Overall, Maru has shown a lot of potential; I will definitely be back to try their pork feet hanpan. However, they need to hire more servers; there were only 3-4 of them on a Friday night so it was hard to flag them down.
