Working near the Annex, there is no shortage of sushi joints in the area. My usual go-to lunch spot is New Generation but I find the quality inconsistent and often lacking, but that's for another review. As for Maido.. I was always hesitant to since they don't have as big of a specials menu as the others. Today, I finally decided to try it and called for a pick up (thanks to a fellow Yelper who'd posted their lunch specials menu!).
I got their lunch combo Maki A+B and chose salmon avocado, and yam tempura rolls.
Upon entering, staff was friendly and approachable. I was delighted to find their salmon avocado rolls with good amount of salmon.. couldn't go wrong with a classic choice. The highlight however was the yam tempura, I like how they use yam fries, made for crispier tempura and goes well in a sushi. My coworker tried it and remarked that it was still hot and not soggy. The combo comes with miso soup, which I find nicely seasoned.
So I'll say Maido is a solid choice if you're looking for cheap lunch options without sacrificing too much quality. For $9 (and that includes 13% tip) I was satisfied and planning to explore their menu.
