Boston's $49 Japanese Buffet? Hard Pass. 🚫🍣

📍 Maki Maki 40 Cummings Park Dr, Woburn, MA 01801 💰 Dinner AYCE: $49 after tax 🌟 Rating: 4.2 (now I get why...) 🍽️ The Reality: ▪️ Endless Waiting ⏳ - Few servers, glacial food pacing. Got drinks after appetizers, mains after drinks... a chaotic "meal puzzle." ▪️ Repetitive Menu 🔄 - 20 dishes? More like 5 ingredients remixed (think: tuna roll → spicy tuna roll → tuna salad). Shanghai flashbacks to "eggplant + carrot + green bean: the trilogy." ▪️ Edible... But Why? 🤷 - Not bad, just... $49-for-this? mediocre. 🍣 Silver Lining: Sashimi was fresh-ish. That’s it. Honestly, for almost $50 per person, you’d expect way more—better service, more variety, and definitely faster refills. There are plenty of other spots around Boston where you can get better quality and more exciting Japanese food without the wait or the disappointment. Save your money and your appetite! 👎💸 #BostonEats #SushiFail #BuffetRegrets #NotWorthIt #OverpricedBoston #DiningDisappointment
