Santa Monica Food｜Flame-Seared Sushi & 9-Grid Sashimi Platter! 🍣🔥

Spent the weekend at the famous Santa Monica Pier in LA 🎡 People say the food scene around here is a desert 🌵—but I finally found a Japanese spot worth recommending! Reasonable prices, great flavors, and just a 5-minute walk from the ocean 🌊 【Maru Sushi & Ramen】 🌟 Flame Sushi – Yellow Volcano 🌋 $18.95 Spicy tuna + baked yellowtail—fire show included! 🌟 Super Dragon – $19.5 Full eel, shrimp tempura 🍤, avocado 🥑, crab 🌟 Sashimi Combo – The 9-grid platter! Great quality fish, super photogenic 📸 🌟 Baked Green Mussel – Buttery and fragrant, perfect starter 1️⃣ Shrimp Tempura – Crispy but not greasy 2️⃣ Hulk – Rice-free sushi with cucumber wrap, fresh and light 3️⃣ MARU Special Ramen – Signature rich bone broth—highly recommend! Maru Sushi offers great value, and the interior is beautifully decorated. The ceiling is covered with flowers 💐, the patio seating is magical at night, and the walls feature stunning cityscape murals. Plus, there are cute Japanese trinkets everywhere—very Instagrammable! Best of all—it’s open until midnight, perfect for late-night cravings! They have a wide selection of sake 🍶 and beer, with a strong Japanese vibe. Prices are much more reasonable than other sushi spots nearby—total bang for your buck! Have you been to Maru Sushi? What’s your favorite late-night spot in Santa Monica?
