Maki — Restaurant in Salmiya

The food here is good and you'd enjoy it a lot if you are a fan of Japanese food. We ordered soup, maki rolls, negimiyaki, vegetable udon noodles, crispy tempura tacos and the spicy crabstick avocado salmon salad.

I haven't been to Maki since I was a child and I can definitely tell that their food changed. The salad seemed to lack a certain flavor that I remember from my childhood however it is still very good!

I would order the salad, negimiyaki, and the...

Maki is one of the restaurants that is uniquely Kuwaiti. It serves delicious Japanese Makis (exactly). I first tried Maki at Burj Jassim and I later visited 2 other branches: the Marina waves and the Avenues.

But now, it seems like the volcano has erupted and all that is left is a flat volcano. The rice roll overwhelms the teeny tiny volcano on top of it.

I would still eat at Maki in the future but the situation would be something like I am very hungry and I am...

I recently visited Maki Restaurant in Kuwait, and I was thoroughly impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of sushi and Japanese-inspired dishes that were fresh and full of flavor. The presentation of each dish was also beautifully done, enhancing the overall dining experience.

What made the experience even better was the staff—they were incredibly humble, attentive, and made sure that we were well taken care of throughout the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it perfect for both casual dining and special occasions.

Overall, I highly recommend Maki for anyone looking for a fantastic dining...
