maki house — Restaurant in Cuyahoga Falls

I'll start with the good. The service was friendly and the vibe of the place feels nice. Plenty of options between ramen, noodles, and rice dishes, with protein of your choice. However, the option I chose was not good. I got the bowl-style beef + vegetables, added egg and tofu.

beef: actually bad, like it seems very fake and off-putting vegetables: fresh and oily sauce: very sticky and sweet without much flavor tofu: good for what it was, but i would prefer not fried marinated egg: very nice, gooey and tasty

Better meat would make it way more worthwhile! A good melt-in-your-mouth pork makes a ramen, and this...

I tried a spicy roll and a tempura shrimp roll, while my friend ordered the gyoza dumplings. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The staff was friendly, and I was greeted by Jason, the owner, a nice personal touch.
