Maki-San — Restaurant in Lower Merion Township

UPDATE NOVEMBER 2022: BYOB BYOB BYOB!!!! Went there with some family the night before Thanksgiving. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service was great. There were several occupied tables in the main room and a few hibachi tables too. Food came out timely and hot. We had both Chinese and Japanese dishes. The boneless spareribs were so juicy with great flavor. The shrimp tempura was crunch and perfect. The salad with ginger dressing was crisp and delicious. The sushi boat was amazing! Very fresh and lots of fun! Ant the ice cream and spumoni desserts made for a great ending!

Grabbed a quick takeout dinner. The containers were so heavy they were full to the top. Chicken & Broccoli: Lots of chicken and perfectly cooked broccoli. The sauce was really tasty. The eggplant was delicious. I'd probably ask for it spicy next time. Look forward to trying other dishes there. They also serve Japanese food (they have hibachi tables) and also sushi there so I'll try...

I’m agreeing with one of the commenters here but also the top comment as well. So I’m giving it a 2/3. The only food we like and can order from here are their lunch specials. The prices are way too high (from the previous owners as they were my favorite of all time Shangri-La Inn), and I hadn’t brought a meal home I liked or even ate. Also trashed it. Except the Chinese lunch specials. We come back for that. They are actually delicious! But sushi - no go. Regular meals - big meals I haven’t tried. The egg rolls were dry before but the last time it was fine. And yes, the miso soup also was disgusting. I believe they are entering new territory and have to deal with customers who are used to lower prices and totally different food. If they amp up their sushi quality, and miso soup, we might be open to trying larger size meals. For now, lunch...

Fast and friendly serive, Average food, not worth the price. I ordered Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura Udon ($20) and Spicy Tuna Roll ($9)

Tempura Udon 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 was not cripsy even though it came right out of the kitchen. The sauce wasn't really suitable as a dipping sauce for tempura - i think it's just soy sauce. The udon was nice and hot, but not really flavorful.

( Honestly i was expecting dry cold udon with tempura, so i was kinda of thrown off getting a hot soup with udon in it)

Spicy Tuna rolll 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑 I couldn't taste the fish as it was blended with too much spicy mayo sauce. The protion was small and the rice wasn't tightly wrapped around the sushi. I do not recommend.

Would not recommend for their tuna roll. Their Hibachi looks pretty nice with the indoor dining but i didn't get a...
