Maru 67 — Restaurant in Oxford

We were very excited to try this place out when we saw it on TikTok. Too bad the advertising didn't tell us it was not open yet. We called both numbers on the website and no answer and no voicemail. We were really disappointed to find out it did not open till later in the week.

That being said we came back opening weekend and the wait wasn’t horrible for us but everyone after us was 2 hours. Later I noticed they put a closed sign on the door and said open at 4pm.

Our table was wet when we were seated. We immediately were told the price was higher than 26pp and was 35pp since it was a Saturday. No where did we see it posted that lunch prices weren’t offered on the weekend and it wasn’t stated in their rules.

My food took over 45 minutes to come and the only thing on the conveyor belt was seaweed salad. I actually had to ask a waitress about the food and it turned out they missed the orders.

They did not have any diet options for drinks. The food options are pretty limited and they expect no modifications. The food was not very fresh and hibachi steak was pretty tough. They have open containers left on the tables with low sodium soy sauce, wasabi, and Ginger. It was gross. When you order a special order through the IPad on the table it comes out on a different belt over the rotating one. The food is placed on to a wobbly dirty plate that falls off and isn’t cleaned for you to grab the food from. We had to keep asking for more regular soy sauce and one time we were given teriyaki.

The men’s restroom did not lock and the women’s was very dirty. The fire alarm was flashing every 3 minutes and was certainly a medical hazard. It made eating very unpleasant as it kept flashing in our faces and other customers were also notably complain about it...

Absolutely love this place!!! This is an incredible all you can eat sushi + Japanese foods like noodles, dumplings etc. They have a great selection of beverages+ alchohol. Hot and cold sake, beers (some local and some Japanese) and wine, along with sodas. You can do all you can eat style and sit in a booth that is served by a roundabout conveyor belt! You can also order a-la-carte of everything on their menu with your own personal table ipad- this additional food is included in all you can eat- which will be delivered by a little robot right to your table on another conveyor system! The only extra costs not included in the all you can eat price is alcohol and desserts. The sushi and sashimi was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!! Super fresh and such melt in your mouth cuts of fish! (I did not personally try the noodles or dumplings offered this time around since we were sushi focused, but they looked amazing and everyone seemed to really enjoy them!) It looked like there were a few regular tables for seating in the restaurant, not attached to the conveyor system for non all you can eat options! We had such a fun experience trying this and will absolutely be back. Everyone was so nice and the food was standout delicious and fun!

We did have an hour wait on a Friday night at 6 pm (duh we expected this)- which was not big deal to us at all! Just go there put your name in at the front with your phone # and go shopping for a little bit or a bar in the plaza while you wait. There is no "stand up" bar to wait at inside,...

So my husband and I came over tonight to try the restaurant. When we entered there was a tablet in front of us that you could put in to wait to sit at a table around the conveyor belt. The host told us that there was a 2 hour wait to be seated at a table at the conveyor. He did tell us that we could sit at a table and that everything would be the same but a server would bring us the items we ordered instead. The host was incredibly kind and explained how things worked and the price of what we were ordering. On our first round of ordering the food came out super fast and was tasty and enjoyable. I love that the portions are small so you can try multiple items and not feel guilty for leaving something behind. The serving staff were so kind and welcoming and answered all of our questions efficiently and were able to let us know when a better time to come in was so we could enjoy the other aspect of the restaurant. Now unfortunately the downside is that they could greatly benefit from a reservation system. I understand that tonight is Valentine's day and a Friday but a 2 hour wait is kinda bonkers. Second they don't have an adequate "waiting area." People were standing at the ends of the conveyor touching the signs as they passed by and people were even waiting outside. I am very pleased with the staff, service, and food and look forward to my next visit. Thank you for an enjoyable meal and for having a...
