Maki Yaki Sushi — Restaurant in Placentia

Remodel update: 04/28/2022

So I visited during the remodel. Clearly under new ownership again. Sushi chef is not a sushi chef. WAY too much rice in the sushi and fish is being cut so thin now that all you taste is rice. Have not gone back in months. And this use to be my go to place. Looking for better now. 11/05/2020 UPDATE! Under new ownership I'm guessing because they have really stepped up their game with the quality of food and service! They have lowered their prices significantly too! All you can each sushi is only $22.95 for lunch. What a deal! Way better quality sushi presentations too! Can't wait to go back again soon! FIVE STARS AGAIN!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Best Sushi around. Best deal with the all you can eat Sushi. Sushi is really fresh and I've never been disappointed since the new owners have taken over the place. I don't know what the other reviewers are complaining about. I've had nothing but good experiences while I've been there. Of course when the restaurant is crowded the wait for Sushi can seem long, but that's at any busy Sushi restaurant. Sushi chefs are very creative with their dishes and I think they're doing a better job than all of the other Sushi restaurants in town.... and I've eaten...

Had a really unfortunate experience here. I brought my boyfriend here for the first time remembering my past experiences being pretty good. Today, however was totally different. We sat down for AYCE sushi and were greeted and served drinks immediately. For the first round we ordered but when it came we recieved a roll that we didn't order and were missing our gyoza even though the sauce for it had been put on our table. For the second round we thought just to tack on 2 more to our order. After waiting for about 15 minutes, we see the first few plates we ordered being dropped on the table next to us. Even when the table informed the server they didn't order what was being put on their table, the staff allowed them to keep and eat our dishes. It wasn't until the last plate that our server Noah, realized his mistake and brought it over to our table. We mentioned that we saw our food be dropped off at the other table and our server was about to go "fix it" but by this time we were not willing to wait any longer and asked for our check. In addition to the poor service, the rice -the most basic ingredient for sushi- was either undercooked or not fresh. It had this...

Terrible, terrible, terrible experience! My husband had ordered the all-you-can-eat sushi and was told he can order any sushi from the first two pages of the menu and up to 4 orders at a time. The waitress had "demonstrated" how to order by writing on one of the sheets, but when my husband told her he wanted the all-you-can-eat sushi, she didn't provide a new sheet, but took his order which was from the sections she showed us on the menu. So we thought all was well. But when the bill came, we were billed for each individual sushi order my husband ordered. When he questioned it he was told it was charged that way because he didn't use the order sheet. This was very upsetting. Along with that problem, the wait time was ridiculous as well. I received my soup quickly, but my son and husband waited over 20 minutes and had to ask for the waitress to check on the order. She never checked on us. It appears if you want all-you-can-eat, be prepared to wait and wait and wait. Perhaps this is a ploy to wait until you're no longer hungry or just...
