Pros: Great collection of sushi Super tasty Some additional Korean dishes too Cosy sitting Freshly made A lot of options for fussy kids too Cons: Not big enough for a big group(book pls) The website isn’t uptodate Basic interior and exterior
Best sushi restaurant in Epsom. Lots of choices.
I’ve genuinely been raving about this restaurant to all of my friends and I finally got to go again, it’s very quickly becoming my favourite restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious, affordable and clearly very authentic, the staff are very polite and appreciative of your patronage, and the restaurant is beautifully decorated — I will definitely be going again when I get the chance.
This is the best Japanese restaurant I’ve ever been to in the UK. The menu had a lot of interesting options. All the dishes I ordered came out very quickly and tasted so good. I will definitely come back to try everything here. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in town.
Regular customer for many many years. My whole family all love the dishes from edamame to rolls. This is the best sushi place in the area. I am a sushi lover and have tried so many others even in Asia but Makiyaki is one of the best for rolls. They have varieties, good quality and good value, that is why I keep going back. Definitely recommended! Must try rolls!
On the contrary to some of the other reviews.. Where do I start? I have so many good points to make about this place. I used to go for lunch here with my baby daughter (materinity leave) in 2015 and back then I was so impressed by the freshness, the portions, the cleanliness and Jay (the owner, down to earth and warming service skills). It's always very quiet and clean so this automatically gives you a nice ambience. Fast forward to now, whilst most establishments have gone downhill after covid, Makiyaki went up several levels. They updated the decor (gorgeous), their crockery is very up market and their sauces that are drizzled over the sushi is fantastic. Jay the owner is extremely humble and polite and is a great chef and puts his all into everything his does. Alongside him, his wife also runs the restaurant. She is very efficient and conscientious about every detail. It's nice to see a restaurant go from strength to strength and their dishes are worth every penny. Recommendations are: scallop Volcano, scallop crunch, Gyoza (very fresh), England, Spider and kingston roll. I have lots of other favorites but the new addition is their pancake desert. Wow.. Thank you for always delivering an excellent experience and of course we shall be back.
Favourite sushi place we've been going to for nearly a decade! Their lunch offer was great value and have wide sushi selection for everyone to enjoy on their menu! Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Their ice cream tempura is my all time favourite dessert and a must try! Can't recommend this cozy restaurant enough!
This is a gorgeous Japanese restaurant in Epsom.... I was greeted when I walked in... Sat down at a well-dressed table in a beautifully decorated restaurant.. The food, service, AND atmosphere were ALL absolutely PERFECT!
