    The food is amazing and the so is the service, i tried the wagyu steak and chicken udon noodles, both were amazing and tasty, its definitely worth visiting this place, the only thing this place lacks is decor, its very basic and nothing speical, but not bad 4/5 for decor. Food is 5/5 and so is service.

    Wow! This is one of the best place in Kuwait for Morning and evening walks. There is a Hard Rock Cafe and lot's of Coffee KIOSK until the Kuwait Scientific Center. The Mix beach of Sand and Rock, fishing allowed. You can also picnic here as long as you maintain the cleanliness of Beach. There is also Marina Mall adjoining to this Beach.

    The best location on the gulf of kuwait, that's all . Nothing more worth it about this place which used to be the place if you want Japanese food. The ambience is like you are in a mall's food court. The staff is polite . Food is pathetic, mayonnaise and spicy myo filled fried food , the sushi is an insult to the cuisine. Over priced for the quality. Not worth it. What a pity.

    Overpriced and the taste is not reached my expectations. Some dishes taste same, salty and a little sweet. They cooked very slow, only one table when we were there, but on our table never exist two dishes at the same time. Besides, the light inside is too dark, need to adapt. But the location is perfect, you can enjoy sea view outside.

    This is the best contemporary Japanese restaurant I have ever been to and I have been to many. Amazing experience, staff very competent and friendly, food was fresh and delicious! My favorite was the hamachi nigiri, out of this world! Staying in Kuwait for a week, will be going every day!! 👌👌👌

    Amazing views. Very underutilised. The restaurants there attract customers because of the views. In many way disappointing but still worth a visit, especially during the colder months when you can enjoy a warm drink while taking in the views and the sun.

    Excellent sushi restaurant in Kuwait. It's a good address for fine dining. I give it a half Micheline star. It has the potential to have a complete one.

  • 5/5 ali A. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m in love with maki forever best food and sushi’s

  • 4/5 Jorge P. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is great but the service is mid level. The best part is the terrace but it is not open for lunch service.

  • 3/5 D N. 2 years ago on Google
    Portions are smaller than before but the pricing is the same. It’s good “Kuwaiti” sushi with sauces and such. The variety is still massive, good for picky eaters and people who don’t like seafood. I loved Maki for the larger portion sizes and cheap salmon sashimi but that’s no longer the case

  • 4/5 Mona S. 2 years ago on Google
    I didn’t give them 5 stars because the price was high,.. but the food is Really Good,..!

    The food was good the service was not, busy or not they need to have either a better standard or staff that makes sure you leave satisfied. An apology is too generic

  • 3/5 Fernandes M. 2 years ago on Google
    The Avacado salad and Isa Maki were as good as ever. What was not great, was the way greeting was done on entering. As you enter you get an annoyed 'Yes?' Like your restaurant is off the Marina crescent. Did he think I was lost and just ambled in? Decided to move outside cos the weather was great but that was met with a 'let me see if there are any free tables' when clearly there were a couple or so through the glass. And the timing between courses was too long...at one time was just sitting looking at the table. Seriously, need to update the attitude and the service at this branch. 3 stars for the food and view.

    nice service and good food. only complaint is i asked them to remove sesame seeds from my food because im allergic to it, they didn’t remove it so well i had to change it again. other than that employees were nice

  • 4/5 Jad H. 1 year ago on Google
    I have to say, Maki over the 15+ years, they've really improved overall as service, food quality and even the menu. The menu is a little extensive in terms of the number of dishes though if you know what to order, it's amazing. Some dishes i recommend: shrimp gyoza, j-lo sashimi, salmon crab avo salad, lama roll, bader and lots more. They recently renovated the place, quick service and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Signore L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very peaceful..quiet..and nice staff..parked nearby and noticed that it had a slope so I didn't have to walk down a staircase..would recommend it especially in winter time..not bad in summer time too

  • 5/5 Safwan B. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely place to walk and jog.

  • 3/5 Sugary S. 1 year ago on Google
    The spicy salmon avocado salad we had to start was amazing. Probably one of the best salads I’ve ever had. The sushi dishes we got were decent, but not good enough to justify the price. I’d say that about the service as well. Although, I must admit the Marina Crescent location is great, especially on a nice day - one of the few good outdoor dining experiences in Kuwait.

  • 3/5 Juanita O. 11 months ago on Google
    I really liked the vibe and the view of the restaurant. Most of the food was exciting and something new to try. However, I've had better sushi at other restaurants. There were also long stretches of time that we had to wait for a waiter to arrive to help us.

  • 3/5 Ahmed K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food, very good service, very very expensive and overpriced. Also no place to park unless you're welling to pay for valet parking. Or you can park far and walk for 5 minutes.

  • 3/5 The Honest R. 5 months ago on Google
    Food is ok. I don’t pick the sushis and salmon sashimi here as the best but I will recommend the bao. Everything is pricey. Worst is if you don’t dress well, staff won’t look at you since they prioritize Kuwaitis here.

  • 5/5 Brian W. 9 months ago on Google
    Went for lunch on a Saturday. Great food. All the food was amazing. Great new and different flavors. The staff clearly put in effort in every dish.

    This was a very delightful experience. The staff was professional, although I got treated as if I had no clue was sushi was at first, and the food was very good. I would definitely recommend this place since it’s the best sushi in Kuwait.

    Terrible management of Covid-19 situation. The place was fully packed with more than the required occupancy. Social distancing was impossible to control at entance and waiting area....its a small place. The temperature was not checked upon entrance. I was worried. They need to update the background music. Food was good.

  • 1/5 Saud S. 4 years ago on Google
    They exaggerate in mixing the sauces with the food , i ordered a salad which i could not feel any vegetable taste because of the sauce . Also i ordered a qiuona vegan sushi which a complete miss of vegetables . The chicken noodles : the chicken amount is soooo little in a way that you barely find it .....4'500 KD for a noodles with bits of chicken . The staff were almost friendly & the manager was over stressed & paniced . Its not profissional & unpleasent feeling when you are greeted by a manager whose forcing himself to act profissonal & acts rushly .

    First, the food was wonderful and it had a special taste to it, the food was presented in the most excellent way possible. The Salmon sashimi was on point and the sushi was delicious. This was a wonderful experience and I would definitely come back. From Georges Awad and Ramiya Kamil El-Bejjani and their son, Gio Awad

  • 4/5 Daniel Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Beauriful view of the sea. With amazing japanese sushi cuisine. In door and out door seating. The only draw back is the distance from parking to restaurant. But on a nice evening the walk is well worth the time and after a nice meal gets your digestion going.
