    Bit over priced. Was originally cheaper when they first opened but prices have been steadily increasing. There is not very good vegetarian options and the staff find it hard to understand what you are saying, especially if you try to customise an order. In saying this, the canned drinks are reasonably priced, so if youโ€™re in the area for other food, youโ€™re best bet Iโ€™d to get a drink from here. $1.50 for coke range.

    Recipe was decent, and price was okay. Things are not as freshly cooked as in other similar competitors. Chicken a little soggy, meat a little cold, rice a little cold and dry. The food did come out in 2 min, so if that's what you are after, it's okay. As average as it can get.

    Delicious Asian food on the go! The crunchy salad you get as an accompaniment is delicious. Super fast and recommended

    I always eat at the main maru restaurant at elizabeth but sadly im in a hurry so i decided to have a take away at this little maru at adelaide its good but somehow feel sad about the extra KIMCHI which is 2 dollars worth put in a very TINY take away container even an infant would not fill its STOMACH ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… i wonder the main maru was giving triple the size of it for free and this little maru sell at 2$???? I know i have to pag but the price is a rip off! Check for the attached photo of the container and be the judge๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃmaybe thats what little maru stands for? A spicy dosirak would cost u 18$ at the main and this is 16.30$ what a rip off

    Signature bowl was very tasty. Good value with variety of meats in one tasting bowl: chicken, pork, beef; with rice and glass noodles. Can recommend!

    Little Maru Adelaide is a cozy takeaway restaurant at the corner of Adelaide and Edward street (next to 7Eleven). The menu provides a decent variety of dishes, and the Signature Cup Rice is particularly tasty. The prices are also quite reasonable.

    First time trying Korean food it was delicious. I got the spicy fried chicken with spicy mayonnaise and teriyaki sauce. Everything is on point. they have a lot going on in their with different ingredients. On a sidenote, they wonโ€™t accept American Express .

    Remarkable little takeaway. The ordering system is very efficient and the food is all quite fresh. You'll be full afterwards I can assure you. A favourite if you just want something quick, easy and tasty. Prices are good too.

    Availed an additional 3$ for the Large premium Wagyu meal, but you only get few strips of meat and block of old rice.

  • 5/5 Amila G. 1 year ago on Google
    The spicy pork rice bowl was really good. The portion was plentiful as well

    Such wonderful staff! Have been going here for a few years and quality never disappoints. Friendly staff and generous portions!

    Fast friendly service, food came out fast and was delicious. Ten times better than the takeaway donburi at the sushi shop.

  • 1/5 Hh Y. 1 year ago on Google
    We really craved little Mary for dinner, but it was close to closing time, 7:30pm, we decided to go anyway. We kind of walked and ran for 15mins, made it there at 7:13pm, the staff told us the kitchen is closed at 7:10pm. No more sale after that. Only 3mins! So why is your open time says at 7:30pm at the shop and on the website. Itโ€™s very misleading and poor customer service.

  • 5/5 Adina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice people working here, and Iโ€™ve heard of their signature cup of rice, three types of meats in one dish! Boneless chicken is perfect option, could not find anywhere boneless fried chicken to be honest.

  • 5/5 V F. 9 months ago on Google
    The food is cheap and a large serving. You get a good amount and variety of food for your money. I got the fried chicken bowl but added sweet chilli sauce. The spicy mayo is very spicy so be warned. Overall super delicious, new favourite spot!!!

    Found an insect in their food. When I informed them about the issue they said that there are chances that itโ€™s from outside.

  • 3/5 Daniel S. 7 months ago on Google
    Have enjoyed Little Maru once or twice each week for 6 months now, however even though I ask for extra sauce, and paying 50c cents more each time, this is what you get. Think its time to find a new fav

  • 1/5 Lily L. 5 months ago on Google
    The food and the price are good so I am pretty much satisfied. But I was disappointed with the customer service today. When I tried to confirm my order, the staff seemed annoyed, pointing at the menu in an unfriendly manner. Also, when my food arrived, she was impolite. I donโ€™t like to get order from her due to her behaviour.

    2nd time, I tried Fried chicken and it was very good taste. I have now become fan of Little Maru

  • 4/5 tejkiran m. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow Man, I just took Spicy Pork Cup rice for lunch, Order was super fast, delivered super super quick in less than 2 mins. Tastes very nice and will definitely go to taste other items in the menu. Staff very polite.

  • 5/5 Darcy G. 1 year ago on Google
    Speedy and delicious korean food. Spicy fried chicken bowl is well rounded and comes with salad, glass noodles and rice. Chicken and chips is a tasty budget option

  • 5/5 absolut Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I like Maru Korean restaurant. Just trying the little Maru for a quick lunch. It was very good, fast and good value. Tasted very. Staff were very friendly. There are two tablets you can order and pay at the counter to speed it up. Few seats there if you choose to eat in. Great location. Only hoping they opened 7 days a week or longer hours. But for now it will do.

  • 1/5 Lee G. 4 years ago on Google
    food is great during the daytime. night time chef can only cook 1 item at a time. waited 45mins for chicken fried rice. never got the order waited 45mins and asked for a refund. and there was only 1 other customer who ordered 1 item.

  • 5/5 David S. 4 years ago on Google
    OMG this place has the best fried chicken you will find in the CBD. On top of which, the ordering and delivery system is faster than a packed out postal service. I can wholesomely recommend it to any meat eater and would include a photo of my signature bowl which includes a variety of meats and rice. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฟ

Easy self-ordering system & the mayo chicken is so delicious & plentiful. Great value! They were running a shop opening special through the whole of June 2019, not sure whether it will still be on in July but for $8.20 you get a pretty good Korean lunch. Definitely recommended. Heaps filling and really convenient if you work in the city.

    2 Korean style rice to choose from, cup rice or bibimbap. And then you choose your choice of meat. I prefer bibimbap as it has more vegetables. Quick, delicious, healthy and cheap. At $8.20, this is the best food you can get in the city. No complaint for this food at this price.

  • 4/5 Kristy R. 4 years ago on Google
    small shop with only 4 seats. you can get rice bowls here and they have a vegetarian option. it's takeaway plates and cutlery only so be mindful if you're trying to reduce waste. you can also order on ipads if there is a line. prices are quite reasonable. I got my bowl for under $10.

  • 5/5 Reuben C. 4 years ago on Google
    WARNING: Highly addictive food here. So good we had it twice in a row. Rice is spot on, and whatever that crisp juicy kelp noodly stuff was, wow! It was amazing.

  • 4/5 Haritha J. 3 years ago on Google
    I got the spicy mayo chicken cup rice to go, the staff were quick and efficient with little wait time. I love that their menu is small and easy to choose from. The only reason why I gave 4/5 is the rice quantity and the chicken pieces seemed too fried for my liking. If you like thick battered fried chicken then you might not have a problem. Otherwise the rest of the ingredients go really well together, filling meal.

    I am in love with the delicious, easy, quick meal they provide it here. This is my second visit ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ˜. Generous portions I believe for a reasonable price. You can kill your hunger and satisfy your tummy and taste buds. They are dedicated to customer satisfaction is what I absorbed from my visit there. It's busy and bustling because of the great quality of food,quick service and food portion. It offers takeaway or you can enjoy the food just there. I am absolutely going to drop here every now and then.๐Ÿ’ƒ
