Great kinda hidden spot with quick service and delicious food. I appreciate that they're open late and I have been here a few times for late night sushi and noodles. I look forward to trying more off the menu. Ambiance kinda feels like eating at someone's home, in the best way. Will be back!

I love this place! Food is always great, they have a variety of traditional dishes you dont find anywhere. Ive been coming here for years and it never dissapoints.

Love that this place is open on Christmas Eve! We thought it would be super busy, but we were still able to call in like 30 min beforehand to make a reservation as we got on our way. The menu here is EXTENSIVE. A bad thing if you're not a big decision maker, but a great thing if you just want to order a bunch of random dishes for the table and try a bit of everything. I feel like the entrees are pretty fairly prices, but the appetizers seemed to be on the expensive side. Some stand outs for me were the Hokke fish, which was not dry at all and came with a delicious dipping sauce (although you have to pick out the bones yourself) and the Kabocha tempura. I would get the agedashi tofu again too, but I would want to eat it faster because if you let it sit in the sauce, the crispy outside gets all gummy. Whereas I don't think I would order the crispy shrimp with mayo again. It wasn't necessarily bad, but just not worth it and didn't really leave much of an impression on me when there were other things to be eaten. I also thought the kake udon was okay. The broth was just different than what I had expected - it was more like sour. The volcano roll itself was kinda eh but I liked the topping a lot.

The food is always good. I've been here so many times and I am addicted. Everything is so fresh and delicious. I love that the specials have variety, I always get to try something "unique" like monk fish liver which 1 was delicious and 2 I've never seen on a menu anywhere else. The staff is always AMAZING and so helpful and friendly. Definitely one of my favorite places to go to.

A Japanese restaurant that offers a very large and wide variety of items (from sushi, to curry, to hotpot, to ramen and more). There's also a separate menu that lists daily specials, so you'll never be lacking in choices to choose from. Service is great, the lighting is dim at night to give visitors a late-night comfortable meal (they close at 1am!) I would come here due to regularly craving their uni pasta (keeping in mind this is MP). The uni pasta is definitely my favorite dish: So soft, buttery and when you mix the uni with the Ikura (fish eggs) and angel hair pasta, you taste a dish of utter perfection. Occasionally I'll stop by for a quick udon soup, which is very comforting to eat at night. Not pictured - their grouper head is very flavorful and freshly served.

I've been here several times and it's become my favorite Japanese Izakaya type restaurant in Greater Fort Lauderdale. It's a small, casual space in a suburban shopping corner with loads of free parking. Marumi serves excellent sushi but the real unique standout is the rest of the large and varied menu. The sandwich-board specials menu doesn't change daily, but where else does a restaurant offer a variety of whole fish priced by the pound and cooked 3 different ways? Izakaya restaurants offer many shareable small tapas-like dishes. Sharing almost everything is the way to go here. (Don't share your soups. The Clear Mushroom Soup is deceptively deep with earthy mushroom flavors, and many of us order 2 bowls for ourselves!) The 5 Live Oysters are really super fresh on the half shell. The crunchy Wasabi Octopus will open up your nasal passages. The Crispy Needle Fish is also a great shareable appetizer. Eat the whole tiny fish, bones and all. Without a doubt, my favorite must-try recommendation is the Angel Hair Pasta with Uni and Ikura. I'm not even a big fan of uni (sea urchin), but this dish is fantastic. Rich buttery taste with Ikura (fish roe) to add a pop of seafood flavor, and a dab of wasabi for heat. Divine! There are so many menu items you can return 8 times and still have items you haven't tried but want to. Service has always been friendly and prompt. Alcohol is the weak point with room for improvement. The sake is very good, but there should be a larger variety at different sizes and price points. Ditto draft and bottled Japanese beer. The weakest link is the cheap Australian wines that do not do the food justice at all. Hopefully they can get help with that and expand their selection. Even with its weak points, Marumi is a fine and fun adventure in ethnic gastronomy, especially for around these parts.

THE BEST SUSHI PLACE EVER. It's a hole in the wall and when I tell you every time I go there is a line waiting to be seated. Everything that hit the table was epic, flavorful. There is nothing I haven't liked. And they're so reasonably priced. This is your sign, GO! Must save room for the banana tempura which is not pictured because I inhaled it.

I really like this restaurant. It's been years since i used to meet a girlfriend who lived nearby here for dinner. Having been here often way back when, I was surprised I hadn't done a review. But I guess it was before I was a yelp elite and didn't write reviews as much as I do now. We were joining two other couples for dinner. And I was thrilled when they selected this location. As we were a party of six and it was a Saturday night, they'd made reservations. They were packed! I'd highly recommend reservations for quick seating. This is one of the more authentic Asian restaurants. They have lots of items that the standard Japanese restaurant do not carry. In addition to their extensive regular menu, they always have a whiteboard with daily specials. Try to get something from this board, if you are a bit adventurous. We ordered two different fish dishes from the board -- a crispy needlefish (tiny whole fried fish) and a dish called kisu fish tempura. I had to google the "kisu" to find out what it was. Both fishes were delicious. The kisu had tail on but no heads. The crispy needlefish reminded me of fried baby smelts. In addition, my husband got some salmon sashimi. So fresh! And I ordered a shrimp and eggplant in miso sauce dish that was very very good. Our friends got an assortment of dishes from crispy bok choy to ramen; vegetable tempura to gyoza; enoki mushrooms with bacon; and a sushi roll. The only negatives I can recall was a bit too much mayonnaise topping on one of the sushi rolls. This is a unique restaurant to south Florida. And I'm so glad we got to try it again. Now if only they were closer to my residence as I'd be here much much more often. And I'm planning on returning soon.
