Short Reviews: Maki

Small, elegant, and approaching perfection like a Faberge Egg or a tiny intricately carved wooden box, Maki serves authentic and delicious Japanese cuisine - no California Rolls here! The official menu is limited, but the list of daily specials is always large, so be certain to ask. They have a good selection of high quality cold sake (served in a small 175mm decanter with an ice-filled insert and decorated with an orchid blossom) and the luxurious lacquer-ware and other implements will make you feel like a Japanese Emperor. Try the Wappa-meshi dishes (like a simple steamed Chirashi) and the savory custard (chawan mushi) - even the miso soup is special (white miso, high quality ingredients, and unlike any miso soup youve had before). Not cheap, but absolutely worth every penny. Highly recommended
