Maki Toki

"Tried this place multiple times in hopes that the first day was just an off day. The food is not of good quality and honestly the food tends to have a sour taste as if it is no longer good. Also the texture of the mochi was completely off the ice cream was soupy and the mochi itself was falling apart."

"Honestly one of the worst meals I’ve ever eaten. I’m not sure the restaurant owner has any idea what “tempura” means. Or “katsu”. Or “sushi” for that matter. I ordered a tonkatsu bento. Even the rice was awful: it was freaking *minute rice*. Yes, that’s right, a 22 dollar “Japanese” meal came with instant rice, and it wasn’t even shortgrained rice. Instead of katsu sauce, it included some rank pink sauce (NOT yumyum sauce, as I had initially hoped). Instead it veggie tempura, it came with three pieces of oily fried vegetables with no panko anywhere on them. The katsu itself was also foul, drenched in old oil and breaded in some stuffy, dense garbage instead of panko. Even the California roll managed to be pointless, though perhaps that was due to not even coming out with wasabi. And the prices? Like, I can’t cut them a break, I paid 30 dollars for lunch with a soda. The only way you’re hitting that 10-20 dollar range the google page claims is if you just order miso soup and don’t leave a tip. Abysmal. I hate to be so negative but there was ***nothing*** redeeming about this. Not a single decent item."

"Shared the love boat sushi platter and was served by Tima. She made the experience absolutely AMAZING and so memorable. So worth it. We’ll be back!"

"I’ve seen this restaurant often when going to Walgreens at W Braker and Metric and FINALLY ate there for an early lunch today. What a smart decision! I had the soft shell crab appetizer (I was raised on The Eastern Shore of VA and I know good crabs!) and yellowtail tuna nigiri. Each dish was perfect. Crab was crispy, non oily, with that sweet white interior you crave and included lovely asparagus - an unexpected extra in an appetizer. I guess when you order a certain amount you are given a free miso soup, and the soup was steaming and so flavorful. I could not finish it and when given my to go container they had topped up my soup to a full bowl! What a gracious and surprising touch. The menu is extensive and I plan to bring friends and family to delve into more yumminess. This is a hidden jewel and I’m sure the only reason there were only a few of us is because I arrived at opening time. I highly recommend!"

"Maki Toki was the first restaurant I tried sushi at and I will never need to try anywhere else. My mind was blown beyond expectations with the selection of sushi available, the amazing customer service, and the high quality sushi that is served. This is one of the best family owned restaurants in the Austin area and not just when it comes to sushi. Our server Tima has provided excellent and thorough service for us time and time again. My favorite aspect of Maki Toki is how beautifully the food is presented on every occasion AND they have the best tasting/strongest margaritas you can find."
