The most amazing place. The Diablo Gyoza was the most delicious I have ever had. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere delightful. You will absolutely love. Thank you so much for the incredible service and hospitality. Aerylle was amazing and offered fabulous suggestions. Definitely ask for her. Thank you again!!

Me and my girlfriend went here for our one year and it was delicious and amazing. Definitely the best sushi place in Anderson if you’re willing to cough up the money!

Wonderful place to eat! Downtown Anderson, relaxing atmosphere, all the feels... My husband got the shrimp tempura roll and I got the Charleston roll- both were delicious, as well as the beef lettuce wraps our waitress recommended we try. We enjoyed the food very much and can't wait to return! Our waitress was very attentive and very nice. The restaurant had a clean feeling, and so did the restrooms.

The food is very good, but the service is great! We had the Tiger roll (excellent), the surf and turf roll (very good) and the New York strip with red mash and vegetables (I would order it again). We followed it up with marble creme brulle cheesecake. Shay is an absolute delight as a server! If we come through again, I would ask for her. The tables on the sidewalk could affect wheelchair access.

We had a great time at our date night at MaKi sushi! I ended up calling in advance about my allergens and the team was really great about making sure that there was no cross-contamination with dairy or peanuts (none present in the facility) during our visit. One of the owners even followed up with me after our trip to make sure we had a great experience in terms of allergens. Would definitely recommend!

Maki Sushi is an at least one time a month dinner for me. From the service to the atmosphere to the amazing food, you won’t find anything better! My go to is the Dynamic Salmon as the main course and you’ve got to try The Ranger Roll!!

Came in to celebrate with a friend and the service, food, and atmosphere was absolutely fantastic! Jay was our server and he was attentive, kind, and well educated on the menu both food and wine/liquor wise (I believe he may also be a bartender). Ordered the calamari, dynamite (dynamo) gyoza, friend vegetable tempura, fried shumai for apps absolutely fantastic especially the sauce that came with the calamari. Ginger salads (add the sauce from the dynamo gyoza). Spicy salmon roll, spicy tuna roll, Rambo roll, and the special kimono roll. For the adventurous eater get the sea urchin nigiri for a fresh exact taste of the ocean! Medium rare strip steak with teriyaki sauce, mushroom risotto, and brocollini was an absolute SHOW STOPPER a totally unforgettable plate. Finish with the ube cheesecake! Paired with two Buddha buttons, a glass of cab and one of their fantastic fruity cocktails
