Our take: Maru Japanese Korean Cuisine presents a mixed bag, with some customers finding the hotplate BBQ chicken set ($6.80) to be quite palatable, noting a pleasant char.
However, the overall sentiment skews negative, particularly concerning their Japanese curry dishes.
Multiple reviews highlight the curry as diluted and inferior to ready-made supermarket versions, with one customer describing the beef as 'rubber band' and the chicken as 'rock solid' from apparent refrying.
Portions for the curry also seem to be an issue, with sparse ingredients compared to advertised images.
We'd approach Maru with caution, especially if considering their curry offerings.
The hotplate BBQ chicken might be a safer bet, but the inconsistency in food quality and service (including cashier confusion) suggests a brand still finding its footing.
A reliable everyday option, not a destination meal.
