Maguro House

I love this place for sushi I haven’t tried any of the other meals there yet but the sushi is top notch and reasonably priced. The sushi is very high quality and fresh and is made fairly quickly.

Miso soup fine, large portion
Salad, not appetizing, icky dressing
Seaweed salad too sweet, but looked and tasted okay
Idaho Roll chewy, not attractive
Spicy Salmon Roll fair, not attractive or tight
Unagi Roll not attractive or tight, tasted good
Service fine, décor fair
Maybe I’ll give them one more try, but they were not very busy on a Saturday night.

VERY understaffed, waited a good hour to get our food… Only one person making sushi and one waitress who disappeared in the back room for a while.

It is worth it if you are just looking for a quality, quick, sit down sushi dinner.

Great food horrible service incredibly long wait times! Came in for dinner tonight the restaurant was dead. We ordered our food and it took 45 minutes just to get our appetizers! After an hour and 10 minutes we got our food and that’s when we were informed they were out of one of the ingredients for one if our rolls! Mind you we also had 2 small children with us! The sushi tasted fresh but I would not recommend coming if you are pressed for time!

Terrible, I tried the sushi as well as the ramen soup, both did not taste as the should have. As if they reheated the meal. I saw the chef drop a utensil through the curtain and I am unsure of where that ended up but I know my stomach hurt til the next afternoon. I would have broughten the taste up with the manager but I had gotten the order to go. I went with my friend in january and had terrible service from an older woman. She rushed my friend and I to order quickly, although it was our first time there. I think we ended up getting the 50pc sushi or something like that to split. I wish they put that much raw fish on ice, as it would go bad as we ate at our own pace. The octopus was very rubbery as well. Overall very disappointed both times with everything :(

Going back for more!
Just moved to the area and I’m psyched that there’s a good sushi place nearby. We picked it up to go, but the rolls were solid, well made, well balanced and really good.

Love this place, however, yesterday (sept 1, 2013) I tried to place a to-​go order there for lunch, but couldn’t. No one was answering the phone after 12pm, answering machine said nothing about being closed, their website said they were open. Decided to just swing by anyways and found a note on the door saying they wouldn’t be opening until 5pm.
Again, I love this place, but I ask, please update your answering machine and website if there is an hour change.

Went for first time tonight with my son, thought we would try it to compare against Ichico Ichie also in Franklin as well as Sake Bom and Tenchi Sushi in Bellingham.
Pretty disappointed. Restaurant seemed quiet to point of being dead — it was perhaps 25% full — and we were seated in a darkened area with the overhead lights turned off. I mentioned this to another table seated in the same place who was actually using their phones flashlight app to read the menu! Thankfully someone apparently overheard us and turned the lights on. Really? Half the place’s lights are off at 6PM on a Saturday?
Ordered Edamame and Kimchi for apps. Edemame was fine, came out in 5 minutes. Kimchi was OK, but took 15 minutes after the Edemame to come out and I had to ask what had happened with it. why??? Kimchi is fermented cabbage and is cold — it has no preparation that I’m aware of.
Server was nice but I think was a local Dean college student. She didn’t know any of the menu, seemed awkward. Was this a problem? Yes. We ordered sashimi by name (Maguro, Unagi) and she didn’t understand any of it, so we had to follow with the English description and even point out the items on the menu. My son asked for Tobikko and even said «Flying Fish Roe», but he got (the weirdest looking thing) «Egg Omelet Sushi» which is actually the «Tamago». Again, on a Saturday night at prime time, your servers should actually be familiar with the food they are serving.
We had a couple of rolls (Alligator, Boston roll) and several Nigiri — Maguro, Sake, Unagi plus a Tako (Octopus) and Hokkigai (Surf Clam). They were all OK, but none really good. I would suggest that the freshness and quality of the ingredients wasn’t what possibly could have been.
At the end of the meal my son and I looked at each other and discussed if we enjoyed the meal, and agreed we really didn’t. Nothing was horrible, but not really good either, and I’ve found that Sushi that isn’t really good is kind of a poor dining experience.
