Maki Yaki

The best sushi I've ever had. The service is great. I've never had a bad experience in all the times I've been there - and that's a lot. This is probably my favourite restaurant in all of London.

makiyaki, hidden secret behind London's famous exhibition centers. at the heart of excel London. makiyaki, a fusion, new fun and innovative form of sushi with a Korean influence in it food. makiyaki has over 40 styles of maki yaki rolls made to order. so its hard to choose from with so much. the style is and taste of sushi is amazing and certainly a whole new experience. for two people we ordered 3 maki yaki rolls, and green tea (in their case roasted wheat tea), to finish off we shared an incredible fried ball of ice cream, which this is a must have for me, and i hate ice cream generally. the decor is heart warming and modernly dim, great for first dates if u want a quiet place to socialize. i now visit regularly with a takeaway menu i can tick off things ive tried, there isn't a thing i don't like to eat from this restaurant and i'm determined to try everything. in addition the service is exceptional as i feel like im VIP there because of the regular visits, it results in sometimes complementary makiyakis!!

First time dining at this gem. Can't speak on behalf of carnivores but as a vegetarian, this is the best sushi restaurant I have been to in London, hands down.

Friendly and efficient service, excellent food, lovely atmosphere.

Japanese restaurant with a Korean influence and the combination works really well. Highly recommend this restaurant. The food is excellent, portions sizes are good and cost is good. We enjoyed the Tuna and Garlic salad for starters and had a selection of maki rolls, baby dynamite and crunch are really good but to be honest so are the rest. Some of a hint of spice to them which really adds character. Sashimi is good and the salmon in particular is so creamy it leaves you wanting more. To finish off we had the plum wine which is really nice and mouth cleansing. A place to come back to without doubt.

Atmosphere is good and the staff are really helpful if you don;t know what you are doing ask them.

Just got home from a lovely dinner of 7 at Makiyaki and cannot be more impressed by the food and service here! The dishes were more than your typical sushi rolls that you would expect in most places...there is so much variety that we ordered a portion of a bit of everything!

Believe me when I say that EVERY dish was delicious, the soft shell crab rolls, Titanic rolls, Lambada rolls, Crunch rolls, sashimi...I can go on all night (but honestly I can't remember the names of all the dishes)! Each one was fresh, tasty and generous in size! Around 17 dishes shared between us and we were all extremely full and satisfied! Not overpriced, about £30pp for food and drinks. Also, one of our party ordered food to takeaway for his partner as he loved it so much!

As experienced sushi diners, we were all glad to have traveled that little further to Makiyaki's as it HANDS DOWN beats any sushi restaurant in the West End or London even. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be visiting (with an empty stomach and hungry friends) again!

This restaurant is wonderful. There are some dishes not to everyone's taste, but the choice is wide, and the food fresh and delicious. The service is okay, sometimes a little slow. The prices fairly reflect the food. There are plenty of places nearby to eat okay-ish sushi/maki at cheaper prices, this is something a little more special.

Love Maki Yaki in South Wimbledon. We have been coming here for years and the menu is packed full of interesting and exciting items its sometimes very hard to choose. The food is a taste sensation, always fresh and tasty. We took our 2 year old twins for lunch and the owners could not be more helpful and welcoming. We'll be back soon for more exciting Sushi and Sashimi treats very soon!

I have been an avid and constant fan of Maki Yaki for the last 2 and a half years, since first eating there. Having a incurable hunger for all things sushi i have been to places like Zuma and other 5 star restaurants that serve the highest calibre of Japanese cuisine. Maki Yaki excels itself in its very own way and i can honestly say i have never had sushi like it in my life. The variety and combination of flavours and creativity is incredible. The service is acceptable and the price moderate to high. Problem is you want to eat so much more then normal to try everything is becomes costly.
