Comment: A cute little place with very good quality food. The tempura was crisp and delicious with fresh seasonal ingredients. My only criticism is that there were very limited drink and dessert options (there was no tea and only basic ice cream and mousse were available for dessert)

Comment: Teriyaki steak, and 2 out of 3 spicy rolls were good. It may just be my American palate but I didnt care for the 3rd roll with red caviar, didnt taste fresh..but it could also be its just too strong for me Im new to Japanese food. Ginger served with my sushi was very crisp and fresh.

Comment: It was so good! I order sushi a lot and after trying many places i finally found a good one with great quality and freshness, even during these times. I will DEFINITELY be ordering again in the future and cant wait to see what else the menu tastes like. Only wish the dumplings sauce had hosin sauce in it but the dumpings were good, meat inside slightly dry to me but seasoned perfect, but probably dry from sitting for delivery, but good can tell it was freshly made... I get picky about dumplings but still good.

Comment: My girlfriend Chelsea and I have eaten sushi all over the East and Gulf Coasts. For standard-fare sushi, Maris Japanese Cuisine, nestled in the heights of Schenectady, cant be beaten. You may not find O-toro or yakitoris, but the rolls, dons, and green tea Tiramisu were delicious and carefully crafted. Maris is my inagural Google review; if that tells you anything, its that Maris is worth a visit!

Comment: I was just visiting with my girlfriend, she told me about this place. So why not, let me give a shot. Which I did and it was so amazing and the food as well. It’s not that expensive, you get big meal for good price. I had the spicy Ramon and it okay spicy but the food was so good.

Comment: I was surprisingly pleased with my early weekday (sushi) lunch in this stand-alone restaurant, with an unassuming and barely distinctive exterior. As the attentive server escorted me to the 7-seat sushi bar (photo) - I found the interior was also minimally decorated, but good news! the giant TV was only visible from a private side area.I was presented a menu without photos, of which I always approve, but on the other hand, waribashi and paper napkins are their standard for lunch. Although the sushi selections were not that extensive, I was able to order a couple of rolls and a few nigiri, as usual, following a satisfying soup.The plating of the main was simple and unadorned, (photo) but competent, with excellent wasabi. I wont say freshly ground today, because I didnt watch the personable chef grind it right in front of me. But very good, and extremely spicy.The nigiri was good, with the sweetened tamago clearly rolled, not egg cake/frittata and the ikura and hamachi both very fresh. Also, individual nigiri had a small dab of wasabi under the fish, a step often omitted by chefs here in the Capital Region. The only mistake on the plate was the unagi - charred carbon black edges during reheating, and unfortunately, the chef still served them.Both maki were much smaller than I normally expect, but very well done. The spicy hamachi was surprisingly very spicy, and the pleasant unagi cucumber satisfied.Overall, I was happy with my lunch, and I will most definitely return soon.2019 06 28. S 16.

Comment: Decent quality food. Sushi is of good quality and the rolls are well prepared. The portions are on the smaller side for the price and the rice bowls are a little too heavily sauced for my tastes. Service is quick and not too overbearing. Good atmosphere and comfortable chairs. Multiple parking spaces around the building both in front and around to the side. One of the better Japanese places in the area 9/10

Comment: You know that secret place your friends take you to, thats hidden in plain sight, because its so unassuming? This is the Japanese version of that place. Maris is definitely not the fanciest place in the Capital Region, but thats offset by the extremely friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and deliciously well made Japanese food. Im a big fan of their ramen, shumai, and various sushi rolls. But if Im honest, pretty much everything Ive ever ordered there is simple and yummy.

Comment: I bring, my daughter to this place all the time. They are great with little kids. They have a special kids bento box, with a special prize, sushi, chicken and salad. Its healthier than a happy meal, but it makes my daughter just as happy. For myself I order something different every time and Ive never been disappointed. Try it!

Comment: This little place surprised my friends and me when we went out to the middle of nowhere the restaurant is located in. The place is run by a Japanese couple, and serves authentic, home-style Japanese dishes (and Id know, since I grew up over there). The restaurant is cozy, with a capacity of ~35, maybe 40 customers. One American woman waits the entire restaurant -she does well and is attentive, although the place didnt have more than 20 or so people when my friends and I went there on a Sat. night. If you have a higher standard for food than the typical mainstream American sugar, salt, and grease drenched fake ethnic foods, youll be very happy eating here.Food notes:_Miso soup, salad, and rice are all good quality. The rice was cooked just right._Prok gyoza: Mediocre. The skin was limp, and the flavor was uninspiring. Seemed like they were pre-cooked and re-heated._Chicken liver: Good and savory, with proper texture._Sushi: We ordered the simple nigiris and rolls (not into those crazyAmericanstyle rolls) in an entree: the quality of the fish was top-notch (even better than Yoshi sushi in Latham), the rice had a moderate flavor and was cooked just right, and the sushi was prepared with just the right pressure (i.e. sushi not packed too tight, or crumble apart when eating)._Pork Katsu: Good. The meat was a bit thin and dry, but crunchy and had good flavor._Ishikari Nabe: Very good. A signature dish from Maris place of origin -a Japanese-style hotpot with seafood, tofu, and veggies, in a butter-and-miso broth. Flavors were well-balanced, and contents of the pot were cooked just right. Makes you feel all warm and cozy._Tofu Sukiyaki: So-so. A more common Japanese hotpot in a variant of stock, soy sauce, and sugar broth. The contents were cooked just right, but it was a bit too sweet for us.
