Maki Yaki Japanese - Dana Point

The manager there was very rude and was not welcoming. Will never come there again or recommend to anyone.

Excellent sushi. I drive all the way from San Clemente at least once a week to get Sushi from Maki Yaki.

Maki Yaki Japanese Restaurant is simple and delicious. They have a few different hand rolls to choose from or you can go with the set menus. If you don't like a particular roll in the set menu, you can always substitute it for something else. The yellowtail hand roll is my favorite but If they have the uni roll available, I would recommend trying it. There hand rolls are made after you finish the previous hand roll so that the seaweed is nice and crunchy. It is all bar seating so try going with 4 or less in a party or break up your party to get seated quicker. It is hard to find street parking but they have a parking garage next to the restaurant.

Great food, super friendly employees, always excellent atmosphere. They charge affordable prices and the food quality is great. Highly recommended.

Sushi is great. I went to Dana Point and this place hit the spot. The taste was fresh and good. The Jalapeño Paprika were tasty, but I wish they were a bit more crisp.
