What Kit T likes about Maru Korean Japanese:
The kimchi and rice is excellent! It comes sizzling in a hot stone pot and the flavors are perfect. Really hit the spot! First good sign was there were actually korean ppl dining and speaking korean and the server was really nice. So happy to finally find an authentic korean restaurant in the south island!

What User doesn't like about Maru Korean Japanese:
This is a slightly strange place but very clean tidy and friendly. Seems to be a fusion of Japanese and Korean cuisine. The octopus takoyaki balls were amazingly good. We prefer Osaka style okonomyaki and our way is with cheese and shrimps which were not an option. Miso soup was unusual but lovely. At lunch time they had run out of sashimi as well as rice which are really two staples of a Japanese restaurant. Overall... View all feedback.

Really good food. A bit strange to see Korean and Japanese food in the same place, but loved their spicy tofu stew. Really good chefs, excellent at whatever you...

Ordered ramen and gimmari : Didn't expect it to be so filling but very nice overall. Hope they can bring back the rabokki!
