Maki Yaki - Wimbledon

I've been eating at the Japanese restaurant, Maki Yaki, regularly for about a year now. I think that alone is enough to speak my thoughts on this place, but just in case it isn't... I will say a bit more! 

Although I have never actually eaten in the restaurant itself (I always have it to takeaway), I have never had a bad experience with Maki Yaki. The food is consistently delicious and there is a great variety of dishes from sushi to larger plates. My personal favourite is the Maki roll named 'Crunch' which, as the name would suggest, has a crunch to it, as well as delicious crab, shrimp and cucumber inside. There are lots of other dishes to choose from too, including teriyaki and katsu curry. I would recommend everything I have tried, and having tried almost all the Maki's and a couple of the main dishes, I would say that's a pretty good result. 

The photos below, although not the best, give you an idea of the size of the maki rolls and therefore how much you might like to order. There are six per serving and they are quite filling so I would definitely advise ordering less than you think you'll need!

If you live in and around London then I really urge you to try it out! There are three locations, Wimbledon, Epsom and one in the Excel Centre in London. If you can't get to the restaurant then get some to take away. I would say it is perhaps on the more expensive side for sushi, but maybe that's because I'm a student and everything seems expensive to me!

Obviously now I am a vegan my options are slightly more limited but they have some great vegetable Maki rolls and their Wakame (a seasoned seaweed salad) is absolutely delicious.
