The Sushi Maki in West Berkshire

We had three mixed platters and everything was absolutely delicious. We’ve eaten sushi in a number of places in the US and UK and this was our favourite family experience by far. Highly recommend.

It was very appealing for the eye as well as for our taste. Very nice service from the team, special thanks to Skye and Akos for delivering the sushi in the best possible way. As well as the chef who made very tasty fried tempura sushi’s!!

This lovely sushi restaurant in the heart of Newbury has a great menu and the option of dine in, takeaway or delivery

This is the best restaurant of its type in the area. Great food, tasty and fast with lovely service

If you're a sushi fan you can't go wrong with this cosy and consistently great little gem.

The absolute best when it comes to sushi. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, great decor, freshly rolled sushi and other dishes. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Staff attitude was shocking when there was no one else in the shop at lunch time. Don't deserve 1 star.

Excellent delivery service and delicious food! All the family enjoyed it and we’ll definitely do it again as it was a really easy system to use

We have been here on several occasions and it never disappoints. The food is amazing quality, fresh and very yummy. No other sushi restaurant compares!

Great quality sushi. Gluten Free platter was perfect and everything labelled nicely. Super generous with the ginger which is important. Everybody very happy. Will now be our go to sushi restaurant.

Sushi Maki is a contant favourite for our family and has been for many years as they never let us down. The food is superb, whether eaten in or taken away. Quality always wins! Thanks

Had beef ramen and kaarage for lunch. Chicken kaarage, I dont think its authentic Japanese, as it doesnt contain sesame. Ive tasted kaarage in many ramen places in London and they are sesame-ey. The kaarage is served with sweet chili sauce which is abit odd. But it was nicely fried, although a bit on the bland side. Sirloin beef steak ramen, at first bite, was allright. It did not feel to me as authentic ramen, ofcourse if I compare it to Kanada ya ramen, but maybe this ramen is just this specific restaurant's style ramen. Noodles thats used is curly and more like chinese style noodles, and the broth doesnt really taste anything and its tad on the salty side, and they put raw red onion in the ramen, which is odd. Taste more like a fusion between chinese and vietnamese noodles soup. But its probably their style. We ate it all as we were hungry, but definitely will go somewhere else if we want authentic ramen.

Great food and worth visiting. The.seevice was also excellent. I especially liked the salmon

My Aunt and her Partner came to visit me from London and I suggested we went to Sushi Maki for Lunch. Both of them (like me) are very open minded about continental cuisine and because of so many positive experiences about Sushi Maki from people I know who have been to eat there already that made it our restaurant of choice. To say the sushi was delicious beyond all expectations is an understatement. We ordered two very big platters that had different varieties on each but both were unbelievably good. We maybe over ordered but and in most instances we would have taken 1/3 home in a doggy bag to eat another time but it was so good we ate it all there and then! Staff were very friendly and clearly described to us what was inside each sushi so we knew to differentiate what was served on both platters. We left there delighted we chose Sushi Maki to eat and will certainly be back there in future. Asahi beer went great with the sushi. Tap water served by the jug no charge. What a perfect dining experience. Well done team Sushi Maki

Good food , good service and professional personnel. Good place where to stay and relaxed enjoing the food

Lovely good quality food, complemented with great service.

This time I ordered food online with delivery to a home. I replied to the confirmation email asking for (if possible) making special dish "surprise me chef" for my husband's birthday meal. The food was beautiful and delicious as always. More than that Chef left a note "happy birthday"with some little treat for him :D That was so nice! Thank you!

Had a reservation, booked on their own website- turned up and they were closed

Service and food are always exemplary - faultless. Been before, will be back.

First time I've ever had sushi and it was delicious, the host was very helpful

This is my absolute favorite spot for a light, simple, and delicious meal. Whether dining in or opting for takeaway, this place consistently delivers quality and satisfaction. My little one adores it too, especially the kids' meals which are excellent value for money. The staff here are simply amazing, always friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a delightful and affordable dining experience!

Fantastic Japanese food place around Newbury.

I love this little gem located in Newbury Square. The sushi is fresh and the presentation is beautiful! The staff are so friendly and offer great recommendations. The interior decor also provides an elegant and relaxing atmosphere. They are great value for money and perfect for any eat-out occasion (Date Night, Birthday, Work Function). 10/10 would recommend!

I lived and worked in Japan. This is 100 miles from the sea and is the closest to a Japanese restaurant outside London. The rice in sushi is pretty close to the real thing, which is surprising as that is the most important part of sushi experience. I don't expect real wasabi in the UK but the hamachi and butter fish sashimi were just good. Sushi was the best I've had in the UK outside London.

Definitely not the best sushi i had in my life..Will i come back.. No i don't think so

Loving the new menu. The chirashi poke bowl is my usual go-to when dining alone -- generous and delicious! My favourites for sharing are the Full Dragon sushi roll and Spicy Crunchy Octopus. For my recent visit, I decided to try something different and went for the Eel Teriyaki Donburi and was not disappointed. Generous portions of eel on well cooked rice, and the pickled daikon balances out the sweet teriyaki very well.

We ate here for my Grandson's birthday with a large party. They had a gluten free and vegetarian menu so plenty to choose from for dietary requirements. The food was very good and arrived at the same time. The staff were friendly and helpful and child friendly. I would like to see gluten free Ramen on the menu , please! 😁🤞

Went here with my Mother, my two Sisters and my Father for his birthday. What a fantastic decision to go here. The Sushi was outstanding. Without doubt the best I have ever had. Didn’t care about the price was worth every penny. Great range of different Sushi options and platters to suit all preferences and tastes. All the traditional sauces to add that extra flavour, especially the wasabi - wow that was pokey! Would definitely go again and highly recommend to anyone who is in the mood for Sushi! 🍣 🍱

Sushi and wine was really great, music was a bit loud for the place and that was the only problem

Great experience quick service nice atmosphere highly recommended

Amazing food, service was great, will definitely be going back again soon 😋 can't recommend anything as everything we ate was top class..

What a lovely place! I dropped in on my own for a takeaway and ended up sitting down for a warm saki whilst I waited - which was honestly one of the nicest alcoholic drinks I’ve ever had! The staff we so welcoming and friendly, but most importantly, the sushi was also delicious.

What a wonderful restaurant, staff were so helpful and food was to die for definitely be returning, made my visit to Newbury a happy experience.

Anticipation was high. Not quite sure how this restaurant has so many 5* reviews. Staff were amenable and helpful. The ambience was lacking. The food? It was edible but I don't believe for one minute that their sushi is freshly made on site, so obviously bought in from a wholesaler. Disappointed and expensive.

Fantastic sushi (tempura prawn & crab). So tasty. Lovely staff. Very friendly and attentive. Lovely decor too: amazing original paintings, cherry blossoms...all felt very authentic. Highly recommended!

Below underwhelming. Had a crab remake which was ok. Gyoza which were below average and karaage which was bad (like breaded chicken nuggets from Tesco’s value section). I must have gone on an off day because the other reviews seem to be great

We ordered a variety of dishes for delivery. It was delicious, delivered on time and communication about the order was exceptional. The sushi was smooth and silky, fresh and well made. My husband was very pleased with his choice of birthday meal. Thank you. We'll be ordering again soon.

Great spot for sushi and of course for my favourite crispy rolls in town. Yummy. I do like to go but the place is a bit tinny and prices are not on low side. A part that it is a great spot for a date night.

Such a lovely place. We went here on a whim and were so pleasantly surprised by how nice it was! Try the "chef surprise me" platter - we loved it so much we ordered 2 and both were different each time. A perfect way to try new flavours, and it's affordable too!

We absolutely love this restaurant! It's by far the best sushi we've had anywhere, even compared to much more expensive sushi places we've been to in London. In comparison Sushi Maki is much more reasonably priced. Service is always friendly and speedy too. We've been here a number of times and never been disappointed - highly recommend!

Simply the best sushi around. I challenge you to find better quality or value anywhere else.

Excellent food, I have tried almost all veg dishes which are absolutely super.

This is such a great place in Newbury. The sushi is a reasonable price, often cheaper than Waitrose. The restaurant is beautifully decorated by local artist Sian. Most of the servers are super friendly. We've never had a bad experience there. We usually go for the special because it gives us such a great variety. And we ALWAYS get the edamame.

Always a great experience here and the food is excellent 👌

We really should visit more often. Came for anniversary dinner, and the staff were so sweet. Service is excellent. Food is always amazing, we tell them what we like and they 'chef surprise' us. The whole food experience is great (don't be scared if you haven't tried here before, they'll help you), but it was also rather fitting to have the late 80's music playing on this particular occasion. I felt like you'd grabbed my retro playlist! Sat in the window watching the passers by, but there are also more private tables behind. And outside tables in the summer. Its not the cheapest place ever, you can't use tesco vouchers for example, but we don't think they've put their prices up for a long time, and their ingredients aren't cheap. But value for money, yes, again, excellent. Thank you all, for making our anniversary special. Hope to see you soon.

Google won't let me add a new review, so am adding to 2022's... We really should visit more often. Came for anniversary dinner, and the staff were so sweet. Service is excellent. Food is always amazing, we tell them what we like and they 'chef surprise' us. The whole food experience is great (don't be scared if you haven't tried here before, they'll help you), but it was also rather fitting to have the late 80's music playing on this particular occasion.

Its not the cheapest place ever, you can't use tesco vouchers for example, but we don't think they've put their prices up for a long time, and their ngredients aren't cheap. But value for money, yes, again, excellent. Thank you all, for making our anniversary special. Hope to see you soon. 2022...We're always delighted at Sushi Maki with the choice and quality of the food, friendly service and the restaurant itself is sweet, even better now in the larger premises. I often ask the restaurant to help me choose, and they always seem happy to help, sometimes even creating something just for me, without charging extra. That said, the menus are clear, with plenty of choices with pictures so you don't have to think too hard to understand them. Still our favourite place for a treat.. Thank you chef and team.

Took my 87 year old Mum here today for her first taste of vegan sushi. She is hooked! Delicious, we will be back. Thank you.

Had seen this restaurant a while ago and wanted to try it , Went on a Sunday for lunch , First impressions was not Overy impressed, got a table and looked at menu , The music playing was Jazz ,I thought Japanese music would have been more appropriate ? But that's me , Now the food , We ordered a starter and main , The food was really good we were both full , The waiter was attentive and looked after us , tried my first taste of Saki and there were three varieties, I got to say I will definitely come again ,

I have been coming here with a friend, infrequently, but we always say how delicious the food is. The Temaki were just incredible! I have to remind myself to meet up with my mate more so we get to eat here more. Thank you for the lovely service too, always fast.

Regularly drive 2 hours just to have sushi here. Would highly recommend.

My favourite sushi restaurant in Newbury. Maybe even my favourite Newbury restaurant? The sushi is great quality and there's a large selection of dishes, plus they cater extremely well for children. In fact I love the children's menu options almost as much as the sushi!

Absolutely delicious , what ever you order it’s just amazing. You’d Never regret it. And staff are always kind and nice too.

Very relaxing atmosphere, fresh delicious food and a wide selection. Polite servers, can’t ask for much else. Will be returning!

Not been here for a while but just what we needed. Started with the gyoza's (prawn) and the chicken skewer. Then shared the 8pcs of prawn tempura sushi. All excellent, washed down with an Asahi! Service efficient and friendly.

Went for lunch with my daughter and her newborn baby, we were greeted and asked where we would like to sit, I mentioned, that a corner as my daughter needed to breastfeed her baby so she would feel relaxed and comfortable, I can’t fault the whole experience. Food amazing, my daughter comfortably breast feed her baby, the staff and chefs didn’t bat and eyelid during baby’s feed. Great staff wonderful food. Lovely experience.

They've always accommodated my special requests. Menu is varied. Beautiful and delicious food. Much appreciated, thank you.

I have been working as a sushi chef, and I can say this is good standard and good quality The service was excellent and I can really recommend this place

Amazing sushi - easily the best sushi restaurant in Berkshire 🍣🍱

Delicious squid. Wow - we really enjoyed our night. And they deliver to the sticks. What wonder anniversary picnic super

I be too this place a few times always very good 👍, great sushi

Sushi...... this was ecstacy for me! I ate here a few years ago, and it was great. However the place has had a makeover, and it's got such a nice feel to it! There's seating outside, breakfast/ window bar and also table and chairs. The...

Me and my family loved it - there is a huge variety of food choice and it all tasted amazing 🤩. It was the first place I ever truly enjoyed sushi, and now we come here every year for my birthday.

Really lovely sushi restaurant. Wide variety of sushi on the menu. Kids menu is great and we then bought the sharing platter and a few other plates to share across the family. Great quality ingredients and wonderful staff. The kids love watching the chefs make the food at the back between courses. Thoroughly recommend

Great place to have sushi, it can get very busy but worth it.

Great little restaurant, good food friendly staff and great atmosphere.👌

Best sushi in West Berkshire!! Service is excellent, girls very polite helpful and attractive!! Lads are hard working and clearly have experience. I highly recommend cranchy platter!!

Been there for few times. Very nice staff good smiling and patient, love their service. We ordered sharing platter for 2, delicious and fresh. And "Chef suprise" didn't let me down!! Also we ordered a teriyaki rice for the kid and he loves it!!! Hightly recommend for kids who doesn't like sushi. Very nice place feeling in Japan.

My favourite place for sushi ever! Everything was delicious and fresh, very quick service even when the restaurant is busy! The staff was friendly and very helpful! I’ll be coming back for sure!

We love Sushi Maki - Brilliant take away, easy to order, lots of choice absolutely delicious 😋 thank you!

Our first visit was a resounding success! A small, unique, welcoming restaurant with top grade sushi & great service. Great Mochi selection too! Thank you 😊

Very bad attitude from the young girl serving. We went in without booking . At 5,35 . There was only 3 tables taken . When I asked for a table she rolled her eyes and looked at me with discuss. We eat her quite often . But no more .

I am not sure what the music theme had to do with the food and decoration. Need more authentic music..

Great food, great staff, great music!

Excellent freshly made sushi. Reasonable prices. The restaurant is small but very clean and the décor is stunning. Staff was great and attentive although it was a quiet Saturday lunch time and there were only a few guests.

Fresh ingredients and quality foods

A little surprise. It doesn't look anything fancy from the outside but go in and you will find some fantastic food in great atmosphere.

Love the food and the vibe of this place. Sushi is awesome, decor is great. Service on point.

Some amazing variation of food and drinks I have never seen anywhere before, like traditional Japanese Beer, strawberries on the Sushi and even eel! Everything I ate was amazing and the inside decor is incredibly beautiful!

The food is really good. Unfortunately the staff were un helpful and rude. The waitress asked if we were ready to order drinks when we said we would like a couple more minutes, she rolled her eyes at us. Many more great restaurants to eat...

Great food amazing value good fun

We placed a large order and the restaurant very kindly gave us some complimentary sushi. Food was delicious as always.

Very fresh and tasty 😋 recommended.

Excellent sushi, excellent service! Lots of different vegan/vegetarian options, particularly liked the crunchy veggie rolls with tofu. So good we ordered more. The edamame beans were also very good, served slightly warm with extra salt. Great wine selection too.

Sushi when it finally arrived was good but we booked a 7:20 to 8:20 arrival slot and it arrived just before 9pm - no apology and required us to chase them to find out a delivery time. The hot items were also stone cold and completely inedible.

We booked here passing through Newbury. Great quality sushi, would recommend

Our favourite restaurant/takeaway! Been visiting since they opened, and ALWAYS love it. Such good sushi! The tempura prawn and snow crab roll is out of this world! They are really lovely people too. Always recommend! The place we head for special events in life, our...

This is exceptional Japanese food. Possibly the best I have had outside of Los Angeles (no, I haven’t been to Japan), and definitely the best in the UK. Worth a major detour.

I just moved to Newbury and my manager suggested me this place as a sushi fan, and I really loved it.

Ordered the 60 piece platter - a great choice. Delightful mix & outstanding food. Would highly recommend

cam across this place by chance and so glad we did - probably the best sushi i have had - lovely restaurant setting and decor and all the food was amazing

When I want sushi, is the place I order from, the quality and the freshness of the food is the best around Newbury.

Good and friendly service, and fast! Plenty of vegetarian and vegan choices on the menu. Acoustics weren't great but we had a great time.

Great little sushi restaurant. Staff friendly and accommodating. The food is great quality, delicious and fish is fresh. Definately worth the visit.

We just love this place. Amazing food and great service! We ate in only once before covid and had take away since! Super delicious fresh sushi and sashimi!

Best Sushi place in newbury, and amazing service :) Sharing platter for two is a must!!

Absolutely fantastic Sushi restaurant - a great selection, perfectly prepared and lovely staff. The place is clean and welcoming if a little cozy - but if you even slightly like Sushi, I can't recommend Sushi Maki enough.

Had a take out from here tonight and Nice sushi but not big portions so left us hungry

Good service and food at a reasonable price.

Good quality sushi restaurant with kind staffs. We visited with baby. Staffs were helpful to provide us with water with strew. Ordered shared plate for 2, 30 pc of various shushi, wakame salad, yakitori and dessert. Ingredients of shushi were fresh, yakitori was tasty! Price is not cheap but reasonable considering the quality. I will come back for sure.

I could not recommend the sushi Maki more the sushi was amazing and the restaurant is very nice. Would recommend!
