What people say, in short
Maru on Burnet is recommended as a casual sushi option, with praise for its nigiri, rice and fish quality. One diner praises the thick cuts of fish and reports receiving more food than expected. Another favors its value for nigiri, and a regular reports consistently enjoying its chirashi. The Samurai roll also receives a specific recommendation. The accounts are broadly positive, but individual dish praise and one diner's portion experience should not be read as a guarantee for every order.
