Our Visit to Maki, Marina Waves

Maki is one of the most famous Japanese restaurants in Kuwait. Maki was opened in 2002 at Marina Waves in Kuwait. The restaurant serves Japanese food and reflects the Japanese culture. It has four branches in Kuwait that are located in Salhiya Mall, Burj Jassim, The Avenues Mall and Marina Waves.

Regarding their prices, people at the beginning thought that their prices were expensive compared to other restaurants. However, this perspective has been changed since new Japanese restaurants have entered the market.

On Saturday, my friend and I went to Marina Waves Maki for lunch. The place was calm and quiet. Visitors can sit outdoors, facing the sea view.  The food was great as usual and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

We ordered Crispy Salad and Edamame as side dishes. The salad has many ingredients such as rocket, frisee, cucumber, carrot, pink pepper, rice pearl, avocado, crispy harusame, sweet potato, cassava, beetroot, crabsticks, wasabi and yuzu flakes along with their special sauce.

Crispy Salad: 4.000 KD

Also, we ordered Tempura which is Prawns served with Maki’s golden special sauce. In addition to this, we tried the Issa Mame Maki, which is tempura prawns, crab sticks, carrot sticks, cucumber sushi rolls with a special sauce on top and crisps at the bottom.
