All sushi, all the
time at MakiMaki
Sushi rolls are made to order at the counter.
BY GABE HERMAN
The Japanese restaurant Maki-
Maki serves only sushi rolls,
which are made to order at a
counter and have affordable prices. It
just opened a second Midtown location
in June at 360 Lexington Ave., between
E. 40th and 41st Sts.
The new spot is a small space with
several tables along the wall, and a
counter area where two chefs work
quickly to make sushi rolls as they’re
ordered.
The menu offers two types of sushi
rolls. There is the eight-piece “cutup,”
or maki, and there are large coneshaped
hand rolls, or temaki.
The hand roll option is a little cheaper
than the cutup. The California roll
is $4 for a hand roll and $6.50 for an
eight-piece cutup; spicy salmon is $5
for a hand roll and $7.50 for a cutup;
and salmon avocado is $6 for a hand
roll and $8.50 for a cutup.
Other sushi options include shrimp
tempura, eel avocado, yellowtail scallion,
and blue crab. There are also
custom-order options with additional
ingredients, including jalapeno, shiso
leaf, tempura fl akes, and sweet Japanese
squash, among others. Extra sauce
options include spicy mayo and truffl ed
eel.T
here are also tea, matcha and

espresso drinks in the $3 to $5 range.
MakiMaki calls itself a “premium
fast-casual sushi bar,” and the sushi
does taste fresh and like it’s from a
quality restaurant, but with much better
prices.
The company was founded by Kevin
Takarada, whose family has run Toni’s
Sushi Bar in South Beach, Miami, since
its 1987 founding. Takarada was actually
a mechanical engineer, then a
fi nancial risk manager working in Midtown,
according to the restaurant.
He was dissatisfi ed with the lunch
options in the area, including a lack of
sushi that was both high-quality and affordable.
So he founded MakiMaki and
decided to focus solely on sushi rolls.
The shop’s specialization pays off
with its tasty rolls, and is worth a visit
for those working in the area or willing
to fi ght through Midtown crowds for
quality sushi.
The new shop is open only on
weekdays, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The
original location is at 1369 Sixth Ave.,
between W. 55th and 56th Sts. More
information can be found at makimaki.
