Absolute favourite restaurant for authentic Japanese food. Food is full of flavour, and ambience is phenomenal. Love the variety of food and drinks! Very extensive menu! Only issue is parking sadly, but that is out of the venues control.

Our first time dining at Maru Hi-Fi last night and we were extremely impressed by this fantastic restaurant, from the warm welcome, immediate seating, attentive service (without being obtrusive) prompt delivery of food and beverages, absolutely delicious dishes, fabulous music selection and ambience, just a perfect evening all round, a special mention to Henry, a true ambassador for the restaurant, personable, attentive, professional in every aspect of his position, can not speak highly enough of our experience, we shall definitely be back and have already recommended to friends!
