Maki Yaki Japanese Restaurant is simple and delicious. They have a few different hand rolls to choose from or you can go with the set menus. If you don't like a particular roll in the set menu, you can always substitute it for something else. The yellowtail hand roll is my favorite but If they have the uni roll available, I would recommend trying it. There hand rolls are made after you finish the previous hand roll so that the seaweed is nice and crunchy. It is all bar seating so try going with 4 or less in a party or break up your party to get seated quicker. It is hard to find street parking but they have a parking garage next to the restaurant.
We tried this restaurant for the first time today and ordered the salmon teriyaki and tuna poke dish. My partner is usually very picky, but he said that the salmon teriyaki was the best he's ever had - not too raw or too old, just made with perfect taste. I also enjoyed my poke, one of the best I've had. The only improvement I hope for is that they offer inside or outside seating instead of just takeout. We would definitely come back again.
The sushi at this restaurant is fantastic. I visited Dana Point and this place really delivered. The flavors were fresh and delicious. The Jalapeño peppers were especially tasty, although I would have preferred them to be a bit more crunchy.
Sushi is great. I went to Dana Point and this place hit the spot. The taste was fresh and good. The Jalapeño Paprika were tasty, but I wish they were a bit more crisp.

We had Korean spicy noodles, fried oysters and firecracker rolls. They're all delicious! This is by far the best Japanese restaurant we have ever tried here!
Great food, super friendly employees, always excellent atmosphere. They charge affordable prices and the food quality is great. Highly recommended.
The manager there was very rude and was not welcoming. Will never come there again or recommend to anyone.
Excellent sushi. I drive all the way from San Clemente at least once a week to get Sushi from Maki Yaki.
