  Always a nice place to eat. tasty tasty. tried ramen. Beware, the bowl is big and enough for two. very flavorable. all the rolls are very tasty.

  I've been coming here for at least 5 years and it's sad to see how Maneki fell off. My family used to get the bento lunch/dinner bowls and they were pretty generous for a reasonable price. And I was eating one of their Firecracker rolls on a weekly basis.
  
  The management changed a couple years ago and it's been downhill since. The quality of the fish has dropped, doesn't taste as fresh anymore, and whoever they have making the rolls doesn't have the ratio of fish to rice down. (Either a huge piece of fish with tiny rice or all rice and a sliver of fish.) Their bento bowls are SO much smaller than they used to be it's kind of ridiculous. I get that prices increase - but making the portions smaller on top of that is a no-no.
  
  To top it off, we called today for take-out and the person on the phone gave me attitude - didn't even let me finish my sentence when I just wanted my teriyaki sauce on the side.
  
  Sad to say I won't be coming back soon.

  Massive sushi rolls!!! Usually I would love this, but the rolls were mostly rice so I was disappointed with that.  We were debating if we should get the sushi boat or rolls and ended up just ordering rolls a la carte.  In theme with massive rolls- the nigiri pieces had huge slabs of fish so maybe that's a better alternative.
  
  DINNER
  Sushi rolls- I can't speak for what rolls we got bc I didn't do the ordering but they were all of similar variation: tempura/flakes, imitation crab, cuts of tuna or salmon, sauce, and RICE.  
  Nigiri plate- generous cuts
  Calamari- too chewy
  Soft shell crab- good
  
  The service was nice and accommodating to reservations for a large party.  As we were leaving there were lots of people waiting so it looks like this is a popular spot.  
  
  Maybe only sashimi and nigiri next time and one roll max.

  Maneki has been open for quite some time, and my wife and I have never really considered making the 4 minute drive down there to try them out just due to the fact that we were suckers for Satomi Sushi in Newark. We finally bit the bullet and was craving sushi however did not want to make the drive out to Newark so we settled for Maneki. We ordered 3 rolls that not only lacked flavor but wouldn't even stay together once picked up! Disappointed in the execution and taste. To top it off I was initially only given one spicy mayo sauce, when I asked for more considering I just spent over 30 bucks of sushi... the lady complained and said "they don't give out more than one sauce per order!" I laughed at that took my extra whopping 2 sauces and said.. never again!
  
  Satomi can not only roll a proper sushi, they aren't stingy with their damn Sauces! You have earned my business and I will recommend anyone to Satomi over Maneki in a heartbeat.

  Visited this place since it was close to work. Above average sushi is my best description. I had the BMW roll and the yakatori.
  
  Do not get the yakatori. It was overcooked and was pretty rough texture wise.
  
  The BMW roll was pretty good. My favorite part was the fried shrimp. I look forward to trying more of the sushi rolls.
