Maruhide Uni Club - Torrance

Maruhide used to be the perfect place for sashimi and uni, and I'll come down from SF just to come here, but I'm considering to come less since their menu changed and price went up after they reopened. I had the Uni Pasta combo this is probably the best meal we had along other food we ordered. It came with salad and an extra Uni plate. It was fulfilling my craving for Uni. Uni was fresh and sweet. The pasta was really delicious as well. It was perfect and worth the trip. However, my parents got the Uni, Ikura, crab and scallop combo ..... the rice was not sushi rice but regular rice, it didn't cook well and hard for my parents to digest. The meal wasn't any special but a large bowl of rice with thin slices of crabs, some ikura and some Uni. Too expensive and not worth it. We also got the wagyu combo and my brother said it was just okay and it wasn't like our previous experience here, which Maruhide used to have really good combos with big sashimi bowl with sushi rice, uni and ikura, and it was always unbeatable. Overall tips: come to this place expect getting $40 more per person, get sashimi and Uni then any of their rice set. Remember to make reservation before you come. I will probably come visit again only for special occasions, but yes still recommend to anyone who loves Uni to support this place!

To be clear: I do not like to eat uni, so I was reluctantly dragged here. The Uni fan said it was great, but I got the chef's selection of nigiri. Everything was amazing, and I even got to sit at the bar and get personally briefed by the chef for each course.

I don't eat uni because I don't like its smell and the texture but it was amazing at Maruhide. We tried the $50 combo, I think it was #12 and the uni pasta. Sashimi was fresh and the al dente pasta was delicious. Both grilled and regular uni (from Alaska) were so buttery and yummy! We both agreed that this was the best uni we've ever had but I don't know if I will go back. Ambiance wasn't too great for an avg of $40-60/pp restaurant.

Uni club!!! Daily fresh uni every day per the waitress. Totally can’t beat that. We only came here to tickle my uni craving and everything on their menu had uni in it. I had the tuna wrap and a fresh uni from their daily collection.

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for uni enthusiasts! They provide a wide variety of uni dishes, which makes it highly recommended for anyone who loves this delicacy. While the other sushi selections were generally good, those who aren't fond of uni might not find much to appreciate. The presentation of the dishes was quite impressive as well!
