Authentic, creative Japanese dishes in the heart of the Village. Marumi is a restaurant to be treasured, with a versatile, reliable kitchen that caters to the young Japanese who make up the core of its clientele, without condescending to anyone else. The menu offers a cross section of casual Japanese dining, from a superb selection of sushi and sashimi to noodle dishes to one-pot meals to bento-box lunches and dinners. The service is swift, efficient and charming and will even go the extra mile in preventing bad choices.  Over the last 20-plus years, Marumi's owners have watched their customer's kids (as well as their own) grow up and move away; even as the neighborhood changes and evolves, Marumi remains a Village favorite.
