I used to enjoy Maki-San when they first opened at Dhoby Ghaut—it was a go-to spot with long queues, which spoke to its popularity. However, over time, I feel their standards have dropped significantly. I recently purchased a DIY Mega San ($13.75), along with popcorn chicken and a drink, and I was thoroughly disappointed. The sushi had an overwhelming amount of rice but was severely lacking in actual ingredients. I could barely see any protein, and the beef I ordered was almost non-existent. It felt like I was just eating plain rice with a few scattered toppings. The popcorn chicken was another letdown—mostly flour and batter, with very little actual meat. Overall, the meal was not worth the price, and the quality has diminished compared to their early days. To put things into perspective, I also bought a kimbap from a Korean store, and it was far more filling and satisfying than Maki-San’s sushi. It’s disappointing to see a brand that once had great quality and loyal customers lose its touch. Would I return? Probably not. At this price point, I’d expect better portions and quality. purchased from compass 1 sengkang
