Marū Killeen: Reviews & Ratings
First time here. Just dropped in for a quick bite, but everything was so good so I kept ordering. Mind you I’m by myself WAY too much food, so I’ll be bringing home dinner. Service is phenomenal! She’s so nice, and the food came out quick, hot, and perfectly cooked. I’ll definitely be back!
The food was great! The teriyaki chicken came out steaming hot and was delicious! Service was outstanding as well.
Food was good and plentiful. I don't like that you have to pay extra for fried rice (3). Who eats hibachi with regular rice. Normally this comes with your food. I ordered hibachi chicken with onions & muahrooms only. It was really good. They do have yum yum sauce so that's a plus.
Outstanding Services, waitress was very helpful flavor of the food was outstanding. Can wait to bring the family back!!! Highly recommended
The food is very good here, if anyone tells you otherwise they most likely have never had many things outside of the US or Texas. I'm half Korean and this place is very close to authentic, I haven't tried their hibachi and the sushi is as fresh as its going to get considering there isn't an ocean near by. THE BIGGEST issue with this place is SERVICE, they don't have the staff to support the demand. People who live in Killeen are rude asf and demanding so they don't have any patience to deal with a small business owners struggle. I however feel like their shortcomings are worth my business. I'll be back again soon
OMG this place is awesome really nice on it inside And are chef Mr. Peck was awesome and our waitress Miyakah P. Great place for a date night or family fun they have Korean barbecue tables where YOU can cook your own food and And they bring out the food and they show you one time how to cook it then they let you cook it how cool is that then on the Japan hibachi side They cook your food Update3/14/25 Went out for a date night had a ball our waitress Darlene was a Gem that darn soki strawberry flavored no joke taste like old school everclear lol. Gotta love this place!! Our chef forgot his name but I got a video of him he was definitely turned up!!
Sushi, Hibachi, and an all you can eat Korean BBQ. We chose the Korean BBQ side where we got to cook all of our meat right in front of us. The atmosphere/environment was very inviting. We told the hostess that this was our first time and she greeted us warmly and told us about all of our options. Very good first impression. We ordered edamae and a sushi roll. Standard pricing, so nothing to outrageous. For myself and my wife at lunch time, we paid 30 per person for all you can eat meat. It was not busy. If it was, I could see the service would still be good. This restaurant is VERY spacious and very comfortable. While you're eating the meat, they ask you if you're ready for the next meat, and you get to pick! Try a variety of meat. We ended up not liking the honey pork. The straps we got were very fatty with little meat on it. The marinated beef and the bulgogi is the way to go! Be adventurous and try other meats. The staff was very nice and courteous. They came and asked if we wanted our grill changed out to get a clean one. That's how often they notice you here. The tables were clean, the floors were clean. Like I said in the beginning, it was very inviting. Over all, we will definitely be back! Restaurants like this are so much better than the declining chains that can't give you, the patron, any type of good service.
Sides are tasty, entrees are tasty, AYCE BBQ is tasty. Really glad that they offered lettuce wraps for the meat. Wait staff is super nice and helpful. This is a legit spot for Korean food. Definitely recommend and we will be back again. When you arrive, you can choose to be seated for hibachi, all you can eat KBBQ, or a “regular” table. I’m a fan of their regular menu items - our server’s recommendations were all good!
