Maru - Charlottesville

Small Shotgun Style Layout Restaurant with a Wait, but the food is definitely worth waiting!! Authentic Korean menu, nice staff, fast service and delicious food! We'll be back!

We Maru for their selection of great Korean vegetarian dishes. Our favorites are Maru Fried Rice with Tofu, Fried Vegetable Dumplings, Dolsot Bibimbap with Tofu, the Banchan. The Dolsot Bibimbap came in a squirting hot bowl! Great outdoor seating on Charlottesville Downtown Mall.

The first time to eat here and it was amazing! I went with the crispy Squid appetizer and the house fried rice with beef. Everything was delicious and I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Will be absolutely back.

We found this walking around the downtown area after driving in from out of town and we are SO glad to have stumbled upon it! We had a delicious lunch outside that was served up fast. Our server was fantastic and answered all our questions. The portions are big so come hungry! I highly recommend the wings, they are probably some of the best wings I’ve ever had.

Update: I went for dine in and their food is phenomenal. I’ve added pics below definitely try the pork belly, their pork dumplings, the bulgogi, and their hot plate bibimbap it comes out sizzling! Their wings are good. Sometimes especially now wings have been coming with barely any meat on them. The wings here are thick and flavorful, without being overly large, fatty, or battered. I recommend the traditional sauce, as I found it to be more flavorful than the soy garlic sauce. The traditional does have a hint of spice so be aware of that if you decide to get it. I got 12 wings for $20. And it comes with pickled radish and carrots on the side. Stop by if you’re in downtown C’ville
