Chef Jason Park’s ambitious French-Japanese concept in Santa Monica offers an inventive marriage of East and West.

Maru serves an innovative French-Japanese menu, including world-class sushi and a selection of seasonal dishes featuring organic farmers' market produce.

With a stunning omakase tasting menu, offering the freshest fish flown in from Japan, and a dinner menu filled with seasonally-inspired, locally farmed and organic produce, Maru offers a truly unique blend of Eastern and Western flavors.

Open for happy hour, Maru’s bar shakes up cocktails from Matthew Biancaniello. During Maru’s recent renovation, chef Park spearheaded the dessert program at the beloved Eastside dessert shop, Ramekin. Desserts include sweet creations like passion fruit panna cotta and home-made ice cream as well as a selection of dessert-inspired cocktails.
