There are lots of Japanese foods in NYC and in the country. But actually not much easy quick takeouts in Chelsea. If you like your Japanese food right away, you might like Maruko.
Maruko Sushi & Tea originates from Flushing, Queens (I believe), where lots of Asians particularly Chinese and Taiwanese (I'm sure) live. The store gives me a Chinese-feeling---the staff talk among themselves in Chinese.
They offer regular sushi rolls, one single piece sushi, bento boxes (chicken, salmon, and eel), desserts like daifuku, and of course, bubble tea!
The sushi are....just ok. Bento boxes are better in value ($8-10 plus tax). Not to be cheap but the salmon piece is very tiny...also they give you small pieces of eel. You definitely need to heat up the food because they've been sitting in the fridge.
Their bubble tea and tea drinks are pretty decent. Regular size is $3.50 and now they're doing a promotion for regular bubble tea---any size only $3.00!
Location: 21st ST, between 6th and 7th AVE (near 7th AVE)
Rating: 3.5/5, ok for a take-out place
