our story

where it all began

Twelve years ago, Robert Song left his career in pursuit of creating something he had been dreaming up for years.  With experience as a sushi chef and a restaurant manager, and inspiration from growing up in South Korea, his desire to do things differently drove him to forge his own path and create Maru as we know it today. 

culinary ethos

"My philosophy in food is that it should be comforting and memorable.  I strive to create food that you eat first with your eyes, then you take in the smells, feel it in the mouth, and then your heart."

Director of Culinary Arts Chef Moon Yang
