Love the variety! I usually get the same Mega San Salad from this Makisan outlet at Hillion, but it's unfortunate that the portion size is getting noticeably smaller.

The entrance is located outside and separate from Hillion Mall, facing the bus stop at Bukit Panjang MRT Exit A. The eatery is quite spacious for its type (SUBWAY-like). Order forms are available upon entry. It has a peculiar, fishy smell every time we go through. The concept is excellent, allowing you to customize your sushi or salad bowl. The variety of ingredients is also quite large. However, most of them do not taste as they are supposed to. Fresh produce items are also prepared roughly. One time, we ordered asparagus, but the stems were so hard that they were difficult to chew! The rice is also quite mushy and nothing like Japanese rice. Meats, in general, are disappointing as they are prepared and processed in advance and served cold. Most staff can't really wrap the rolls well, so the sushi can fall apart easily once lifted from the box. Although there's a machine that helps them cut the sushi evenly at the end, and the takeaway boxes are very cute, the basic taste of the food is simply a pity.

I always thought of Maki/Gimbap as an ingenious method of getting you to pay more for your food. If the separate ingredients were laid out before you (before being rolled up), I doubt many would be willing to pay between $8 to $12 for them. But once rolled up, people pay such amounts for what they presume they are getting. The whole is certainly worth more than the sum of its parts. So I decided to give Maki-San a try only after I stumbled upon a Grab Food voucher promotion. You pay $21 for a $30 voucher. I was impressed by their "What a Catch Salad". All ingredients were very fresh. Their (lightly) smoked salmon didn't have an overpowering smell. I felt so refreshed after eating it. Fantastic value if purchased in conjunction with the Grab promotion. I was dismayed by their Little San Sushi, even though I chose the ingredients that went into it. In the end, the rice-to-ingredients ratio was too lopsided in favour of rice. All I could taste on eating the maki was rice, rice and more rice (see picture). I won't order this again, not even in conjunction with the Grab promotion. Not even if you gave me a 50% discount. A saner rice-to-ingredients ratio was present in their "California Dreaming Sushi". Not too bad. I gave this place 3 stars - the rating was dragged down due to their Little San Sushi. Do note that this is a takeaway place - there are no seats in the shop for dining in.

The staff member was extremely rude and unprofessional. I ordered for takeaway and wanted to pack my items separately. She asked, "Can you separate them?" and refused to do it. Very rude. I will not be buying from here again.

Shrinkflation at its worst. Ordered a Mega San and the portion of lettuce and other ingredients are pathetically small. This is supposed to be the MEGA San, the larger option. But the ingredients barely fill half the box. Some time ago, they used to place the sauce container outside the box, and the vegetables inside were filled to the brim. Now, they sneakily put it inside the box so it takes up space, and the vegetables barely reach half the box. Seriously, if you're trying to cut costs by giving fewer leaves of lettuce, you might as well close down and stop doing business. What's next? Counting the number of corn kernels? Counting the number of ebiko?

The food is good, and the staff are friendly!

The sushi at this store was not compactly made. My sushi tore into bits halfway through eating because there was a huge gap. The soft shell crab tempura was also way too hard! :( It tasted like it had been left overnight. Edit: Improvement to sushi compactness made! I'm so glad that feedback was taken positively :) The soft shell crab is still too hard; crispy would be perfect!

Maki San at Hillion Mall impresses me with customizable sushi rolls and fresh ingredients. The efficient service and modern ambiance enhance my family's experience. While it can get busy, the quick-moving line and adequate portions make it a great spot for a tasty, personalized meal. Recommended for sushi fans who enjoy creating their own combinations.
