Kitchen Maruichi

A good place to start at Kitchen Maruichi is with a freshly fried croquette to take away. Visitors describe them as small but smooth with refined sweetness from the potato, wrapped in a light, crisp coating. Some report that their croquettes were fried after they ordered, making them tempting to eat soon after collecting them, or an easy addition to dinner at home.

For something alongside the fried food, consider the potato salad. One diner says they like its seasoning so much that they sometimes visit just to buy it; another was surprised by how substantial it was as a dish in its own right, rather than merely a side. Make the croquette the centrepiece and add potato salad for a takeaway spread at home.

The menu includes a recommended meat croquette, as well as croquettes and minced cutlets. A diner who tried the minced cutlet praised the balance of sweet onion and savoury meat, offering a different experience from the smooth, gently sweet potato croquette. Other customers say they often buy curry croquettes or onion skewers, too—options to consider when you want a change from the classic croquette.

Kitchen Maruichi is a deli for takeaways, not dine-in meals. Payment is cash only, so be sure to bring some.
