About the Vibe
Maki Maki in Ixelles brings a playful twist to traditional sushi with its signature "Hotdog Maki" – a rice bun coated in batter, wrapped around sausage and cucumber. It's not your typical high-end sushi spot, but if you're looking for something fun, affordable, and surprisingly tasty, this is your go-to. The takeaway option is particularly popular, and you can easily grab your rolls and enjoy them on a bench at Place Flagey just steps away.

Creative Sushi with a Fun Twist
Maki Maki offers a refreshing take on sushi in the Flagey area of Ixelles. The standout is definitely their Hotdog Maki – a bold experiment that combines a battered rice "bun" with sausage and cucumber, wrapped in nori. It's quirky, but it actually works. The Makemba maki is another creative option that showcases their willingness to play with traditional recipes.
The quality is decent for the price point, though it's not going to rival high-end sushi bars. Some reviews mention inconsistent rolling and rice texture, but the flavors generally make up for it. The staff is friendly, and they've made efforts to improve their packaging with more sustainable options. For a casual bite or a quick takeaway, it's a solid choice – just don't expect an elegant dining experience. Grab your rolls and head to Place Flagey for a pleasant outdoor meal.
