Makifornia, Japanese takeaway restaurant in Brussels, Belgium
Makifornia is a sushi restaurant and takeaway in Brussels that combines Japanese preparation methods with Western ingredients. The menu covers maki rolls, donburi bowls, and other rice-based dishes, all served across several locations in the city.
The restaurant opened in 2012 and from the start focused on fresh ingredients without additives and on preparing everything in-house. This way of working has stayed at the core of how the place runs.
The name "Makifornia" joins the Japanese word "maki" with "California," a nod to the California roll that sits between Japanese and Western food traditions. This idea shows up directly on the plate, where familiar ingredients meet Japanese preparation methods.
With several locations spread across Brussels, it is easy to find one close to wherever you are in the city. If you prefer eating at home, delivery is also available.
The preparation work is divided into focused tasks, with one person dedicated to cooking the rice and another to rolling the maki. This split means the result stays consistent from one location to the next.
