This is a great product and it has made the sushi-making process bit easier and less messy. This is much better than using those bamboo mats.Customer Review: best sushi mat
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 4 Stars
This new age rolling mat is great for "inside out" rolls. It is highly recommended for the more experienced however, because it is harder to apply pressure evenly unless you are comfortable rolling a sushi roll freehand in the first place. This item is a great supplement to the traditional bamboo sushi rolling mat!Customer Review: OK but not great.
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first saw the Lekeu Silicone Makisu, I was very interested. I loved the idea of it being more hygienic than a standard makisu.
However, when it arrived, I realized how familiar it looked. I have a roll of shelf liner that I purchased at a local Target for $4 that is identical to the Lekue Silicone Makisu.
I tried it out on kimbap as well as a standard maki roll. As another reviewer notes, the silicone makisu is not as sturdy as a standard makisu. I have experience with rolling maki, and I'd give the Lekue Silicone Makisu a "meh". It's ok, but not great.
I also decided to try a little experiment; I purchased a new roll of the shelf liner from Target and tried it out for maki. I did have to cut down the roll to a more manageable size, but it worked just as well as the Lekue, for a fraction of the price.
Customer Review: Not that good...
Summary: 2 Stars
I work as a sushi chef in a very busy restaurant. After playing around with the makisu for several minutes, I noticed that the product was very light and flimsy. Very much like a sheet of paper. It lacked the sturdiness that a traditional makisu has which helps evenly mold sushi rolls. I was fascinated by the idea of a makisu that was very hygenic but it sacrificed speed as well as performance. Overall I was not impressed.
