About MaO Izakaya & Sushi

MaO Izakaya & Sushi is a restaurant that offers a variety of Japanese dishes, including yakitori, vegetarian options, and vegan rolls. The meat dishes can be on the pricier side, but the food quality is generally good. The service is reported to be accommodating, with a helpful and kind staff that enhances the dining experience. The restaurant is considered a hidden gem in the Dublin/Pleasanton area, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The Lion King Roll is said to be better than the Mao Signature Roll, and the chicken karaage remains a popular dish, though the breading may not be as crispy as desired. Recently, the menu has been upgraded, but some customers noted the lack of descriptions for the rolls, which they find helpful. Despite the price increases on some rolls, the restaurant continues to receive positive feedback for its efficiency and family-friendly environment.
