The master chef was a delight. Very courteous, respectful. Patiently planning each dish for us to try. Beautifully plated and executed to the fullest. Can't wait to return!“

“This place is a standout! The wagyu roll was rich and packed with flavor — an absolute must-try. The avocado roll was perfect, with creamy avocado and lobster mix created just the right texture. Every dish was fresh and beautifully plated. Service was friendly and attentive, and the vibe was relaxed yet refined. Can't wait to come back!“

“Looking for Japanese curry brought me to this spot. It was so delicious! I got chicken katsu curry. Not only was the presentation lovely, but the chicken was crispy, and the curry was rich and flavorful. I also tried the mentai mayo onigiri and karaage. I definitely will be back again!“

“Top notch all the way!! From valet to desert. 5⭐️s!!!💗“

“This place is really good! The vibes are solid, the food is great, service is fine and everyone is nice but nothing outstanding (although maybe I’m being critical, they did give me a free sample of a new dish without me asking)! I am a huge fan of the fresh fish + mango combo and the Mango roll did not disappoint! Haven’t found any rolls in the area yet besides Maji that nail the sweet/umami taste like theirs. Fish is fresh which is always important. I don’t remember what other rolls I tried but none of them were bad. Prices are ok, I think fair given the quality of the sushi. I came once with a friend last month and have already been back twice for takeout!“

“Fresh, delicious and fast service. Definitely will come back for more.“

“It was our very first time here. The staff was very helpful on explaining everything to us. They did serve very decent portions per person. I tried some appetizers and salad and sushi roll and hibachi steak. Everything was so delicious and fresh. Me and my family definitely loved the experience it was great from the time we walked in to seating to service. We will definitely go back for sure.“

“Based on one visit for lunch.

I would give this place another try. I thought the pricing seemed pretty reasonable and the service was good. If this was closer to my house I could see going here from time to time.

As far as strip mall sushi goes this place checks a lot of boxes.“

“My new favorite omakase / sushi place! It is second visit and I brough my friends to catch up and enjoy something new... Every course was full of flavor and picture perfect presentation. Thank you to all the staff who made our dinner so enjoyable. If you can get a seat at the sushi bar, it is even more fun, as you get to see the process and get inspired... :)“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience. Food is amazing. Mr. Max is a small restaurant. It's going to be crowded. There's going to be a wait. Prepare for it and it's worth it. The beef tongue is amazing, the spicy beef ramen to die for.“

“Best sushi ever! Great service. Will definitely come back next time I’m coming through Texas.“

“Food is awesome! We will be back.“

“If you're looking for a sushi experience that goes beyond the traditional, this cozy little gem is an absolute must-visit. Tucked away in a quiet corner, this sushi spot offers not only top-notch sushi but also some truly unique dishes that elevate the dining experience. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, with warm lighting and an open kitchen that lets you watch the chefs work their magic.

The Foie Gras Nigiri is a standout—rich, buttery, and perfectly seared, it pairs surprisingly well with the delicate flavors of the sushi rice and fish. It's an indulgent twist on the classic sushi experience that truly highlights the restaurant's inventive approach. For something truly decadent, the Foie Gras Sushi Roll is a must-try. The combination of tender foie gras, fresh fish, and just the right amount of seasoning creates a dish that's both comforting and sophisticated.“

“The variety of food on the all-you-can-eat menu is great, and our waiter Nathan was incredible. He was on top of everything, and when my daughter said she loved the robot (the machine that brings food to your table) he brought it back out just for her. Definitely a new go-to for us.“

“was greeted as walked in server is very attentive and nice. Very quick service and affordable options that are very tasty. Got the seafood combo boil which was very full. Our food came out very quick prior to ordering and everything was fresh. Will be coming back.😁“

“Every dish was cooked to perfection.

It’s on the pricier side, even more expensive than most sushi omakases in Dallas, but the experience was beyond our expectations. I’m currently pregnant, and they were able to switch out the raw dishes for me to cooked alternatives with prior notice when I made the reservation. Chef Otaka steamed the uni in the dishes that he used uni, and he cooked my yakitori skewers a little longer. We really appreciate the attention to detail.

The Korean couple next to us told Chef Otaka they went to Japan recently and got a reservation at a highly sought after yakitori restaurant there, but they thought Mābo’s yakitori was better. Every bite they took, they would say how delicious it was in Korean.

What’s unfortunate, though, is that the 8:30 PM seating was only half full, which was surprising given that the restaurant accommodates just eight guests. Maybe Dallas isn’t ready for yakitori omakase yet, but we felt like we were in Japan. We loved it!“

“Delicious when we dined in and this time when we did take out! Seaweed salad, avocado roll, tuna roll, salmon roll, inari maki roll, and yaki soba! All delicious. Inari maki is unique, and the taste was so balanced and delectable! And ready in 20 minutes!

“I had the omakase. and was disappointed with the fact there was a heavily fried dish of shrimp and corn that came out mid point of the experience. The sashimi was pretty good but, not too much thought was put into it. Other than the two kind of misteps my overall experience was amazing! the staff was helpful and the flavors were fun! I highly recommend the sesame mousse for dessert and the sea bass melted in your mouth and the soba noodles with the various dipping sauces were to die for ♡“

“Recently ordered steak bento box.

Beef was tender and seasoned well.

California rolls were satisfying and hit the spot.

Gyoza had fresh fried flavor & the texture of the dumpling was perfect. Satisfying.

Egg roll was good.

Service was great.

On previous experiences their sushi was also freshly made and really good. Wished I ordered it this time.

Only minor complaint is that their Wasabi is a bit weak. I prefer stronger Wasabi that burns ?

Other than that, this is one of my top places to go when I decide to eat out.“

“First time here. Ordered takeout due to pandemic. Came on a Friday evening around 7:30pm. Ordered 4 rolls: rainbow roll, dragon roll, Greenville roll, & spicy tuna kiss roll. Presentation is nice. Fish quality is smooth, creamy, and does not have a frozen multiple times texture. Flavor is nice. Roll pieces are actually bite sized and -just- fit in your mouth. (I have a small mouth, so they may fit better in an average person’s mouth). Kind of disappointed with the minuscule amount of wasabi & ginger that came with each dish, but wasabi taste fresh & has adequate spice. Pickled ginger is quite sweet. Overall, everything was good. I’d recommend & I’d come back.“

“Amazing dinner and service! Sakmoto and his team deliver the freshest most delicious food & Ryoko & her staff exceed any expectation you may have!“

“so friendly!! and extremely delicious!!! I asked my six year old to rate his sushi out of 10 and he said his caterpillar roll was 100 out of 10!!!! it was so good with the thin slices of avocado on top! and the crab was a little bit sweet. it was just so yummy!

I got the superman roll and it was spicy and fresh and just enough that I wasn't hungry when I finished it-- the rolls are nice and long like eight or nine pieces each so more filling than I am used to with just one sushi roll.

we also got the crab lover's and it was good too.

we all enjoyed our lunch here!“

“Visited this place last Saturday. The food was absolutely amazing however, we didn't try many of the rolls due to lack of pictures of them & uncertainty about if we'd like them based off just a list of ingredients. Additionally, we found it strange to have the waitstaff lined up against the sushi bar just staring at us as we ate. It was kinda unnerving. The hibachi was some of the best I'd ever had. Definitely a fair price for the quality of food.“

“This lace is absolutely awesome!“

“The food here is always great. My husband and I have loved this place since 2020 and are proud return customers. We’ve been to several sushi spots, but this one remains our top choice. The Ahi Tower was excellent, but the roll could have been better—it needed to be fried more for extra flavor and texture. Surprisingly, the food took quite a while to be served this time.“

“Service was great! Food was good. Fair servings.“

“We are not from the area (Brock, TX) & went before attending the Addison Improv. So glad we did! Excellent service & amazing/fresh sushi. We definitely plan to find a reason to make the drive to dine there again!!“

“The coolest hibachi, food is the bomb“

“I was looking for the good sushi place for a while this place is perfect. First time I order, I wasn’t expected. I was crazy hungry so I just want to try anything makes me feel better. After all, this place is high valuable to eat or togo. Good price, fresh food, and good service.“

“Uber eats delivers this delicious and nutritious sushi, sashimi, and nigiri. I want more now! I got so much I saved some salmon for lunch the next day and it was still good. Try the tuna and unagi. Plenty of wasabi and ginger for all the fish. No rice pn my third order. Price was a lot.“

“I stopped by after my appointment, the service is fast and friendly. The food is reasonably priced and delicious. I’ll be back.“

“Service and food were good. It was a little bit pricier than I expected. I might come back again and try something else on the menu! I loved that the spice level was true spicy! I didn't have to request extra spice.

Parking: Big lot, neighboring businesses close early.“

“GREATEST. TERIYAKI. EVER. And friend, they know it. They are so good they only have to be open for lunch. It's incredible. I am in love with this place. If I have the money, I would beg them to let me franchise this place. It is too good. You could open up one of these anywhere in America and it would just crush it.

When I was young, and I only had a bike, I worked in a warehouse about 2 miles from here. Even in the Texas summer I was happy to make the ride here at least twice a week for lunch. I still try to stop here if I am ever anywhere nearby at lunch.

Seriously, this might be my favorite restaurant of all time. Thank you so much for being a wonderful part of my life and the community for all these years. I really appreciate all the effort that went into those experiences you made for me.“

“Delicious “fireside cooking” or Robatayaki in which items of food on skewers are slow-grilled over hot charcoal. Liver, hart, tongue etc. the fresh items, Sashimi and Sushi are excellent as well. Wonderful services from owner and her staff. Sushi chef’s are excellent prepared sushi at the bar. Love cozy atmosphere as well.“

“Combo fried rice. 5* - wife said it was some of thr best she'd had.
California Roll. 5* - kiddo devoured it.
Soft Tofu Soup (beef). 2* - lacked generally in flavor and spice. Lacked any depth.

Banchan (side dishes) are good and an added bonus.“

“Shinsei ROCKS! Service, ambiance, delicious. Thank you for making it my top 5 favorite spots in Dallas, Texas“

“This is my 2nd time visiting and it was even better than last time. The food was amazing and Tommy is the best!! Tommy made us laugh so much and everyone in his section had a blast. My husband had such a great Father's Day dinner because of him.“

“餐點美味，服務親切，價格合理，座位寬敞，明亮整潔！“

“Friends from Texas recommended this ramen while we were visiting from New York. Hands down the best I've had. The seafood ramen was amazing; super fresh and the portions are perfect. The gyoza was fabulous as well! Looking forward to visiting again and trying out some of your other dishes!“

“This is a very good restaurant

Price is very competitive for their all you can eat lunch or dinner option. It is all you can eat but it is not a buffet. You need to order from the menu to the server and they bring items to you.

We held many special family events such as birthday parties here.“

“We have not been here in several years and I have no idea why. The three of us ordered hot tea, spicy edamame, gyoza. The rolls are huge and incredible. The killer roll was our favorite but the Hawaii, Panic roll and golden Cali were amazing. Service from Ngun was excellent and we spoke with Kim the owner 2 or 3 times as she worked the room. Clearly this is why 23 years success in the food business.“

“The best teriyaki in DFW area! Great taste and fresh food with a good portion size for the price. Even during the lunch hour, the service is quick and friendly. Highly recommend this place!“

“My kids both asked me to leave a 5 star review. Everything was delicious! They ordered lobster ramen and teriyaki chicken and 0 complaints!“

“Great food, friendly staff!“

“What an awesome experience. Amazing food. Will eat here again.“

“My fiancé and I just went in and got take out (our first time here) and the owner greets you with a smile and is very sweet and welcoming. Food is amazing! We had the spicy ramen, tornado sushi, California rolls, and Philadelphia rolls. So good! You have to try“

“This place has great food but even better people. I came back for the first time since my heart attack and I was greeted with hugs and even teary eyes. Such good people!“
