Cute little hole in the wall- family owed restaurant. They were all super friendly. All the rolls are pretty standard Dallas prices $11-$20 rolls. I got the golden California roll and the Cajun Crawfish Roll. I thought they were both good, I didn't think they were over the top or anything, but I've heard that their really good rolls are raw. So since mine weren't the raw rolls, maybe that's why I wasn't blown away. If you order a soft drink, they come from the bottle (not fountain), which is totally fine. Overall I'd go back.
Great sushi place! We had the toro, hamachi and sweet shrimp and all were so fresh. Service was excellent in this quaint neighborhood place. We were pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the seafood. We will definitely be returning.
Had a great dining experience here! Was traveling for work and was seeking a solo sushi date and this was the perfect spot! I got to sit right in front of sushi chefs, watching them make the different rolls which I always enjoy. Service was quick and friendly. The sushi was delicious and fresh. Would definitely return if they had one of these where I live. Would recommend for a great, casual sushi spot.
A fantastic dining experience. The service was great, food was excellent, and a small business environment. Let me start with the Philly. We started with Shishido peppers and the yellowtail carpaccio. Also, the cucumber, shrimp and squid salad was awesome. We were a bunch of rules, which were all good. Everything was fresh and the temperature of the sushi was perfect not too cold or too warm like some places. We closed out the night with a tempura fried green tea ice cream.
Cute little neighborhood sushi place. It is intimate and small inside. The waiters are very attentive. I think it would have been helpful to know what the special of the day was and maybe some recommendations. Would definitely come back to try more ideas and hopefully can catch their lunch special.
Really good fresh sushi. Casual and comfortable decor. I good selection of rice less rolls as well as
I have to admit when I arrived I was bothered because it smelled like there might be some plumbing issues. I thought, let's just eat fast and get going since the reviews are great. After ordering, our food didn't come for close to an hour. About 50 minutes, I kindly asked if she knew why it was taking so long. She mentioned there was only one chef for the day and he takes his time. I regretted asking because the quality was so good. My friend said "I saw he takes his time like he is perfecting each piece." I tried the unagi, I've never paid $5 for *one* piece and I couldn't help but order a few more! The chef later came over to apologize and offered a discount. I said no we can not accept(the food and quality was too good, worthy of the cost and wait.) He offered dessert and we couldn't pass that up lol the cheesecake was absolutely divine, I could cry. Overall I can see the chef is very passionate about his craft and must have learned from someone who also takes pride in their craft. Would love to eat here again.
Bright and Cheerful Neighborhood Sushi Bar. Friendly and Attentive Service. With future visits, I'll be skipping their heavily battered 'shrimp tempura' and not refined 'rice'. Instead of ordering sushi, I am anticipating to be smiling big once again at their generous portions of incredibly fresh "Sashimi", including Toro; Yellowtail; and, Shima-Aji! CHEERS!
I am a little bit torn on posting this review. Maji has some of the best sushi I've ever had, but I hope it doesn't get too busy to where I can never get a table. We started with the shrimp tempura because they were out of the baby octopus tempura. The shrimp was very good, and the batter was light and crispy. Octopus next time! Next, we moved onto the salmon tartare which has a very unique presentation, and it was amazing - - fresh salmon and perfectly ripe avocados topped with an egg yolk. It is always difficult to get a runny egg just right, and this one was perfect. It was runny but with a little bit of stickiness that helped hold everything together in the dish. After that, we got 2 types of nigiri, unagi and a different type of maguro (forgot the name but melts in the mouth). Then, the chef brought out an additional tuna with a special soy sauce that was slightly seared. It was phenomenal and had a slightly smoky taste to it. We tried the Snow Mountain Roll (yellowtail, crab, white tuna with rice and two sauces) and the Tuna Lover Roll (no rice, salmon, crab, and avocado wrapped in soy paper then topped with tuna and yuzu ponzu). The inside is cute and only holds 39 people. The only suggestion I have is to put some pillows along the bench seat to lean against. They serve all filtered water, and the service was great. Dallas really needs more restaurants like this that are small, cozy, and unique with character. Everything here was top-notch! Highly recommend and added some photos of the dishes we tried and the inside (at lunchtime).
