This is a really good Japanese spot that you should definitely try. I’ve been to a lot of Japanese spots in Dallas and this gets my stamp of approval.
The sushi is really good here. They have amazing unagi (eel) sushi. The smoked salmon sushi was so warm and good.
Definitely order their black cod! I always order that at Japanese spots and it doesn’t disappoint here. It’s incredible! So warm, soft & flavorful!
Beef gyoza was really good too and so crisp on the outside! Wasn’t a fan of the green tea ice cream or seaweed salad.
If you're in uptown and craving sushi, look no further than this gem of a restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. 🤤☺️🍣
The menu is diverse, catering to both traditional and adventurous palates. My personal favorites were the Rainbow Roll and the Uni Sake Shooter. The Rainbow Roll was a delightful mix of fresh fish, perfectly balanced with creamy avocado and crisp cucumber. Each bite was a symphony of flavors and textures.
The Uni Sake Shooter was an experience in itself. The briny, creamy sea urchin paired with smooth sake was an umami bomb that left a lasting impression.
Service was impeccable, with attentive staff who are knowledgeable about the menu and eager to make recommendations. The ambiance, coupled with top-notch sushi, makes this place a must-visit. Highly recommended for any sushi lover! 🩷☺️
We were visiting Dallas and felt like having sushi and found this gem. It's a cozy restaurant with great rolls/sushi/sashimi. For sashimi, we tried fatty tuna belly, sea urchin and mackerel. Those were fresh and flavorful. We also tried some of our goto rolls (a spider roll, a rainbow roll and a dragon roll) and loved it too. Then at the end the chef made us torched salmon sushi, on the house! It was a nice surprise and the sushi melted in the mouth too. Overall we loved the food and experience so strongly recommend this place 🙂
My other half was at the Stars game so I wandered down McKinney Ave — and I’m so glad I did. Maji Sushi was awesome and I can’t wait to go back.
Maji is a great neighborhood, laid back spot. The restaurant is small and uncomplicated with a menu that feels fairly similar. Unlike some of the chains that feature a Bible-sized menu full of rolls, it’s a digestible selection with everything you need… from simple to even a handful of deep fried options.
Beer, wine, sodas and sake — no full bar, which doesn’t bother me. House Pinot Grigio was great.
Where I feel like Maji truly shines is the sashimi. I personally ordered the tuna, salmon and scallop. You’ll see from my photo how thick the cuts were and the chef, who I believe might also be the owner, ended up giving me the bigeye tuna because “the color was gorgeous.” Indeed it was!
Super affordable, super fresh, and I’m super glad we’ve got this great, locally-owned spot in uptown. Check it out.
This is a small, cozy restaurant with jazzy music in the background. The fish was excellent and they were very generous with the cuts.
They have a ton of different rolls and I found them to be quite good. Some were better balanced than others, but it was quite good and adventurous chosing.
My only nitpicks are with the service and desert . They only offer ice creams with desert and given they high quality sushi, I thought they might have something to seal the night off with (although I was way too full this first trip).
My second complaint was the service. The servers were a bit difficult to get information from. They were nice and courteous, but given their extensive menu, I felt more interaction of helping to find popular dishes would be helpful.
Overall, A+. You're going to be getting good, large pieces of fish and walking out both full and with spending a reasonable amount.
