MaO Izakaya & Sushi

Maybe this is too new! Waitress are so nice but still don’t know what to do, like our plate was full of bones and other stuff! They didn’t know to change plates! All food tasted like the same favor nothing special! Fish not too fresh! But bake rolls and fire rolls are good! And also a little bit pricey! Made people don’t wanna come back again!

We came at 4:30 pm for dinner during the soft opening. The smaller menu offers enough varieties to sample the various specialties. We ordered the sashimi combo, deep fried chicken, dragon roll, skewers of beef tongue, unagi, and prime beef, hot tea and cold sake in a glass jar. Both food and service were excellent. We will definitely return.

We went to try this new place near our house. Glad we did they are still in soft opening so I am cutting them some slack.

Loved their ramen was fresh and light. They had better noodles than marugame in the lot! Chicken karage was amazing. The yakitori for chicken was good but I like them more charged. Did not like the shrimp yakitori.
Sushi rice was a bit overcooked and did not maintain structure but liked the flavor of the sushi.

The interiors are amazing and service is top notch. Definitely will be visiting again. Great competition for amakara.

My family and I went on the first day of their soft opening for dinner. It was super good and fresh! The service was amazing -- Everyone was so nice and couldn't be more helpful and hospitable.

First off, the food was great! Even though the menu was limited (because of the soft opening) we tried a variety of sushi rolls and were not disappointed. The Hawaiian Roll was amazing and the Crunchy Spicy Tuna was very unique and great for sharing! (Spicy tuna comes on top of a chip, rather than inside rice and seaweed. See the photo ;)) The tempura roll off of the classics menu was great too! Portion sizes were surprisingly large and filling!

Drink options right now consists of beer, wine, sake, and your normal soft drinks. I think a full bar is coming soon, so fingers crossed!

The only thing/suggestion I would say is that a lot of the rolls include crab. If you aren't a fan of crab, the options are slightly limited. One menu change moving forward I would like to see is to have less rolls with crab inside -- Variety is key, but not knocking off any points since they literaly just opened and have a limited menu.

All in all, It's nice to have a new, good, less expensive, friendly, AND less crowded option than Amakara. Can't wait to see this place succeed! The owner is very nice and hopeful! We will be back for sure!!

We are here on their first day open and it was so delicious!! The staff is super attentive and friendly. Although their menu was limited, there were a good number of options. My favorite was the Ebi Mao and the Chicken Katsu. Our friends loved the chicken Karage (very moist inside). The inside of the restaurant was very beautiful. Prices were very reasonable. I would definitely come back!!
Highly recommend!!
