Mr. Max: The Ultimate Guide to Dallas' Best Izakaya! 🔥

📍 Mr. Max Izakaya 3028 N Belt Line Rd, Irving, TX 75062 ✨ Great Value for Money, with an average spend of $50-80 per person Mr. Max has two locations: the original store in Irving and a newer one in Richardson. 🔸 The Irving store is close to the airport and always bustling, often requiring a wait. Some seats require you to take off your shoes. The small space and large crowd mean the smell can be quite complex—some might say it’s the “foot aroma” that draws people in! 🔸 The Richardson store doesn’t require waiting. If you’re not in a hurry, I highly recommend the original store! Reservations are available for groups of three or more. You can find the menu on their official website as a PDF. 📝 Must-Order Dishes: 🍣 5 Kind Sashimi Three pieces each of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, mackerel, and octopus, plus two pieces of sweet shrimp. You can upgrade to toro for an additional fee, or add more slices of each type. The yellowtail and sweet shrimp are especially delicious! 🍲 Stewed Beef & Tofu A warm, comforting dish of braised beef and tofu, perfect for warming up on a cold winter day. 🦑 Pan-Fried Squid with Butter This dish is so good you won’t want to stop eating it! ⚠️ Make sure you order the pan-fried version, not grilled squid—they’re quite different. 🐟 Grilled Yellowtail Collar While the grilled fish is pretty standard, this dish stands out with its yuzu sauce, giving it a crispy exterior and tender interior. #IzakayaFood #JapaneseCuisine #JapaneseDining #DallasFood #DallasJapaneseFood
