Madai Sushi — Restaurant in Frisco

I came here with a friend last weekend based on his recommendation. This restaurant used to be a Thai restaurant and had either a change of ownership or expanded their menu. Anyways, when we arrived, we were welcome fairly quickly and asked where we wanted to sit. Originally, we decided the bar area but ended up moving to a table nearby. Our waiter, Sean, greeted us and provided us with 2 menus - a paper one and a more descriptive menu with pictures and ingredients. We were also served warm water with lemon in a mug. Sean was helpful in giving his recommendations when we wanted to decide our order. We ordered Veggie Egg Rolls for our appetizer. We also added on a Bonsai Roll, Cosmo Roll, Wasabi Caviar, and Quail Eggs.

We received the Veggie Egg Rolls fairly quickly. It was served fresh and hot. The pastry in itself was very flaky and I enjoyed the bite of the egg roll. It went really well with the duck sauce. Next, we received the Bonsai Roll and Cosmo Roll. The Bonsai Roll had spicy yellowtail and avocado in the middle, and was topped with albacore tuna. I really enjoyed the ponzu sauce on the side of the plate and it tasted fresh. I generally lean more towards smoked salmon when I get sushi so the Cosmo Roll was interesting. The Cosmo Roll had cream cheese and smoked salmon. The exterior of the roll was lightly fried with some tempura batter so it added some sweetness. The crunch and texture was really good. This was probably my most favorite roll of the 2.

My friend had never had caviar before so we originally ordered the black caviar because we noted that we indicated it was buttery in the menu. Unfortunately, we were informed that the black caviar had run out so they offered Tobiko (red caviar) and Wasabi Caviar. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of wasabi in excess so I was hesitant towards it. My friend, however, is a huge fan so we ended up getting it. I was very very surprised by the taste. The wasabi was not overpowering and it was surprisingly good when served with the nori. I’d love to give the black caviar a try. We also ordered quail eggs and that was new for me. They were served with the top taken off and a mixture of sauces were added on top. As soon as I took this “shot”, I made a face. I wasn’t sure if it was the mixture of sauces, but it was definitely an experience. If you’ve never had quail eggs, I’d recommend giving this a try.

Ultimately, I plan to go here again. My experience here was quite nice, and I look forward to trying other dishes. I also have to thank Sean, our waiter, for being patient and very helpful. We received top notch...

If you are a person who truly enjoys Sushi, then you need to visit Madai Sushi. It is a cozy establishment, immaculately clean and orderly. While no one tells you to keep your voice down, the volume of people talking is low and respectful. The food is authentic and delicious. The sushi not only tastes wonderful but it is presented like art. My friend and I started out by ordering two different items off the sushi menu and as we were cleaning that up we decided to order one more sushi plate and we were accommodated immediately. I like basic soy sauce with wasabi mustard mixed in. My friend liked eel sauce and kept asking for extra which was brought to him immediately. The service was efficient, non intrusive but attentive as our waiter appeared out of thin air whenever we were ready to ask for something. We paid the bill and were thanked for being their guest. I love to eat sushi. I appreciate good service and folks being polite. Madai...

If you like Wasabi with your Sushi do not order from Madai or make sure you have some on hand. We ordered $94.00 worth of Sushi for delivery. When our food arrived there was no Wasabi. I called the restaurant and talked to the Manager. When I asked him why they wouldn't include Wasabi in a $94.00 order he said that they did and he personally handed the Wasabi to the delivery person...when I asked him why would you hand a delivery person a bag of food and separately hand them a side of Wasabi instead of putting it in the bag? He just repeated his answer, when I asked the question again he refused to answer the question repeated himself and hung up the phone. Needless to say I will NOT order from them again. It is bad enough that they forgot the Wasabi but then to lie about it and with such a ridiculous lie is...
