Thai & Japanese Cuisine
This place is amazing. Everything is always delicious & the service is great. I love the daily happy hour from 4-6pm & what is included. I always bring all my friends & they become just as obsessed as I am. As you can see from the pictures, I dine at Madai often๐ Overall, itโs a 10/10 for me ๐๐ฃ๐ฑ
I found my new sushi spot. I just moved here from CO and have been trying different places around the area and this is the best! The rolls were fantastic, and our server was great, super friendly and not pushy at all!
I will be returning!!
This local spot is consistently excellent. The food is fresh with a variety of good (and creative) rolls. And the service is great too. A special shoutout to Elliot who is always super friendly and attentive!
Came here for lunch during the week. Very pleased with the food and staff. The waiter was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about what the dishes contained and how they are prepared. Seemed like a hole In wall type of place but itโs definitely a diamond In the rough.. great relaxed atmosphere and fast service. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Will definitely continue to visit this restaurant.
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, Iโm 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. Iโd 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 โshotโ, I made a face. I wasnโt sure if it was the mixture of sauces, but it was definitely an experience. If youโve never had quail eggs, Iโd 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 service from him!
We discovered Madai during pandemic. So glad they survived the unprecedented difficult time as a local owned restaurant.
From only allowed to ordering takeout back then to now dining in is an option, our experience has always been great here.
We have plenty of favorites:
๐ Chirashi Bowl
๐ Hamachi Kama
๐ Double Crabs
๐ Tom Kha Soup
๐ Drunken Noodles
๐ Pad Woonsen
and their freshly made sushi rolls.
All staffs were friendly, efficient and attentive. Sean and Elliott always took excellent care of us.
If you haven't tried Madai, please do. Highly recommend.
Great fresh sushi. Elliott is our favorite server. Love this place.
Everything we had was wonderful, they produce great quality with great prices. We're looking forward to come back again for more!

Love this place! Great food and service! ๐
We've tried several sushi places around McKinney and this one is by far our favorite! They have a great selection and some unique offerings. Most importantly, the servers and staff here are the absolute kindest, helpful people and recognize us when we come in now.
Elliot and team are the bomb! Thanks guys for the great food.
Today i went here with my 3 kids. We LOVED dining here and Eliot helped us out and he was extremely welcoming and nice with extremely great service. He also helped my little one with chopsticks by giving him chopstick helpers. The food was excellent!!! Love you guys!
Elliot saved our lives. We went out on Sunday afternoon and he was our server. He was super kind and gave amazing recommendations. Without him we wouldnโt be making this review. Will be coming again!
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 unforgivable!
This is our go to sushi place! We love it! The food and service is wonderful!
I chose to have my mom's surprise birthday party at Madai Sushi and I could not be any happier! They were so accommodating to everything that I asked and their food was delicious. I got combination thai fried rice which tasted great and everyone else's food looked good as well! If anyone ever wants to book ahead of time they do reservations which was great planning-wise for me. Thank you so much to the staff of Madai Sushi for a great time. (They even put on the happy birthday song on their speaker system to sing to my mom) I would most definitely come back!
Tried to order online for 10 minutes does not work tried to call the restaurant four times in a row and it just disconnects you after it rings Iโm not sure if theyโre still in business
Food was great, our server had the biggest smile and treated us very well. I wish I could remember his name.
Our absolute favorite place for sushi, noodles, apps and desserts! They have a great kids menu and sushi for happy hour. The food is fresh and our waiter Eliot is always super friendly! They even offer specialty vegan roll (Bangkok roll) which is my fav!
We love this place. The food is always great,the service is exceptional and always welcoming. Very relaxing and the sushi chef always prepares a great meal.
Super fresh sushi and amazing service!!! Will be back weekly.
We have been going to happy hour here for a while. The service is absolutely amazing. They recognize and greet us each time we are there. The sushi is great quality and the happy hour specials for sale are really good. Would highly recommend this to everyone. There is not a restaurant I have been to the has friendlier service
Madai has long been one of my local go tos for a weekday lunch break. Their Basil Thai Chicken over rice is true Asian perfection. The staff is Texas friendly and ever welcoming. They know my usual and are preparing it as a walk up to the door. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. It's rather hidden away at the back side of the strip mall but so worth the search.
Hands down the best sushi Iโve had in McKinney/Frisco. Fresh & full of flavor. Attentive friendly staff. Weโll be back and back and back!
Elliot is the best! He takes great care od us and knows what we want including the ginger tea. The food is always fresh and delicious whether ordering sushi or some of the great dishes! Hidden gem!
Stopped by this place the first time a couple weeks ago and it's already become a new favorite. They have an extensive menu and the food is fantastic. They are super friendly and accommodating- just ask for what you want if you have a special request or preferred cut. On quieter days, it's a laid back atmosphere. They do have happy hour during the week and serve a variety of alcohol, so unsure what this, or a weekend night looks like. Overall, a great place for sushi, poke, rolls, stir fry and more.
Outstanding service and food. A chef who knows his craft very well and fantastic presentation.
Has become a regular Sunday visit for us.
Yummy food! Love the food, service, and atmosphere of this local eatery. We stop by for lunch or dinner regularly.
Madai has delicious food and a comfortable atmosphere. Elliott is amazing and kind. We tried Thai dishes, sushi, and desserts for a birthday! Everything was fantastic! You should definitely come here!
food was so good I didnโt even think abt taking photos it was so good. Server was amazing. Restaurant was calm and nice environment. ELLIOT YOU DESERVE THE BIGGEST FATTEST RAISE EVER TYSM โผ๏ธโผ๏ธโผ๏ธโผ๏ธโผ๏ธโผ๏ธ๐ซต๐ซต๐ซต๐ซต๐ซต
The Bangkok roll was delicious. Thai curry could be better - with more thicker and more gravy. Also, I think they were short staffed, though they were really trying their best!
Love how fresh their sushi is! And their Thai food is equally amazing.
I ordered to go for pickup. The staff was friendly upon my arrival and packed everything with care. The food was tasty and fresh.
My husband and I are having a wonderful date night here! We are sitting on a cute outdoor patio. The waiter has been witty and charming. He made great recommendations! We got the Ginger Stir Fry with level 3 spice, Mango Roll, Vegetable Roll, Tamago, and Thai Rolls Pork. All the food was great! Highly recommend!!!!
Though I was not the biggest sushi lover - Madai changed that! My boyfriend and I have visited this place multiple times this month, and it is AMAZING every time! The service is extremely fast, the staff is so kind, and the quality of the food is excellent. Please visit this place, get the Louisiana roll, & thank me later! ;)
Delicious food and amazing service to match
Lovely restaurant, nice people, good food. Also every flavor Ramune if you like Ramune
some of the best customer service ive got. food is also some of the best sushi ive had. the worker elliot is so cool and funny ty elliot - benny and sadie
Awesome sushi and very friendly service. They were so patient and kind with our little kiddos too. Great food!!
Family friendly!!!! We had the best experience at Madai! We came in with our children and our waiter was so nice and accommodating! There was a lot of us and he was so patient! Loved the food too! We will definitely be going back!
i personally didn't think there was anything too special about this place. got a couple of rolls and they were tasty but nothing to write home about
Great food and service. Love the fried rice and rolls
Delicious sushi. We planned to try both Thai and sushi but after the first couple rolls came out, we were hooked. Next time we will try some Thai dishes... maybe

The food was delicious, the staff was amazing, will definitely return
This place is a hidden gem in McKinney. The staff is always very friendly.
Fresh, tasty food and extremely friendly service!
Very nice place. Customer service is phenomenal and the employees are very friendly. Would definitely come again. Elliot is great.
I go here quite often for lunch and dinner. The food is super yummy. I think they put a lot of effort into each dish. It seems they use quality ingredients. In addition, each of their team members is especially friendly, courteous, and just real nice to be aroundโevery time. I will keep coming back.
Loved the food and the super friendly service!
Awesome food with a great staff always caring about the client experience.
Great local place. Really good selection of rolls. The staff are super friendly and provide excellent service.
Excellent food
One of my favorite places for sushi rolls.
Great sushi. Great service. Local family owned gem.

Best ever
Food tasted okay and seemed bit expensive.
Great happy hour
One of those rare combinations of good food, fair pricing, with excellent service in a clean environment. Highly recommend!!
You cannot go wrong with the rolls here. Quality is high here. Also the curries are amazing! Service is always good. So glad this place is close by.
Outstanding food and service. Presentation of Tuna Sashimi was 10/10, and service was engaging and personable - exceeded expectations in every way. Highly recommend - unassuming and AWESOME all around
This place has the best sushi of all the places I've ever tried. Highly recommend the bonsai roll!
Good service staff, fair prices on rolls and entrees.
One of my favorite places
The place is friendly and family oriented with a vibe that transport visitors across the Pacific ocean to a Thai/Oriental place thay has a vibe that keeps me coming back for more and more. The servers are gentlemen of character and present themselves with professionalism. I generally get the Padwusen (forgive my spelling) on every order paired with a quest to try somethi g new on each visit. If you are in the McKinney area looking for a good Thai place with a unique take on various sushi dishes. Please stop by!!!
Every time I go here the customer service is so great, always fresh sushi, and the drunken noodles are divine. Each time I come in they greet me by name and its such an inviting cozy place.
This place is not directly visible from the street, but has so many sushi options compared to our usual places! I'm very satisfied with both dine in and take out. I've been here twice now and will be back again!
I'm eager to try the Thai food.
Solid neighborhood sushi shop. It was odd that I had to ask for my own wasabi and ginger. Tom yum had very large vegetables, so maybe they should be chopped. Friendly staff. Decent sushi.
We go here quite often. My daughter loves the Alaskan Roll Sushi ๐ฃ I've not had anything I didn't like from the menu. The staff are very friendly and know us by name when we dine in. Great place for a quick take out as well!
This was first time we went to this Japanese and sushi bar. Although sushi looked so tempting but we decided to try other things first. So we ordered Tom-Yum soup and some dumplings. All the food tastes good and flavourful. I wish we could have said 1 on spice level. Ambience was great, colorful and clean. Cozy environment, not a big place for sitting but there was decent space. We will go again and explore some sushi ๐ฃ.
Disappointed with the service. Only one server working, took about 10 minutes to be welcomed and given a menu. Waited about 15 more minutes while other customers were greeted promptly and given drinks. Once they took orders of two people who came in after, I left.
We absolutely love Madai! Excellent service, delicious food, great experience all around!! The waiters are very friendly and get to know you. They have our order memorized when we walk in. Very comfortable atmosphere with delicious, fresh food. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, it's all good. My go-to is the beef teriyaki and my husband loves the miso soup and sushi menu, rainbow and spider rolls in particular. Madai is a true gem to the Frisco/McKinney community ๐ฃ
Service is always great and food is amazing!
I love, love, love this restaurant. The server is amazing. Food is a 5 star. Very clean.
The best place for quick, fast pick up. I love their basic rolls and fried rice. They also carry a wonderful plum sake called moonstone. I personally like to pick up rather than go inside bc they have a pretty small inside and patio as well. I wouldn't recommend for a date night bc it's pretty casual but it's my favorite in West McKinney Frisco area. Like if this helped you!
Order anything but the sushi!
Their fish is bad in the raw sushi and has a very bad smell to it. Woke up with food poisoning this morning and this is the last thing I ate yesterday. Highly not recommended
I had the rainbow roll and beef skewers both were awful and old
Wow โฆ This is such a hole in the wall place that has amazing Sushiโs and the most friendly staffโฆ
We went for husband birthday because he loves Japanese food. He ordered the galamari, deep fry tofu for appetizers, the sashimi combo and tariyaki chicken bento box for the kid.
Husband loved the deep fry tofu and sashimi combo.
The customer service was good too.
The only thing I didn't give a five star is the portion of kid bento box was smaller than I expected.
Will come back again!
Madai is our favorite place to go! Delicious food and great service!!!
Wonderful service, my waiter was Shaun. Shaun was major on point from friendliness to service of food. I recommend him highly!!
Thanks for the excellent service ๐
Honestly havenโt seen better customer service & friendly staff anywhere else. Will keep coming just for them, food is tasty and authentic as expected.
Some of the best sushi we've found in the 'burbs! Staff is quick and friendly and the portions are very generous. A favorite place for our family!
Good food horrible customer service, the person who answers the phone should be fired!! Not helpful didnโt send my kids rolls and when I asked to reorder was cold and rude, left my kids hungry and crying!!
The servers were so nice
they advertise being open, with the open sign on, then tell customers to leave because they close in 15 minutes. I get it, but if you don't want people walking in then turn off the open sign and lock your door and adjust your hours of operation to accommodate for cleaning and prepping for the later shift.
Excellent sushi restaurant
The place is packed out this veterans day. Amazing sushi and fried rice
I came to this location several times and the service was always great. They keep the restaurant clean.
We dined in and the service was great, and the food was delicious. It started to get busy as soon as we got there and realized we came at the right time. It was around 6:15 on a Friday night.
It didn't take them long to have my food out so that's always a plus.
$60 of over fried, dry food. Couldnโt finish bc the fish just didnโt smell or taste right.
Good asian food for with the correct cost.
Very very good food. The staff goes the extra mile to make the experience even better. Go there and enjoy.
We have been coming here pretty regularly since about two years ago when we moved to the area. The staff is always so kind and professional and some of the rolls have been the best Iโve had! This is definitely our favorite place to get sushi in the area!
Holly freaking bechisssuss!!
Dude!!
The food was unbelievable, we ordered the Dinamote lobster roll and is was soooo pretty!!
Calamari was on point, he'll even the water tasted amazing lol
Great place to eat... we will be back!
PS: the picture does not justify the actual size of the rolls, they are huge!!
It's good, definitely will be back. Super friendly Staff.
ordered two take away orders for me and my wife - pad thai and drunken noodles. portion are so less, we had to order another full entrรฉe from a different restaurant. food taste is good
Great Thai dishes. Sushi is ok
Good value. Great service. Good sushi and sashimi for the price.
Update: I last reviewed 3 years ago. This place is still 5 stars and awesome. Keep it up!
Shout out to Elliot, A1 customer service!
Very helpful.
Fresh sushi!
Our go to spot, usually get the roll and fried rice and both are great. Service is also always top notch, and their prices seem right in line with what I'd expect. The only downside is they are closed Mondays, which always seems to be the day we want it! Lol
We moved in the area about a year ago and we probably go here at least once a week either to dine in or take out. The atmosphere is pretty bare-bones but the food is phenomenal and everybody is very friendly
Super yum....
Came here for lunch during the week. Very pleased with the food and staff. The waiter was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about what the dishes contained and how they are prepared. Seemed like a hole In wall type of place but itโs definitely a diamond In the rough.. great relaxed atmosphere and fast service. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Will definitely continue to visit this restaurant.
One our favorite places.
Great food and service
Happy hour is awesome! Roll selection on point, and our waiter was chill, laid back but attentive. We will be back many times.
Wow ๐คฉ such amazing food, this is truly a gem ๐ I highly recommend the poke tacos ๐ฎ and the jelly sake drink ๐น Service was great, and food didnโt take too long to come out. Location isnโt fancy but itโs very clean and somewhat cozy. Will definitely be back again with my friends and family!
Amazing food and very friendly waiter. I wouldโve preferred for them to tell me the iced tea was u sweetened before I ordered it but regardless it was a very good place with amazing food. I recommend the shrimp tempura roll.
Fresh food. They should not charge for extra peanut sauce.... seems unreasonable
Great pad kee meow, i.e. drunken noodles
Fantastic sushi and my favorite in this area! Surprised me how great it is because itโs hidden in a strip mall but the sashimi and sushi were fresh, the service was fantastic. We have ordered delivery (grubhub) twice and it was delivered perfectly and as ordered! Two thumbs up! Glad to have found and tried this great spot
So good, such unique options available if youโre adventurous, and all the classics of youโre not. Great ingredients and very friendly service, all at a reasonable price.
I am OBSESSED with Madai Sushi. If I could eat here 5 days a week I would. We have been ordering from here for over a year. My husband and I usually order the same thing. Not once have we ever experienced an issue with our food or service. Itโs quality every single time.
Sushi chef purposely did not prepare our chirashi order and tried to blame on the server.
Decent sushi. Happen to be there at happy hour so it was inexpensive.
Delicious food and amazing service
Great service and food and Happy Hour everyday
For my money one of the better sushi places in the area food wise. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired . If you want really good sushi go here
Incredible staff! Very friendly and quick.
Really delicious food and excellent service!
Its very delicious, to be honest. The sushi tastes good, and the sake tastes refreshing! The chocolate cake tastes fresh, and ill admit i havent tried everything, but its so good i look forward to the time i come back.
Excelent service ! Food as well !.
