I wanted to give a 4 star because of portion sizes. However that felt unfair since all the dishes were very good. Especially the broccoli from the salad bar! I do not know what they add but the crunch and flavor was on point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spot is small and quaint but still felt comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The person who took order at the counter was friendly. Overall good location. read more

Makiboy - Spicy Shrimp Ramen - Asian Fusion Near Me - Irving, Texas

Tried this place based on the reviews and how convenient it is to my job. I had the Spicy Pork and the crispy egg rolls. Loved the dish and appetizer! When I went inside the hostess let me know I could get a side to take away. I chose the broccoli and it was delicious too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small restaurant, located in a strip mall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the staff were friendly, food is fresh, and I highly recommend. I enjoyed my entire meal. read more

The food is tasty and well-prepared, definitely worth trying. Service is decent, though nothing extraordinary. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is quite small, with limited seating, and unfortunately there's no outdoor or patio option.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On the plus side, parking is very convenient since it's located in a strip mall with plenty of free spaces. read more

I really don't understand how this place is getting so many 5-star reviews. 1. The quality of the sushi rice was terrible. It tasted overcooked and didn't even taste like sushi rice. 2. Quality of the fish was similarly bad. 3. The rolls were not tightly wrapped - they would fall apart as soon as you picked it up with your chopsticks. 4. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Poor ambience. The tables were dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 5. You could make an argument for value, but I don't buy sushi by the pound. read more

This was the worst sushi restaurant I have ever been too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First off the minute you walk through the door it smells like sewage.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I should've left then. Okay then we order 1 roll it was called the Florida roll. We substituted the salmon for extra crab. We split the roll and I think we ate 2 pieces out of the whole roll. It tastes like mayo. It was not good at all. We also ordered eel sauce which was not that. It was thick like paste and brown. Then we ordered the spicy mayo and it tasted like straight mayo. Anyway 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

Makiboy - Florida roll no salmon extra crab - Asian Fusion Near Me - Irving, Texas

Maki Boy is everything you want in a simple Asian meal. The portions are huge, the food is excellent, and the entire place smells awesome! The fried rice dishes might need a pinch of salt or msg, but the textures, flavors, and oils are wonderful. The spicy pork might be the best thing on the menu. Tofu costs $3 extra as of November 2023, but there are vegetarian dishes even without tofu. Service is pretty lacking but that's their business model. You have to order at the front, then find a table in a very small area, and a cook will bring out your food. Nobody will ever check how you're doing minus water refills. That aside, it's an excellent place and I'd eat here any time! read more

What a beautiful surprise! At first glance, I didn't think our experience was going to be fantastic, but what an incredible evening. The ambiance. The service. The food. All of it was amazing! The ordering process was great, but would've love to see a menu sooner rather than at the counter. Seating is first come first served, but service was fast and helped turned tables. Food was fresh, tasty and honestly a hidden delight! We will be back! read more

Price vs. Quality can't be beat. Their daily special is a great deal!

I came here regularly, the price is great, and then place is cozying. I really like the food, the service is like a to go restaurant, nothing fancy, but great lunch place. Highly recommend. read more

The service was nice and they have unlimited side broccoli and cucumber, which the broccoli tasted pretty good with a hint of peanut butter. I don't think their chicken bowl worth a try at all. However, their price is extremely good for the quality of their sushi. The sushi was tasty and filling. read more

I come here like 1-2 times a week it's so affordable and delicious. By chance does anyone know how to make their Udon broth it's amazing!!!

First thing- I really have liked Maki Boy, especially their other location. I was craving some udon soup and was in the area. The plaza where this is located is a little on the sketchy side, but no biggie. I ordered udon soup with a five piece sushi combo. I never appreciate how I am asked for a tip when I am paying prior to the food. Also, it was to go. I sat at the bar waiting for my to-go order. And I waited. And waited. I have never had to wait that long at their other restaurant. I watched people come and go. The employees consisted of three young women and the man making sushi. The one female at the counter was a young Hispanic girl who appeared to be more engrossed with trying to look cute rather than the customers. After she served a man who came in at least 15 minutes after me, I asked about my order. She let me know it was ready (really?) and handed me my order. This was at the THIRTY MINUTE wait! The ding-dong I Take Selfies employee bagged my hot udon in the same sack as the sushi.... Um, hot food with raw fish... thanks I am giving three stars because the udon was really tasty. I didn't eat the warm sushi since I was afraid it would make me sick. read more

I love trying new things! Loved the food options. I definitely will try again next time and try other options

We LOVE sushi and Makiboy has some amazing rolls!! We loved the Shimp Fire roll and the monster roll. Also had the spicy pork bulgogi and spicy chicken ramen which were fantastic. Also super quick service! read more

Oh Maki Boy how you've fallen. The past 2 times I've ordered, you have not met your previous delicious standard. The gyoza was flat, soggy, and lukewarm. I wasn't impressed with the quality of fish used on the rainbow roll. I order the same thing pretty much every time, and the issues are the same. It makes me sad. read more

Good food. Good service. Nice ppl that allow you to enjoy your food in peace. The spicy ramen is 10/10

Went to Maki Boy the other day! We got kimchi fried rice and an eel dish. I really enjoyed the eel dish. The flavor was very good. The kimchi fried rice was good but I thought it would be better topped with sriracha. (Sriracha costs extra) I will definitely go again and try some other dishes! read more

The price was good but the food was really average, it is like McDonalds for sushi, you may go there just to get full but it is not a real sushi read more

I didn't get to take a picture but I got an eel roll and a salmon teriyaki and for the most part this place was good. The few things I didn't like is the salmon wasn't really seasoned. The spicy mayo just tasted like mayo and ketchup and if you go be prepared to WAIT it was a long wait. Now I say that but understand I went at 12:00pm during lunch. Nonetheless I would recommend this place read more

The best sushi in town, no question! The staff is typically nice unless you go too close to closing and then they can get a little rude, understandably I guess. The music in the restaurant itself is WAY too loud so my husband and I usually just order to go! read more

Awesome experience, first time here we decided to order sushi as opposed of the habachi. The waiters were very attentive when it came to basic services and ensuring that the meals wete warm and prepared properly. The two drinks we had were just the right amount of alcohol and did not seemed to be watered down or shorted. I would definitely be coming to this particular restaurant again and trying the other in Dallas as well. read more

SO GOOD! first they were very nice and let us stay for around 20 minutes past their closing time! it was not very polite of us but thank you so much!! the eel donburi was DELICIOUS. make sure you use the sauce. the kimchi fried rice was also DELICIOUS. kimchi and fried rice go together very well. they have a lot of nice ban chan-type appetizers that you can start out with as well :) a very lovely hole-in-the-wall restaurant read more

Sushi was great!! Will return. Love a good hole in the wall. Pretty much self serve you order and pay at the counter & grab as much wasabi and ginger you need which I loved because I love both and usually have to ask for more. read more

I came here a little while ago for a quick dinner before a flight at DFW. Highly recommend it! Pros: + Convenient - it's really close to the airport, so if you want to eat before flying, I highly recommend this spot. + Fast - I don't think we had to wait very long for our food. Probably 10 minutes tops? + Friendly service + Sides bar - OMG, they have the most amazing sides that are help yourself while you're waiting for your food. Cons: - A little pricey for the type/quality you are getting. read more

Tried for dinner last night and wow it was good! Had the nigiri sampler (5 piece). For $13 it was AMAZING. My new go to sushi spot!

Not the most exciting decor nor food, but given the location, I could potentially see how this place averaged 4 stars if there aren't any other sushi places nearby. We we not greeted at the door so we assumed that it was a seat yourself restaurant. After about 10 minutes and no waiter, we got up to ask if we were supposed to order at the counter - the answer is yes to save yourself some time. I ordered the spider roll, which was a pretty large portion. Nothing spectacular but was filling. My friend ordered the pork katsu which was very dry and bland. It came with a heap of white rice and a plain "salad" of lettuce and not much topping of any sort. read more

Makiboy - Spider roll. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Irving, Texas

You really can't go wrong with makiboy. This is our go to spot when we don't know what to cook for dinner or if we're just in a rush and want to snack. I love the self-service kimchi bar that they have because I go crazy with kimchi. I usually get the chef special so that I can get a variety of sushi however the sashimi salad is amazing! It's also humongous. Fried rice is really good and they'll even give it to you and a pineapple which is cute and tropical. This is a hotspot in Irving so expect to see your neighbors or old school mates if you went to school in the area. The sushi Bar is cute and the kitchen staff is friendly. read more

I usually don't give reviews, but when I do there's a problem with the establishment. This is my first time here and will be the last. I went to Maki boy for lunch due to the good reviews on google. I ordered spicy sauce udon as in picture. Udon was ok, i would rate it 3 out of 5. However, I went back to work and it was around 3 pm ish when things went bad. I felt nausea, and vomited 5 times. I had to stop working and kept running back and forth to the restroom. My colleagues kept asking if I were Ok and my face looked completely pale. I ended up vomiting until nothing left, but bile. I went home taking bismol and only drank electrolyte water. This morning I feel better and was sure I had food poisoning from Maki boy as that morning I didn't have anything but a banana. To Maki manager, please preserve your food properly and do not serve spoiled seafood... Thanks read more

This place is always amazing. Very generous sushi size and the side of brocoli is amazing. Service is nothing special but if you're craving sushi, this is definitely the place to be. Nothing better than a "hole in the wall" restaurant read more

This place is always delicious and tasty. One of the best places around in the area for sushi. My wife and I usually split the chicken fried rice and get a sushi item each. You can't go wrong with dine in or carryout. read more

This place is a combination of the Japanese and Korean food. The sushi was good but the Korean spicy pork was just okay. This was my first visit and I was a bit confused whether it was a self service or full service restaurant. It turns out to be a semi-self service meaning that you would take the menu from the register, find your own seats then order your food and pay at the register. You would pick up your own drink and side dishes. However, staff would bring food at your table. It seems to me that the management applies a "stay in the middle" strategy to its operations and food items. In my view, it is not a good approach because it would be hard to stay in mix markets to remain competitive. They practice social distancing and staff is very friendly. I would give this place a second try in the future and will update my review accordingly. Lots of free parking. read more

Maki Boy is a great hole in the wall! Ambiance is pretty eclectic with limited seating. Place was popping on a Sunday night with both dine in and to go orders. The menu offers great variety at reasonable prices. My fiancee and I enjoy coming here for a more affordable date night. Our favorites include the ahi tower, alaskan roll, and sashimi salad. Also the side dishes are quite good! This place will fill you up without breaking the bank. read more

Makiboy is very down to earth restaurant that serves a large portion at very reasonable price. Their quality of sushi is not the best in town, but it is not bad either. In fact, for the price, it is such a good deal! We love Makiboy and frequently visited for the past few years. Best dishes I had were: eel donburi, spicy sashimi salad, and daily bento specials. Eel donburi is deliciously constructed with good amount of eel, a large scooping of imitation crab, and avocado on top of rice. Eel sauce is a must addition. You cannot go wrong with this one. If you are into sashimi, spicy sashimi salad is a good option - it comes with salmon and some other sashimi on top of mixed spring greens. You can add rice and spicy sauce to make sashimi bibimbap! Daily bento specials is a good one if you want to try different tempura, grilled fish and rolls. Did I mention we love Makiboy? Try them if you haven't already. read more

I was on a budget and needed some sushi and I remembered that Maki Boy is popular in the Las Colinas area for cheap sushi, that's still yummy! We went and I had trouble finding it because it's in the middle of a strip mall, but luckily there is one of those large signs by the road that lists all of the places inside. The actual restaurant is really tiny (check out the pictures) there might be 6 or 7 tables and then the bar that you can sit at. It has pictures of the food everywhere, and I think it was because we had so much to look at that it took me so long to order! Amazing choices and from the reviews it seems like everything is delicious! I'm on a tight budget though so I got the 12 piece california roll and snacked on some of the korean side dishes they had available. There were no names on the side dishes, but they tasted interesting! My california roll was fresh and tasty, I appreciated that they had the low sodium soy sauce to choose from. My friend got the "Texas Roll" and the Chicken Rice Bowl. The Texas Roll is a warm roll and is more savory than anything else. It actually didn't have a ton of flavor and it was weird eating a warm sushi roll with beef in it. The sauce that came with it was flavorless and kind of strange. I liked the Chicken Rice Bowl, it was just tender chicken on top of steamed rice with a semi-sweet sauce. Nothing special, but it was good! I can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

This place is a tad bit small so there isn't a lot of seating available. You order at the counter and they'll bring your order out to you. It was semi crowded when I went but I got my hand roll within 2 min of sitting down and the eel donburi 5 min after that. They have side dishes available too in the corner. It's like Korean side dishes. I normally don't like boiled broccoli but theirs was pretty good! They also had bean sprouts which was pretty fresh. These side dishes, drinks, and silverware are self-serve. I got the tuna hand roll and the eel donburi. Both were delicious! The hand roll was also decently priced which is always a plus. They put them on these really cute stands too! The eel donburi was very filling. There was a lot of rice which I didn't finish. They also give you eel sauce on the side. I would definitely recommend both! read more

My all-time favorite sushi place. The sushi is huge, delicious, and costs the same as the tiny sushi you would get at other places.

I've recommended Maki Boy to all of my friends! read more

I seriously don't know what the hype is about this place is... They have minimal raw fish rolls and the rest are some type of California rolls. They also have Chinese food and Korean food which I guess is not all that uncommon but for me, it's kinda all over the place. The service is alright nothing special. Your order first and they bring you the food and forget about you. Need more water get your butt up and get it yourself and the decor. Let's just say it's not somewhere I would take someone to impress. The food to me was tasteless and I didn't feel like I was eating sushi, instead something rolled up in rice. I wouldn't go back and they get two stars because I didn't get sick. You get what you pay for!! read more
