Love Hatsuyuki! Mābo is definitely more swanky and high-end though than any of the similar handroll places around the DFW metroplex. If you've ever been to an omakase restaurant like Tatsu or Shoyo, Mābo is more in line with those establishments. It's a yakitori tasting menu so you don't choose what you want to eat, the chef provides you with the day's menu (usually 15-17 courses, which include 4-5 appetizer bites and 6-7 skewers that are grilled by Chef Masayuki right in front of the 8-seat bar) and you watch the production unfold. You can add on extra bites at the end if you're still hungry; we were pretty stuffed at the end of our meal but were curious about a couple of the rarer chicken yakitori cuts on the add-on menu so we tried those as well, but it's not necessary to feel more than satisfied with the amount of food. Mābo is as much about dinner as theater as it is about the food itself. The inside decor and ambience is probably what the initial commenter meant about it feeling like Japan when you walk in — it's very minimalist and there's a small indoor zen rock garden off to the side. I'd say Mr Max is equally authentic in vibe, just a different aspect of Japanese cuisine (the rowdy crowded izakaya vibe) instead. Hope that helps!
