    Went on girls night to exchange small gifts and enjoy some soup since it was rainy that day. The food was okay the dessert was really good. I would recommend this place to anyone. It's a place I've always wanted to visit just never made the time and glad we picked this place. I would come back again. Service felt a little rushed but other than that we had great time.

    Very good Ramen spot. The ramen hakata tonkotsu this was very tasty. I got it with the chatsudon. The service was fast and friendly. The servers were very thoughtful. The ambience was excellent. I really enjoyed the interior design and decoration.

    I was in the mood for some ramen, and this place was nearby! We had the ("grilled") vegetarian gyoza to start off. My main gripe was the gyoza tasted very oily, which overpowered the rest of the dish. Next, I ordered the hakata ramen, which is essentially a tonkotsu ramen. The broth was okay; there was some flavor, but it wasn't as deep or complex as I would've liked. They do have sesame seeds, togarashi, and spice seasoning at the tables, which I added to help in the flavor department. The soft-boiled egg was more like a medium-boiled egg; the yolk wasn't runny whatsoever. The cha shu (pork slices) seemed kind of old; either the pork fat/oil went rancid. The price wasn't too bad either, I'd say Ramen Hakata is less expensive than most other ramen places I've been at in DFW.

    Main rating is accurate. Service was EXCELLENT, interior and ambiance cozy. But the food lacking a bit: noodles too firm, broth was good, egg was good, but the chashu was tough and lacked flavor. I don't think I'll be back for the price. If I could give a .5 just for the service and fun atomosphere I would.

    the food was so good, but what got me was the coleslaw sauce here! wow! If you are in the Dallas area, this is a must try. #califoniavisitor

    visiting from California and this coleslaw sauce really caught my attention, not to mention the food is amazing!

    Garlic creamy carbonara with chicken and soft boiled eggs, Tonkotsu ramen, and miso broth ramen. Followed by green tea and black tea.

    This spot has my heart. I have never enjoyed fresh ramen this much. The service was excellent and especially kind. I love the vibes in here. Lighting that relaxes, artwork that represents what it's all about, and great prices for the portions you receive. I would definetly recommend to any friend!

    Adding a second review with the tsukemen and korokke which were superb. Excellent prompt and attentive service. Also cool posters and interior decor. Definitely recommended!

    Interior was beautiful and the staff were very friendly. The food however didn't have much protein and flavor was nothing special. Also there was a roach in the bathroom- yikes. But the attentive staff and the service was a 10/10

    R6. Gyudon Rice Bowl
    Gilbert S.

    Visited on 10/1. Honestly this is the worst food I have had in the Addison area. The rice tasted like it was Minute rice or boil in a bag rice. The beef which was probably about 1 oz of it was bland, and chewy. Absolutely no flavor. I added the broth to my bowl to try and help the flavor but it did not help at all, in fact made it much worse. I could not finish my bowl. It is overpriced. $15 for a bowl of rice. To add insult to injury I tried adding hot sauce to make it taste better, only to see I got charged for that as well. I would not recommend.stay away from this place.

    N16. Kimchi Ramen
    Gabriela L.

    Hakata is my number one place to go for ramen!! It's always fresh and hot! My favorite is the kimchi ramen, as it has a whole variety in it. If you like kimchi, you'll most def like this. The service is always fast, at times they are slow to check in with you to see if you need anything else. The ambiance is cozy, quiet place to have lunch/dinner with your partner. Give it a try, you won't regret it

After asking for some sauce to go with them, they actually ended up being the best thing we ordered. Even so, the lingering aftertaste still reminded us of old grease. The drinks were decent, but overall this is not a place I would come back to or try again.

When we walked in, the hostess had a poor attitude and was off putting. Unfriendly and borderline rude. We made sure to get there as soon as they opened because we knew it would be dead, and we'd have better luck at quicker service. Unfortunately, they sat us outside because we had our ESA animal in an enclosed carrier after grilling us about what services he performs, and I believe we were forgotten about since we were the only ones on the porch. It was a very warm day with high humidity. I asked the hostess if she could make sure the fans were on since it was so hot, and she asked, "So, you want me to turn them off?" We only ordered two apps of Roti Canai, one order of the twice friend wings, and an order or the donuts (all were ordered at once to help speed things along since it was so hot outside.) It took quite a while, and the wings came out soggy and cold, which is not the norm. A thunderstorm was coming in, and we had been waiting on our donuts for at least 20 minutes at this point. My husband informed the hostess that we would have to either cancel the order or move inside since it was about to start raining. She flippantly said that she would have to ask the manager first if we were allowed inside. We were so turned off that it really ruined the experience, and it was not the way we wanted to celebrate Mother's Day. The donuts finally came out (also cold), and I had my husband just give her the credit card without the check so we could hurry up and get off the porch before it started coming down. We rushed through the dessert and left. Not loving our experience and not sure if we'll be back until the attitude and service changes. We're bummed because we were always a fan of this place until now.

I went the day before Thanksgiving and the japanese chef was a one man show. He was the only one running the establishment because everyone else had left to go to Japan for the holiday. He is so so so so nice. I don't go back to restaurants very often but this place has my heart. This time I got the spicy pork ramen (17), spicy garlic chicken ramen (18), and then got the spicy garlic pork ramen (19) togo. I will say it is a little bit salty, with the garlic ones being more salty than the non garlic ones. However the garlic ones do have more flavor. There's not that much meat/protein either just one piece of meat and an egg. The could be slightly better but it's still good. It also just has bamboo shoots but nothing else. A very simple bowl.

I had to dig for it. I know they probably put the meat at the bottom so it'll warm up with the broth, but I prefer it at the top.

Unrelated to the food, I sat on the bench and there was a customer sitting on the bench beside me. She kept shifting around and causing the entire bench to move, which I didn't like.

The noodles were delightfully chewy and the broth had a rich and full flavor without being overly fatty; I finished every drop of the garlicky goodness.

They also have chicken ramen for those who cannot appreciate the deliciousness that pork offers.

Parking wasn't bad either, there are lots and a garage nearby. However, the food itself fell flat for me. We ordered the crispy chicken happy hour special, which comes with a side salad. The chicken was on the dry side. Whenever I order Kaarage, it usually comes with a dipping sauce, but there was none here and that would've really helped out. The dressing on the side salad was way too acidic, making it hard to eat as well. In addition, we ordered the takoyaki as an appetizer. The takoyaki themselves were pretty solid, but the texture of the mayo was off. I'm not sure if they make their mayo in-house, but i noticed it was curdled. EDIT: after reading the restaurant's response, the texture I noticed was because it's an egg tartar sauce For the ramen, we ordered Jinya Tonkotsu Black and Creamy Veggie Ramen. Pricing is standard for DFW ramen restaurants, although *slightly* higher than some others (by like $1). The base ramen comes with a good variety of toppings! However, the ramen was just okay. The noodles are on the skinnier side, which I prefer thicker, chewier noodles. The pork chashu serving was small, and it tasted kind of old and wasn't that tender nor flavorful. The broth was just alright. I prefer soft-boiled, jammy ramen eggs, but the ajitama here was cooked longer than I would've liked. Ironically, I thought the veggie ramen was *much* better. The broth had better flavor, and they use different noodles than the tonkotsu, which were thicker (and exactly what I like!). Lastly, we had the matcha tiramisu for dessert. On a positive note, the matcha flavor was detectable. However, the tiramisu crème wasn't that fluffy, and there were noticeable amounts of undissolved sugar.

The restaurant has vibrant decor and murals that transport you to a diverse neighborhood. Every employee who helped us was approachable and kind, checking on us after we were seated and served, going as far as taking photos for us when we asked because we were celebrating our anniversary, and bringing out things we asked for once we were seated. It seems basic to say that, but the warmth and kindness was felt from each employee we interacted with, and I don't want to gloss over their good service. Our order: - Angry Pho Birria Platter - Elote + Chips - Strawberry Lemonade - Ube Horchata The pho (a little spicy) and bao (a little sweet with super tender meat) will make you want to do a happy dance. The wings could have been a little crunchier but they were sauced so it's understandable. The Bang Bang and Spicy Chili flavors were delicious. The Birria tacos were good, but we loved everything else on the platter more. The Elote + chips starter was authentic and yummy. The chips felt like an odd pairing, but it tasted good together! The Strawberry Lemonade was sweet but refreshing. The Ube Horchata was creamy and delicious. Not too sweet, and the ice didn't ruin it. Know before you go: - Arrive early! We got there when they opened at 11 AM on a Friday. Two other parties were already there and waiting to dine, as well. By 11:30 AM, a nice-sized crowd had rolled in. They had no problem getting everyone served quickly, though. - You order and pay first, grab a seat, and then they bring your food out to you. - Yes, the platter sizes are sufficient for two hungry adults to fill up on! You might even have trouble finishing it all. - Their online menu has awesome pictures of each platter option. The platters look smaller in person than in those photos, but as I said, you will definitely get full. - My husband, who is not a pho lover, loved the Angry Pho. - They are closed on Saturdays and Mondays. - They have gluten-free and halal options.

Hence the 3 stars for a balanced rating between a good curry dish, appetizer, and atmosphere to a bad and under seasoned dish that she was unable to finish. The service here also left more to be desired. Would I come back? It's hard to say, maybe..but only if I happened to be in the area. I am curious about their ramen.

The freshness of the food is consistently exceptional, each bite a testament to their high standards. It is this unwavering commitment to authentic Japanese cuisine that keeps me returning. It's truly wonderful to see the family sticking firmly to their cultural roots, preserving the traditional flavors and experience that makes this place so special. Enjoy this photo of Akira San and Seiji San putting together their mastery at work, taken by fellow Mr. Sushi lover, Keith.

    Finally got to try Mr Max after living here for almost 6 years. I was never able to get into the…read moreIrving location as it was just too busy. The stars were aligned correctly and I was able to come to the Richardson location right when it opened. As someone that's a huge fan of Izakaya's - Mr Max did leave a little bit to be desired. Food quality was great, don't get me wrong - however I feel like for the cost, the portions are a little bit on the small side. The menu is also a little limited - this location has been open a while already so I assume they aren't going to expand the menu beyond whatever is already on there. I guess I've just been spoiled with other Izakaya's having pages upon pages of things to choose from. The dining area is quite nice, though I heard the og Irving location has tatami style seating - which this one does not. Not a deal breaker for me. Staff was nice and restaurant was clean, just wish their portion sizes were at least a little more "Texas" sized for the price. Other diners I went with said the noodles are better at the Irving location but I can't speak to that as I've never been there. All in all still a nice dining experience.

    Love the new location of Mr Max - since they opened last year we've been at least 5 times and IMO…read morethe quality is as good as the original location in Irving (which also happens to be our favorite Japanese spot in the metroplex). The ambience is definitely less classic izakaya style (no taking your shoes off or sitting at the bar watching the chefs work in the kitchen), but all of our favorite dishes that we've tried at the Richardson location have been spot on. We like to do shareable small plates style, even for the "bigger" entrees like ramen and the house curry, and we're always stuffed at the end of our meal. Service is pretty good and personally I love that this location is much closer to where we live and usually also much less busy than the OG location; better for us to walk in whenever we want :) Can't wait to return soon!
