ABOUT US

Madai’s approach to our cuisine is to respect and honor our roots, while thinking outside of the box. Playful, while honoring traditional flavors, we feel our Latin and Pan Asian influences on sushi and traditional Japanese dishes, give us the ability to create some new, yet familiar…a new kind of classic.
We believe these outside of the box influences, while remaining balanced in flavor and texture, will entice and comfort with each bite. We will always strive to keep creating and pushing boundaries of what sushi can be, and to always push towards our ultimate goal, to create the new classics.

A seasoned veteran of the sushi world, Ismael Lopez has spent decades meticulously refining his skills in slicing pristine fish. At Madai, the menu honors traditional Japanese flavors while weaving in elements of Latin and Pan-Asian influences. Satisfy your seafood craving by indulging in inventive maki rolls like the El Baja—panko ebi, tuna and avocado, crowned with marinated jalapeños—or a selection of nigiri, sashimi and chirashi bowls. Whichever you choose, you’ll savor the essence of fresh, open waters through Lopez’s impeccable creations.
