Mābo serves a yakitori omakase in Park Cities, cooked over an open fire in a room with a small, fixed number of seats. The format keeps the whole room watching the same flame course by course, an intimate setup that regulars describe as precise and unshowy.
The restaurant has drawn national attention quickly. The James Beard Foundation named it both a semifinalist and a finalist for Best New Restaurant in 2025, and a semifinalist for Best Chef Texas in 2026. D Magazine included Mābo among Dallas's best restaurants of 2025.
