The decor is aesthetically pleasing. It's clean. Service is great. Food wise, the portions are big but lack some depth in the flavours. A bit overpriced; you pay for the vibe. Disappointed that the Dragon Margarita had no dragon fruit in it contrary to what they show on IG.View more

I was very underwhelmed by the quality of food - I expected higher end quality but nothing stood out about any of the dishes we ordered (mushroom dumplings, burrata salad, Shanghai noodles).View more

Le cadre est agréable, avec une belle déco, & le service attentionné. J'ai particulièrement apprécié les huîtres, très fraîches, ainsi que les cocktails, vraiment bons, bien dosés & créatifs. En revanche, j'ai trouvé que certains plats manquaient un peu de relief au niveau des saveurs. Le ceviche & les udon étaient, à mon goût, sous-assaisonnés, surtout en sel, ce qui atténuait l'intensité attendue pour ce type de cuisine fusion. Rien de catastrophique, mais un petit ajustement rehausserait clairement l'expérience. Côté présentation, c'est un sans faute : les plats sont superbes. Globalement, une belle adresse pour les amateurs de bonne ambiance, mais je reste un peu sur ma faim côté plats principaux.View more

Found myself with Chinatown hotel reservations so was away from my usual comfortable Montreal surroundings. Nothing I love more than a dumpling but after arriving from California I felt I needed a little more. I went for a walk & stumbled across Maka?, what intrigued me was the sign for $1 oysters on Wednesdays & greatfully it was a Wednesday. I love Oysters but in California I have trouble finding them under $5 so this was my spot. Stepped Inside & was greeted with a beaming smile by LY & knew that i would be made to feel at home.. LY with her confidence & knowledge of the industry knew how to make a patron feel comforted to be there & struck up a lovely conversation if being old friends. It was early , so was not busy but the crowds started to swell for a wonderful Happy Hour on Tues, Wed & Thurs from 4 to 7pm with 50% off some outstanding appertisers. The place has a wonderful casual atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home . If you do find yourself in Chinatown, take a few steps of the main strip. You will not be disappointed. I loved the Rock Shrimp for my starter , pure crisp perfection & the Teriyaki Salmon topped off my evening delightfully. Get out & give this hidden gem a try.View more

If you love a bold appetizer, try the Crispy Rock Shrimp. But honestly, you'll want to order everything on the starters list.View more
