MAKAō transcends being just a restaurant, offering an unforgettable experience that ignites curiosity, tantalizes the palate, and transports you to a realm where the East seamlessly unites with the West in exquisite harmony.
Relish the deep, rich traditions of Asian cuisine—the flavors and techniques developed over centuries—and let them also introduce you to the bold innovations that characterize modern Western cooking.
Nestled in the heart of Montreal’s Chinatown, MAKAŌ is the ultimate destination for those seeking an authentic and immersive cultural experience.
Overall, MAKA? earns consistently positive notes for a chic, cozy, contemporary vibe and attentive service, with a lively dining room and well curated music that suits both date nights and groups. The menu delivers bold Asian fusion flavors with standout dishes like truffle udon with grilled shrimp, bang bang shrimp, surf and turf, sashimi and dumplings, and a popular teriyaki salmon, complemented by creative cocktails and desserts, though a few items are described as underseasoned or too salty and some cocktails as not as strong as hoped. Portions vary, with some mains described as generous and others felt small for the price, and some guests noted a gap between online promos and in restaurant offerings. The service is repeatedly highlighted as friendly, patient, and professional, with staff going above and beyond, although a few visits mention slower pacing or occasional miscommunications. In sum, MAKA? is a stylish spot in Montreal that shines with flavorful fusion dishes and excellent service, making it a strong pick for those seeking a vibrant ambiance and a memorable night out, even as expectations on value and flavor depth differ.
Merci à Delphine pour l'accueil au restaurant ce fut une magnifique soirée, cependant l'accueil de l'hôtel & l'accès au clés fut exécrable,1h30 d'attente pour avoir un nouveau code de clé & ensuite une chambre pas nettoyé, l'horreur ,heureusement que Delphine a su rescapé notre soirée .
The food & drinks were filled with flavours, some of which I haven't had before! The surf & turf was a great portion, steak cooked just how I asked, & tender juicy lobster. Delphine was a great, friendly, & funny server. Was visiting Montreal but home to be back not just to the city but to Maka?!
Delphine was incredible. She was so kind & accommodating. The lychee martinis were delicious. The vibe in the restaurent was chic & contemporary, with an upbeat music curation. I highly recommend this restaurant for bang-bang shrimp. Delectable menu options in the Chinatown area! Definitely check out this restaurant for your Montreal experience.
Delphine was a fantastic host. The food was a great fusion of Asian & European flavours with some really interesting combinations. Great cocktails too.
Super service de Delphine & sa collègue, elle a pu nous offrir une belle table pour 2 sans réservation ce dimanche. L'attente entre les items commandés est parfait & les portions des repas principaux sont parfaites, surtout le saumon teriyaki. De l'extérieur, cet endroit avait l'air très exclusif, la salle à manger à l'intérieur l'est aussi mais le prix est très raisonnable pour l'expérience & la bouffe. J'espère pouvoir y retourner bientôt pour essayer d'autres repas & les cocktails
