Review Summary

MAKAO is a popular Chinatown destination known for its stylish decor, cozy lounge atmosphere, and consistently impressive cocktails. While the restaurant receives significant praise for its attentive and friendly service, guest experiences regarding the food are mixed; many diners find the dishes flavorful and beautifully presented, while others feel certain menu items lack depth or consistency for the price. Despite some feedback about portion sizes or specific dish preparation, the overall vibe and professional staff make it a highly recommended spot for dates, special occasions, and social gatherings.

The drinks & the bang bang shrimps were great! But the steak had more nerves than meat, I had to send my plate back. We were10 ladies & 8 of us had issues with the food. The service was quite long, I feel like the poor waitress was almost by herself. I wont be back.

It is a nice cozy place but sitting in the middle of the restaurant feels a bit too snug. The food missed the mark unfortunately. The General Tao chicken was not good at all, too hard & dry. The beef tartare was lacking acidity or sourness, the mushroom truffle dumplings were tasteless, salmon tataki was overcooked & they were out of oysters (which was the only reason we went there in the first place). The server did everything she could but she was swamped & the only one for the entire place. All in all, I think I would go back for the drinks & atmosphere but the food was not something I would go back for, unfortunately.

I took my wife here for her birthday, Thursdays is ladies night & we were met with a free glass of prosecco. The decor is beautiful, the tuna tataki was delicious. The best part of our experience was the servers, Aïcha & Valentina! They made sure my wife felt special, they were attentive & very friendly. Valentina knew the menu & drink pairings very well. They decorated my wife's birthday cake plate & sang for her. Thanks to these lovely ladies & delectable cocktails & food, we will most certainly be back.

Also we got 20% off our bill as it was the ladies night deal.

The food & drink was great! Service was great, but the timing was a little off. Food came so fast we did not have our drinks. Not a big deal but it's nice to have a drink started before the food.
