The service, the staff & the food are amazing!! Little cozy spot with some good drinks & food options. The music isn't too loud allowing a good vibe but also good conversation

The hype was very high but the experience was far from the expectations. The plates are all tapas style, so be ready to order 2-3 dishes per person. The atmosphere was great, loved the decor & the colours. The service was acceptable but not exceptional. We started off with 5 starters, they were all on the cold/warm side. The spring rolls were overcooked, the general Makao chicken, which supposed to be their signature plate was leaning towards the cold side. The taste wasn't anything spectacular, just tasted like a General Tao. The rice & noodles came after, these plates were hot. Unfortunately, they both tasted very similar as they both were very salty (drink lots of water if you order) - it's unfortunate because I feel like they have something nice to show, but after eating there, I felt like I only got half the experience

I can understand why MAKAO has such conflicting reviews. We did not encounter any of the reservation issues (we booked on OpenTable) nor the service issues. In fact, we had a really lovely server who was very attentive & diligent with food allergies at the table. Even though she wasn't well versed in food allergies in their entirety, she went above & beyond to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks. The ambiance was cool & the restaurant is well designed with fun music, despite being tightly packed. Our drinks were good, but as some others have noted, the food was just ok. It was not elevated in a way I expected it to be. For example, the dumplings & spring rolls were similar to something you could get out of the freezer section at the grocery store. & the bang bang fries were just basic fries with a couple of pieces of boneless wing type chicken on top splattered with sauce. The food was not BAD by any means, it just wasn't great either. & for that reason we probably wouldn't return.

The fusion food was great! The highlight for me was the roasted beet salad which had a great mix of flavours, I appreciated the fig & jelly along with the toppings. The fried rice & the general makao chicken were quite flavourful. The fried calamari themselves were good however I'm not sure I liked the tzatziki dip they were served with, I would have preferred something along the lines of a sriracha mayo. Service was attentive, drinks came up quickly, water was refilled promptly. There was a slight mixup with 2 food orders, but that can be forgiven by how it was handled & resolved. The right orders were put in quickly & we even got to keep an order of the extra rice. The atmosphere is nice, the restaurant is on the smaller side so it feels more intimate. The music is great.

Made reservation for my sister's birthday. Parking is about two minutes walking distance. It is about a $20 fixed price. When we got there the first thing that caught my attention is that the place is much more smaller than what you would think from looking at their social media. It wasn't bad for us because we actually wanted to have a moment just to chat between sisters. Food was very good. The drinks were also good. I have to say that the service was very long. We did not matter because it was our mom night out . We enjoyed our time & we spoke the whole time without thinking about going home to the kids. The staff was more than friendly. I really appreciated interaction which each one of them. It was my sister's birthday & she got to choose her music for when they brought the cake. I think this is a very nice gesture If you are looking for a small intimate place for a date with your special person, this is the place .

The baby shower at Makao was nothing short of magical! Bianca, our server, made sure we felt special with each drink. The Japanese Bedsheet cocktails were a hit! The UDON noodles were adorable & just as delicious. Can't wait to return!

Place was really nice inside. Beautiful with lots of greens. The food was exceptional, drinks were tasty as well. The margaritas specifically was very good. But the location is sketchy. Lots of people under some influence on the street. I wish they had established somewhere else.
