Review Summary

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.

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.
