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.

J'avais fait une réservation pour la st valentin plusieurs semaines à l'avance. Ils nous ont mit à une table devant la porte. Les autres tables se libéraient & ils ne voulaient pas nous changer de table car leur logiciel ne leur permettait pas, ( il suffisait d'un peu de logique ). Nous avons préféré partir plutôt que de manger comme si nous étions à l'extérieur. Dommage car la nourriture avait l'air bonne.

The food was alright lacking flavour but the service was amazing. The host was very accommodating after not like the spot of our table, he still managed to get us a better table on the busiest night ever. The environment was very nice & cosy. Great for pictures.

Food was alright, although overpriced, at least the staff made the night worth it. We had a late reservation at 23h because of how packed it was for valentine's day, but the staff was very friendly with us & made sure we had an amazing time !

Meh.... First time at this restaurant, will not go again or recommend. The food was flavorless to ok max. The cocktails tasted like there was barely any alcohol in them. The atmosphere was a bust as well. Tables are cramped together & the aile to walk back & forward in the restaurant was right behind your seat.
Another review said it perfectly = an attempt to appear upscale.
The service was just ok, the waitress explained the menu like it was a race & the rest of the service felt very awkward. She was still very polite & nice... but nonetheless awkward. At first we thought the prices might be ok, but the lack of flavor made it seem like a waist of our money & time. Very disappointed, good marketing though on Instagram .... cuz it really fooled us !

Very nice place.. Small & cosy.. Music wasn't too loud which I was really happy with. I got the Japanese bed sheet cocktail & I loved it. As for meal we took all the appetizers plus a truffles fries & were able to share in 4. My only negative point, dessert selection. Otherwise Totally recommend
