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.

Good service, tasty food

Found myself with Chinatown hotel reservations so was away from my usual comfortable Montreal surroundings. Nothing I love more than a dumpling but after arriving from California I felt I needed a little more. I went for a walk & stumbled across Maka?, what intrigued me was the sign for $1 oysters on Wednesdays & greatfully it was a Wednesday. I love Oysters but in California I have trouble finding them under $5 so this was my spot. Stepped Inside & was greeted with a beaming smile by LY & knew that i would be made to feel at home.. LY with her confidence & knowledge of the industry knew how to make a patron feel comforted to be there & struck up a lovely conversation if being old friends. It was early , so was not busy but the crowds started to swell for a wonderful Happy Hour on Tues, Wed & Thurs from 4 to 7pm with 50% off some outstanding appertisers. The place has a wonderful casual atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home . If you do find yourself in Chinatown, take a few steps of the main strip. You will not be disappointed. I loved the Rock Shrimp for my starter , pure crisp perfection & the Teriyaki Salmon topped off my evening delightfully. Get out & give this hidden gem a try.

Intimate yet lively, Maka? walks the line perfectly. Great for a date night or group celebration. We stayed longer than planned.

If you love a bold appetizer, try the Crispy Rock Shrimp. But honestly, you'll want to order everything on the starters list.

Music at Maka? hits just right. A soulful, chill blend that elevates the entire experience without overpowering conversation.

The Calamari Tempura is golden perfection, but what really stood out was the staff-attentive, warm, & on point all night.

Maka? is effortlessly stylish-dim lighting, velvet textures, & a vibe that makes every meal feel like an occasion.

MAKA? deserves every star! The staff went above & beyond-shoutout to Alex for explaining the menu so patiently. The miso-glazed cod was the best I've ever had.

I can't stop raving about MAKA?! The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, with soft lighting that set the perfect mood. The wagyu beef dish was melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
