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.

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.
