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.

Food & drinks were good but underwhelming, the atmosphere & vibes were great. I really enjoyed the bang bang shrimp, truffle fries, & the sticky ribs.

Je suis allée manger chez Makao & honestly… la bouffe était INCROYABLE.
J'ai pris les lamb chops - portion généreuse, flavor qui a dépassé toutes mes expectations 🔥
& là… l'Amaretto Sour… JÉSUS.
I almost wanted to kiss the bartender 😭 she made that drink like she knew :
'nopeee, it's Saturday night, let me make her night.'
Bref, je recommande à 100%. Food, vibes, drinks… tout était on point 💃🏽🍸

I came here by myself & I felt honestly comfortable. The atmosphere was calm. I had the shandong noodles & it was honestly a 10/10. I like how the food was simple yet flavorful! Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

Super service de Delphine & sa collègue, elle a pu nous offrir une belle table pour 2 sans réservation ce dimanche. L'attente entre les items commandés est parfait & les portions des repas principaux sont parfaites, surtout le saumon teriyaki. De l'extérieur, cet endroit avait l'air très exclusif, la salle à manger à l'intérieur l'est aussi mais le prix est très raisonnable pour l'expérience & la bouffe. J'espère pouvoir y retourner bientôt pour essayer d'autres repas & les cocktails
