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.

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!
