What an unforgettable birthday celebration for my colleague at Makao! The atmosphere was just right, & our server, Jay, kept us entertained with his charm. The Dragon Margarita was a crowd favorite! We all loved the rock shrimp as well. 10/10!

Food: best way to describe it is like airport/convention center food. Description sounds good but the execution is poor. Fried rice was awful - tasted like frozen veggies, the wrong kind of rice, bad spice/sauces, & we didn't know the chicken would be fried. The bang bang fries were pretty good flavor, chicken was a little overcooked, but edible. Beet salad was fine but nothing special. Overall we felt it was very overpriced for what we got. We were tucked into a corner & had to ask for water refills three times (leave the pitcher, give us bigger cups, or make sure to include the hidden table in the water rounds.) Service was pretty non existent. Very beautiful decor but sadly...would skip this one!

I was a bit disappointed by the Roasted Beet salad. It's described as Roast yellow & red beets, Cherry tomatoes, Parmesan Reggiano, Figs, Red onions, Apple cider vinaigrette. However, there were no figs in the salad! :( The Vegan wild mushroom dumplings were good (carrots, green beans, shiitake). The dipping sauce is savoury, slightly spicy & tangy. Good enough to eat with rice. :P The restaurant is a bit small but with a beautiful setting.

Dining at MAKAO is not just a meal; it's an experience! From the decor to the plating, every detail is carefully curated. I recommend it enough for a special night out.

The food here was amazing however the service was extremely slow, we waited over an hour for our entrees & then again for our meals, certain people in our group never even got their entrees, when asked to bring out the cake it took over 30 min to do that & then an additional 30-45 minutes to get it served. They were not overwhelmed with customers either. There staff was friendly but never apologized for the wait & had more of it doesn't matter attitude throughout the night. They seemed to not know how their system works as just printing the bills took over 20 min. They seem very new & a bit lost at what they are doing, they definitely need to improve their service before I think of going back.
