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.

Ribs were tender but slathered in basic barbecue sauce & sesame seeds so not anything special. Beef & shrimp noodles were good but there was barely any beef, I did enjoy the garlic butterflied shrimp though. I enjoyed my baklava cheesecake. My Tokyo Ghost cocktail was good but the Japanese bedsheet was way too sour & cucumbery. The server was kind enough to fix it for me though.
Pretty decor, nice presentation, friendly accommodating service overall.
