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.

Un restaurant à découvrir ! Le service est excellent, le décor tout simplement époustouflant. L'espace est petit, mais l'ambiance chaleureuse & conviviale compense largement. La nourriture est délicieuse, même si certaines saveurs pourraient être un peu plus relevées. Cela dit, l'expérience reste remarquable. Je recommande vivement pour toute occasion, que ce soit en couple, entre amis ou en famille.

From the moment we got in to the moment we checked out, the experience was amazing. Léa took care of explaining to us the menu & answered our questions about gluten-free options. The seabass sashimis were mezmerizing. I will be talking in high regards of this place. Definitely recommand it.
