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.

C'est un beau restaurant & le service est très bon. L'entrée & le dessert étaient délicieux, mais nous avons moins apprécié notre plat principal. Pour ma part, le steak manquait de saveur & je n'aimais pas la sauce d'accompagnement.

I want to share my experience at Makao to give others a clear heads-up before deciding to go.

This was my first visit, & I went with guests from out of town, so expectations were naturally high. Walking in, the decor is genuinely impressive-very clean, upscale, & it absolutely gives off a luxury dining experience. Based on that alone, you expect the food quality to match.

Unfortunately, it didn't.

The food across the board was very bland. The steak was poorly seasoned & not very tender, & the lobster lacked flavor as well. For the price point, the portion sizes & overall quality just didn't add up. It felt overpriced for what was served.

To be fair, the service was good, the staff were professional, & the restaurant itself was clean. Also, the drinks were the one highlight of the night.

I always give positive reviews when they're earned, but I also believe in being honest when they're not. Everyone at our table left disappointed, especially given how strong the first impression is when you walk in.

Just something to keep in mind if you're considering going-don't let the decor set expectations too high for the food.

Personally, I wouldn't go back.

Cheers.
