MAKAō transcends being just a restaurant, offering an unforgettable experience that ignites curiosity, tantalizes the palate, and transports you to a realm where the East seamlessly unites with the West in exquisite harmony.
Relish the deep, rich traditions of Asian cuisine—the flavors and techniques developed over centuries—and let them also introduce you to the bold innovations that characterize modern Western cooking.
Nestled in the heart of Montreal’s Chinatown, MAKAŌ is the ultimate destination for those seeking an authentic and immersive cultural experience.
MAKA? is praised as a stylish yet cozy spot with a chic and welcoming vibe, where guests often call the food delicious and creatively balanced and the cocktails and desserts stand out; the service is repeatedly described as attentive and friendly, contributing to an overall strong experience, though a few dishes may lack flavor or depth for the price and there can be waits or crowded seating during peak times; oysters on Wednesdays, standout offerings like bang bang shrimp and lobster fried rice and a refined ambiance make it suitable for dates, group dinners or celebrations, with a vibe that is both intimate and lively; while some experiences vary, the consensus is largely positive and many say they would return to MAKA?
Aicha was an amazing server, my wife & I came to have drinks for our anniversary & Aicha made us feel so welcome in a city we're new to! We'll be coming here again any time we're in Montreal!
Super cute place, yummy food, our server Vlada so kind, we came for girls night, had giiri dinner of truffle mushroom dumings & general tap chicken & the playlist is a goodie too!
Lundi menu simplifié mais on ne avise pas lors de la réservation!!!!!! Le serveur ne sait pas ce qu'est une Tsing Tao!!!!! Musique rap français !!?!?!? Restaurant asiatique!?!? Nourriture trop en sauce, poulet général tao SEC … viande avait une odeur… Malheurce n'était pas un succès 😢😢😢
The food & drink was great! Service was great, but the timing was a little off. Food came so fast we did not have our drinks. Not a big deal but it's nice to have a drink started before the food.
This restaurant has a great vibe, great food, great service. The cocktails are so unique! If you like fusion food you'll like it here. Very cool place.
I had an absolutely incredible experience at Makao in Montreal. From the moment we walked in, everything felt elevated - great atmosphere, amazing energy, & top-tier service.
Our waitress, Vlada, was truly outstanding. She was attentive without being overbearing, incredibly friendly, & made the whole experience feel special. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests, & it made a huge difference.
The food was just as impressive. I ordered the Szechuan steak, & it was cooked perfectly - tender, flavorful, & exactly what I was hoping for. Every bite was spot on. & the Dragon Margarita… wow. Easily one of the best cocktails I've had - bold, balanced, & absolutely delicious.
Between the service, the food, & the drinks, this place knocked it out of the park. I would highly recommend Makao to anyone visiting Montreal, & I'll definitely be back.

Tout était parfait! Le resto est magnifique, la bouffe est excellente, savoureuse & les portions sont généreuses! Nous nous sommes régalées, Delphine a été une perle pour le service 👌🏼
Hidden gem in Chinatown & has delicious food. Inside is small so it is good to call & book a reservation during peak hours. Our host Antoine was great & described the menu in detail.
We're visiting from Ontario, & Antoine provided excellent service-he took the time to explain the menu & gave great recommendations. He was friendly, attentive, & professional.
The food was delicious, & the restaurant was clean with a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Really delicious food. All of the starters were fantastic, the baos, sticky ribs, & general tso. We got the shandong noodles as a main, it was tasty & good char from the grill, but could use some more sauce / flavor!
Anton provided great service too, attentive & kind. :)
We had a great experience at the restaurant. Would recommend this place for sure. Antoine was our server & he was super helpful & sweet even on a busy night!
