Ça fait 8 ans que je suis au Québec & je n'avais pas mangé un okonomiyaki depuis. Je suis tombé par hasard sur le restaurant Makoto. & bien je vais y retourner. Sans hésitation. Très bon, copieux. & très abordable

Mise a jour de ma note. Je laisse toujours 5 etoiles mais la carte a changé. & les okonomiyaki ont été retirés. Pas grave, ca reste toujours bon :)

This was an Uber order so I can't comment on atmosphere or service. Food was very, very tasty but I have a creative criticism. Perhaps it's due to the delivery packaging & transit time, but both the kimchi jeon & the okonomiyaki were beautiful on the outside but'wet' on the inside. This gave the impression the food wasn't cooked through although it definitely was. Maybe it's the thickness of the item, but the same problem slightly affected the teokkochi so it might just be from steam being trapped in the boxes. I'd order again but in person next time to see the difference.

This spot is amazing. Great new find. I'm not sure how other rate it lower than 4-5 stars. The portions are big, & you get a miso soup with a salad for below average price, that's unbeatable at this day & age.

The food came really fast. There's only one waiter yet he managed to serve us politely & pack the food for the other tables & take other orders or pay bill. He's very efficient.

More detail on the food: (if you're willing to read)

I haven't had a good pancake like that in awhile. Not too much better & just the right amount of crispy with veggies. It wasn't too overcooked like some place & oily.

The Katsu had more batter but still very crispy. But this is my preference bc I don't like batter & carbs, I can go protein all day.

The karage has good amount of meat. A bit on the firmer side than the juicy soft but maybe it's the chicken breast rather than other parts of the chicken.

The salad entré has great flavor with olives, tomatoes & greens. The miso was also great. I usually don't like the grainy dense texture but it didn't bother me & wasn't salty like some places.

This is my first time trying the Okonomiyaki & it was amazing. It was filling. I wished it had more protein but again this is just me. There's good amount of sauce & full of veggies. Can't go wrong! I loved it, I was so full after that even though I shouldn't be eating like that on my cut.

Sorry for not taking picture before devouring it! 😅

From the moment we stepped into Restaurant Makoto, we were greeted by the warm ambiance that promised a memorable dining experience. The starters set the stage for the culinary delights that followed. The Pajeon was a crispy, savory pancake that was a perfect blend of flavors & textures, while the Takoyaki was a delightful treat, with its tender octopus filling encased in a light & fluffy batter. The main course was a generous display of the restaurant's commitment to both quality & quantity. The Chicken Katsu was a standout, with its perfectly crispy exterior & succulent interior, accompanied by a hearty portion of steamed rice, fresh vegetables, & two delectable gyozas. But the star of the evening was undoubtedly the Chicken Okonomiyaki. This Japanese savory pancake was not only huge in size but also in flavor. Each bite was a mix of tender chicken & a rich, complex array of seasonings that made it extremely flavorful. In conclusion, Restaurant Makoto in Montreal is a gem that offers an authentic taste of Japanese cuisine. The dishes we tried were not only delicious but also presented with care, making our dining experience truly exceptional. We left with our appetites fully satisfied & our taste buds tantalized, eagerly anticipating our next visit.
