Le Makoto is a restaurant that offers variety. The menu has a little of everything, traditional Korean and Japanese favorites. The food is tasty and affordable!
Start with an original cocktail, they are really fun! You can then order the most delicious and comforting spicy pork soup and an amazing fish tempura. The Deung Gal bi is unforgettable, easily the most tender and juicy that you have ever tried. They use quality ingredients that are full of unique flavors. A very clean place with a good atmosphere and friendly service that is also very fast. Honestly one of the best Korean and Japanese restaurants in Montreal!
Makoto draws praise for its welcoming staff, quick service and cozy ambiance, with favorites like bibimbap, kimchi jjigae, tofu dishes and teokkochi earning frequent compliments. The food is often described as flavorful with generous portions and reasonable prices, and miso soup and a simple salad come with meals. Several reviewers express disappointment with menu changes, missing items such as sundubu jjigae, beef seafood udon, fried chicken udon and the salad with ginger vinaigrette, hoping for their return. Some diners find the new side dishes less appealing and the chicken breading crumbly. A number of guests hope the restaurant will reintroduce elements of the old menu while still offering new options. Delivery experiences have shown that old versions can be accessed through the restaurant's ordering options, which helps bridge dine in and takeout. Overall Makoto is seen as a reliable, affordable option with tasty dishes and friendly service, though menu revisions have divided opinion and left regulars hoping for a balance between nostalgia and new ideas.
Très belles portions pour le Prix. La nourriture etait prete rapidement & le serveur était très gentil. Le tofu etait egalement tres bon. Je recommande pour des couples ou des plus grands groupes. C'est très bien situé, tout prêt du marché jean-talon!
My friends & I recently visited Restaurant Makoto, & it exceeded our expectations in every way. The service was excellent, with friendly & attentive staff who made us feel right at home. The food was fantastic, offering a delightful range of Japanese & Korean fusion flavors, beautifully presented in each dish. The portions were generous, ensuring we left satisfied & content. The cozy ambiance added to the overall experience, making it a perfect spot for a memorable meal with friends. Highly recommended! Thank you to the team at Restaurant Makoto for a wonderful experience!
Excellente cuisine, typiquement coréen. Les plats sont savoureux. Le service était un peu long puisqu'il n'y avait qu'un seul serveur, mais ça n'a rien enlevé a l'expérience. Je recommande.
