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 is described as a welcoming, affordable spot with generous portions and a fusion of Japanese and Korean flavors, where the food is consistently tasty, portions are satisfying, and service is friendly in a Japan inspired atmosphere; reviewers note good value and variety including bibimbap, tofu dishes and miso soup with meals, but some miss old menu items like okonomiyaki, sundubu jjigae, and udon, and a few note changes in presentation after reopening with hopes that favorites will return.
Food & service was great, highly recommend! We came as a large group & were very well accommodated. The owner also generously gifted us tiramisu for having to wait.

Tout ce que j'ai pris & mon amie était délicieux! J'ai même essayé le calmar en entrée pour me challenger & je suis surprise de me dire que je vais le recommander!! Tellement bon! Pas cher & bonne portion
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.
