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.
My wife & I used to be a regular customer here. We were waiting for the restaurant to be reopen. However it was total disappointment when the menu kind of changed. My go-to usual was the Fried Chicken Udon Noodles & Karaag. Both were unavailable on the new menu & Chicken katsu seem to be new style as well which didn't like. Flavor lacks & we really prefer the old menu & flavor combinations. Hope the owner takes this seriously because we would love to come back again.

EDIT: At the owner's suggestion I requested the old version via uber eats & it was fully accommodated, 5 stars & a big thank you! Love your food
The Pork Katsu used to be one of my favorite things to order anywhere but the new vegetables on the side really don't work for me. The greenbeans have their stems & the whole garlic cloves aren't super pleasant for me. Otherwise everything is always good & I'll continue to order, I just liked it before the menu changed more
I always order on Uber eats but I got a sneak peek when I went to pick up my food last time, & honestly the place looks awesome inside! The food is always 10/10 amazing, delicious & great portions!
Une expérience inoubliable. Qualités & quantités des plats proposés. Bon accueil & tables bien réparties. Juste, nous avons été servis trop rapidement entre l'entrée & le plat principal, alors que le restaurant n'était pas plein. Pas eu le temps de savourer notre entrée. Dommage.
Absolutely delicious food, cooked with such care. The tofu teriyaki is my go-to: always good. The agedashi tofu is delicious & the Tteok-kochi was perfection! Crispy outside, chewy inside, perfectly spicy. Miso soup & a fresh & delicious salad come with every meal. This place is a wonderful find! Super yummy, affordable food, & the service is wonderful as well.
