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.
I took the beef Bulgogi & some appetizers. The food was soooooo good! They even gave free tea at the start & a free miso soup. I will definitly go back to try their other dishes
Super cuisine mais service terrible! Le serveur jetait littéralement les choses sur la table, nous a déposé des couverts sans même nous regarder, a oublié une entrée & l'a servie après les plats principaux, nous a ignoré a de nombreuses reprises! Inacceptable! Nous sommes repartis repus mais déçus.
This place is the best. I love the Person that runs front of house. He does his absolute best to welcome & serve everyone. So friendly so great. Back of house is not always visible, but the food is so amazing I know they work very hard & take a lot of pride in the food they make. Dine-in or take out but you need to go here to experience the work that is done. I love this spot

Un restaurant qui ne paye pas de mine quand on passe devant mais l'ambiance est charmante à l'intérieur. C'est également un de nos restaurants préfères lorsqu'il s'agit de se faire livrer chez soi :3
Truly such a treat to find Makoto! We went for dinner & it was absolutely delicious & very reasonably priced. I got the tofu teriyaki & it was scrumptious. Miso is served before each meal & it is the best miso I've had in the city! The atmosphere of the restaurant is so cozy & almost nostalgic. It reminded me of a scene from the Office or something. Will definitely be returning!
Ne vous fiez pas à la moyenne d'étoiles..la nourriture est vraiment ordinaire, voire décevante. J'ai goûté toutes les entrées & ça me semble être du surgelé ou juste une cuisine semi médiocre. De la panure, pas ou pratiquement pas de pieuvre, le milieu des bouchées a une texture mouillée/pré-mâché. Pour moi, ce n'est pas de la cuisine authentique, loin de là.
Courez vite à ce restaurant! Cuisine, authentique, coréenne avec aussi Des couleurs japonaises. Plats copieux. Thés délicieux servis en début de repas. Nous y retournerons.
