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 really liked the free salad & tteokkochi. The tempura udon's broth was unfortunately a bit flavorless to me, the noodles were cooked nicely, tempura were perfectly crunchy & crispy & it came with a decent amount of other toppings. But the lacking broth really made it disappointing.

I really had a great experience! The waiter was very attentive & recommended excellent choices as appetizers. The food was really fresh & tasty!

Great little place in Little Italy. The food was perfect & very reasonable prices. The Bibimbap was amazing.

I was disappointed that I could not taste the fish eggs in the Al-bab. My son did warn me, but I really wanted to try the dish. Unfortunately, he was right.

Next time, I will order the Bibimbap.

My son LOVES Makoto. It's his favourite Korean restaurant.
