Restaurant Makoto Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
JapaneseKoreanBBQAsianFusionSushiBrunch
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!

Review Summary

Restaurant Makoto draws praise for delicious, affordable Korean and Japanese dishes with generous portions and a satisfying mix of flavors. Dishes like pork katsu, bibimbap, tofu dishes, agedashi tofu, teok kochi, kimchi jeon, okonomiyaki, and miso soup come up frequently as standout items, with many noting crispy textures and balanced seasoning. Service is described as friendly and attentive, and the vibe is pleasant with a clean space, though there are occasional comments about being served a bit quickly between courses when busy. Several reviewers mention strong value and reliable delivery, though one note suggests packaging can leave certain dishes slightly wet inside. The restaurant's location near a market is highlighted as convenient, and the concept of blending Japanese and Korean flavors is appreciated. A few critics mention menu changes that altered sides like vegetables on the plate, with some missing the previous version but still enjoying the overall quality. Overall, consensus points to reliable flavor, good portions, fair prices, and a willingness to return or recommend to others.

I love this place. My family & I come here often. But, regarding the new menu, I am not convinced about the changes. I miss the sundubu jjigae & the beef/seafood udon. Also, the salad with the ginger vinaigrette... I hope the restaurant brings them back soon !

We were excited to return to Makoto after its closure during the holidays, but we were disappointed with the menu changes as well as the presentation. We ordered the Katsu chicken & noticed that the new side dish (potatoes, Green beans, mushrooms) as well as the rice were served cold. We preferred the previous side, which consisted of a salad with a variety of vegetables & the delicious dressing that paired so well with the dumplings & rice. We also noticed that the chicken's breading was more crumbly. Overall, our experience was less satisfying than usual. We hope that the restaurant will consider bringing back elements of the previous menu, which we greatly enjoyed.

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

Les quantités ont l'air petites, mais pour moi qui suis une grande mangeuse, j'étais plutôt pleine à la fin. La nourriture est très bonne.

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.
