2026 dine in: Pretty decor. Welcoming service but don't like that we had to pay at the counter & that the paypad didn't give us tip options. Pork Katsu curry was good, nice presentation. Nice sake.
2024 Delivery: Seafood pancake was tasty & a generous portion but was mostly vegetables with not as much keeping it together. Takoyaki were nice & soft. Bibimpab was typical. My friend enjoyed her Katsu chicken.

Good food, ordered the poulet katsu & it was actually filling with the portions & since you also get the miso soup beforehand.
Miso soup aint my thing but still good.
Service is quick & proactive despite there have been one server this evening.
Nothing bad to say, would gladly come back.

Amazing katsu! Our server with glasses was so attentive & gave us free dessert for waiting for our table. The atmosphere is cozy & great gamjatang!

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

So tasty!! & the price point is right on!! The tofu salad is so surprisingly good, the tofu has such a great texture! Pork Katsu is delicious too. Definitely will be ordering again.

This spot is amazing. Great new find. I'm not sure how other rate it lower than 4-5 stars. The portions are big, & you get a miso soup with a salad for below average price, that's unbeatable at this day & age.

The food came really fast. There's only one waiter yet he managed to serve us politely & pack the food for the other tables & take other orders or pay bill. He's very efficient.

More detail on the food: (if you're willing to read)

I haven't had a good pancake like that in awhile. Not too much better & just the right amount of crispy with veggies. It wasn't too overcooked like some place & oily.

The Katsu had more batter but still very crispy. But this is my preference bc I don't like batter & carbs, I can go protein all day.

The karage has good amount of meat. A bit on the firmer side than the juicy soft but maybe it's the chicken breast rather than other parts of the chicken.

The salad entré has great flavor with olives, tomatoes & greens. The miso was also great. I usually don't like the grainy dense texture but it didn't bother me & wasn't salty like some places.

This is my first time trying the Okonomiyaki & it was amazing. It was filling. I wished it had more protein but again this is just me. There's good amount of sauce & full of veggies. Can't go wrong! I loved it, I was so full after that even though I shouldn't be eating like that on my cut.

Sorry for not taking picture before devouring it! 😅
