Le Makoto est un restaurant qui apporte de la variété. Le menu à un peu de tout, des plats traditionnels favoris coréens et japonais. La nourriture est savoureuse, travaillée et abordable!
Débutez avec un cocktail original, ils sont vraiment amusants! Ensuite, vous commanderez la plus délicieuse et réconfortante soupe de porc épicée et un tempura de poisson incroyable. Le Deung Gal bi est inoubliable, le plus tendre est juteux que vous aurez essayé. Leurs ingrédients sont de qualité et plein de saveurs exceptionnelles. Un endroit très propre, avec une bonne ambiance et un service convivial et très rapide également. Sincèrement l'un des meilleurs restos coréens et japonais de Montréal!
Makoto est décrit comme un petit spot agréable où le personnel est sympathique et l'ambiance est conviviale. Plusieurs plats comme le bibimbap et le kimchi jjigae sont salués pour leurs saveurs et les portions, et le service est jugé rapide et attentif. Cependant, les changements de carte lors de la réouverture ont déçu certains habitués qui regrettent des plats emblématiques tels que sundubu jjigae, les udon au poulet frit et certains accompagnements, et l'impression générale est que les associations et les goûts se sont modifiés. Des commentaires signalent que certains accompagnements, comme les pommes de terre et les haricots verts, arrivaient froids et que la panure du katsu était plus sèche. La qualité reste globalement bonne avec des prix raisonnables et plusieurs avis recommandent de revenir, certains notant que des ajustements via Uber Eats ont permis de retrouver lancienne version sur demande. Pour les commandes à emporter, le conditionnement peut influencer la perception des plats et certains éléments comme le kimchi jeon et l'okonomiyaki paraissent meilleurs à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur.
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! 😅
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.
Delicious food that proves there is love in cooking. Fresh chicken, shrimp, & beef. I loved the softness of the rice, & the crispy mess of each of the dishes. Definitely order katsu when you come here!
From the moment we stepped into Restaurant Makoto, we were greeted by the warm ambiance that promised a memorable dining experience. The starters set the stage for the culinary delights that followed. The Pajeon was a crispy, savory pancake that was a perfect blend of flavors & textures, while the Takoyaki was a delightful treat, with its tender octopus filling encased in a light & fluffy batter. The main course was a generous display of the restaurant's commitment to both quality & quantity. The Chicken Katsu was a standout, with its perfectly crispy exterior & succulent interior, accompanied by a hearty portion of steamed rice, fresh vegetables, & two delectable gyozas. But the star of the evening was undoubtedly the Chicken Okonomiyaki. This Japanese savory pancake was not only huge in size but also in flavor. Each bite was a mix of tender chicken & a rich, complex array of seasonings that made it extremely flavorful. In conclusion, Restaurant Makoto in Montreal is a gem that offers an authentic taste of Japanese cuisine. The dishes we tried were not only delicious but also presented with care, making our dining experience truly exceptional. We left with our appetites fully satisfied & our taste buds tantalized, eagerly anticipating our next visit.
