Best Restaurants for Foodies in Miami Lakes

I enjoyed my Christmas dinner at Makoto. I was running a little late but when I arrived they were willing to sit me immediately. I had a reservation but wanted to sit at the bar. Antonio is amazing with customer service. When he wasn’t around the other bartender Michelle was checking in on me. Even when I appeared to need help, a Manager (Cindy) stopped and ask me did I need anything make my experience better. Happy Holidays!! I will be back to see them. Food: Crab baked Handroll - 10 out of 10! I had two. Chicken gyozas or potstickers (not sure) 9 out of 10 (I thought they would be fried) Rock Shrimp - 9 out of 10 (a dipping sauce will make them perfect) Chicken Ramen - 7 out of 10 (it’s good but somethings missing in the flavor) I’m just working my way through the menu but I will definitely be back. Again and Again!

The hostess' treatment was rude, she was very impatient and spoke in a disrespectful tone, the treatment of the waiters was excellent, they gave us recommendations and the conversation with them was pleasant, but the service at the entrance leaves a lot to be desired

Quality of food, service and overall experience was excellent. It is loud inside the restaurant however, still a 5 star.

We had dinner at another location so this was solely for the energetic experience we saw online and drinks. The music was great and the energy was unmatched. If you want to be in the center of everything you will need great a table in the front room where the stage is. The drinks were expensive but good (There were 4 of us, 2 drinks per person expect to spend $350+.) My only critique was someone took the time to call me to confirm my reservation and asked If we wanted the complimentary bday dessert however we never received anything wishing him a happy birthday.

Always delicious! Must get the Komodo chicken salad and the peking duck, add the waygu dumplings if you need more food! Place is trendy and a little loud but worth it… go early if you want less noise (it’s what I do).
