In case you haven’t heard, Makoto has moved to an awesome new space on the 3rd floor. Re-envisioned by Paris-based designer India Mahdavi, it’s a bold new look which will take your dining experience to a whole new level. Bright colors and cozy banquettes. More outdoor dining. More seats at the sushi counter. And of course, the food and drink will be as fabulous as ever.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Those looking for the perfect spot for a romantic date, a lunch with friends or to celebrate a special occasion, will delight in this remarkable cuisine immersed in a stunning setting created by internationally renowned designer, India Mahdavi.

    Charging someone for a can of Diet Coke $7.50 is outrageous. The food took a long time to come out of the kitchen and the restaurant was empty.

    The most incredible dishes - the best seaweed salad, veggie fried rice and the soft-shell crab roll was outstanding! Incredible flavor, freshness and even better than anything that I have had while traveling across Japan. A true gem!!!

    We got the sushi sampler, wagyu strip, crispy tuna, handroll, and okinawa tres leches. Everything was amazing. I loved the view and ambiance of the rooftop. Service was amazing as well.

    Food in Makoto is fine , not the best sushi I had but ok. The experience is very disappointing, noise level very high impossible to have a nice dinner there. Service is average not especially in any way. We used to frequent go to Makoto before when it was in the first floor. It had chance ,the quality of food and also the clientele. It’s became vulgar, noisy and bright. Not recommend
