Restaurant Makoto

I’ve come here three times to date and it had always been great! All the bento are beautifully crafted and delicious. Some of the best Japanese food I’ve had in Montréal, certainly the best in the area. Highly recommended!

I work just around the corner from this restaurant and it is a great lunch spot! Really good specials and comes with a soup and a salad. Friendly staff and good service.

Their gamjatang had more bones than meat. Their seaweed salad had more cabbage than seaweed. The place is clean and the service is pleasant, though.

Une bonne petite place qui apporte de la variété quand on habite la Petite Italie. Très propre, bonne présentation, bon service. Les plats sont bons, travaillés et de surcroît, abordables! Ça vaut un 4,5 étoiles plutôt qu’un 5/​5, mais je fais un effort parce qu’ils viennent d’ouvrir et font déjà bonne impression.

I was extremely pleased with my visit here.
Located near the northern end of Little Italy, this newly opened Korean-​Japanese restaurant is truly a delight.
The décor is pleasant, but nothing too special; they took over from an older restaurant; it’s not a new construct. The server is quite pleasant and the menu is detailed and comprehensive. They have a decently wide range of items, including takoyaki, udon, yakiudon, okonomiyaki, etc.
Prices are quite affordable: 11 – 13 dollars in general for bentos and noodles, while certain dishes like the galbi are closer to 18. Tempura and karaage are around 14 for large orders. They also have sushi and sashimi, which range in the 18 to 28 dollar range.
They stay open until 9 o’clock, but if you’re there already they won’t force you out even if it’s past 9.
The meal presentation is extremely tasteful and clean, and added a lot to the dining experience.
Now the food! Everything was fresh and hot. The salad is a sesame-​vinaigrette common to many Japanese restaurants, and the miso soup is quite delicious. I ordered the takoyaki appetizer, which was also fresh and hot, and quite flavourful. For the main I had the pork katsu bento, which includes spring rolls, vegetable tempura, and garlic potatoes on top of rice. The katsu was freshly fried and hot, with a sweet and tangy katsu sauce complemented by spicy mayo. We also ordered karaage (fried chicken) to share, which was delicious.
Overall this was an extremely pleasant experience and I highly recommend it.

Just had one of the freshest korean meal in a long time! The most delicious Gamjatang, spicy pork soup and amazing fish tempura with a perfectly suited Miyazaki soundtrack. It’s a new restaurant in Petite-​Italie neighborhood and I highly suggest it! Miam!

have just had dinner with Asian food hunters. we reserved our place in advance but wasnt crowded at all. maybe its still too new. anyway lucky us to stay for like 3hrs.
food was beautiful and creative. i paid like 12.50 $ and got shrimp fries/​spring roll/​tempura/​even fried potate on my plate, on top of rice. there is more luxualy choice like sushi and sashimi as well.
but best part of this resto was their «cleaness». not only bcz its new, but also their way to serve, to clean the table, to pour water, to present dishes… they are really careful in many ways. good service.

Everything was fresh and clean they also have Great food presentation. People should jusy come here to try out! That’s all I can say. No regrets! No doubt!

Excellent, everything was fresh and taste perfect.
We tried the takowasabi, udon noodle and bento box shrimp.
way better than other japanese /​korean in Montréal.
