" I had a great time visiting Makoto. From the moment I walked in, I was treated warmly, and the staff was attentive. The California Rolls were decent, but the sushi lacked that next-level freshness I was hoping for. Still, it’s a nice place to grab sushi on a weekend night. " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi was good, but the ambiance felt a little too casual for my taste. Service was prompt, but I was surprised by the portion sizes for the price. Other experiences were better; however, the quality of fish was on point. It's a decent place for a quick bite but don't expect fine dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am glad I came here! The freshness of the fish is unmatched. Sitting at the sushi bar allows you to see everything the chefs are doing, which adds to the experience. I will say it's not the largest spot, so it can get a little crowded at peak hours. Still, I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Makoto but left slightly disappointed. While the staff was nice, the sushi portions felt small for the price. The fish quality was decent but not exceptional. I expected something a bit more authentic, as the reviews suggested great quality. I'll give it another go, but hopefully, next time will be better! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the Crunch Roll, and it was packed with flavor! The texture was crispy and delightful. My partner and I also shared the California Roll, which was fresh and well-made. We had a pleasant meal, but I felt the prices were a tad high for what we received. Nonetheless, the service was attentive, so I would still recommend trying this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was happy to discover this cozy sushi bar! The rolls were delicious and expertly prepared with quality ingredients. Though my sushi roll was a bit pricier than anticipated, it was worth it due to the flavor and freshness. Would definitely recommend to sushi lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining here was a delightful experience! The warm smiles from the staff and mouthwatering sushi make for a fantastic combination. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and wouldn't hesitate to order it again! It's cozy and offers a nice vibe, perfect for casual gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)
