" How do I put into words the delight of dining at Makomae? The omakase was a symphony of flavors, showcasing the chef's expertise and artistry. While the place was quite busy, the staff handled everything with competence and grace. You can tell this is a restaurant that values fresh ingredients, especially with some items imported directly from Japan. I highly recommend the corn tempura – it was sweet and crisp. Do remember to book ahead. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the experience at Makomae! The menu has a nice variety, and their sushi is seriously fresh. The overall vibe is cozy but expect a wait. I was fond of their California rolls but wouldn’t steer away from the specials on the menu. A great addition to the local dining scene! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply the best! Everything from the sushi to the service was top-tier. You can genuinely tell how much care goes into the dining experience here. It can get quite busy but don’t let that deter you. Just plan ahead and make a reservation, and you will not regret it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently dined here and while I enjoyed the sushi, there were some hiccups with the service. We had to wait a bit longer than expected for our table, although the food made up for it. The chirashi was fresh, and the variety was impressive. I plan to return but with a reservation next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We loved the authentic ambiance and the love for detail showcased in every dish. The nigiri was beautifully paired with wasabi, and their chef was clearly passionate and skilled. Be prepared for a wait, but once you're seated, it’s a peaceful dining experience! Highly recommend the shrimp tempura too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food in a cozy setting. I had the pleasure of trying their omakase and was impressed by various flavors and textures. While the place was small, it felt quite intimate. The only drawback was my experience with the wait staff's attentiveness, which could use a bit more polish. Overall, a memorable meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" The only problem we faced was with the timing. The food came out quickly, but we still had to wait quite a while for a table. Once seated, the sushi was exquisite. I particularly enjoyed the uni and ikura; they melted in my mouth! I'm definitely planning another visit, hopefully with fewer wait issues. " (*Curated Review*)
