This is a great place for dinner. There's outdoor patio seating in through the back of the restaurant. They've got a wide variety and everything is fresh. Can't wait to go back.

We had a reservation but the hostess seemed confused...we sat outside in the middle of the shops - great people watching. Service was slow, uninspired. Food was quite mediocre. The edamame was good but the sushi was just so-so. Nothing exciting. Definitely would not return.

If you are wandering around the Bal Harbor Shops, wishing you could afford anything for sale in this fabulous little mall, you may want to stop in at Makoto for a very tasty and filling bento box. We were there on a late weekday afternoon in April and the restaurant was quiet and relaxed, perfect for five hungry adults and... More

This restaurant is amazing! Despite the fact that it is located in the upscale Bal Harbour mall, it is actually reasonably priced and has a non-pretentious atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious with good portion sizes. The tuna tataki, the eggplant robata and the rock shrimp tempura maki are a must-have. The only downside of this restaurant is location if... More

The ambiance, especially the outdoor patio is lovely as well as comfortable. Try a variety of dishes including the fresh sushi, short rib skewers, special fried rice, tuna tartare, shrimp salad and on and on. Everything is wonderful! If you're looking for a sweet finish, the chocolate cake with ice cream will hit the spot.

A well appointed sushi shop in the tony Bal Harbour shops provides a great venue for high quality Japanese fare. Ample portions well presented. Six choice bento lunch specials resonably priced. Eat in or outdoors.
