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.

One of Miami’s most accomplished chefs, Okuwa, a master of Edomae-style sushi, reshapes tradition for a savvy audience eager for something new. 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.

    Good spot. St. Regis Bar has better sushi. Ambiance of restaurant and mall is unmatched though. Bourbon pour was weak. Sit outside for better experience.

    Food was amazing. My only bugs, it's that I expected a little it more on service and presentation. Menu was old, dirty and even my husbands menu had no menu inside. Waitress' shirt was dirty and it was only 11:30am.

    Makoto is my favorite restaurant! The food is always delicious! The only thing I wish they could improve, is the noise level. When it gets crowded, it is pretty loud. I went there for my friend’s birthday and we both loved it and had a wonderful time! I highly recommend it!

    Great food, rather expensive. Sitting outside is much nicer for lunch as not much atmosphere inside during the day. The truffle salmon was amazing. The imitation crab roll was delicious. Overall a very enjoyable lunch although the waiter (server) had too many tables to look after so was not that attentive and missed out one dish that we ordered.
