El estilo gastronómico de Makoto está basado en la tradición, el cual se revitaliza con toques frescos y originales. La marca proviene de Bal Harbour, en Miami, diseñada en 2011 por el chef Makoto Okuwa, quien fue discípulo de Morimoto. Tras el éxito de sus platillos tradicionales con una gran estética y sabores inesperados, se abrieron restaurantes en Panamá, México y Brasil. El plan de expansión consiste en inaugurar más sucursales en Latinoamércia.

    La comida en general estuvo excelente, desde la presentación hasta la cocción. Las gyozas son superiores, y la carne wagyou que viene para terminar de prepararla en la piedra caliente, uff, buenísimo. Ordenamos también un postre, la bola de helado en una crema con frutas caliente y chocolate blanco, que fue una explosión de sabores. El servicio recibido fue muy bueno, lo único que podría criticar, y es algo muy personal, es que la música estaba muy alta para mi gusto. De todos modos, recomiendo este lugar a ojos cerrados.

    Pesima atencion, habia que llamar varias veces al camarero que nos atendía pues a las mujeres no escuchaba y se iba Al pedir mi rol solicité de camaron y llegó de kanikama, el camarero se puso a discutir que traía camarón en alguna parte Pedí copa de vino y no la sirvió en la mesa por lo que no tuve certeza del vino que me trajeron La musica pedimos bajarla ya que nos sentaron al frente del DJ y no hubo caso, 3 horas de horroroso esfuerzo por escuchar nuestra conversación La comida estaba buena aunque para nada especial para los altos precios que cobran No vale la pena ir aunque sea una vez Mala experiencia, mala atención, mal ambiente Very bad service, we had to call the waiter several times because he didn't listen to the women and left. When I asked for my role I requested shrimp and it came from kanikama, the waiter started to argue that he had shrimp somewhere. I asked for a glass of wine and it was not served at the table so I was not sure of the wine that was brought to me. We asked for the music to be turned down as we were seated in front of the DJ and it was no use, 3 hours of horrendous effort to listen to our conversation. Food was good but nothing special for the high prices they charge. Not worth going even once Bad experience, bad service, bad atmosphere

    This is definitely the best Japanese in town. Nigiri, Sashimi, Maki prepare Tokyo style with mind blowing fish quality and fine cuts. The Japanese fusion dishes bring a touch of elegant and refined modernity to cater for those in search of a cooked contemporary experience. Kudos to the Sake menu; Dassai 23 is a must go for the aficionados!

    La comida esta muy buena, pero nos hicieron pasar mal, tenia una reservaciom y nos mandaron a comer en el sushi bar como si fuese "no tener reserva" queria una mesa, que nunca me dieron, mal servicio en la logisitica de ubicarte mesa, los precios, bastante caro. Me miraron mal como que querian que me fuera del lugar, decepcion con el trato de la persona que te ubica las mesas, no pedi los otros platos, pedi una combicaciom de sushi y me fui lo mas pronto posible y me fui para otro restaurante donde me tratan mejor
