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.

Makoto Okuwa ushers Japanese cuisine into the 21st century at his eponymous eatery, located on the 3rd floor of the luxurious Bal Harbour Shops. 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.

The food is always delicious, They need more new dishes to the menu. Like the Chicken dumpling it’s one of the most delicious dish in the menu they should have with veggie. And Also different Variety of sushi roll. It’s one of the best restaurant in town. ❤️🙏

Very unpleasant experience, you feel like you’re in a fast food restaurant & you’re treated as if the hostesses are doing you a favor by allowing you to eat there. Leaves a very bad aftertaste. We had 2 more reservations for this week which we d cancelled.

Hostess team was rather disappointing! There were 4 ladies trying to decide where our party should be seated, discussing that took over 2-3 minutes, ultimately asking out party of 3 to wait and move away from the counter while reminding us that we were 5 minutes early! This team is the face of the restaurant and the first interaction that customers have…Fortunately our server was amazing and the food as usual out of this world!

Food was great. Outdoor space was nice. Prices were high but worth it. My only complaint was that they charged $5.00 for an ice filled glass of Diet Coke - with no free refills! Nickel and dining people seemed kind of tacky to me!!
