Our Chef was excellent. He prepared my food first with gluten free soy sauce so that my food wasn’t contaminated with gluten from the rest of the food. He also kept a metal bowl over the liver (other people ordered)while it cooked so that we didn’t have too look at or smell raw liver while it was cooking. Our food was very good and our order was correct. The chef was also very entertaining. The service seemed a little slow but the restaurant was very busy at the time we were there.
We have been coming here for years! Whether eating in the bar or the restaurant the food is always excellent, the staff is great, and we enjoy each visit! Well worth the drive for us!
As always, the best place in the area to eat. The food, the staff, the atmosphere, and the experience are second to none. That's why I ALWAYS go back!
Audin our server was awesome and the food is great as well. We will definitely be back.
This is a great place to eat the food is amazing and I love the chefs doing the tricks as they prepare the food.
Fantastic dinner with my fiancé last night at Makoto’s! Excellent food, wonderful service, great ambience and super fun folks at the table! We will definitely be back!
We celebrated our 8th anniversary here and it was as always great! Food was good, chef was very entertaining and the wait was short!
Wow!! Really loved this place! 1st time coming to this restaurant. Ask for Audan...we were lucky to listen to him play his guitar and sing. What a beautiful voice. Thank you for making my parties' experience A+++
Come to Boone often, but this is my first time at Makoto’s.
Love Hibachi and I’ve been to a few. This one checks most of the boxes. We came at lunch and it was very cold in the building, which I didn’t mind but others in my group weren’t happy about it, so the fire show was welcome.
They were very accommodating with my mother’s allergy to shrimp and considerate to everyone at the table. The soup appetizer was the best I’ve had compared to other hibachi places and the salad with ginger dressing was good as well.
I tried the Shumai (Pork filled dumpling) fried. I’d recommend getting it steamed, however, but it was good. The sauce it came with was a little too salty in my opinion.
Shout out to the Chef, I didn’t get his name but he was a cool dude.
Typical hibachi style Japanese restaurant. I had the filet, medium rare of course, and it was cooked to perfection! The chef was awesome, the wait was about 20-30 minutes, and it was a great experience!
I would like to pay a compliment to Bailey who was our server, our chef (whose name I don’t know), and all the staff at Makoto’s. Bailey was extremely hospitable, very kind and welcoming. She seemed to be very genuine and I really appreciate that. She made our first visit a great visit and I just want to say thank you.
We came here with my almost 2 year old. Our waiter was phenomenal. Caleb went above and beyond . He asked us how could he accommodate our little one so we can have an enjoyable time. Juice, food whatever he can do to help. Our drinks were always filled, any extras he brought out fast. Thank you so much Caleb! Food and service was excellent!
Enjoyed every aspect of the food, the service, and the chef! I would definitely recommend coming here with your family and friends for a delicious display of Japanese cuisine and artistry. My only complaint is that it was COLD in there, otherwise we had a great time.
Wow this is possibly the best Japanese restaurant I've ever been to!! Everything was cooked perfectly and the carrots were so good my wife even ate hers!!!
This was the first time I ever went to a restaurant like this. It was very fun and entertaining. The food was cooked perfect and was a generous serving. Only thing I could add is it would be nice to have something extra on the menu for the picky eaters. Would love for the entire family to go.
Great service, We had chef Kevin and he truly changed my life. His show was absolutely stunning. A mix of emotional and physical theatrics. An absolute out of body experience.
Exceptional -
1. Busy but fast.
2. Good service

5. Still does free two piece shrimp appetizer (most restaurants of this type stopped doing long ago).
6. Free fried banana desert - never seen this! (also pictured below).
Arrived around 8:30, so we missed the dinner crowd and were seated immediately. Our server was great (said his name was Leroy Brown). We had a great time with our tablemates. The food was good and the experience was fun. You always receive more than your fair share in portion size!
Good food & service. 1 hour wait time due to limited covid seating, Friday night, & winter season but worth the wait. Talented cook & very friendly. Special delight, I've never had sugared cooked banana's, they were Great 🎉
Great food & AMAZING service! I have MANY dietary restrictions including gluten. They were very cautious & I still ended up with a delicious meal. 10/10 recommend!
