Absolutely spectacular! I was in Chicago for two nights and had accidentally booked my reservation the day after I would be... leaving. The lovely staff and head chef however were able to accommodate me and the food was spectacular. I strongly recommendthe wine/sake pairing as well. Read more
Absolutely amazing, you get what you pay for in food, vibe, and service. On the wine pairings: I felt most of the pairings were... pretty good, even when I didn't love the actual drink but I'm not particularly into alcohol. I did really enjoy the tea myfriend ordered, for me it was even better than most of the wine/sake (but again I'm no connoisseur in that area) Read more
What a disappointment! Not sure why or how this place got a michelin star but it sure as heck is not deserving of it. Even after... a 17-course meal, and almost a G out of pocket, we were still hungry and eventually ended up at McDonald’s to curb the hunger.We’ve been to several restaurants globally for tasting menus and NEVER have we left hungry. Mako has so far been theexception. Each course is a tiny half-bite of sushi or sashimi—some of which were really nothing special. There were, however,some pieces that absolutely melted in your mouth—they had a fish from Scotland that was so well-paired with other flavors, butI’d say overall, we liked 3 of the 17 courses. Anywhere you go, a score of 18% would be considered a fail. Not only was thefood abysmal, the service was low key a let down. The server would bring the dishes to our table, drop them off, and simply walkaway. No explanation was ever provided beyond “this is bluefin tuna” (which by the way, was on a little menu paper they gaveus). I want to know, how is it prepared? What other ingredients are involved? Is there a specific way to enjoy this course?Nothing. Our server wasn’t knowledgeable about sushi beyond that which was on the menu, and even then she couldn’t answerquestions beyond that which she has likely memorized. If you’re paying over $250 per head, you expect service that isknowledgeable, informative, and efficient. The service here was none of the above. We came to celebrate a birthday and felt likewe made a mistake doing so. It was truly a disappointing and sad experience. Read more
Best Sushi I’ve had outside of Japan. We sat at the counter and had a lovely few hours. Every bite was delicious and... interesting. It’s not cheap, but if you’re a sushi fan it’s a must try omakase spot. Read more

We loved meal here. It was very intimate setting with great service. I am not a sushi fan but my husband insisted we go here. It... was delicious. My favorite was the cod but everything was awesome. I also loved the jasmine tea my server recommended. Read more
