What people say

Makoto, located on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, is a popular sushi restaurant that has received mixed reviews from various sources. According to recent newspaper reviews, Makoto has been praised for its fresh and high-quality sushi. The Miami Herald gave the restaurant a positive review in 2019, stating that "Makoto's sushi is some of the freshest and most flavorful in Miami." However, a more recent review by the same publication in 2021 was less enthusiastic, citing inconsistent quality and high prices.

Magazine reviews have also been mixed. In 2020, Eater Miami named Makoto as one of the best sushi restaurants in the city, praising its creative rolls and fresh ingredients. However, a review by Ocean Drive Magazine in 2021 criticized the restaurant's service and atmosphere while still acknowledging the quality of the food.

Online reviews have been more varied. On Yelp, Makoto has an overall rating of four stars out of five based on over 1,000 reviews. Many customers praise the sushi as well as other dishes like the miso black cod and wagyu beef skewers. However, some negative reviews mention slow service or high prices.

Customer comments published online include both positive and negative experiences at Makoto. One customer on TripAdvisor wrote that it was "the best sushi I've ever had," while another said they were disappointed with their meal and felt it was overpriced.

In conclusion, while Makoto has received praise for its fresh sushi and creative rolls from some sources such as Eater Miami and The Miami Herald (in 2019), other reviews have criticized inconsistent quality or high prices. Online customer reviews are generally positive but do include some negative experiences as well. It seems that whether or not someone enjoys their experience at Makoto may depend on factors such as what they order or how busy the restaurant is at the time of their visit.
