Makoto, a Japanese restaurant tucked away in Burnaby, offers a delightful dining experience with its warm, family-run atmosphere and unpretentious decor. The owner-operator works so hard, often front of house as well as chef, making the value terrific.
The focus at Makoto is on the food, and it does not disappoint. Starters such as agedashi tofu, with its perfectly cooked texture and flavorful dashi broth, exemplify the restaurant's skill. The crispy California rolls, featuring a must-try tempura batter, and the seaweed salad, are other standout dishes. Sometimes you just want a good, quick bite of authentic Japanese food, and this is the place. Real natto rolls are on the menu, and they are absolutely delicious—perfectly balanced with great texture and flavor. The rice is the moistest, chewiest, though there are some uncooked inside.
Entrees such as the ten tama don, with its delicate sweet egg and savory shrimp tempura, showcase the restaurant's commitment to providing delicious, authentic Japanese food. The sushi, a big focus on the menu, has been highly praised for its taste and quality. The ingredients are fresh, and the presentation is beautiful despite the casual, homey setting.
Prices are affordable, making Makoto an excellent choice for those seeking authentic Japanese cuisine at a great value. The restaurant is not a place for a fancy or trendy scene, but rather a place to enjoy delicious food and warm hospitality. If looking for a hidden gem in Burnaby, Makoto is definitely worth a visit. It’s a cozy little spot run by a Japanese couple, and you can truly feel the care and authenticity in everything they do.
