This was one of the worst sushi restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life. The fish was old, bland and flavorless. This is grocery store sushi at best. The service was absolutely terrible when they forgot two of our orders. If you like sushi, DO NOT come here. It’s not good.

Food is okay, mediocre. Staff is insanely slow. Took 30 min for each simple roll I ordered

Amazing. That’s all I have to say. Customer service, amazing. Food, amazing. Place, amazing. I’ve never actually liked sushi but I came here with family and was completely shocked and made me look at sushi differently. Would easily come again.

no Japanese people work here
the place was mostly empty when I went in on saturday night, with 2 hours till closing time . I ordered the 91Roll, but after almost 2o minutes went by , I realized it’s taking way too long with only a few customers in the restaurant, so I cancelled my order and left.
The people working here don’t follow any Japanese customs, such as saying ‘irashaimase’ , which is so basic and customary at Japaneae places , but the people working here don’t follow any of such customs. I think this is a Chinese-Thai owned and operated place , based off the Thai-style decorations behind the bar.
Delicious sushi. Very friendly sushi chefs. Prepared with great care. Incredible value for the fish quality. Valley “old school” at its best!

Cute restaurant and good service but the food is underwhelming. Food looks beautiful but some flavors are overbalanced. And the spicy tuna was just boring.

Use to go every week, was in town and wanted to try it again VERY disappointing! Small sushi pieces, dry rice, the dynamite was so fishy and loaded with huge pieces of onion. Very expensive. Will never go back

I have been coming to Makoto for a long time since iv lived in the area my entire life. I have always enjoyed my self! The fish is always good quality and the size of the pieces are perfect. Everything taste amazing and it is a long and welcoming environment! The service is always great and I highly recommend this place if you want some quality sushi.

I usually, don't write reviews unless something is extreme.(good or bad) but this was not the case. I read some reviews and 1 said best sushi on Ventura blvd. So we went for our 1st time, definitely not close to best sushi on the blvd. We had an assortment of items, so good overview. None bad. But just ok. They had a Salmon Poke special that would have been really good. But the carrots they put in were pickled, so it kinda ruined it. The other thing I found odd is they have cafeteria style trays at sushi bar seating and they bring you food and set it on them for you to eat off, which makes it feel cheap. Must be for fast clean up I guess. The last was I wanted some Sriracha, small amount for Poke, and I was charged for it when check came. Anyway. Not a bad place, just very mediocre in my opinion. Oh and roll selection needs some reworking as well not too interesting. Really didn't want to write this as its a small local biz, which i like to support, but it was definitely a let down and we were really in mood for sushi! Hope this helps someone when you're craving good sushi.
Would not recommend
They charge you 2 times without telling you
$100 and went home hungry
Definitely dont recommend
They need to issue a refund
