“I did not try the sushi and will on my next visit. Quiet,quaint establishment with a older couple running the show. Great service with great food. My wallet had fallen out of my pocket my last visit...I returned the next afternoon and sure enough, the owner had it. I was so grateful!“

“Makara Restaurant was a great experience. I ordered the jalapeño roll, which was delicious with just the right amount of spice. For an appetizer, I had the gyoza potstickers, and they were very good. The presentation was nice, and the service from the owner, Jason, was excellent. Highly recommend!“

“Service very attentive, good wss delicious. I had chicken teriyaki bowl and luckily I asked with vegetables almost as question. Came w lovely broccoli. Sounds like it's normally only rice and chicken. I'd prefer teriyaki king if that's the case, for that dish.“

“It was my first time eating sushi from your restaurant. It was really good,I really like this restaurant. The food is fresh, tastes good, sushi rolls are tasty, the restaurant is clean, the staff are friendly. I'll definitely visit here often.“

“I had seen the positive reviews, so my wife and I tried their takeout.
The positive reviews are well deserved, and you can add us to the list. Very nice portion size, very tasty, and all meats pork, beef (Mongolian), and cashew chicken were very tender.
Excellent, we'll be back. :-)“

“I enjoyed my stay it was cool“

“The team here is awesome and the food is good“

“WOW!
I've attempted to come here a few times not realizing it was during the midday close, however today we came for dinner. I am so glad we did. The service was exceptional and thoughtfully attentive but not overbearing. The pan fried gyozas were delicate and flavorful. The spicy edamame were the most flavorful and well balanced I've tried in town(and I've tried them all). I got the (haha) Dirty old man roll and every bite was delicious and well rounded. The miso soup was perfectly hot and the hot sake was filled to the brim. All in all an absolute pleasure of a dining experience. 10/10 my only regret is not coming here sooner.“

“Evan was our hibachi cook! Amazing and he made it super fun for the kids and made my step mom Linda feel special on her birthday! Thank you“

“Called my order in when I left the office and it was hot and ready when I picked it up! Nice, friendly staff, and good food!“

“Overall good tasting food and still somewhat reasonably priced“

“Great sushi, price inline with other places. But waitresses need to check in on the table a little more and avoid texting on their phones when there are customers. Not saying the waitresses aren’t nice and friendly. Overall l this is my favorite sushi restaurant.“
