In case you haven’t heard, Makoto has moved to an awesome new space on the 3rd floor. Re-envisioned by Paris-based designer India Mahdavi, it’s a bold new look which will take your dining experience to a whole new level. Bright colors and cozy banquettes. More outdoor dining. More seats at the sushi counter. And of course, the food and drink will be as fabulous as ever.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Makoto Okuwa ushers Japanese cuisine into the 21st century at his eponymous eatery, located on the 3rd floor of the luxurious Bal Harbour Shops. One of Miami’s most accomplished chefs, Okuwa, a master of Edomae-style sushi, reshapes tradition for a savvy audience eager for something new. Those looking for the perfect spot for a romantic date, a lunch with friends or to celebrate a special occasion, will delight in this remarkable cuisine immersed in a stunning setting created by internationally renowned designer, India Mahdavi.

    Sushi was very fresh. Cooked foods were not as good. Yaki noodles had tad too much soy sauce and charred Brussels sprouts had too much vinegar. House salad was very good

    Management was attentive and delivered excellent service (ie: switching our plates after appetizer course involving raw seafood). Servers generally did not add to the experience - dropped off dishes with no description or details. Food was delicious and lively fun ambiance.

    Great food and value. This will be my new go-to place for Japanese dining or any top shelf dining. There were 4 of us and we got to order a number of dishes - all were delicious and perhaps outstanding.

    The vibe is outstanding, beautiful surroundings. Modern Japanese food was truly outstanding. The Seabass in particular was the best we’ve ever eaten. Nicole our server was outstanding. Makoto has a culture of excellence which permeates every element of this restaurant! Run, don’t walk to Makoto!
