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.

    Makoto is one of, if not the best spot for sushi in the U.S. the quality, atmosphere and service are unmatched. We love celebrating a birthday here last night and will absolutely return.

    The food here is always a delicacy. The Brussels sprouts are not crispy at all which was quite a big disappointment considering they used to be very crispy and yummy. Regardless, amazing experience though :)

    Wonderful experience, very pretty and comfortable to sit outside, outstanding service from terrific waiter and supporting staff, love the sushi, the Kani salad, the saki selection, and I love that if I don’t want rice they will make my rolls “kani su” meaning with cucumber wrapped around instead of using rice…All around.. PERFECT! this is why we come for lunch and dinner a lot.. THANKS! See you next time!
