"We have dined at this restaurant multiple times, and each time we believe it can't possibly get any better than the last. We are always proven wrong. This hidden gem in Draper is truly the best restaurant in Utah. I celebrated my birthday here tonight. We were seated outside, which was a first for us, and from the moment we arrived until we left, everything was absolutely perfect. The outdoor setting was stunning, with beautiful ambience and vibes. The sunset over the mountains, the lights twinkling in the trees, and the overall decor outside were lovely. The food was beyond words. The ribeye had a special rub that was incredibly delicious, paired perfectly with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and chimichurri sauce. It was an unforgettable dining experience. My partner enjoyed the filet mignon with green beans as well. The seasonal drinks were exceptional. I indulged in two watermelon mojitos, while my partner savored the Borne of Fire Cabernet and the espresso martini. The drinks were expertly crafted. The bartender deserved high praise, especially for the watermelon mojitos, which I believe were the best drink I have ever had. The appetizers (salad and corn chowder) were delightful, and the desserts (chocolate mousse with mandarin oranges and creme brulee) were full of flavor. Our waiter was extremely kind, helpful, and attentive. It was truly the most incredible meal we have ever had, and I am already looking forward to coming back. The watermelon drink paired perfectly with the ribeye, making for a quintessentially summery meal. What could be more perfect than steak and watermelon in the summer?"

"POSITIVES: Don 't let the name fool you, this place is chock full of options besides sushi. Whether it 's curry, rice, noodles, teriyaki chicken, a bento box, or a variety of ramen, this place offers lots of satisfying options. The appetizers are equally tempting : edamame, calamari, gyoza, takoyaki, etc. As far as sushi goes, this place nails it with a blend of great flavor and awesome presentation. I ordered the colorful Playboy roll (fried shrimp, salmon, tobiko--tiny fish eggs, and jalapeño and the Phoenix roll (tempura shrimp, eel, avocado, salmon, jalapeño, green onion, sesame seeds, teriyaki sauce, and spicy mayo. . This roll was unlike anything if ever been presented with at a sushi restaurant...trust me, it is very exciting and worth every penny. The Japanese decor and theme is very friendly and inviting. The waitress was extremely polite and knowledgeable. Also, the mochi ice cream is fabulous, and you can 't go wrong with it. NEGATIVES: the menu was covered in grease from someone fingers... Not sure if the material just attracts grease really easily or something... Also, there was a BOGO 50% off for all sushi rolls... I only ordered 2 rolls myself (one was $15ish, the other would have been about $7 with the offer , and I somehow still walked out paying $30, aside from tip. Still not terrible, but not what I had expected. PRICE: expect to pay $15-30 per person depending on how much food you get. VERDICT: it was a fun experience, and I 'm definitely curious about some of the other sushi rolls (and curry! It 's love to come back, but given the price, I may have to wait until my work takes us out so it 's on their dime."

"Makanmakan seems to follow this pattern. While the food was edible, it was ultimately forgettable. I ordered a clear noodle dish with jumbo prawns (which were sparse) and smoked pork, but it arrived as a mushy mix rather than a distinct combination of noodles, vegetables, and meat. The steamed rice, which is always a good indicator of a restaurant's quality, was disappointing and mushy—reminiscent of Denny's rather than authentic, high-quality sticky rice that they should be serving. It seems that they are cutting corners, likely to save money, as sticky rice would require a greater investment. While the food was satisfactory, it didn’t leave a lasting impression. Truly excellent meals create memories that make you eager to return, and Makanmakan falls short of this standard. The atmosphere, with its noisy concrete floors, didn’t help either, though I must commend the service, which was attentive and commendable. However, I doubt I will return in the future."

"We had our order of 4 rolls out in less then 15 minutes on a Monday around 4pm . The rolls were delicious and full of flavor. I had a Mango roll and the dynamite roll. The rice was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of stickiness to it. The staff was attentive a d friendly. The soda machine was out of service but I understand that happens some things are out of people's control. The store was extremely clean and had a fresh smell. The prices were about average for the type of food."

"The good: Clean Nice staff Lettuce was fresh The bad: If I wanted a salad kit I would have gone to the grocery store. The Caesar considered of lettuce, POWDERED parmesan cheese, croutons in a baggie, side of dressing. This was not to-go so I expected a salad more on par with zupa-ish type places. Not even close. It also made me very sick so that doesn't make me feel any better about the experience overall."
