"After spending some time in Bal Harbour in late June, I’ve found Makoto to be a staple when it comes to dining at Bal Harbour Shops. During my first visit, I was able to enjoy dinner service at about 9pm. Pictured is the usagi (similar to a pisco sour), tuna crispy rice (the house specialty), rock shrimp, spicy edamame, Japanese eggplant, shishito peppers, lychee and Mochi. Everything was absolutely delicious. Favorites were reordered (rock shrimp, tuna crispy rice and shishito peppers). That’s not to say the other plates weren’t good but these three were just that good. Drinks were all consistent as well. I switched over to a spicy pineapple margarita while my guests kept with the spicy margarita option that stayed super tasty and always refilled after meeting our server, Anthony. He was super friendly and attentive throughout our entire stay. So much that we can back a few days later for lunch and was hosted my Maddie. She is such a delight and was also super friendly and welcoming while eating at the bar. The last two photos are the sushi bar options (chu-toro, king Salmon, tamago and a spicy yellowtail roll). The sushi was incredibly fresh and worth the visit. Hopeful to visit in the future very soon! Make sure you make reservations if you can because there can be quite a wait if not. Overall, Makoto is definitely my new favorite."
