"When walking in the hostess didn't even look up from her ipad to greet us, it felt like we were inconveniencing her just by being there. The table we sat at felt crowded and my chair was right over the air vent, so every time the heater kicked on it was freezing for seconds then melting hot until it shut off. The window we sat next to didn't look like it had been washed in months. Our server took a while to get to us, even though it wasn't crowded and was hardly there during the meal to get anything we needed. Just didn't feel like they really wanted us there. The food was average, I was expecting at least a dinner salad for the price we paid, but no luck there. The food was definitely under seasoned, but when using the salt and pepper provided at the table it was better. The meat wasn't as tender as I am used to prime meat being, so maybe it wasn't prime? but again for the price it should have been or at least I expected it to be without having to ask. The desserts, were again, just ok. Nothing really stood out as this being a return restaurant to me."

"positive: do not let the name fool them, this place is a baptismal option next to sushi. whether curry, rice, noodles, teriyaki chicken, bento box or a many number of rarmen, this place offers many satisfying options. the appetizers are also tempting: edamame, calamari, gyoza, takoyaki, etc. as far as sushi goes, this place nails it with a mixture of great taste and fantastic presentation. I ordered the colorful playboy roll (fritten garnelen, lachs, Tobiko-Tiny fish eggs, and jalapeño and the Phoenix roll (tempura garnelen, eel, avocado, lachs, jalapeño, green wobbles, sesame, teriyaki sauce and spicy mayo. trust me, it's very exciting and worth every penny. the Japanese decor and thema is very friendly and welcoming. the waitress was extremely polite and knowledgeable. also the mochi ice is fabulous, and they can't go wrong with it. negative: the menu was covered by a finger with fat. Not sure whether the material simply attracts fat or so. also there was a bogo 50% discount for all sushi rolls. I ordered only 2 rolls themselves (one was $15ish, the other would have been about $7 with the offer, and I somehow still went out to pay $30, apart from top. Not terrible yet, but not what I expected. price: they expect to pay $15-30 per person, depending on how much they get. verdict: it was a fun experience, and I am definitely curious about some of the other sushi roles (and curry! it is the love to come back, but given the price, I may have to wait until my work pulls us out so that it is on her dig."

"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 food was fantastic! Although it took a bit of time to prepare, it's clear they use high-quality ingredients, so we didn’t mind the wait for freshly made dishes. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Sandwich, and it was incredibly flavorful. I requested ketchup, and they provided us with organic ketchup (just a note: ketchup is generally a processed food, but "organic" means they don’t use corn or high fructose corn syrup). You can tell they stand by their commitment to quality when even their condiments are organic. I would definitely return to sample more of their menu options."
