"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 equallytempting : edamame, calamari, gyoza, takoyaki, etc. As far as sushi goes, this place nails it with a blend of great flavor andawesome presentation. I ordered the colorful Playboy roll (fried shrimp, salmon, tobiko--tiny fish eggs, and jalapeño andthe Phoenix roll (tempura shrimp, eel, avocado, salmon, jalapeño, green onion, sesame seeds, teriyaki sauce, and spicymayo. . This roll was unlike anything if ever been presented with at a sushi restaurant...trust me, it is very exciting andworth every penny. The Japanese decor and theme is very friendly and inviting. The waitress was extremely polite andknowledgeable. Also, the mochi ice cream is fabulous, and you can 't go wrong with it. NEGATIVES: the menu was covered ingrease from someone fingers... Not sure if the material just attracts grease really easily or something... Also, there was aBOGO 50% off for all sushi rolls... I only ordered 2 rolls myself (one was $15ish, the other would have been about $7 with theoffer , 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 definitelycurious about some of the other sushi rolls (and curry! It 's love to come back, but given the price, I may have to wait untilmy 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 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."
