    What makes it fun

    Makiin is a sultry spot for a romantic date, blending modern Asian elegance with a touch of whimsy. With dim lighting, plush velvet seating, and a stylish vibe, Makiin sets the stage for sparks to fly. The menu is a masterpiece, featuring delicacies like curries, pad Thai, Thai street noodles, and more. Save some room for dessert, the Dessert Wonderland is almost too pretty to eat but after your first bite you won't be able to stop.

    My date and I came to Makiin on a Saturday evening for dinner, and it was a wonderful experience.

    I started with a cocktail that had lychee at the bottom of the drink. It was delicious. Our waitress brought out pomelo refreshment before any of our food arrived.

    We had the appetizer symphony, which are chef selected mixed bites. Each bite-sized appetizer was different in flavor and texture from the next. We also ordered the creamy thai comfort, which is their tom kha. The soup was fragrant.

    For entrees, we had the antique charm fried rice and the salmon royale. The fried rice was great. the salmon was well seasoned and the curry was very rich. The only hiccup was that the salmon arrived undercooked in the middle, but both our waitress and the manager took measures to alleviate this.

    For desserts, we had the coconut ice cream fantasy and zesty mango sticky rice. Both desserts were light, sweet, and refreshing. We would come back again!

    My partner took me here for birthday. Upon our arrival we did have a little trouble actually finding the place so we needed up calling and they gave us perfect instructions which led us right to the restaurant! We did place a reservation but around the time we went it was not very busy. But reservations are always encouraged so usually we try to make them. We put on the reservation that it was for my birthday so they gave us a really cute little letter board that said “happy birthday”. The place was very cute and had a calm ambiance. It was very quiet which I am not to used to. There was some background music which helped with that though. Our server was a polite young woman who was very attentive with our needs. Especially when we had questions or needed recommendations. The buzzer also was super quick when it came to empty plates and water refills. The appetizer was called Pangang Dumpling which were very crispy and yummy. For entree my partner got The Drunken Adventure and I got the Noodle Magic. Both portions were super big and scrumptious. I asked for some hot sauce because I love spice and our server promptly delivered a hot sauce flight! We also had noticed they served tea so I decided to get some of the yuzu green tea which was delivered with some honey! Since it was my birthday I got a complimentary ice cream which we split. It was a watermelon sorbet. 10/10 would eat here over and over again!

    This was by far one of the most unique and beautiful restaurants I have been to. The decor was moody, yet vibrant. The staff were very courteous and explained what every meal consisted of. The food was amazing! I ordered the garlic chicken with the jasmine rice as my entree which had a great flavor profile and textures. I also order the crab rangoons, which were the best ones I have EVER had. The chef also prepared a palate cleanser which was something I have never experienced before. The different textures and flavors in that small bite were so refreshing and unexpected! Highly recommend trying this place!

    For about $75.00 per person, we shared an array of appetizers, entrees, deserts, and drinks. Overall, the food tasted great, with notable presentation.

    I ordered the Garden Bowl Elegance. It had very fresh vegetables and tofu, with a crispy tofu skin to balance the texture. The oyster sauce was a rich, savory addition to the flavor. It came with a side of Jasmine rice that was warm and well cooked.

    The chocolate tree was beautiful in presentation but somewhat disappointing in flavor. It was literally cotton candy and chocolate, and the quality wasn't too notable either. I thought it might be better with some sort of cake, crispy rice, gnache, or wafer filling to at least make the chocolate portion stand out. The cotton candy could also come in maybe 2 or 3 parts, so sharing it is not as messy.

    The ambience was nice, giving off an elegant Thai and club vibe. The staff was very pleasant and attentive to our table.

    Overall, great presentation, great food, great environment, but the chocolate tree could do better.

    This restaurant is immaculate and beautiful. The decor is very classy and elegant. We were here to celebrate a birthday and they had a happy birthday sign on the table. The drinks were so good. The mango cocktail was spicy and smooth. The mussels were to die for. These are the best mussels I’ve ever had. The calamari was very crispy and yummy. The Pad Thai was also very good. The sizzling northern adventure was rich and delicious as well. I didn’t love the flavorful drunken adventure. It was kind of dry and lacked flavor. The service was impeccable and very friendly. The live music was a nice touch as well. It was great and not too loud. We didn’t have room for dessert but would love to come back to try more dishes.
