Makoto Sushi & Grill

Great local sushi spot. The service is just about okay. It's a family run business so the server is usually a teenager. I'm all about supporting small local businesses. The food is pretty good. You can't go here on a busy night though and expect good customer service, so be mindful of that. Ask for the specialty rolls at the bar which is what we ordered as pictures below, and it was heavenly. Really really good, I think it was called the 3 tail roll or something like that. Their miso soup is usually a bit too salty so I wish they would change that a little bit. Other than that great place, good food.

5 years ago: When I invited my mum, to go to this Makoto Sushi I was extremely impressed. The rolls menu was filed up and I can honestly say eating tuna rolls was a great experience and would love to go back again. The atmosphere was great to talk in and eat. I ordered one of the Udon noddle soups, and boy was I impressed by the massive noddles, I enjoyed the poached egg it had, the crab. Also the miso soup was one of the best I have tried. I have had miso soup in many restaurants, and was hoping I could get more. but maybe next time. The green tea, was a great drink to also compliment the food. I also have to compliment on the sushi maker, Daniel, he was respectful to the guests and was great at what he did. Although some other women were flirting with him, he still kept his respect and did not flirt back. I indeed recommend going, if you don't mind a small wait on great food. Update: 2021 I am not pleased as much perhaps location or atmosphere just didn't help me enjoy. The service was well waitresses were tentative and refilled drinks regularly they brought over what was asked for. I'm a bit disappointed on our main entrees although may be good for someone who is a bit better with not a lot of flavored food then this is for you. The miso was still good enough salt and had the seaweed and tofu. Nice and hot. The pork cutlet dish I got was decent. Rice was well seasoned and I believe did have soy sauce already in it but it still looked white so it may have been another sauce. The pork cutlet though was difficult to eat as it was a bit tough. Yes I looked yummy before I tried cutting into it but oh well. The waitress had come after to even bring it up. I only asked how it was supposed to be but the waitress just said I should have brought up before. I never had the chance so I just asked for a to go box. I might just try to soften it at home instead. The Udon with beef "slices" soup was originally only tasting like beef and noodles were flavorless but it might be fine for someone into little to no salt. It did have a little bit of veggies such as a 2-3 broccoli pieces and 2-3 what we believe may have been sweet potatoes thin pieces at the bottom we didn't even know were in the Udon broth. Though I do recommend asking for soy sauce and adding to your preferred taste and maybe letting the Noddles soak a little bit longer to get the flavor. You can even do a little bit of spicy mayo with the beef pieces. This adds the kick. I enjoyed most their panko rolls today. We did the regular Panko Rolls and it tasted amazing. The california roll was fine but not what I expected from previous experience. I would maybe recommend trying other rolls instead of the regular california roll. Might have a better outcome. I might have just been a little unlucky this time as not everything was great but I don't want to say not to go. I do recommend trying and giving it a try. My first time at the original location close to target was amazing but the second time wasn't. You might be lucky and it be great each time. We meet the previous owner but I don't know if its the same any more since they are a combined restaurant it seems.

I really enjoyed this place. The sushi is fresh n it has a good variety of rolls. Check it out if u r looking for a good meal.

Definitely my favorite sushi place in EP! Danny, the chef, asked if he could make me something and I love surprises so I said go for it! He did not disappoint!

This place is amazing. Danny makes incredibly delicious sushi. He takes his food very seriously, and works hard to creatively combine ingedients and flavors that will blow your taste buds away. It's food art, really! If you want the full experience, call ahead to reserve a space at the bar. It's a little pricey, but well worth it.
