Service at Mako is excellent. We were stuck on a plane for 45 minutes and then traffic took about 2 hours to get from the airport to West Loop. Luckily we were only 6 min late and the staff was very accommodating and did not rush us to get drinks.

My husband and I came here for our anniversary yesterday and had a great experience. The service is top notch and the food quality is excellent. We had a reservation and were immediately seated without having to wait. Everything was extremely fresh and prepared right in front of us. The uni and temaki hand rolls were the best I’ve ever had – so creamy and flavorful. The black miso cod was also spectacular. At the end we received a copy of the night’s menu with signatures from the staff and “Happy Anniversary“ written at the top. Very thoughtful touch 🙂

Came here for the omakase dinner. The assortment of sushi was good, although nothing truly memorable and bites were particularly small (even for a tasting).

I had an amazing experience at Mako. The presentation and quality of everything I ate was out of this world. This restaurant truly deserves its Michelin Star. Our sommelier was so professionally and his enchanting descriptions put us right in the mood for a wonderfully evening. The ambience was incredible and I really enjoyed watching the chefs prepare each meal with great skill.The dishes I had here were some of the most beautiful dishes I have ever had. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family.

Mako owns its reputation as a Michelin star restaurant! The chef’s table offered both exquisite food and a phenomenal show by the chef. Each bit of food was a joy and appropriately combined flavor, texture and temperature. Each course was delicious and delicately prepared and then served with precision and expertise.

Spectacular meal here. The fish selection is wildly varied and all fresh and flavorful. I had multiple deeper experiences tasting a few of the bites and a straight up Anton ratatouille moment eating the dessert we were served. Staff was wonderful and attentive and the drink selections are well thought out and satisfying. We will 100% be back soon!

This was our first Michelin star restaurant experience. We went for our anniversary and were not disappointed in the least. The staff was kind and answered any questions that we had during the dinner. All of the fish cuts were tender and flavorful, the chef made some really thoughtful flavor combos to bring out the best qualities of the dishes. The entire experience was close to 2 hours long, I say experience because this was more than just a dinner. My only warning is that the bathroom is not labeled so be sure to ask the server which door is the correct one lol that and figuring out how the bathroom sink works.

Absolutely spectacular! I was in Chicago for two nights and had accidentally booked my reservation the day after I would be leaving. The lovely staff and head chef however were able to accommodate me and the food was spectacular. I strongly recommend the wine/sake pairing as well.
