About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining

  • Lively
In case you haven’t heard, Makoto has moved to an awesome new space on the 3rd floor. Re-envisioned by Paris-based designer India Mahdavi, it’s a bold new look which will take your dining experience to a whole new level. Bright colors and cozy banquettes. More outdoor dining. More seats at the sushi counter. And of course, the food and drink will be as fabulous as ever.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Makoto Okuwa ushers Japanese cuisine into the 21st century at his eponymous eatery, located on the 3rd floor of the luxurious Bal Harbour Shops. One of Miami’s most accomplished chefs, Okuwa, a master of Edomae-style sushi, reshapes tradition for a savvy audience eager for something new. Those looking for the perfect spot for a romantic date, a lunch with friends or to celebrate a special occasion, will delight in this remarkable cuisine immersed in a stunning setting created by internationally renowned designer, India Mahdavi.

    Great experience, the food tasted great - I absolutely loved the Okinawan Tres Leches and the Dry Aged Ny Strip was superb. The service was 5 stars, the server was very attentive and would check up regularly. I am definitely returning soon. Thank you

    Food was good and so was the service. The dessert selection is boring and never changes. Overall, it is a good place to dine.
