Makoto Sushi — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I usually, don't write reviews unless something is extreme.(good or bad) but this was not the case. I read some reviews and 1 said best sushi on Ventura blvd. So we went for our 1st time, definitely not close to best sushi on the blvd. We had an assortment of items, so good overview. None bad. But just ok. They had a Salmon Poke special that would have been really good. But the carrots they put in were pickled, so it kinda ruined it. The other thing I found odd is they have cafeteria style trays at sushi bar seating and they bring you food and set it on them for you to eat off, which makes it feel cheap. Must be for fast clean up I guess. The last was I wanted some Sriracha, small amount for Poke, and I was charged for it when check came. Anyway. Not a bad place, just very mediocre in my opinion. Oh and roll selection needs some reworking as well not too interesting. Really didn't want to write this as its a small local biz, which i like to support, but it was definitely a let down and we were really in mood for sushi! Hope this helps someone when you're...

Food is decent but it was clear they weren't ready for the allowed increased capacity. Only saw 2 servers and 2 sushi chefs but they were seating every table. Today I ordered simple dishes for take out, salmon sushi, ikura and spicy tuna. When I called I was told 20-25 min. I came after 20min and was told another 15min. 10min sitting there waiting and they still haven't started my order as I overheard the waitress asking the chefs. Then waited 14min more. People kept coming in and weren't being seated. Tables weren't being cleared. No sign in sheet. A customer had to ask to sign his name and the waitress just pulled out a menu for him to sign on the back. All in all I placed my order at 6:56pm and didn't get it until 7:40. I still tipped over 20%... oh and they didn't even pack me any soy sauce on top of all

Don't seat customers at full capacity when you don't have the staff to cover them all. There's a reason restaurants close off sections when they don't have the staff for it. The wait staff gets overworked and customers get...

I was there last week and I had a terrible experience with the server. One of their female waitress looks like in her 40s with dark skin was extremely rude. When she puts down a plate of spicy tuna I made a joke asking her "why is it so small?" Her respond was "the owner is stingy" My family and I was surprise what her answer.

We also noticed the look of her face that she doesn't seem to be happy and when she serveus again. My brother asked her is she all right? And she told him that she's not happy working here because the owner doesn't treat her fairly and told us that she wouldn't eat here after seeing how things are. After her two negative answers we decided to just not talk to her anymore.

I honestly feel like this waitress needs to be fired because she is very rude and unprofessional and most importantly she isn't showing the appreciation of having a job especially her English isn't...
