We love smack noodles and now that Makiin is in town we get to enjoy double the pleasure and cuisine in Maynard. Natt and the chef and staff are awesome and as usual- always kind and accommodating. My son loves to dine out and he gave this restaurant five stars. The atmosphere was spacious, clean and has a nice decorative decor. The service was amazing as usual- Natt is one of my fav ppl in MA! I love Kra Pao, so I love how they turned up the heat on my dish and the flavor from the dish was just perfect- the spice and culmination of the vegetables and protein was in perfect harmony with each other. We also got Mai Tais, which was perfect. The Japanese chicken and peanut sauce was divine, and my son ate all of his chicken rice plate - which is unusual as he typically is a picky eater. Overall- we highly recommend Makiin for anyone who likes Asian dishes with a bit of fire and soul mixed in between :) On a side note- they can adjust the level of hotness and make it...

Portion sizes are generous! Chicken on both dishes was so tender. We’d love to come back and try more. I hope they do well and get lots of...
Read moreI ordered online and picked up right as the restaurant opened. I ordered the Sen Lek Kii Mao and the Spicy Chicken Gyoza. I also sampled (from my companion's order) Roti Peanut Curry. The food was excellent. It was spicy and flavorful and the portions were perfect. The Roti Peanut Curry is like Asian Fusion Nachos. If you like peanut sauce, this is really worth trying, it is so good.
I had the grilled pork on my Kii Mao and it was really, really tasty. If you like Gyoza, these are also excellent. I was so glad to finally try this place. It is definitely a must try if you like Asian fusion and are...
