    We tried the buffet. Some food remained empty while we were there. Food quality reminded me of a free sample chicken on a toothpick that they pass out in the mall foodcourt. Food on the buffet line was cold and unattended. Shrimp tom yum soup had ZERO shrimp. I just hated everything about this restaurant. Cheap furniture, bad service and unattended buffet line. You can tell they are cutting corners in every way possible. Cheap ingredients and badly executed food. It’s one of those places where people go once and never return.

    The food and ambiance were great. Our waiter was a little slow as he was bartending and serving tables but was nice overall. Would go back again the next time I’m here.

    I had a fantastic dining experience at Makiin! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for the evening. While the food was delicious—each dish thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients and rich flavors—the real standout of the night was our waitress, Kiera. Kiera provided exceptional service throughout our meal. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and offered great recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes. Her friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm made our experience even more enjoyable. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, ensuring that everything from drinks to timing between courses was seamless.

    My friend and I were enchanted by everything in this elegant restaurant. We had the Thai High Tea and loved every delicious bite served so graciously in the most beautiful antique Thai teapots and cups. And the price was so reasonable. Loved everything about this restaurant and can’t wait to go back for lunch and dinner.

    I love Thai food! Makiin takes everything we had to a finer level. The Karne Blue Gem cocktail, a spin on a butterfly pea infused gin & and tonic, was a great way to start a private birthday dinner. The delicious concoction was served in a diamond shaped glass and sipped through a golden straw. Our Silken Calamari Soiree share bite with cured egg yolk puree was plenty to share and such a taste treat. The Five Spice Pork Belly with Thai boiled egg could have been my protein for the evening. It was a wonderful pop of flavor and, again, plenty to share. We almost decided to stop eating after those two, but just had to continue. The Pumpkin Chicken Curry tasted like world peace in a dish. Its warm, earthy flavor was a beautiful combination of comforting and exciting. The Purple Jasmine Rice was a great accompaniment. The Drunken Beef Noodles had a delicious bold flavor. Hidden green peppercorns gave great occasional warm surprises. Dessert anyone? While we saw several diners enjoying beautiful desserts around us, our bellies were just too full. We will definitely save room for dessert next time! Service was friendly and prompt. Dinner came out in a timely manner and eas spot on every time.

    A beautiful restaurant with good service and food. Very 'present-y' presentation--so almost made for Instagram. Would be good for group dinners or fun night out.
