Makoto Restaurant

If you are looking for an authentic Japanese meal you need to try Makoto Restaurant on Macarthur Blvd in NW, DC. Last night my husband (Ryan) and I went on a double date to Makoto with Kyle (Ryan’s brother) and Lori (Kyle’s girlfriend) to celebrate Kyle’s 28th birthday. When we arrived to the restaurant, we were asked to take our shoes off and exchange them for slippers. We had to turn off our cell phones before entering the restaurant. Our server led us to the table where we stored our jackets under our seat in a small box. We ordered Sapporo and were served a 9 course meal over a period of 2 ½ hours. The food was fresh and our overall experience was extremely unique. The restaurant seats less than 30 people in a small, quiet atmosphere. Enjoy! ~Ali
