Makoto Japanese Restaurant in Phillipsburg

There was a time when this was a very nice place to go. That time has come and gone.

The food is consistently fresh and delightful, cashiers hands out fantastic customer service. I really like the cleanliness and ambience. Will visit here again.

Best Hibachi, my grandson loved his birthday dinner!

Good food but nothing extraordinary. Prices were a bit on the high side.

Very good food and service. Not to mention the excitement and interaction with the customer's while cooking.

You can't go wrong with dinning here.

The staff was very professional, courteous and attentive to our needs. I was impressed by how one of the waitresses saw my nephew struggle to eat his rice with a fork and gave him a spoon. The cook Joe was incredible and the food was scrumptious

I told my friends about this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The meals are yummy and the team is attentive and cooperative. Whenever we go to this place we pass a pleasant evening. I warmly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious. We had hibachi and the show was great. We were able to substitute items. What a great experience for my Dad's birthday.

Terrible. Service and food have been on the downward slide for too long. Never going back.

Good food. Staff is very friendly.

We enjoy Makoto...it seems to be a hidden gem! Tucked back behind KFC, the restaurant is never busy. However, the food is great and the chef's are entertaining! It's a little sterile in its decor, but you know its clean! And the waitstaff is attentive. Go with a group and enjoy the hibachi!

Would surely recommend visiting this place. Great mood, delightful food, great service. Kudos.

2 hour wait for dinner with a reservation. Overly salted food. When I asked for the manager on duty or person in charge no one seemed to know who that person was. When I pushed to speak to someone & expressed my disappointment in my experience I received a small discount. I will never return here.

I celebrated my PhD this evening in this delicious restaurant. happy to tell that it was a fantastic evening and the place was definitely the reason for the strong gathering. The waiters contributed in a gorgeous manner, the cuisine was delicious and my buddies were extremely pleased. We shall absolutely return for more joyful events. thanks very much.

Always go for hibachi! Entertaining is great, food is delicious and atmosphere is lovely!

We enjoy the food here but the service leaves a lot to be desired. Too often we have waited for our salad and soup dishes to be cleared and had to ask for someone to take them so we could eat our hibachi and we have a difficult time getting drinks refilled. We do enjoy the food so we often take advantage of the takeout.

Always good food. You get a lot of food for the price.

Great food. Great show put on by chef. Easy 5 stars

Good food, shared a table with fun people. The atmosphere/decor could use a refresh.

Very good sushi, best I have had in the northeast

We always enjoy a good meal at this hibachi restaurant. The meal includes a soup with salad. The salad has an orange dressing which is very good and the soup has a pepper flavor to it which is very good too. The food is cooked in front of you with a very small performance in comparison to other hibachi restaurants we visit. We ordered the hibachi filet mignon and chicken combo, the shrimp hibachi and the chicken hibachi. We celebrated a birthday which used to include playing of music and banging on drums hung in a wall but this time just the waitress sang. The staff is very friendly and this location always has quick seating with good service.

Yums and funs!
