   Overall vibe is nice. Service very attentive. Appetizers came very quickly almost too quickly. The Brussels sprouts are good but menu description is misleading - there is no kimchi (menu says “kimchee”). Wagyu dumplings are good. We had the 12 piece sushi sampler. Everything was great except the mackerel.

   Delicious food, went twice during our visit to vail. First time the food all came out in 30 minutes and we ate super quick. The second time the food came out more spaced which was nice as we got to enjoy the restaurant and conversation. Food was delicious both times

   A noisy dining area full of loud drunk men. The worst version of Japanese food. Fish not fresh. Give this restaurant a miss!!

   "Fishy" tuna. They ran out of Sapporo beer. Caterpillar roll was average. Crab hand rolls small for the price. Loved it last year so it was disappointing.

   Reservamos en el Restaurant y nos sentaron en el bar, ordenamos algunos tragos y la segunda ronda no los trajeron, la Comida no esta al nivel de otros Makotos y salia muy tardia entre un plato y otro!

   The food was great, the service was great, the noise level was a little loud, and the room facing the river was a little chilly. But overall, it was a good night.
