Washingtonian magazine has named Makoto one of the area's 100 Very Best Restaurants.
From Tom Sietsema, The Washington Post (three stars):
"Tradition — and excellence — reign at this intimate Japanese restaurant. ... To catch the best show, request a place at the wooden counter — so close to the open kitchen that you feel the heat of the flames every time the chef adds a splash of alcohol to a pan — and order the eight- to 10-course tasting menu."
Beer, wine and sake available. Serving lunch Tue–Sat, dinner Tue–Sun. Closed Mon.
"Makoto is one of those unique Japanese restaurants where the food is so sophisticated and elegant that you may be tempted to frame it as wall art."
