| - My family and I used to frequent the Makino in the Premium Outlet Mall on Charleston a looong time ago. We stopped going mainly because it was just too expensive. Recently, my dad decided to give this place a try and we fell in love with it all over again.
Don't come in here with great expectations because I guarantee you that it will lead to just disappointment. Come to Makino without any expectations at all just like I did, haha!
The overall restaurant is kind of cramped. It's smaller compared to the one that they had at Premium. So that was a big thumbs down for me.
Service: They're okay. Some of the servers have a resting b!tch face. They just come to refill your drinks and take your food away. I'm probably really picky, but I like having servers who'll actually say "excuse me" while taking your food or I don't know.. People who'll actually smile?
Food: There's a lot to choose from here. They have a lot of different kind of rolls and nigiri. If you come for dinner, they serve oysters, crab legs, amaebi (sweet shrimp) nigiri, and sashimi! They also have shrimp tempura, udon, seaweed salad, etc. I personally love the food selections here because they don't have a limit to amaebi nigiri. You can have as much as you want. And you can't find unlimited sashimi at an AYCE sushi restaurant.
Price: Their dinner price here is comparable to AYCE sushi places in town (around $27).
Personally, I find it worth every penny. You don't have to wait for the server to take your order, and you don't have to wait for your sushi rolls to come to your table. You can just get up and take ONE piece of roll that looks appetizing before getting more pieces. No more ordering half rolls or full rolls. And btw, they don't charge extra for leftovers ;)
