We loved Maketto! We’re big fans of the ordering from phone system and our waiter was super attentive and super nice. The host was also amazing. We ordered a bunch of food and had so much leftover. Super yummy! The spicy beef with rice was a favorite of many. We had our three kids with us (15, 12, 9) and they were entertained by the records, VHS tapes, and vintage toys. The host talked to us when we were done eating and was very attentive to the kids. Overall great experience!!
Delicious! It is a bit further away from the central businesses, but we are so glad to have tried it. Very unique flavors and a very novel fusion of Asian foods. They also make good chai tea! I had my doubts when trying businesses that offer a wide variety of food and drinks that are often specialized, but they are very good.
Maketto was really interesting, I think the overall decor left me wondering where I was, but the food kept me around for sure. You’re asked to order on your phone and close out your tab there as well. Servers run all the food from the kitchen across the way into the restaurant. We had the cauliflower, the wings, and the Cambodian inspired salad, which were all delicious. I was amazed by the flavors and plating of the foods. I really enjoyed this place with the decor aside!
The service is great, quick, once you work the app properly. The tea was delicious, great selection too. The best app was the pancake, super unique esp with the sourdough. The Yu Choy also a unique dish, nice bitterness to the salt/sauce. Really cool spot, awesome decor and just get the chicken...
Still one of the better dining experiences in DC. Fried chicken is legendary, but everything is good here. Some really solid regional specialties. Also such a versatile space. Coffee shop, store, restaurant. Their fare system also should be emulated by everyone, with the ability to scan into a tab and split meals individually with people at the table.
We got the pork bao which was amazing and the Cambodian pho. One small and a medium plate was enough to fill us both! Their drinks looked really pretty too.
The food was great and authentic. I really enjoyed the ambiance too. The only recommendation to the staff is that: if someone is wants to dine in alone, you don’t have to multiple times ask her whether she is waiting for someone. It’s normal to dine in alone.
Good food. Not amazing, but good. The meat in the beef rice bowl was the same as the meat under the Gruyere, but everything else was delicious. Weird experience ordering and paying via QR code, which I didn't like.
Food is one of a kind, combining the very best in flavors of Cambodian and Taiwanese cuisines.While everything on the menu is thoroughly satisfying, favorites include crystal shrimp dumplings, spicy cauliflower, Cambodian pho and Maketto fried chicken. Come in a party of more than 2 to try more dishes!A unique oasis combining restaurant, coffee shop, bar, vinyl store, and clothier. Refined and subdued interior. A must-see for folks visiting from out of town.
When my family and I visited Washington DC earlier, we couldn’t wait to eat at Maketto again. The outdoor was well decorated and spaced out.We ordered crystal shrimp dumplings, spring rolls, bone marrow laab, crispy chicken wings and duck noodle soup. Every thing was delicious particularly the duck noodle soup and crispy chicken wings. The portion of the duck noodle soup was large and the duck was crispy. All the ingredients were fresh and high quality.Friendly staff! A must in DC!
