We came for my husbands birthday and had the best experience of all the restaurants we tried in vail. Edgardo was our server and he provided the cherry on top for our dinner. He was knowledgeable about the menu as well as witty and personable. The food was amazing and would recommend this restaurant to anyone considering it!

Softshell & rainbow maki, chicken dumplings, and rock shrimp were phenomenal. This location truly delivers on food quality and service. Eddie and Rodrigo were both incredibly accommodating, professional, and helpful! It's a bit pricey, but rest assured that they WILL deliver on quality and it'll be worth every penny. Highly recommend!!!

We ate at Makoto Vail 3 times during our stay at the Grand Hyatt. What a wonderful restaurant. The seafood was surprisingly fresh (given we are nowhere near the sea), the dinner for New Years was a set menu and absolutely delicious. The other time we ate there, my kids ate a very late lunch there and just stayed throughout dinner. They were very good about it. By the way, the Dynamite hand roll is DELICIOUS !!! I think we ordered 8 of them the 3rd time we ate there :) Where ever we decide to stay in Vail next time, we will definitely want to include Makoto in plans.

5 Stars - An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Makoto Sushi. Our dinner at Makoto Sushi was an absolute treat. The braised beef noodles were a standout dish, with their deep flavors and tender meat. The sushi was top-notch, featuring some of the freshest fish we’ve ever tasted. We were also blown away by the Wagyu beef selection, which was incredibly succulent. . Kira, our server, was exceptional, making our meal even more enjoyable with her attentive service and spot-on recommendations. If you’re in Vail, Makoto Sushi at the Grand Hyatt is a must-visit for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!

The sashimi is fresh and worth the price. Wagyu beef hot stone is our number one choice. Service from Hirohito is outstanding, beyond expectation. Desert is also amazing. The flaming one is a must order. We enjoy a wonderful family gathering dinner here!

Sat at the bar. Vince Javier and David took care of me. They all had great suggestions and I left full and satisfied. The food is absolutely amazing. I was suggested the truffle salmon, crispy tuna, and chicken dumplings. I will be coming back next time I’m in town!
