    One of the best spots in Houston! The food was amazing, the service was prompt, and the staff were incredibly professional. It was both my husband's and my birthday, and we had a truly wonderful evening!

    Came here on a date, and I honestly and truthfully we will probably not come back. Granted we were a bit late as there was no parking but when we came into the restaurant we stood at the hostess booth for 5-10 minutes before someone acknowledged us. Server even passed us up without saying anything…so disrespectful. The food…it was very bland and my boyfriend ate his crispy garlic chicken because he was hungry but he didn’t care for it. It wasn’t crispy and was a bit on the soggy side. I ordered the seafood dish with vermicelli noodles and it was flavorless. On top of that the server barely came to our table to check on us, or even ask us if we liked the food. I really was excited to try this place, but they dropped the ball. Definitely do not recommend and will not be returning.

    Hi Ja'Nae, this is Lukkaew owner of MaKiin. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is valuable feedback that will help us get better and ensuring our food and service remain consistence to our standard. I can assure that this is not the normal service at MaKiin and I can understand how frustrate it is if no one welcoming you at the door. We are short of Hostess that night but I am working on the way to ensure this is not happen again if same situation happen in future. The two dishes you were mentioning, is very popular! I would love you have you both come back again and give us a chance to make it right. Perhaps second date night! I promise we will not do everything to make you have great experience!
