Makoto's Japanese Steakhouse - Boone, NC

Makoto's Japanese Steakhouse has been a staple in Boone, NC, since 1981.
The chefs prepare your food and twirl their utensils right in front of you.
It is a very neat dining experience.

    I have never eaten at a place like that where they prepare the food right in front of you and serve it to you right off the grill. After watching your video this is a bucket list item for me now. The food looked great and the friendly people working there made it even better. I hope you have a great weekend.

    We always enjoy a Japanese Steakhouse. It's fun having the food cooked right in front of you (much better than going to Subway!). We always enjoy the tricks and jokes too. Looks like this was an excellent value and really nice people working here. Thanks for sharing!

    We just love Makotos , one of our favorites. Don’t get there often enough. So glad you got to go. They do give generous portions. We have been watching all your recent videos of the restaurants at the beach, your trip to Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock and the cute motel there. Those are some of our favorite areas to visit. Happy Mother’s Day. God Bless you both. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

    Wish I could drag Ginger into a Japenese Steakhouse ,lol ! Its just not her thing. I've always loved to watch them prepare the eats! . I'm surprised the chef didn't do a volcano onion? By the way when I make the sweet or as they call it candied carrots, I use a combination of butter , brown sugar and honey . I'll send yall the recipe. Great video as always!

    Derrick, ive tried to leave you a comment on this video and the last one as well. But youtube keeps removing them. It was about where you can do trivia on youre favorite TV show. They just removed a word from this comment. Ill try spacing and see if that works. I used May and Berry together. But that word was removed.

    I have no idea why that would be happening. I have set KZread to not allow comments containing certain words, but those are all vulgar or cuss words. And honestly, sometimes it holds comments for review, that don't contain anything wrong. I don't know why it would remove something with Mayberry in it. That's ridiculous. I'm sorry that's happening. I'll go and look at the ones that are held for review, to see if they are in there.

    @islandluvr007 Now, let me go ahead and help you understand something else, since you obviously never grew up, you aren't very bright, and you don't know how to act because your parents obviously never taught you the difference between right and wrong... You can make your little snarky comments on videos like this, but one thing you will not do, and we will not allow you to do, is to come and insult my wife and her brother on a beautiful video about their reunion. This man went through a lot of pain growing up, and you want to come on there and be insulting? And you think we're going to allow you to do that? Did you notice that nobody else but you, made a negative comment? You're the only one. That shows that most of the other people are nice and kind individuals, and you are not a very good person at all. You're a coward who hides behind a profile and won't even show your face, yet you want to come on here and insult others. You need to grow up. I mean, calling people "fatty"? How kindergarten level is that? Now, you can leave this channel, or I'll kick you off. Your choice.
