Tasty food. Decent service. Restaurant was busy on a Friday evening. We enjoyed the meal but it was not exceptional. Some of the dishes lacked a bit of vibrancy.

Delicious food, but a bit on a smaller portions for the price. Good service. Would like if there was some nice background music for better atmosphere.

Food are all very delicious. Sashimi are very fresh and loving the Machi tacos! Unagi is very yummy and we wanted to have the unagi don however they ran out. Will be back next time again for sure!

Great food and wonderful service. Absolutely loved the tacos and the BBQ Wagyu beef, flavours were fantastic with rustic presentation with a modern twist. Service could've been faster

The service was nervous from the start, out wait person so obviously new. We had a problem with a wobbly table so we were moved. Then, the table we moved to was wobbly too - the foot had fallen off. My partner fixed that. The remainder of the night went well after a bumpy start. You could feel it.

Could probably sum up our dining experience with... Fresh. So very very fresh. Tastes were well balanced and the presentation was appetizing. Perhaps a little too much rice on the sushi, but I can live with that. Platter had good flavours but lacked that "oomph" we got from all the other dishes.

Fantastic seafood platter and choice of dishes you would not expect from a 'standard' Japanese restaurant! The tacos are also definitely worth checking out and the cocktails go great!

Where to start! The staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful and the food was out of this world. From the presentation to the flavors - just WOW! Every dish was a flavor and culinary delight. I wanted to go back the next night.

Their staffs are friendly. All dishes were so good but just way too expensive and too small in portion. End up paying $235 for two.

Staff is not enough to help every customer though I think they already tired their best. I waited for 10 min for just soy sauce.

Food was great. Staff tend to look at you and acknowledge you, you think you have their attention then they just walk past you and you don’t get service. Sometimes staff said I will be right back but then not return for 10+ minutes.

Machi is our favourite Japanese restaurant. The food varies from good to great and the service is usually friendly and efficient. Last night wasn't the most polished but we will still keep coming back.

Good food and service. Very friendly staff. Sushi was fresh and everything tasted delicious. The only negative was the price. It was a little bit expensive for the serving sizes.

We have been many times over the years to Machi. It remains a very good restaurant. It has an extensive menu to suit all tastes. The people we were with don't like seafood but we were still able to find a variety of dishes to share.

Air conditioner broken on a very hot night and they wouldn’t open the doors. Five served entree and waited for the other for 20 minutes. No one could give us an update. I think they had forgotten one entree. Otherwise food was very good.

Very unusual and interesting food that was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. The tacos were outstanding. We both enjoyed the aromatic tastes and found it difficult to choose our meals.

We had a great experience at Machi. We ordered the Abalone as starter and the Seafood platter for mains, followed by an interesting apple creme brulee. The food was fantastic. We will definitely be going back again!

Beautifully presented food. Serves arent huge but prices are in line with that. Delicious and interesting dishes. Service with a smile. My only criticism is how they brought the main courses out as they didn't come out at the same time..a bit of a delay. Not sure if they thought we were sharing. Overall a nice night.We would return.

Food was excellent as always, but because the restaurant was filled to capacity, I feel the waiting staff were run off their feet a little. We only ordered a seafood platter for 2, but unfortunately nearly took 1 hour to arrive
