Great food and wonderfully presented food. The miso cod was cooked to perfection, the udon was tasty and the panna cotta had a perfect consistency.

Food is great and the staff is friendly. The only downside is price is a bit overpriced, it is the same as any fine dining restaurant. Roughly $70-80 pp.

A very good experience overall. Food was fantastic although a bit on the pricy side, and food was served a bit slow probably because it was a Friday night.

The food was delicious. I am pregnant so delivering something good without raw food and raw eggs is difficult. But the waitress was very kind to accommodate and the food came out amazing. I'll definitely come back when I'm NOT pregnant because there were other dishes that looked divine!

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!

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.

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.

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.
