Very tasty. Generous portions. First time trying this restaurant. We got take out. Tried the chicken karage (huge portions), shrimp tempura (5), Tod mun goong app (very tasty chicken and shrimp nugget) my favorite. Pad See Ew came with generous portion of grill pork - tasty. Ba Mee Nam is a wonton soup ramen noodle (wonton has shrimp and chicken). Choice of grilled pork or chicken, generous portion of meat. Packed nicely for takeout. Broth was very nice. It is so nice Chinese broccoli was in several of our dishes, perfectly cooked and crunchy. What a treat. Khao Kha Moon - save for another meal, rice dish with braised pork and veggies and egg. Restaurant interior is very simple but cozy. Will definitely order again. read more

My family and I came for dinner on a Friday night and had an overall positive experience. The restaurant was pretty empty when we arrived around 6, though it had filled up a bit by the time we left. Ambiance was comfortable and welcoming, other than the fact that it was a bit cold. We ordered the veggie potstickers as an app, which were very flavorful and tasty. For my main, I ordered the Khao Gai Yang, a dish with chicken, rice, veggies, and a sauce on the side. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. My only complaint is that the sauce was quite fishy, which isn't to my personal taste. I would come back but try something else next time. read more

Wow! This place is a great surprise! So glad we finally have a really good Thai/Asian fusion place close to us. Their grilled meat in the various dishes is a particular high point, the pork being the most impressive (moo yang). Very nice spring rolls, some of the best I've had. Gyoza also good. Even Pad Thai, which is usually kind of boring elsewhere, was nice. Also enjoyed some miso soup. Peanut Curry rice is also great. We have only had take out so far. We will have to have the full experience soon and visit for a meal. read more

I almost never leave reviews - but I Just ate here for the first time, and it was truly one of the best meals I have ever had in my life!! I had the peanut curry with steamed chicken and rice, and it was an absolute flavor explosion!! The combination of flavors was exquisite and perfect, and the presentation was beautiful. (And plentiful - we all had leftovers.) I just wish I had thought to take photos. Our group of six all raved about their meals, and the apps were fabulous as well. (We had spring rolls, crab Rangoons, chicken satay, and edamame.) I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Would make the 2-hour round trip to have that peanut curry again in a heartbeat... read more

Soft opening review: The staff was very attentive, friendly and happy to open their new restaurant (they also own Smack Noodle in Maynard.) We tried the spicy edamame (good flavor, with a slightly sweet and spicy glaze) and the roti peanut curry (described as a flatbread but was more of a crispy, flaky pancake with a delicious spicy peanut sauce. We could have grabbed a spoon and ate the remaining sauce!) They have several beers on draft including Sapporo, and they are going to serve cocktails in the future. They are located in the former Amory's Tomb craft beer location, which they have refreshed with new tables and chairs, a new wooden bar top and a wonderful mural on the long wall. We were very pleased and will return soon! read more

New spot in the area. The staff was friendly. The food was solid. The groups favorite was the garlic chicken and gyoza. The tom yum fried rice was good but extremely spicy. I can handle and like spice, but couldn't handle the fried rice. read more

Horrible experience. Went on Friday about 4:30pm. Not too busy, should have been great service. Instead, the waitress was a young teenager who couldn't remember orders, would not stop interrupting me and my client asking if we wanted to order more food. To get a second beverage was hard. Waitress would see empty drinks but not ask. I had to get up to find her and ask for drink. At the end, the food I ordered to go was not in the bag. I was charged for everything and even gave a 20% tip because I felt bad for a kid waitress. BUT then trying to call and talk to a manager about getting the food I paid for went bad. No one spoke English Friday or Saturday. There was no manager and I was told I have to speak the owner Harry. However, they would not provide contact info for Harry or any way to communicate with Harry. read more

Great new addition to the Maynard culinary scene. Thai/asian food the way it should be done. I was impressed with the chicken basil dish. I wasn't expecting it to be smaller crumbled pieces of chicken, but it works. The staff are welcoming and it is a nice space after renovation. read more

Makiin - Chicken Basil - spicy! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Maynard, Massachusetts

Let me start by saying that our waitress was absolutely lovely! So happy and sweet. She was the best part of our experience. Atmosphere was fairly stark other than the slightly bizarre mural and it was empty and very cold. Our waitress was super accommodating and brought over a space heater. The music was loud and had dance vibes. Just not what I was looking for. The soup was super flavorful and my boyfriend loved it. The peanut curry was mediocre and needed more vegetables. The spicy edamame was just alright. We love trying new places, but I won't be back to this one, unfortunately. read more

Just tried the updated menu -- the grilled dishes are so good! Really tasty and the prices are super reasonable. read more

So good! Everything we had was delicious! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was welcoming. We'll definitely be going back!

Interesting menu, pretty and comfortable space, nice music, good service, Very yummy fare.

If you like sweet food, then this is the place for you. With the help of the waitress I ordered something "not sweet". It was sweet to me. Back to "chinatown" where I can get more authentic asian cuisine. The service and atmosphere was good. read more

This is the most sophisticated restaurant in Concord/Maynard/Acton area. My partner and I went for a date night and everything we had was delicious. It's surprising that this restaurant hasn't gathered more attention. I prefer this place much more than Smack Noodle, where everything tastes the same. read more

Got takeout right before close at 2:30. The woman working the front was all smiles and very kind. The soft shell crab bun was the standout, the fried chicken (karage) was good as well. the peanut curry sauce came separate from the meats and veggies (appreciated). the sauce was almost too sweet for our liking, but the pork was cooked very well with amazing flavor! read more

Oh my goodness, I am so excited to have this place in Maynard! The first bite of my meal had me downloading yelp to leave this review. Tonight, I had a tofu bun for my appetizer, and the makiin fried rice with grilled pork as my entree. 10/10 for both. Can't wait to come back! read more

Our first take out from Makiin was a delight. We had fried oysters, a tofu bun, a pork bun, and Mi Kii Mai with Grilled chicken. The oysters were delicately crispy and flavorful, although the oysters had completely dissolved. The buns were outstanding - excellent cook on the proteins and everything tasted great. The noodles, however, were spectacular - spicy and sweet and delicious. We're looking forward to going back and trying the rice dishes. The place looks roomy and inviting. I hope the area embraces another Thai-fusion restaurant. We're lucky to have so many great choices. read more

The food was great but they were very understaffed and service was really bad. We were seated and then ignored for 40 mins, the waiter doggedly refused to look our way, take our order or even give us water until we reminded him a few times. He didn't even take our order right and when we asked about the missing items kept saying they were working on it. We finally gave up after 2 hours and asked for the check read more

My boyfriend and I are very happy that this place opened up. We just ate there for the first time tonight and it was absolutely incredible. The waitress was so sweet and so kind. We will definitely be coming back for more. I hope they stick around for a long time! read more

Brought my son today to try this out. Food was fantastic! We tried spicy vegetable dumplings, soft shell crab bun, and chicken peanut curry. Everything was great. We will be back! read more

What an amazing surprise! We had five dishes and all blew us away. The soft-shelled crab bun just exploded with layers of taste and texture. Wonderful and sweet service to boot. And only 2 weeks old. read more

Take-out: ordered only the Mi Makiin with grilled chicken. Disappointing. Blah remen noodles in a mild brown sauce, forgettable vegetables, near-tastless chicken. read more

I got the Mi Kii Mao with grilled chicken and was very pleased, good flavors and spice. The waiter was attentive, polite, and made a good lunch recommendation. I'm glad to have another great restaurant in Maynard, and I'll be back. read more
