Fodor's Review:

Mak's looks like any other Hong Kong noodle shop, but it's one of the best known in town, with a reputation that belies its humble decor. The staff is attentive, and the menu includes some particularly inventive dishes, such as tasty pork-chutney noodles. The real test of a good noodle shop, however, is its wontons, and here they're fresh, delicate, and filled with whole shrimp. And don't miss the sui kau, filled with minced chicken and shrimp.

I liked the experience more than the food

Posted by jurisdoctor from Maryland on 5/14/08
If you know and love NYC's Wo Hop basement Chinese restaurant, you'll appreciate the charm of Mak's - it's small and cramped, some tables are communal, it's filled with locals, prices are reasonable. We were seated quickly and given an English menu upon request. I confess, I didn't like the flavor of my soup, my husband didn't care for his either. Perhaps it was simply too unfamiliar for our tastebuds. The wontons were very delicate. Overall, it was an interesting dining experience but I don't think I would return for the food.
