Makin Thai & Sushi

Makin Thai & Sushi is a great spot for Thai food lovers. The dishes are authentic, tasty, and made with fresh ingredients. Whether you're familiar with Thai food or trying it for the first time, you’ll enjoy the flavors. The restaurant may be small, but it has a cozy and welcoming vibe. The staff is friendly and takes good care of you, making sure you have a great experience. If you're in Milwaukie and craving real Thai food, Makin Thai & Sushi is a must-visit!

It was great, our waitresses were both absolutely hilarious. We went a little late, so when one of them asked us if we wanted anything else, my buddy asked what are the options and she said "no! No options! I want to go home!" And then she started cracking up! One if the best restraint experiences I ever had

I've eaten here several times. Food is amazing in general. This review is to warn you specifically about the Basil Duck dish...please leave duck to the Chinese. It was dry and had bell peppers and onions on the side...who the hell cooks duck like that?! Order anything else besides the duck.

This place is great and the service is always top notch! They have a good mix of Thai food and sushi. Their green curry rice and poke bowl are my go-to, but anything on the menu is going to be delicious.

Surprisingly wonderful sushi! I always look at the menu to see if majority of their items have 'krab' or imitation crab in them and I was pleasantly surprised that this menu had a lot of options that didn't have imitation crab, which makes it feel higher quality to me! And seems more authentic, less American, which is something I look for in an enjoyable sushi experience! And other Members of my dinner party had Thai food and they seem to also really enjoy it! (Ask for mild or no spice if you don't like the Thai heat, very hot!!)

Do you know how tricky it is to find a Thai restaurant open between 3 and 4 midweek? We didn't! Flew in from Chicago looking for Thai food in Milwaukie and our first two choices were closed. Then we stumbled on Makin Thai! Very small place but easy access and parking, no wait mid day mid week, great wait staff; friendly, cheerful, and knowledgeable. Food was delicious and plenty of it! Moved Makin Thai to the top of our list.

Casual little space. Excellent service. And even better that you can get Thai food and sushi! We ordered 3 different Bento Boxes and a Spider Roll. The Spider roll was incredible. So flavorful! Never had the option to have Pad See Ew in a bento box before! All of us loved it!

Update 01/22: I went in around 7pm and was told I wouldn't be able to order to-go, although their closing time is listed as 8:30. Unfortunately will impact my future orders. Went somewhere else. Wow, I am so impressed with this restaurant! I love that they serve Thai and sushi in one stop. The packaging is thoughtful and beautiful. They even vent anything that needs it so it doesn't get soggy (ex: pot stickers). The portions are great and the food is just lovely. The chicken satay was so tender and flavorful, possibly the best I've had. The sushi was top-notch and just delicious, as were the dumplings and pad thai. Will be back!

Was looking for sushi near home and found this amazing place! Had the Bento box so I could have Thai food AND sushi! Staff were outgoing and fast! Food was delicious and more than I could eat. Really suggest you give it a try. We will be coming back.

My co-worker and I trued MA-KIN for lunch today. It was crowded, which tells me it's good! I tried the glass noodle dish- Pad Woon Sen and added beef. It was delicious and the beef flavorful and tender. My co-worker had Pad ko prow with chicken and she loved hers too. Service was very friendly and attentive. I'll be back, I'd like to try the sushi next time.

Ma-Kin Thai and Sushi is a small strip mall restaurant by the 224 office and industrial area. Their refrigerated counter fish display was full; sushi was popular at many tables. I was there for the 1/2 duck with holy basil house specialty. As we know from The King and I, a fictional work inspired by facts, King Mongkut, Rama IV, brought forks to Thailand. So this dish comes with a fork, spoon, and a sharp knife. The Thai people take their royal family very seriously. King Mongkut (1804 - 1868) is revered by Thai small businesses who often display a photograph of him. A friend of mine is part of the royal family though the royal family is very large and multi-branched. The duck is the breast in slices, deboned in a light and tasty broth. The skin is on, you could easily remove it with the knife. The skin is not spiced as you might find with some Chinese roast duck. The broth is slightly sweet, not oily, not salty, and is flavored by black pepper. I did not know about black or white pepper in Thai cooking, but I do now! Sriracha is available at the table. Diced onions and red and green peppers are sautéed in the making of the broth, and the dish includes cabbage, green beans, carrots, and broccoli. The dish is topped with fried basil, though it loses its flavor in doing that and becomes more a texture. The dish feeds two. The rice is on the side with a choice of white, sticky or brown rice. The brown rice was hot and steamy, very fluffy. So I'm adding them to my Brown Rice Collection! The duck came recommended by Gabriel Rucker, it is one of his chef's night off dishes. A slightly lemon ice water is served. They have beer, wine and sake along with other non-alcoholic options. It is popular to eat in or carry out. Parking is plentiful, the meal came out fast, and the staff was excellent.

Friendly staffs, great food! Unfortunately, the portions keeps getting smaller and smaller each time we ordered...

I visited Ma-Kin Thai & Sushi for the first time to meet a friend for lunch, and it was a great experience! I was craving Thai fried rice, so I ordered the Thai Basil Fried Rice, while my friend went with the Pad Kee Mao. Both dishes were delicious--perfectly flavored and cooked, though I could have asked for mine to be a bit spicier! The service was quick and friendly, making the meal even more enjoyable. I'll definitely be back to try the roast duck fried rice next time!

Found this little place completely by accident after stopping for lunch at another restaurant nearby that had a long long wait for food and I just couldn't wait for food. Did a quick yelp search, Ma-Kin popped up and the rest is history. I chatted with several people who were not first-timers, asking them what they were eating and what they recommended, and then settled on the Salmon Poke Bowl. I was not disappointed! Easily hands-down the best poke I've ever had, and easily the most amazing presentation of any poke bowl I've ever seen. The salmon was fresh, the veggies perfect, the rice delicious, the avocado ripe & creamy, the poke sauce to die for. Just my opinion here, folks - it was great! The service was quick, friendly and very helpful when asking about their menu items (so many menu items!). The location includes a parking lot which I very much appreciated.

Let's talk about what is now my favorite and go-to sushi spot. I used to go to a place in Clackamas that had similar prices and portions and I truly enjoyed. We stopped going there after prices increased and the service got worse. I had passed this place many times over the years, but never tried it until New Year's Day. My husband and I were craving sushi and they were open and had tables open when we called. This place is fairly small, but you're greeted by a case of sushi and friendly faces. We were seated immediately and impressed by the wide variety of options on the menu. Both craving sushi, we ordered a few rolls, and decided to get a soup to go for the following day's lunch. We ordered the Hamachi Avocado roll, spicy salmon roll, and Red Dragon roll. They've pretty much all become regular orders for us, but we've expanded and haven't tried a single thing we haven't loved. The service is excellent - everyone there is so friendly and I love that they will joke around with you like you're an old friend or a regular even when you've only been there a couple times.

Food -is consistently great ! Ambience - clean, modern and friendly Service - outstanding !!

Very cute little restaurant, tastefully decorated. They offer a fairly wide menu, consisting of Thai, Japanese, and Chinese cuisines. We started with the "Red Dragon" sushi roll, which was beautifully presented. Most importantly, the flavors popped -- the roll consisted of shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado, topped with fresh tuna, and served with spicy mayo. So good. For my main course, I opted for the BBQ Chicken with Yakisoba. The chicken had a nice grilled flavor, and it was served with fresh veggies that were cooked just right; all served in a flavorful sauce. We really enjoyed our lunch, and would love to come back for an extended multi-course sushi meal (with sake).

We came here because we wanted something warming and be able to try different foods out. People are very friendly and the atmosphere is really what we were looking for, relaxing and cozy, after a busy holidays. The food was great and definitely the tasty and comforting ones. Crab fried rice was very flavorful with fair amount of ingredients. The wok stire fried taste was very tasty. The curry with medium spicy was just right. It could have more vegetables. Milwaukie roll was creamy and smooth with avocado. It is a great place to sit down with friends and families and focus on the good food.

10/10 unexpected gem! Fresh, delicious, good portions & great price! Clean and welcoming environment Staff is especially friendly, attentive, and they create a cozy atmosphere.

First time be a patron to this establishment. We called in our order for takeout which was a breeze. We arrived a few minutes before our order was ready. The restaurant appeared clean, had numerous customers and great decor. The woman who helped us was very friendly and attentive. The food came out on time and we headed home. We ordered the gyoza, salmon sashimi, hamachi avocado roll and the eel roll. The gyoza was good, not too greasy and flavorful. The fish and eel tasted fresh and had good flavor. I should have ordered more because my daughters and I devoured this and could have stuffed ourselves with another two rolls. The prices were good, the food was good, the staff was friendly- we'll be back

First time here, certainly won't be the last! Astonishingly good food and a very positive vibe to go with it. The miso soup had an unusually nice flavor for being such standard fare at so many restaurants and the Thai Rolls could not have been better. They were perfectly crispy on the outside. The Pad See Ew's "hot" level was mild at a 2 of 5, which was just what I wanted. Some heat to go with the flavor, but not detracting from the dish as a whole. The Spicy Tuna roll was also really scrumptious. Even the salad seemed to have a little extra something to it. Altogether, I'm really surprised at just how good the meal was. The service was also spot on; attentive, friendly, and cheerful! Now, I'm really looking forward to my next visit! 2nd VISIT: Consistently excellent! From the positive vibes to the super fantastic food, this is a little gem of a restaurant. I'm very glad to have found it! This time around, I'm having the Hiyashi Wakame (seaweed salad) and the Milwaukie Roll. Both are super fresh and tasty. If you've ever had dated seaweed salad, then you know the difference! Fresh, flavorful, and a bit of crunchiness ... perfect. The Milwaukie Roll is pretty to look at and is delicious, as well. I'm a huge fan of tempura, but opted for something else this time and was pleased that I did. The smoked salmon flavor isn't overpowering and is well complimented by the cream cheese. The roe, added to the top, adds some nice flavor and texturing, too. The server had a wonderfully light-hearted exchange with some other customers that had me grinning like a little kid and was yet another example of exemplary service. Really, this was just another great visit. I'm sure that I foresee another visit and hope your visits are as magical as mine have been!

Everything I've had here has been outstanding!!! Love the food and the service!!! Orange Chicken is a favorite. Also the sushi and poke salad.

The spicy combination soup was so good but unfortunately the red dragon roll lacked any flavor or freshness. I'd give the roll 2.5 outta a 10. Soup was 10.0. Must have fresh edible sushi for higher yelp score. It tastes like soap.

Really sweet service every time, the servers always greet us like family . Great sushi and Thai food. On the more expensive side, but quality and good portions. A place where our little kids enjoy eating.

Had been several times, thought it was ok, but after last visit, we won't ever return. Was insulted by the waitress who , I imagine , thought she was being cute but it was NOT. Educate your servers about manners!

Came here for lunch with my husband for our anniversary. This place is so cute. Reminds me of a place in Gresham we used to go to when we first met. Servers were so friendly and attentive, food was fresh and tasty! Prices are pretty good! Excited to go back and try some Thai food from their menu.

Sushi was amazing!! Great atmosphere and great service. This little hidden gem does not disappoint.

Went here for dinner. food is ok well except for the gyoza's which just fell apart. But we had beers with our meal and when we left the helpers asked my wife if she was driving. Actually they said "you're not driving are you?" That was so rude and offensive. I use a can and have a hard time walking yet they didn't speak to me about driving. We will NEVER go to that place again. That was the rudest comment we have ever heard in our 50 years of going out to dinner.

Excellent food, excellent service! Super cute hole in the wall! 5 of us went and had great recommendations from our darling waitress! Can't speak highly enough of our service! Her personality was perfect for us! If we lived here, we would go back in a heart beat!!!!

Came for the Sushi.. Surprisingly great! Sat down right away, fast service, food came out fast! Delicious! Will be back. Thank you

Just ok for me. I was really excited about the green curry rice but there was really only a hint of curry flavor and the eggplant and string beans were not cooked enough to be edible. Pad Thai was very sweet. Sushi seemed fresh.

Amazing food with amazing variety! Being in the Clackamas/Milwaukie area... we were looking for a great place to fill our Thai and sushi cravings and Ma-kin surely hit all the spots. From the papaya salad, to the pad thai, to the Tom kha, to the fried tempura roll. Everything was expertly crafted with amazing flavor that wasn't overpowering but just right! Not only that but the presentation was beautiful as well. The gentleman and women working were very kind and made us feel welcomed in their space and as we heard the dings of the online order kept coming through... we knew we did good in trusting the Yelp community in exploring this amazing restaurant. Highly recommend!

This cute place made the best sushi I've ever had! Cozy little nook inside a business park. My friend and I very much enjoyed the delicious, fresh sushi. Thank you!

Yum! Multiple happy trips for tasty food! Clean! Friendly team there too! Easy parking! More visits ahead.

The food is incredible, friendly staff and quick! I recommend this to anyone wanting a healthy treat.

First time attending! I'm giving them 5 stars even though service was slightly slow but the food makes up for it all! We ordered quite a few things. I can't remember it all. But it's ALL amazing. Everything is fresh to order! The fried Shrimp Tempura is so good. They also include fried carrots & broccoli. You're thinking NO... I'm saying YES! It was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend! It comes with a red sauce- which is so good. The only thing they were out of was squid legs! The curry was amazing. Rice comes on the side- super good & not over cooked. Gyoza was great as well! They're not fried. I've included the items I ordered according to menu Letter R21 39 yellow curry with chicken A4 R1 SH1 SH2 2 N1 We will be returning! Thanks again. Ps- someone said it was a hole in the wall I think of a horrible looking building & inside. It's pretty nice. Nice wooden tables. Hard metal chairs. It's a cute place.

Nice people. However, I'm unsure where all these rave reviews are coming from. I've found the food to be average. Weird.

I'm new to the area, and I have been spoiled with flavor, so I'm a little disappointed but willing to give them one more chance because of their customer service

New spot right down the road from us so we were super excited! The Beef Noodle Soup (OMG) reminded me of the niu rou mien growing up. Sooooo GOOD, beef was so tender and the broth is amazing, not too overpowering! GOTTA TRY IT!! Orange chicken was also really tasty and has a nice crispy texture (hate it when orange chicken is soggy)! Good portion too! Everything was made fresh and the customer service was amazing. The lady working the counter was so sweet and thoughtful with the condiments and packaging of everything. Will definitely be coming back regularly! Love this place already

I wish I could give this place 3.5/5 because I don't think it deserves a 3. To be fair I got take out so I will probably go back and get dine in for a more fair review. I got the bento box with pad Thai chicken, spicy salmon roll and thai spring rolls. Great value for 16$ in my opinion. The pad thai was great, fried rolls were crispy and flavorful but nothing mind-boggling, the problem came with the spicy salmon roll... i was skeptical getting sushi at a Thai spot but i've read great reviews and figured might as well. Well it was basically a veggie roll because the salmon was no where to be found (see picture). It didn't taste bad by any means but I was just expecting more and I feel like calling it a spicy salmon roll is kind of ridiculous if there is no salmon in it. Regardless I will try again because there was a lot of potential, but for now- stick to the thai dishes, maybe skip the sushi.

Seriously my favorite Thai place in town. Great service and everything we have ordered has been amazing. Their peanut sauce and salad rolls is the best I've ever had! The size of their menu is outstanding and every item is perfection.

So good! It's a kind of small restaurant in a strip mall. It's so cutely decorated with about 6 or 7 tables. Staff were very friendly and food came out quickly. I liked how they marked things on the menu that could be made vegetarian, which is helpful for me. Their Thai menu is big and their sushi menu is also good-sized. Food was super flavorful and delicious. Prices and portions are reasonable and for $61 (including tip), we had an appetizer, two entrees, and two drinks. We'll be back!

Good food, good service, fair prices. What else is there? More words to add up to yelps' minimum characters.

Super cute little spot to have lunch or dinner. Delicious pad thai and sushi! Have had dinner at the restaurant and ordered take out and both times it was spot on. Be careful when choosing the spice level, the #2 spice level was a bit spicier than I anticipated, but still delicious. Highly recommend checking out this restaurant!

LOVED this place! Food is delicious! Dessert was great! Drinks as well. And costumer service was excellent!

Interesting little - literally - hole in the wall. Came here looking for Thai and sushi, weren't disappointed. Three of us, ordered a Satay appetizer, Pad Thai (shrimp), Yellow Curry (chicken), Stir Fried Eggplant (tofu), and a tuna Nigiri. A couple of bottled beers and a glass of lemonade. First thing I noticed (eggplant) was excellent flavor, plenty of veggies including the tofu. Review on the other two dishes was similar, and the dipping sauce for the chicken satay was well-rounded. Neat place. I'd come back. Definitely a nice find. $60 for all above, plus tip.

Absolutely the best sushi AND noodles!! Tried this place based on reviews while visiting the Portland area and it did not disappoint! Small little place inside but really cute!

I spent $40.50 on 3 items to go. Coconut soup broth was good but loaded with to many onions. Thai noodle dish with vegetables seemed like it had set on the steam table all day. Very mushy. Green bean dish was ok but the serving size was about 1 cup. This place used to be one of my favorites. I will only give it 1 star. Won't buy there again.

I would also give this place a 5 star if the portions were just a little more generous and the service a little bit more thawed out because the taste was decent. I hope the owners will take these feedback to heart. It's located in a restaurant desert so it may not need to change but isn't the point to be the best that you can be?

Awesome as ever! Please support our local businesses. Tried the Pad Thai in addition to sushi this time and it was delicious!

It's fine. For the money it's a bit of a disappointment. I'm a huge fan of bento boxes and have to say everything in ours was average at best. This happens every time I order from Milwaukee off Yelp. I see great reviews and forget to auto deduct 1 to 1.5 stars be cause the locals have no taste. All you have to do is send large portions and you get 5 stars... Nevertheless, the food is ok. Nothing to write home about.

I actually didn't eat on Monday because all I wanted was two Mai-King salad rolls. It's all I could think about. Who does that? Just go there. But watch for the busy times. It's small if you want to eat there. And there are sports televisions on if you like that . They are great at rolling out to- go orders, so do that first.

This was some of the best sushi and Thai food we have ever had!! My husband and our friend shared 4 different sushi rolls and some sashimi while I had some Thai appetizers and the Pad Se Eww which was great...probably the best I've had!! Can't wait to go back again and try more off of their huge menu!! Our waitress worked very hard with the customers inside and the take out orders.

Great little spot hiding in an unusual location. Definitely stop by here and you'll find your new go to sushi place. We love that they also have Thai food (which is also pretty good)

The food is always fresh and tasty. Service is exceptional and friendly. Very quick preparation on online orders.

Cute yet modern establishment offering both Sushi and Thai food. We tried a few things on both menus and loved everything. The veggies and sushi were both extremely fresh. Best Sushi and Thai we've had in a long time! Would highly recommend!

Two visits in one day went in for lunch and before I was even hungry I went back in for dinner. Why cause it was great. I have only had sushi so far, and while tempted by other dishes, I was so impressed had to stick with the sushi. I'm excited to have something good so close to work. Keep up the great work, don't sacrifice quality and keep focused on these sharp prices and I'll be a loyal customer for years.
