Makoto's Japanese Steakhouse - Boone, NC

[@Phillip-yy4fr]

I have never eaten at a place like that where they prepare the food right in front of you and serve it to you right off the grill. After watching your video this is a bucket list item for me now. The food looked great and the friendly people working there made it even better. I hope you have a great weekend.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for watching. If you try a place like this, let us know about your experience.

[@vafunseekers]

We always enjoy a Japanese Steakhouse. It's fun having the food cooked right in front of you (much better than going to Subway!). We always enjoy the tricks and jokes too. Looks like this was an excellent value and really nice people working here. Thanks for sharing!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you all for watching and for commenting. Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it had been far too long since our last visit there.

[@cathybriggs5846]

Ive never been to a resturant like this. Really enjoyed this video. Now i know how they operate.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching!

Food looks good Happy Mother's Day

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you very much, and for the Mother's Day wishes

[@judyparker8283]

Used to eat at places like that with my cousins when I was young so your video brought back a lot of fun memories. Thoroughly enjoyed your funny story/joke at the beginning ha ha!!!🤣 keep those "funny videos coming!😊

[@NCMemoryMakers]

We like to try to add some humor once in a while. Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching, and we're glad it brought back fond memories for you.

Looked delicious. Glad you got healed up, and lesson learned (lol). They always look busy going by. Happy Anniversary. God bless.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@amymclemore6551]

I do think Makoto's was quite the step up from Subway. Good choice. Glad you were able to have the table to yourselves. Your meals looked great.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for watching. We really enjoyed going back there. I can't believe it's been that many years. Yes, that was quite a step up from Subway 😂😂😂😂

[@arquitakeys9480]

I love the playful bantering that the two of you have. Keep the love and happiness going! God bless

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you very much for that. We do love to have banter between ourselves. A few people have complained about it, but we've been married 31 years. That's how we are. It's how we've always been. Thank you for appreciating it.

[@DonnaAnders-w4d]

We just love Makotos , one of our favorites. Don’t get there often enough. So glad you got to go. They do give generous portions. We have been watching all your recent videos of the restaurants at the beach, your trip to Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock and the cute motel there. Those are some of our favorite areas to visit. Happy Mother’s Day. God Bless you both. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@NCMemoryMakers]

God bless you, as well. And thank you very much for watching, and for your kind comments.

[@jcnichols1854]

Looked yummy 😋. Enjoyed the video

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thanks for watching!

[@KathyWalters-ol8mh]

We love going out for a Japanese habachi meal. Yours looked great. God bless you.

[@dww-fromnc]

Derrick, the thing about Subway was absolutely awesome 😅😅😅 ! Nice video.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

😂😂😂😂 Yeah, I thought that would be humorous.

[@Momtocam1997]

We will be in Boone the end of June for our anniversary…

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Hope y'all have a great time!

[@Lorane-y1m]

I like how he cleans the grill

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, it was a fun experience.

[@TRPage]

Oh man! A Japanese steakhouse is my biggest weakness. I ate here a few years back and remember loving it. Loved the video guys!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you for watching. Glad the video brought back memories of your visit. We're glad you enjoyed it.

[@amberbryant8141]

Oh look good food❤ Remember that my classmates and I’m 8th grade and teachers go trip Kobe-Japanese house of steak& seafood in Hickory NC.. Chef cooking foods. Oh so delicious chicken, carrots and brown rice love it. ❤

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, we've been to Kobe's one time. That is an excellent place, as well. Thank you for watching.

[@GaryLetford]

Looked very good.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, very good.

[@joannecollier8782]

That intro was hilarious! 😂 The food looks delicious! We’ve never been to a hibachi grill restaurant, we’re going to try the one in Pigeon Forge (Little Tokyo) next trip. Great video!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed the intro. I would be curious to know if the one in Pigeon Forge is good, as well. We've never tried it.

[@vafunseekers]

The one in Pigeon Forge is one of the best that we have been to. It's David's favorite place to eat in Pigeon Forge. You will enjoy it. Try to go at lunch time because the prices are cheaper and the portions are still huge.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@@vafunseekers We will have to try it. Going at lunch and the lower prices, was one of the reasons I was concerned that the portions would be small. I was pleasantly surprised about that. Still have enough for lunch today!

[@Bernard32]

That looks like a great place to eat! Seems like the prices are good too.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, very reasonable for the amount of food we got.

[@MegaBait1616]

We are going to Tokyo Diner tomorrow over by Frankie's Pizza . Happy Mom's Day ..

[@NCMemoryMakers]

We enjoy that place, as well. We've been there a few times. Hope you have a great meal.

[@AugustKuster]

Delicious food

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, it was! Thanks for watching.

[@smoky_mountain_treasure_hunter]

I hear Boone is a beautiful place

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, it is situated right in the NC Blue Ridge Mountains.

[@tonylashmit2613]

Wish I could drag Ginger into a Japenese Steakhouse ,lol ! Its just not her thing. I've always loved to watch them prepare the eats! . I'm surprised the chef didn't do a volcano onion? By the way when I make the sweet or as they call it candied carrots, I use a combination of butter , brown sugar and honey . I'll send yall the recipe. Great video as always!

[@NCMemoryMakers]

If you have a recipe for those, that would be nice. We also noticed he didn't do the volcanic onion. The place we went in Hickory a while back, did do it.

[@Lovelyprincess75]

I love Makotas

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yes, very good!

[@danielfoster3642]

Cool sushi restaurant.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Hello from Gatlinburg! Be very careful eating at these types of places as the sodium content goes through the roof and the sauces they use are up there too ..Just my 2 cents 😂

[@NCMemoryMakers]

You're probably correct about that. I guess the good thing, is that this is the first time in about 15 years that we've been there.

[@yamilethdecastro1116]

Delicius food japanese!❤

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Thank you for watching!

[@ronnieevans2278]

put a spoon full of the shrimp sauce into the soup its great

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Great suggestion! Sounds like that would be good!

[@njay2340]

lol…you should have asked him if they provided umbrellas before he started throwing rice at you. I’d probably said I’m up for a food fight.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

Yeah, we've seen them toss shrimp before, but never rice. That could get messy.

[@brianb.5473]

Derrick, ive tried to leave you a comment on this video and the last one as well. But youtube keeps removing them. It was about where you can do trivia on youre favorite TV show. They just removed a word from this comment. Ill try spacing and see if that works. I used May and Berry together. But that word was removed.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

I have no idea why that would be happening. I have set KZbin to not allow comments containing certain words, but those are all vulgar or cuss words. And honestly, sometimes it holds comments for review, that don't contain anything wrong. I don't know why it would remove something with Mayberry in it. That's ridiculous. I'm sorry that's happening. I'll go and look at the ones that are held for review, to see if they are in there.

[@brianb.5473]

@@NCMemoryMakers it is trivia on each individual show. I know you would enjoy it. That classic Chan. Nel blocks that if I try to tell you the exact place to play

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@@brianb.5473 I just checked the comments held for review, and I did not see any of yours in there. I don't know what the issue with KZbin is.

Thougt she was your daughter

[@NCMemoryMakers]

No, you didn't. Quit being a smart aleck and act like you've got some manners. Weren't you taught by your parents, how to be respectful? Do you realize that the way you act, reflects on your upbringing? Not sure if you have the capacity to understand that, but it does.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@kenfox22 Now, we both get that you are fascinated with my wife and jealous of me, but you can grow up now. People who troll this channel, don't last long on it. Just keep on showing yourself.

[@NCMemoryMakers]

@islandluvr007 Now, let me go ahead and help you understand something else, since you obviously never grew up, you aren't very bright, and you don't know how to act because your parents obviously never taught you the difference between right and wrong... You can make your little snarky comments on videos like this, but one thing you will not do, and we will not allow you to do, is to come and insult my wife and her brother on a beautiful video about their reunion. This man went through a lot of pain growing up, and you want to come on there and be insulting? And you think we're going to allow you to do that? Did you notice that nobody else but you, made a negative comment? You're the only one. That shows that most of the other people are nice and kind individuals, and you are not a very good person at all. You're a coward who hides behind a profile and won't even show your face, yet you want to come on here and insult others. You need to grow up. I mean, calling people "fatty"? How kindergarten level is that? Now, you can leave this channel, or I'll kick you off. Your choice.
