My family and I visited this past Sunday. Finding parking in the restaurant parking lot and underneath the building was a challenge, so we gave up on that. But we easily found parking across the street, where customers park to go to Eddie V's. The entrance and inside this restaurant is so beautiful. The atmosphere and look of the place is an experience all by itself. We visited after seeing a review video on IG that announced there is a buffet. We were excited to learn once we got there a steak and eggs as well as mimosas are included with the buffet, so that was a good deal. The presentation of the buffet was beautiful and the food was mostly tasty. I noticed there was a delay with keeping everything replenished, including some food items and the mimosa glasses and juices. The champagne bottle was empty for a long time. I wanted the cranberry juice, but it took forever to be replenished. When I return, I will order from the menu. The turmeric fish and beef noodle dish were absolutely delicious. The soursop mocktail was wonderful. For the steak and eggs, the eggs were cooked perfectly. The steak really needed some seasoning or something. It was served with a delicious sauce, but the steak itself needed the grissel trimmed and at least be seasoned with lemongrass, garlic - something. It's tough to compete with all of the Thai restaurant options in Houston. If Makiin sharpens up in a few areas, I think they'll continue to do well.
