    It's one of the best restaurants i have visited so far in 2025. It has a great environment, fantastic cocktails, amazing food, and the front of the house are 100% engaged to take care of you. It can be a little bit overpriced, but it's worth it. I will definitely go back

    Muy bonito lugar, hubiera sido perfecto pero la persona encargada de servirnos el agua de llegada nos aventó los porta vasos y de muy mala gana sirvió el sparking water, nuestra mesera fue muy amable y todos los chicos de Expo que nos llevaron uno a uno los platos, creo solo eso me hubiera gustado llegaran todos al mismo tiempo, pero en general estuvo bien

    We had a poor experience at Chotto Matte. Firstly, the noise level was so high, despite asking the server to turn it down , that we could not hear each other at the table. The server herself could not hear us to take our orders. Secondly, the plates just kept coming out and no one told us what they were, nor did they provide serving spoons. Even my birthday cake did not come with plates or a serving spoon. Overall, it was rushed, our server was not engaged. The food was OK but not great. I had been there the previous summer ( August 2024) and the food was great so I was anxious to go back. But last night it was a party scene with lots of chaos and it was really not enjoyable. Everyone was taking selfies at their table and partying, which is great, but Chotto turned into a bar/club versus an actual restaurant. I wish they could do better.

    Absolutely amazing appearance, been wanting to try for a while now. Ask for Undral she made the experience amazing for us. Definitely get the waygu and the Toro sashimi but be warned expect to shell out an awful lot. I eat out a few times a week and even this bill surprised me. Only thing I might recommend is disclosing that the Tap water was $14. Yes that’s right $14 for our water.

    Love this place, but the ‘wow’ factor has definitely changed. Our food was late, the server needed more support and some of my favorite dishes changed and/or removed from the menu.

    Food is great, but the service is horrible. Have been there twice and don’t need to go back.
