I should probably order something else when I come besides their classic ramen but it's so good. It fills you up in both body and soul. The drinks are great (though I think they could use a better grade of matcha for their matcha drink as well as offer some Japanese tea. I can help you guys source if you need!)
The 12% surcharge on top of the meal which did not cover any of the service charge which began at 18% was too much to bear. I would never go back. 33% gratuity is not acceptable.
Please find a business model where your customer is not double charged for service.
The Covid protocols are enforced. They are employing a clever call button system to reduce contact with the staff. Restaurant was quiet. Food was excellent.
Great restaurant and great food overall. The steamed buns are so so great and worth the trip. I felt a little rushed by the staff while eating though with repeated mentions about the time even though we had only been there 45 min and had been seated late and the high top chairs were a grating especially with kids getting in and out of their seats.
Along with the mandatory charge for COVID the price does not reflect the experience. Otherwise the food was great and good service.
My overall experience was fantastic! My fiance and I came a few minutes late for our reservation, but due to the amount of tables available, they found a spot for us immediately! The staff were very casual and fun to talk to! Our server Matthew was phenomenal! He was very articulate and well-informed about sake and other topics. He also made some recommendations to our meal and sake, and told us about the history and process of the birth of sake. He was also quick to respond to their wireless call system! All you need to do is hit the button, and your server will come as soon as possible.
The food was also just so amazing! The classic ramen tasted genuine and the noodles and meat were done just right! I would definitely recommend people to make a quick stop here!
Absolutely delicious food. Decent prices.
Sake is bae and the staff is always so amazingly perfect.
Loved the call button feature- servers are more efficient, you don't get interrupted, safer atmosphere for everyone- awesome. Fifteen bones gets you a lot of top-shelf hooch. Great choice for my first date with the other guest. My only regret? Not buying a bottle to take home.
Very good <3 thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Server was very knowledgeable and helpful regarding menu items and sake selection. The food was excellent and the venue was unique and edgy.
Awesome food and service
Great steam buns and mochi. Atmosphere is great. open and informative on their covid-19 procedures and request.
Great food, great service. Very accommodating establishment that will do their best to address any issue.
Amazing as always. Very transparent and open about their COVID guidelines. Food is still incredible delicious
Awesome food. Great sake. Our server was super helpful and friendly. i would recommend this place. What i loved was they brew their own Sake!
Fantastic and legit pancakes and sticky buns! Yummmm!
It was so nice to be able to get out and see people. I felt very safe at Moto-I with their Covid-19 policies in place.
Had their Thai fried rice and it was very underwhelming.
I love their Benny Buns. My friends live their ramen options. Their house made sake is always a hit. During Covid the restaurant is quite strict on their 90 minute time limit even if tables are still open, so be sure to scarf down your food and drink.
Great food! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great sake and suggestions.
Overall it was ok. Service was fine but the food was really greasy this time around.
The service staff were very nice but the service was very slow. It took 30 minutes to get our food. Disappointing.
The food was incredible, and the service was fantastic as always. They’re hqndling the Covid business operations perfectly.
I have always enjoyed Moto-I for any occasion. I found the staff lovlely
Excellent Food! Excellent Service! We appreciated the very thoughtful and thorough COVID practices.
The menu has been abridged since the pandemic, but the menu is still diverse and offers vegetarian options, which were much appreciated.
Best ramen in town by far!! Classic ramen, moto mule, rangoons are the best!
Really loved our Valentines Day dinner at Moto-I! Our server was really knowledgeable on the menu and the Sake. The food was great :)
We went here for the first time on valentines day and absolutely loved everything
The food, service and sake were phenomenal!
They have a great system in place regarding covid precautions, and the service was incredible! Lots of beautiful plants adding to the ambiance.
Exceptional mushroom Ramen. Best I've ever tried. Love this place!
Was nice to get back to the restaurant again. Always amazing food, paired with amazing service. And the popcorn... a must have.
The best meal I’ve had in a long time! Plus incredible service, great COVID protocols, and affordable for the quality of food and location.
Great food! Music could be different, doesn’t match the ambiance but otherwise, it’s great service and food.
Always a good experience
Excellent service, food, atmosphere. A bit pricey, but understandable during Covid.
The food and service here is always phenomenal, my partner and I love coming whenever we are in the cities. The original ramen and okonomoyaki are our favorites!!!
I’m always so impressed with this place. So thank you for making us feel safe during this pandemic. They have a new system where the server doesn’t come to your table as much, (you can buzz for them when needed.) I think it’s wonderful. That way they limit their interactions with people.
Also the server was so sweet, they didn’t like the look of our Rangoon’s that we ordered, (which myself and my partner though they looked good to us.) so the server put in another order for us on the house! Everything was wonderful, and we will be coming back!
