    My partner and I love Moto I. The food is so good. We love the pork belly bun and the Japanese fried chicken. The green salad is big enough for a family! It reminds us of a little bar somewhere on the outskirts of New York City!

    Food and service were both fantastic! The overall atmosphere was a bit loud, but what else to expect on a Saturday night. Everything was excellent.

    The food and service were fantastic! It was a bit pricy for the whole meal but worth it, I wish we could afford to eat there more often.

    Great food, friendly waitress, reasonable prices. Tried two kinds of pork buns, which were both excellent. I loved the mushroom ramen and my friend really liked the classic ramen. Will definitely be going back! Made a reservation for a Sunday night though likely wouldn’t have needed one.
